Polichrono Weather

Naturally, a big feature of holidays in Polichrono is the climate. Summer temperatures of 30C – and sometimes more – make for a sizzling holiday under clear skies, with the heat relieved only by the seasonal breezes known locally as the meltemia. Mountain areas, however, are much cooler and even attract snow outside the summer months. On level ground, winters tend to be mild, with frost and snow a rarity. If it rains, it tends to be between November and March.

 

In Polichrono, the sun shines for an average of 3,000 hours a year. At 8.5 hours a day, tapping in to this resource among locals has become popular, with solar-heating panels increasingly in evidence. Note, though, that there's a marked difference in temperature as you head further north onto high ground, where temperatures can fall to freezing point in December and January.

 

For those who find the punishing summer temperatures just a little bit too much, a spring or autumn break could offer the best of both worlds: a beautiful, tranquil beach setting without the searing heat of July and August. Although winters in Polichrono average around 10 degrees, temperatures rise quite swiftly after that, from around 13 degrees in March to a very pleasant 23C in May, with about eight hours' sunshine a day. A holiday in Polichrono is perfect for anyone looking for a quiet off-season break with mild temperatures and blue skies.
