The weather in Tholos is pretty much a dream for anyone who hates rain and loves a bit of Vitamin D. During the peak summer months, you’re looking at blue skies for days and temperatures that stay consistently high, though the "Meltemi" wind acts like a giant natural fan to keep things from getting too sticky.

In the shoulder seasons, the weather stays remarkably pleasant. You can easily get away with a t-shirt during the day well into the later months, though you might want a light jacket for those evening walks to the taverna. Winter is short and sweet, never getting truly freezing but providing a nice much-needed break from the frost back home.
