i get what you mean, but compared to the uk, greece in winter is paradise with the weather, i prefer it summer is way too hot but just having more sunshine than the constant gray skies of the uk is a treat
Snowed in Athens last winter.. pictures of the Acropolis online in the usual places. I was in Crete a few years ago in July and it was 38-40 degrees, but as wasn't working, it was fine.. was staying in the mountains so cooled down to 22-24 at night, so was fantastic to sit out in the dark. Longer car journeys weren't too pleasant though. Winter sun in cape town, but I wouldn't go in December as it's heaving with tourists and gets very windy, from personal experience.
