🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES May Conditions: Expect glorious spring weather with daytime highs of +24°C to +28°C and evenings around +16°C. The sun is surprisingly strong; even at +28°C, the marble of the Acropolis acts like a heat mirror. Clothing Advice: Daytime: Light cotton or linen clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and high-SPF sunscreen are mandatory. Evening: A light jacket or hoodie is needed for breezy dinners at Flisvos Marina or Plaka. Footwear: Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip; the ancient stones are polished smooth and can be very slippery.
