🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect the "Goldilocks" zone of Mediterranean spring. Daytime temperatures hover between +24°C and +27°C—warm enough for light linen but not the scorching heat of July. Clothing: Breathable fabrics and very comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable (Athens' marble streets are notoriously slippery). Evening: After 20:30, the temperature dips to +17°C. Bring a light jacket or a stylish wrap for rooftop dinners. Sun Protection: Even in May, the sun on the Acropolis is intense. Wear a hat and SPF, especially between 11:00 and 16:00.
