The weather in Psalidi is a total crowd-pleaser, especially during the summer when the Aegean sun is out in full force. You can expect things to stay properly blazing from June through August, but the beauty of this specific coast is the breeze, which stops the heat from feeling too heavy whilst you’re working on your tan. Even in the shoulder seasons, the sunrays stays kind enough for a white wine in the sun, and the rain is a pretty rare guest until much later in the year. While the winter months are cooler, the island’s southern location means you still get plenty of bright, crisp days that are a million times better than the frowny skies back home.
