The best time to go to Samothrace is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, September, and early October.These months offer pleasant weather for exploring the island's natural beauty and archaeological sites without the peak summer crowds. You'll find temperatures that are comfortable for hiking to the waterfalls and dipping into the vathres (natural rock pools), typically ranging from the high teens to mid-20s Celsius.For those who enjoy a quieter experience, May and early June are particularly good. The island is lush from the spring rains, and the sea is warm enough for swimming. You'll have more space at the archaeological site of the Sanctuary of the Great Gods.September and early October are ideal for travellers who prefer slightly cooler temperatures and fewer tourists. The sea remains warm from the summer, making it superb for swimming, and the island maintains a relaxed pace.
