Kato Gouves, Greece has high pollen counts during spring and summer. Olive, cypress, and pine trees are common allergy triggers.
Pollen season typically starts in March and lasts until May. During this time, pollen counts are highest in the morning and early evening.
In summer, grasses and weeds also release pollen, causing allergic reactions. This peaks in July and August, making summer a challenging time for people with pollen allergies.
Residents and visitors with pollen allergies should stay indoors during peak pollen hours, keep windows closed, and use air purifiers to reduce symptoms.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
