Weather at the moment
Weather all year round
Weather wise, Greece is the sun destination par excellence. In July and August, the heat is hot. It is milder from March to June, then from September to mid-November. There are still a few months of winter during which a light jacket is required or a ski suit in mountainous areas. Forget your umbrella in summer (precipitation is extremely rare), but in winter, it can be useful!

Budget
Greece is part of the euro zone. Despite untimely increases linked to the changeover to the euro, and then to the country's severe economic crisis, life is generally a little cheaper in Greece than in France. In general, restaurants, accommodation, fresh produce markets are significantly cheaper in Greece.
Theoretically, the service is included in the bill. It is customary to leave 5 to 10%
Health
No particular risk in Greece. No vaccination is mandatory, just make sure your vaccination record (Polio DT, etc.) is up to date. The health system has been affected by the crisis and it is recommended to seek treatment if possible in Athens. Tap water is declared potable everywhere, even on the islands
