Greece in November is different from the familiar summer holiday. The weather is sometimes pleasant for a city break, but rain and wind are possible, the sea is cooler and some services on the islands scale down.
The best-value way to book is with Flight Hunter after comparing dates, baggage and change terms.
Athens and Thessaloniki
The cities suit museums, food and walking when the weather is good. Keep a backup plan for a rainy day.
The Islands in November
The larger islands keep more services open, but small resort towns can be very quiet. Ferries are sometimes affected by wind and sea.
What to Pack
Layers, a light rain jacket, closed shoes and a small umbrella will help you cope with changing weather.
Who It Suits
The month suits those who prefer culture, food and fewer crowds. For a year-round comparison, read Greece weather by month.
