How warm is it in Santorini during July?

The temperature is extremely stable in July with average highs of 25℃ and lows just 1℃ lower at 24℃. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

Is it windy in Santorini during July?

Expect moderate breeze becoming stronger at times during July, with occasional gusts up to 25mph. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.

How warm is the sea in Santorini during July?

The hot air temperature and relatively high humidity will mean that you will feel comfortably warm when coming out of the water.
