Yes — you can usually get to a Greek property in winter, but how easy it is depends on where the property is located.
Here’s a clear, practical breakdown:
✅ Mainland Greece (easiest)
Best choice of location if winter access matters a lot
If your property is on the mainland:
- Access is easy all year-round
- International flights to Athens or Thessaloniki run all winter
- Roads, trains, buses operate normally
- Cities and towns stay fully open
✅ Large Greek islands (generally easy)
Very manageable for winter visits or long stays
These islands are well connected even in winter with year-round ferries and some winter flights (although less frequent)
- Crete
- Rhodes
- Corfu
- Kos
- Lesvos
⚠️ Smaller islands (possible but flexibile travel required)
For smaller or more remote islands, you can get there, but you need to be aware of:
- Ferries may only run a few times a week
- Flights often stop in winter
- Bad weather can delay or cancel ferries
🧭 Simple rule of thumb
-
Want easy winter access? → Mainland or large island are the easier options
-
Happy with quiet + flexibility? → Smaller islands are ideal
