Your November weather guide
Weather in Greece in November
November is a good month for Greece if you want mild weather for exploring rather than dependable beach days. Country averages of 18°C by day, 14°C at night and a 20°C sea make it more suited to days out with layers than a holiday spent swimming. The catch is rain and limited sunshine, so keep plans flexible. Crete and warmer options such as Lindos are better bets if warmth is your priority.

Sea temperature

November against the rest of the year in Greece
November is the 7th warmest month of the twelve in Greece. It is 4.2°C cooler than October and 3.7°C cooler in December. The hottest month here is August (29°C) and the coolest January (13°C).

- Warmest sea: Faliraki, 22°C.
- Hottest: Sissi, 20°C by day.
- Coolest (better for walking and cities): Thassos, 15°C.
What to pack for Greece in November
Based on the averages: light layers - warm in the sun, cooler in the shade; a light jumper for evenings (14°C at night); a rain jacket - roughly 9 wet days; swimwear if you do not mind a bracing 20°C sea.
Similar weather elsewhere in November
Within 1.5°C of Greece's November daytime average: Madeira (20°C, sea 21°C), Marmaris (20°C, sea 22°C), Seville (19°C), Costa de la Luz (19°C, sea 18°C), Alanya (19°C, sea 22°C). See the full ranking for November.
Where to go for warmer weather
Crete is a sensible starting point, with average daytime temperatures of 20°C. Sissi, Stalis and Hersonissos combine that warmth with 6 rainy days, compared with the country average of 9, making them useful choices if you want better odds of dry time outdoors. Elounda has the same daytime warmth and rain frequency, but slightly milder nights at 15°C. For warmer water, Kolymbia stands out at 22°C, while Lindos and Kiotari have a 21°C sea; all have 20°C daytime averages and 8 rainy days. Thassos is the coolest option at 14°C by day, so it is less suited to a trip focused on warmth.
Plan for mild days, cooler evenings and some rain
Pack light layers, a warmer top for evenings and a waterproof jacket rather than relying on summer clothes alone. The country average of 4.9 hours of sunshine leaves scope for pleasant outdoor time, but not a promise of sunshine throughout the day. With 9 rainy days on average, it helps to move outdoor plans around the forecast. A 20°C sea may suit travellers comfortable with cooler water, though swimming is better treated as an option than the purpose of the trip. Midday heat is not the main concern: even in Sissi, the hottest destination, only 8% of days exceed 25°C. This is mild-weather travel, not reliable summer warmth.
A little more detail
Greece in November FAQs
Plain answers, grounded in the averages.
Where is the hottest place in Greece in November?
Sissi is the warmest of the 44 places we track in Greece in November with an average high of 20.3°C; Thassos is the coolest at 14.5°C.
Is the sea warm in Greece in November?
Not really: the warmest sea we track in Greece in November is 21.6°C at Faliraki, below the 22°C most people find comfortable.
Is Greece warmer than London in November?
Yes. Greece averages 18°C by day, compared with London's 10°C. That makes it a reasonable choice for milder daytime weather, but the advantage is warmth rather than guaranteed sunshine. You should still pack for rain and cooler evenings.
Where is the sea warmest among the listed destinations?
Kolymbia has the warmest sea among the listed destinations at 22°C, followed by Kiotari and Lindos at 21°C. Those are better choices if swimming matters to you, although personal comfort in the water varies and daytime weather may not always encourage a swim.
Will I need a jacket in the evening?
A jacket or warmer layer is sensible. Greece averages 14°C at night, while Crete averages 13°C. Kiotari and Kolymbia are milder at 16°C, but even there, packing only light daytime clothing would leave little flexibility for evenings outdoors.
