Arta is a small city in the region of Epirus (West Greece) about 80 km south of Ioannina. It is located near the river Arahthos and has a historical bridge. Winters in Arta are very wet and mild to cool and summers are hot, humid with little rainfall against the winter. Snow is uncommon but not unheard of. Yearly mean temperature is at 17,2 C. Average yearly precipitation is at 1085 mm with 98 rainy days. The absolute high temperature ever recorded was 41 C and the absolute low temperature was -7,2 C.
Greece has to be the least climatically diverse country in the world. This is no different to 90% of Greek climates that have been put up here.
Hot dry summers, albeit humid. Cool wet winters. As expected. D+
This is not true. They aren 't the same. Look at my city and look Arta for example. Precipitation patterns are different at West and East country. And temperatures aren 't the same between North and South or East and West. Arta is the same as Corfu for example but not the same as Thessaloniki or Athens...

I don't know, but most Greek cities tend to have 28-33C highs in summer and 9-13C winter highs (with maximum rainfall in that season)...They all have this recurring pattern, albeit some cities may be wetter or drier.
I have yet to see an oceanic, continental or humid subtropical city in Greece.

As for the climate, A-. If winter temps were a little lower, more snow would fall in the winter and this climate would be in the A/A+ region. In general West Greece/Epirus has great climates.

Oceanic climates here? No. :P But other cities have continental influences. Ioannina for example isn 't a dry city even in summer. Serres isn 't wet in winter. Thessaloniki isn 't wet in witner too. In Thessaloniki and Serres the wettest months are May, November and December. The other are dry or normal. West country is much wetter in winter. Yes, West Greece has this pattern of weather (cool and really wet winters with dry but humid summers except Ioannina). East Greece has cooler winters than West and drier climate. In West Greece summers are hotter and more humid at the same latitude because in East blow NE winds. For example Limnos and Corfu are islands in the same latitude. Corfu is at the Ionian Sea (west country) and Limnos at the Aegean (east country). Limnos is drier and colder in winter and averages 5 days with snowfall while Corfu is milder but way wetter than Limnos and of course less snowy (it is uncommon). In summer high temperatures are about 2 C warmer in West.

I just checked out Lemnos. It's rather good for Greece.
Winters aren't that wet or cool. And summers aren't too hot.
