What is the best time to visit Lassi?

Lassi enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers and mild, green winters. Here is how the year looks:

  • Spring - The island is exploding with colour and temps sit in the glorious low 20s, making it prime time for walking into Argostoli without the summer heat.

  • Summer - It is proper scorchio with highs of 30°C+, bringing a lively buzz that fills the beach bars and makes those crystal-clear waters essential for cooling off.

  • Autumn - The sea remains warm enough for swimming well into October, but the pace slows down, offering a relaxed vibe perfect for couples.

  • Winter - Very quiet and local, with mild but wetter weather that shows off the island’s lush greenery—ideal for a peaceful retreat away from the crowds.
