Winter, from December to mid-March, is mild enough, although it is not as mild as the southernmost islands of Greece; in addition, it is rainy, especially in December, when 180 mm (7 in) of rain fall; during some years, the rains are particularly abundant. Sometimes, there may be outbreaks of cold air from the Balkan Peninsula, with some cold and windy days, and possible slight frosts at night.

Spring, from mid-March to May, is mild; the rains are quite frequent at the beginning, but then, they gradually become rarer, and sunny days become increasingly more frequent. May is a pleasant month, before the summer heat.

Summer, from June to August, is hot and sunny: the maximum temperature exceeds 30 °C (86 °F) with some frequency, and can reach 35/36 °C (95/97 °F), especially in July and August. Luckily, sea breezes blow, providing relief, at least when the heat is not excessive, and in any case, you can cool yourself in the sea. This part of Greece, overlooking the Ionian Sea, is outside of the area where the annoying but cooling Meltemi blows, so the sea is also warmer (see below).

Autumn, from September to November, is mild (and initially quite hot too) and rainy, with possible thunderstorms. In September, there can still be a lot of sunny days.

Best Time


The best time to go to Paxos for a beach holiday goes from June to August, although the weather is often good still in the first half of September.
If you want to go on excursions around the island, you can go from mid-April to mid-June in order to avoid the heat that can occur in high summer.
