How about a trip to Greece North

Greece North Jul

SummaryA Brief Summary

The north of Greece is a rugged and mountainous place, from the borders with Bulgaria, Turkey, North Macedonia and Albania, to the Aegean coast. There is little flat, open land here with the exception being the region around the largest city of the region, Thessaloniki. This is widely regarded as Greece’s cultural capital and is a city renowned for its festivals, events and vibrancy, and behind Athens is Greece’s largest. Along with the rest of Greece, the history here dates back eons, but this is fast becoming a regional hub for transport around southeast Europe and as such, getting in, out, or around here is very easy indeed, be it by air or sea, so why not stop off here for a little while and take in sights of Greece’s second city and the surrounding mountains.

WeatherAbout the Weather

Northern regions of Greece see quite an extreme variant of the Mediterranean climate. Winters are cool and often fairly overcast with rain on about 50% of days. Winter storms can bring occasional snows to the region, and when these arrive they can be very heavy. Spring is bright but turns increasingly sunny by late Apr and May, as well as warming considerably to 24°c. Highs above 30°c are seen a few times during this period. Summers are hot, with very hot weather (>40°c) quite common, with abundant sunshine and only passing showers. Bush / forest fires do occur here during the hottest periods once or twice a year, however they are often relatively small. Autumn starts hot and sunny, but becomes increasingly cooler and more showery. Winds are generally quite strong year-round from the North
