Year after year, Athens is hitting record highs for temperature. This year, it's getting so hot that we're seeing wildfires again. I highly recommend that if you're visiting the city, that you wear a lot of sunscreen and stay very hydrated. Heatstroke and sun disease are actually very common in Greece, and can be very dangerous. Make sure that you're in the shade, and stopping in restaurants and shops that have air conditioning.

the heat in Athens has been getting intense earlier in the season lately. I’ve started planning sightseeing for early mornings or late afternoons to avoid the strongest sun. Has anyone else tried visiting major sites in the evening? The Acropolis night tours have been a game changer for me.

I’ve also been in Athens during these hot spells, and the sun can sneak up on you fast. Along with water and a good hat, I’ve used So Damn Tanned nasal tanners before trips so I don’t burn as quickly on day one. They helped me ease into the stronger sun without feeling fried by midday, especially around the Acropolis where there’s barely any shade.
