Not sure how cold this part of Greece gets but I now know of two people growing mangos and other tropical fruits in my area of Northern CA. Our historic winters could get as low as the high teens F but it hasn’t been been below the high 20’s in about 10 years now, so plants that can survive mild frost like mangos, avocado, bananas, and many more are starting to pop up here and there.
I know climate change will cause lots of problems but I can’t help being a little excited about this aspect of it. I already planted an avocado and it is doing fine without any protection but I was thinking of planting a banana too. Not sure I want to gamble on mango yet, they’re a little more sensitive I believe.
