June to August (summer) is the most popular time to visit Thessaloniki, due to temperatures that reach the low 30s and rainfall reaching around 20 mm. This season brings the most tourists, meaning crowded attractions, higher hotel rates and less availability. Skip all these inconveniences by visiting from mid- to late-spring (April – May) and early- to mid-autumn (September – October). The temperatures are warm around these times while the rainfall volumes only increase to around 50 mm.
