West Greece is one of the thirteen peripheries of Greece. It is divided into the prefectures of Achaea, Aetolia-Acarnania and Elis.
Its climate has hot summers and mild winters. Sunny days dominate during the summer months in areas within the beaches and partially cloudy and rainy in the mountains. Snow is very common during the winter in the mountains of Erymanthus, Panachaicus and Aroania. Winter high temperatures are around the 10°C mark throughout the low lying areas.
