Αnd why do you care about Greece and not the UK?Is it bsc Greece has the warmest areas in Europe and makes the Iberian Peninsula look like Antarctica?
Dedalus27 or Italianboy (or whatever your multiple nicks are),wherever you go,I think you will have nightmares about Palaiohora,Ierapetra and Karpathos.

Here you can see how Greece has all the top spots in Europe after 170 days of data collection.
But I think you should also care about the UK and France bsc they beat Spain in everything in terms of warm climatology.Spain can not compete with the UK and French hotspots.
I would also include Anguilla,St.Martins and Monseratt so we can see how much warmer the UK and France is compared to the African Islands of Spain!What do you say?
Hi
I think that comparison is not really pertinent.
Ultramarine territories, ( such as Montserrat, etc...) shouldn´t be used and Macaronesia ( Azores, Canaries, Madeira on this case) are considered european by the CE, as you can see here: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/natura2000/sites_hab/biogeog_regions/index_en.htm
Caribbean ultramarine territories ( Tropical realm) are obviously not included on that list. But actually I have seen lots of habitats data and again while Macaronesia is used, Caribbean is NOT used.
Most Azores still lay on the European continental platform and Madeira/Canaries are much closer to Europe than those Caribbean islands.
Madeira and Azores when were found by Portuguese, were wild islands relativelly close, not stolen islands from tribal people or islands far on the other continents.
About the Antarctica joke, I think that we only have data about few places that have weather stations, so we can only say that one point is warmer than the other , we can´t really extrapolate by there, that one country is warmer than the other because of one city data or one point data.
Mostly when you look at Google Earth and see that Portugal, for example, hasn´t a single weather station on it´s warmest areas, right the opposite of Greece. Spain is a bit better than Portugal on this regard, because they have more weather stations, even relatively, but I doubt that they have as many weather stations as Greece on their warmer areas. So I think that´s too soon to say that one country is warmer than the other, we only can say that «y» place is possibly warmer than « x» place, basing on measurements or even on logic.
There´s no tangible evidence to prove that Iberia is «Antarctida» and Greece is «Africa».
I actually doubt that Greece is warmer than either Portugal or Spain, let alone call others « Antarctida».
