Cost words compare a published regional accommodation level with Greece's typical level, or describe a region's price season against its own year. The Cost score still uses Greece's price level on the Europe scale; where regional money levels are unavailable, a cheaper season does not establish which region has the cheapest rooms.

What goes into the scores?

Overall combines weather, crowds and cost. It is not a weather rating. By default, the list ranks weather first and shows Balanced Overall scores (50% weather, 30% crowds, 20% cost). Other priorities order it by your Overall mix. Missing cost is excluded and the available parts are reweighted.

Visitor season compares each region with its own year. A higher crowd score does not establish which place has fewer people in absolute terms. Regions cover whole statistical areas; open a guide for its geographic scope. Read the scoring method.

Ranges span available regional monthly averages, not daily extremes. A dash means a measurement is unavailable or withheld; individual guides explain the gaps.

What to bring.

Crete: afternoons around 69°F (21°C): light layers; nights around 56°F (14°C): a sweater and a light jacket. Western Macedonia: afternoons around 57°F (14°C): a sweater and a light jacket; nights around 41°F (5°C): a warm coat. Bring rain gear: about 9 days with at least 1 mm of rain.

Before you go

Check the trip details.

The visitor season

Off season, nationally.

November records 7% of August's overnight stays. This measures overnight demand, not queues or day-trippers.

Hotel prices

A little below usual.

−8% on Greece's historical national hotel-price index, versus its usual month in 2024–2025. This describes a price season, not a live room quote.

The national index cannot tell you which region has the cheapest rooms.

Thinking about the coast?

Check the water, too.

Among beach-focused regions, the warmest measured seas this month are Crete (70°F), Peloponnese (70°F), Western Greece (70°F). Sea temperature is one part of a beach trip; open a region for weather and seasonal closures.

Events & holiday dates Check the year against your trip

Holidays: 0% of people in Greece live where schools are out on a typical November 2026 day. (School holidays: OpenHolidays, ODbL, and the official calendars.)

How we know Sources, scope & limitations

Each row is a statistical region (NUTS 2); open it for the full month, the sources and what moving your dates would change. National lines are built from the regions: season is Greece's total tourist nights this month against its busiest month (Eurostat, primarily 2024–2025; earlier published years where needed); weather counts regions whose displayed Weather score is at least 7.0/10 (very good or better) rather than averaging across the country; visitors ranks overnight visitors per resident against all Europe's regions (for a region) or the other countries (for Greece) that month.

A regional accommodation level is shown only where publishable money data exists; elsewhere the cost words describe a regional season against its own year, and the score starts from the national price level. Separately, Greece's 2024 restaurants-and-hotels level is below EU average (86 where the EU average is 100). Full method.
