When is the best time to visit Evia? The short answer: from late May to early October, with June and September being our favourite months. But every season has something to offer. Here is a month-by-month guide to help you choose the right dates for your stay at Norte Luxury Villas in Agioi Apostoloi. Temperatures below are typical values and can vary from year to year.
April: green landscapes and Easter
The countryside is green and full of wild flowers, and Greek Easter (often in April) is a wonderful time to experience local traditions. Days are mild, but the sea is still cool for swimming, so ask us about heating your private pool.
May: the season begins
Pleasant days in the mid-20s °C, quiet beaches and lower prices. Brave swimmers start to enjoy the sea, and a heated pool makes villa days very comfortable. Perfect for couples and walkers.
June: our top pick
Long, sunny days, warm air and a sea that is warm enough for everyone, without the peak-season crowds. Ideal for families with young children who are not yet tied to school holidays.
July and August: peak summer
The hottest months, with afternoon highs often above 30 °C and the warmest sea of the year. This is when Greek families head to the coast, village festivals take place (including summer celebrations in Petries and Agioi Apostoloi) and the tavernas are at their liveliest. The east coast of Evia can be breezy on some days thanks to the summer meltemi wind, which keeps the heat pleasant and delights windsurfers. Book early for these months: they fill up first.
September: the locals’ favourite
The sea is still warm after the summer, the air is softer and the beaches empty out after the Greek school holidays. September is perfect for couples, friends and anyone who wants summer without the crowds.
October: late-summer calm
Warm days are still common, especially in the first half of the month, and swimming is possible on sunny days. It is a lovely time for hiking, exploring villages and long lunches by the sea. A heated pool is a great extra in October.
November to March: off season
Winter in Evia is mild compared with northern Europe but rainier and quieter, and many beach tavernas close. It is a time for nature walks, mountain villages and peaceful getaways rather than beach holidays.
