Weather lowdown. Summer officially begins in June in Athens and the weather reflects this. The average temperature this month is 24Â°C (75Â°F), while the average low is just 20Â°C (68Â°F), and the average high is a warm 28Â°C (82Â°F). The weather this month stays relatively the same throughout.
The first two weeks of June have perfect, sunny and warm 80 degree (27 Â°C) weather, with little clouds or rain. Children are not yet out of school, so places are open and not crowded. Do your best to avoid traveling in August, since Athens, like Paris, belongs to the tourists: Some 60% of all Athenians take their summer holiday between the 1st and 15th of August. Stretches when it's well over 100Â°F (38Â°C) are not uncommon in August, when anyone with health problems such as asthma should be wary of Athens's nefos.
