3. The climate
• The climate in Greece is typically Mediterranean: mild
and rainy winters, relatively warm and dry summers
and, generally, extended periods of sunshine
throughout most of the year.
• Το κλίμα της έχει σε γενικές γραμμές τα
χαρακτηριστικά του Μεσογειακού κλίματος, δηλαδή
ήπιους και βροχερούς χειμώνες, σχετικώς θερμά και
ξηρά καλοκαίρια και μεγάλη ηλιοφάνεια όλο σχεδόν
το χρόνο. Λεπτομερέστερα στις διάφορες περιοχές της
Ελλάδας παρουσιάζεται μια μεγάλη ποικιλία
κλιματικών τύπων, πάντα βέβαια μέσα στα πλαίσια
του Μεσογειακού κλίματος.
