Chios has an excellent, mild Mediterranean climate, characterised by long sunshine all year round, small seasonal changes in temperatures and lack of extreme weather phenomena in winter or summer.

In Spring temperatures fluctuate between 16 and 24 degrees Celsius. During the summer, the average temperatures fluctuate between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, while the “meltemi” winds mitigate the warm weather.

Autumn is long and mildly hot, with the average temperatures fluctuating between 13 and 20 degrees Celsius. The weather is usually suitable for activities like walking, but also for swimming too.

Winter is always mild in the Aegean Sea. The rain, even during winter, does not last for long and the sky clears quickly. Even in January, and the first half of February, sunny days are usual, a period known as “Halcyon Days” since antiquity.
