When to rent a villa in Thessaly and Central Greece

Thessaly and Central Greece offer a warm and welcoming climate perfect for a villa holiday throughout much of the year. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are considered the best times to visit, with mild temperatures ranging from 15-25°C (59-77°F), ideal for exploring the region's beautiful countryside, beaches, and ancient sites. The spring season is particularly lovely, with wildflowers blooming and a gentle warmth in the air, while autumn brings a vibrant display of golden leaves and comfortable temperatures.

Summer (June to August) can be hot, especially towards the end of the month, with average highs reaching 30-35°C (86-95°F), but it's still an excellent time for beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts.
