The climate of Peloponnese (Greece)
Peloponnese is a peninsula south of Greece’s mainland. The peninsula is separated from the mainland by the Gulf of Corinth and the Gulf of Aegina (Saronic Gulf). East from Peloponnese the Saronian islands are situated. The Ionian islands are situated south west of Pelopennesos. The city of Sparta situated on Peloponnese has played an important part in history since the Mycenaean period. The remains of the old city of Olympia can be found here as well. These remains are a Unesco world heritage site. Peloponnese has a Mediterranean climate with warm and dry summers and wet and mild winters. During the summer temperatures are around 30 degrees Celsius. Heat waves with temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius are not uncommon. In the higher regions in the north of Pelopennesos temperatures are much lower; chances of subzero temperatures are higher, just like wintry weather. In general the weather is much less pleasant here. The eastern part of the island is much drier than the western part.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
