Weather in Agistri in November
In Agistri, November brings late-autumn weather that is mild and fairly changeable. Average highs reach 19°C / 66°F, with lows of around 12°C / 53°F. In the water, expect around 20°C / 68°F, refreshing for some, but too cool for most. There are typically 5 rainy days, with around 66 mm of rain in total. The heat eases, and the sea stays warm long after the summer crowds have gone. Agistri's pine forests give welcome shade and keep the island greener than most in the Saronic Gulf.

The light is softer than in summer, which makes it a lovely time for photos and walks. The weather can change from one week to the next, so pack for both warm and cool days. Make the most of the middle of the day, when it's warmest and brightest.
