Rhodes, Greece has high levels of pollen in the air during certain times of the year. This causes allergies in people sensitive to pollen.
Pollen seasons in Rhodes typically start in February with tree pollen, mainly from olive and cypress trees. This season lasts until May.
From May to August, grass pollen is present, causing more allergic reactions. The counts are highest during this period.
In September and October, weed pollen takes over, marking the end of the pollen season in Rhodes.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
