Athens is the hottest (in climate) city of the Southeast of Europe, what do you think?

July 4th, 2009 by rose
  • the coldest temperatures registred in the principal cities of the Southeastern Europe:

    Sarajevo, Bosnia -30°
    Ljubljana, Slovenia -28°
    Zagrev, Croatia -27°
    Sofia, Bulgaria -27°
    Belgrade, Serbia -26°
    Skopje, FYR Macedonia -25°
    Istambul, Turkey -16°
    Podgorica, Montenegro -9°
    Tirana, Albania -8°
    Athens, Greece -5°


  • Well, being the most southern country on that list, and also a Mediterranean one, I would say Greece is the hottest. (And not only in climate... hehe) :)


  • Well, over the years of watching the weather report for South-Eastern Europe, I have to admit I have noticed that Sarajevo usually tends to be the coldest, and yes, Athens is usually the warmest of all the capital cities in the Balkans. That's quite normal when you consider the geographical positions of those cities and their altitude. By the way, that's Zagreb, not Zagrev.


  • Don't know where you're from, but that's not "FYR Macedonia", it's just Macedonia. Don't listen to Greeks, they are the only ones who call our country "Fyrom". How would they feel if someone called them FTROG (Former Turkish Republic of Greece)? Even the spell checker in MS Word doesn't recognize the word "Fyrom/Fyromian", but it does recognize the word Macedonia and Macedonian.


  • Tirana for sure


  • No it's rather Larisa or Agrinio...i agree with the lad below though that said that coastal regions may be cooler than others in the summer...


  • Please don't call Republic of Macedonia Fyrom, it's insulting. But, you can always call it only Macedonia.

  • I think your question doesn't really make sense, for many reasons. If you want us to tell you -5° is the highest temperature on your list we can, but I hope you already know that.

    1. The fact that a city has high temperatures in the winter doesn't mean it is warmer in the summer. Areas located on coasts tend to be warmer in the winter but cooler during the summer for example. It just is not as simple as you put it. You should look at average temperatures in all 12 months of the year.

    2. I don't know what your source is but I can guarantee it's definitely been below -5° in Athens before. However it's true that Greece can be considered the warmest country in the Balkans, it's all about being South of all the other ones.

    3. Are you talking about cities or capital cities? All the cities you've mentioned are capitals. In case you'd like to know, Athens is not the warmest city in Greece. Larissa for example (in central Greece) is generally warmer in the summer, while cities in southern Greece tend to be warmer in the winter (Kalamata for example).

    4. You forgot Cyrpus, which last time I checked is considered a European country. It is very warm and dry overall. You could check some Cypriot cities such as the capital Nicosia.

    (Oh and BTW Istanbul is spelt with an N).


  • I would say Southern Cyprus should be hotter than all. The reason being, I lived in Anamur, right across the island, all during my childhood and saw snow only after we moved to İstanbul.
