The southern and central portions of the country of the traditional Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The continental climate of northern Greece is marked by colder winters.
Snow is common in the mountains, like Vancouver.
Greece is one of the world's most seismically active countries. Fortunately, most Greek earthquakes are relatively mild but there is always the potential for more severe seismic activity.
There have been many earthquakes in Greece in the past few years, including major quakes on or near Crete, Rhodes, the Peloponnese, Karpathos, and elsewhere in Greece. Crete was struck by a strong quake, originally measured as a 6.2 but later estimated at 5.9, on April Fool's Day, 2011.
However, Greece has extremely beautiful scenery...
That's why every year people love to travel to Greece.
