What is the weather and sea temperature like in June on Sithonia?

In our opinion, June is an ideal month for a vacation on Sithonia, Halkidiki, and in Greece in general. The average sea temperature on Sithonia and Halkidiki is about 22 degrees, while the air temperature usually reaches around 30 degrees, and in the past few years it can even exceed 30 degrees, especially after June 15th.
What makes June ideal for a holiday are the fewer crowds on the beaches, as the season is just beginning, the clean sea after the winter break, and the beautiful color of the water. The sea temperatures are pleasant, not too warm, allowing for enjoyable swimming. During the day, there are usually about 10 sunny hours, which is quite enough for the beach, and the sun is not as intense as in the later summer months.
The Greek hosts are usually rested and in good spirits, as the season is just beginning.

It is important to note that the weather is unpredictable and one should be prepared for possible rainy days and cooler periods. We recommend bringing warmer clothing for evening walks when the temperature drops, as well as long-sleeved shirts and sneakers for daytime walks. Pajamas as well.
The wind in June is not as warm as in August, so one should also prepare for that. On average, there are 6 rainy days in June, but the number can vary from year to year.

What is the weather like on Sithonia (Halkidiki) in September?

In September, the weather is still warm, as is the sea. The average sea temperature on Sithonia is 23 degrees, and the air temperature is 28 degrees, dropping to 17 degrees at night. In September, there is slightly more wind than in June and July. The air and sea temperatures increase from year to year, so now the period until September 10th is practically still in full season and accommodations are still almost completely full.

The first half of September is usually rain-free, and as the month progresses, the wind decreases. September is a favorite period for many tourists because the sea is still warm, the air is warm, and there is not as much crowding for parking or staying on the beach or swimming. Rental prices are lower than in July and August, children have started school, so there is less noise on the beaches, and September is loved by those who want to enjoy a quieter vacation.

Of course, it is needless to mention that the weather can surprise and be colder than average and expected, so one should always have warmer clothing and sneakers with them in September and be prepared to spend a day in accommodation due to rain. The average number of rainy days in September is 4, and the number of sunny hours per day is 8. While the sea has the most beautiful colors in June, the sunsets are the most beautiful in September.

Vacation on Sithonia (Halkidiki) in October? What is the weather and sea temperature like in October on Sithonia?

October is an ideal period for people who love the sea, not necessarily just for swimming. In this month, weather conditions can vary; the beginning of October can bring perfect warm weather, but it can also be cooler. What is constant is that the sea in October is extremely calm and crystal clear. The intense smell of the sea and pine trees can be felt. There is no crowd.
The average air temperature is around 22 degrees, while the sea temperature is around 20 degrees. However, in the past few years, the “summer” has been extended, so even at the beginning of October, warmer weather can be felt, with temperatures reaching up to 30 degrees.
It is recommended to bring warmer clothing, especially for the evenings, as well as sneakers, light jackets, and long-sleeved shirts. The wind is not as warm as during the summer, so it can be colder after coming out of the sea. The number of sunny hours per day is 6, and the day lasts about 11 hours, which provides enough time for beach activities.

October is particularly attractive to true Greece enthusiasts who want to experience it when there are not many tourists. It is a time for walks along the sea, exploring local places and villages. It should be noted that some shops and restaurants will be closed, and the choice of accommodation will be limited. Swimming can be challenging due to changing weather conditions, but enjoying the clean beaches and sea is guaranteed.

Advantages include the opportunity to get to know the local population, quiet beaches, and more affordable prices.
