The weather in Santorini from April to October is bright and sunny,
but a sweater/jacket is advised as evenings often bring cooler temperatures.
The marvellous dry climate and unbroken sunshine create year around conditions
which are perfect for observation, photographs and videos under an extraordinary
variety of natural lights and colours. The weather of Santorini Greece looks
much the same as in most of the islands of the Cyclades: hot sunny summer and
dry winter with very little rainfalls.
The weather, Santorini during the
touristic season, from April to September, is bright and sunny. Only from September,
Santorini can have a very few cloudy days.
Some days, the weather is so
clear that even the mountains of the island of Crete, 70 nautical miles away,
can be seen. But that also depends of the humidity.

days.

of rain.
