Greece in April
In Athens, April averages about 20–21°C by day and 11–12°C at night, with 25–30 mm of rain over the month. Easter, wildflowers and warm afternoons over cold nights — the season signs off in style.
The weather: Spring asserts itself
Athens, long-term averages. The south is a few degrees milder, the north and the mountains colder.
Sea temperature around 16°C.
The north warms more slowly and snow holds on the highest peaks, but across the lowlands and islands this is some of the finest weather of the year — settled, and free of both winter damp and summer heat.
