Where It Snows in Greece: Mountain Winters

Snow is a mountain affair in Greece. Key zones:

• Mount Olympus (Thessaly) – ski resort at 1,800 m.
• Western/Central Macedonia: Kaimaktsalan (Voras), Vigla (Pisoderi), Seli (Vermio).
• Epirus: Metsovo, Anilio, Zagorochoria villages.
• Peloponnese: Mainalo, Helmos (Kalavryta) – both have lifts.
• Central Greece: Parnassos (Arachova, Kelaria) – largest ski centre.
• Crete: Psiloritis (Ida) and Lefka Ori get occasional dustings.

Coastal cities (Athens, Thessaloniki) rarely see snow; when they do, it's disruptive headlines.
