Where does it snow in Greece?

Answer 1

Athens like most of southern Europe has a Mediterranean climate with long hot dry summers and mild rainy winters. Athens lies at the far south of the Balkan peninsula and has a typical Mediterranean climate, In winter it rains but occasionally cold air can descend over the area from Eastern Europe or Russia, when this occurs it can become cold enough to snow, snow itself is uncommon in Athens but it does occur every 2 or 3 years and it is often heavy enough to cause disruption to a city not used to such conditions. It is often surprising to know that other cities even further south than Athens get snow. Snow falls in Amman in Jordan and Jerusalem in Israel usually every winter.

Answer 2

It can snow just about anywhere in Greece during the winter. But snowfall is most common in areas of Northern Greece (Macedonia, Thrace, and parts of Epirus) as well as the mountains.
