First snowfalls hit mountain regions of Central Greece

On October 28, 2026, the mountainous regions of Central Greece experienced their first significant snowfall of the season. The winter-like weather conditions affected various areas, including Mount Oiti, Mount Goulinas, and Kallidromos in the Fthiotida prefecture, as well as the Vardousia and Velouchi mountains in Evritania.

In addition to these peaks, snow was reported in the highlands of Boeotia, Fokida, and Evia. The early winter weather impacted several high-altitude villages, specifically Neochori, Stagia (Platanos), Nea Giannitsou, Pyrgos Ypatis, and Kastania. Local media outlets published images capturing the sudden transformation of these landscapes, which took on a wintry appearance uncharacteristic for late October.
