Nice April-October, even if the lows in Spring and Autumn are a bit low..

As a winter lover i would love that, is probably the best climate you can get in the lowlands.
Could be still somewhat colder to me. However the summer is too hot, gets a C+ for that reason.

C. Basically the same climate of Bologna, Italy. Just slightly drier and more "continental".
Not bad but I prefer milder winters.
Northern Greece is notably colder than Italy at the same latitude.
