Weather in Athens in November

November in Athens is mild enough that walking is the default. This is a city-break month more than a sea-holiday month.

In Greece, this is how Athens actually wears November, not how a country centroid would. Compared with July and January, November sits in the middle of Athens's year.

What to expect

Daytime

Mild afternoons in Athens are the prize in November. You can eat outside on the good days. You still want something for the breeze.

This is walking weather. Shade is useful, not essential the way it is in the hot months. A long outdoor day is a reasonable plan.

Rain

November is a wetter month in Athens. Showers are part of the deal, not a spoiled surprise.

Waterproof shoes matter more than a rain plan for a beach, especially if a beach is not why you came. Build indoor hours into the afternoon.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack

  • Rain jacket

  • A layer for cooler evenings
