Moving to Greece
If you’re considering a move to Greece, whether to Athens, Thessaloniki, or one of the Greek Islands, CML Cargo possesses the expertise and local insight to customise the move according to your specific needs.
Climate in Greece
Greece enjoys a Mediterranean climate, characterised by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Summers typically see temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C, especially in July and August, while winter temperatures average between 5°C and 15°C. The coastal regions often experience milder conditions compared to the mountainous areas, which can be cooler and receive snowfall during winter. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are particularly pleasant, offering moderate temperatures and fewer tourists, making these seasons ideal for relocation.
Popular Activities in Greece
Greece offers a rich tapestry of cultural, historical, and recreational experiences. Here are some highlights:
Exploring Historic Sites: Visit landmarks such as the Acropolis in Athens, the ancient city of Delphi, and the Palace of Knossos in Crete, each offering deep insights into Greece’s history.
Culinary Delights: Savour traditional Greek dishes such as moussaka, souvlaki, and baklava. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy regional specialities and fresh seafood in coastal tavernas.
Outdoor Adventures: Enjoy hiking in the Samaria Gorge, sailing around the Cyclades islands, or relaxing on the pristine beaches of the Ionian Sea. Greece’s diverse landscapes cater to a wide range of outdoor activities.
Art and Culture: Explore the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, attend performances at the ancient Epidaurus Theatre, or experience the vibrant art scenes in cities like Thessaloniki.
Festivals and Events: Participate in events like the Athens Epidaurus Festival, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, or local panigiria (traditional village festivals) to immerse yourself in Greek culture.
