ClimateEdit
Cholargos, as most of Attica, features a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Because of its location at the base of mountain Hymettus, Cholargos is strongly influenced by cold air masses that travel down the mountain, hence it is cooler that most of Athens, like downtown Athens or seaside locations.
