How about a trip to Greece Central

Frequently Europe’s hottest capital city, Athens has a true Mediterranean climate, with cool to mild, but wet winter and hot, dry and very sunny summers. Winters in Athens often feel colder that the thermometer readings when winds descend from the north adding significant windchill bringing rare, but heavy snowfall to the city. Aside from these unusual events, winters are cool and showery, but fairly bright, if not sunny. Spring (March to May) quickly warms up, becoming noticeably sunnier and drier in the process with May warmer and sunnier than most northern European cities during mid-summer. June to September is hot, almost totally dry and sunny. Very occasionally severe summer storms affect the region, bringing strong winds and large hail, but these are unusual. Summers also see breezes from the north to cool the heat, but these can subside during fierce heatwaves with temperatures exceeding 45°c and the threat of forest fires. Autumns are warm and bright, but increasingly wet with thunderstorms infrequent.
