10Best Time to Visit

The first thing to consider when planning your trip to Santorini is the time of year. The island has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and if you plan to swim in the sea, autumn (September to October). These months offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and lower accommodation prices compared to the peak summer season. If you want to experience the island’s vibrant atmosphere but don’t mind larger crowds and higher prices, then July and August are ideal.
