Beautiful in fall and spring, mid 70's F. Winter is fairly mild, and we lived in the northern suburb where it snowed every February. Summers are very hot, 90's F. The Embassy has a swimming pool, for a fee, and there are many beaches to cool off at. The best time of year is August when all the Greeks travel so driving through Athens is finally decent. - Sep 2013
