November sits at the tail end of Santorini's tourist season — still mild by northern European standards, but with the island's seasonal infrastructure closing down around you as the month goes on.
Weather
Daytime highs typically run 17–19°C, cooling steadily through the month, with rainfall picking up compared to October. Still genuinely pleasant for sightseeing and walking, though not remotely swimming weather for most visitors.
Crowds and what's open
Early November still has a reasonable amount open, carrying over from October's later shoulder season, but closures accelerate through the month — caldera-view hotels, beach clubs and many restaurants wind down for winter, with a good number closed entirely by late November. Confirm specific businesses are still operating before building a trip around them, especially later in the month.
Getting around
Ferry and flight schedules thin out compared to summer — check getting to Santorini for what's actually running on your dates rather than assuming summer-level frequency.
Our verdict
Early November can be a genuinely good quiet-season window; late November starts to resemble deep winter in terms of what's actually open. Worth checking specific dates and business closures carefully before committing.
