Snow in Greece?

Day 24:
The weather forecast said rain...but the north wind made snow out of it! 15cm of it! So we had to spend a whole day in the tent waiting for better weather. Only in the evening the snowfall stopped and we could light a campfire to warm our frozen fingers a bit.

Day 25:
As there is no end of the cold in sight, we bought new warm blankets - NOW THE COLD CAN COME!!!!
Camping next to a small chapell with view over the whole valley! Nice! :-)

Day 26:
The snow has melted - finally! Even a few pomegranates survived the frost! Free vitamins and a big campfire in the evening!

Day 27:
Again 5-10cm of this white shit! And again a unwanted restday in the tent! But walking in the dirty wet snow beside the road is worse still...

Day 28:
The "coldest day of the year"! - and an icy north wind that chills you to the bone! Only at 3pm it finally stopped and the sun came out a bit - that's not how you imagine hiking and camping in Greece!
Camping at the beach with a nice bonfire! - Oh...would it only be 20 degrees warmer....

Day 29:
Sunshine and better weather in sight - Yippie!!!! Only 87km to go to Thessaloniki (which we will avoid because hiking is more fun in small villages than it is in big cities)
