Best Season To VISIT The best season to visit Santorini would be from May to October with hot dry summers and Mediterranean climate. Hottest month is August with temperatures ranging from 28-30 degrees. If you want some good deals and avoid crowds but still want it to be sunny you can choose the season from March to May which is somewhat off peak season. Thinking of staying at this hotel?
