The climate in Greece is predominantly Mediterranean, characterized by long, hot, and sunny days, typically lasting from April through to the end of September. Evenings are often pleasant and warm during this period. The water remains warm until mid-November, but the rainy season typically begins in mid-October. However, it's worth noting that Mykonos, especially the northern part of the island, can experience strong winds during the spring and summer months, which can lead to slightly cooler temperatures.

In Greece, there's an offshore hotspot catering to every whim and fancy, surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Aegean and Ionian Seas, enticing you to dive right in. Relax on the white-sand Tigaki Beach in north Kos, explore the Roman ruins in Rhodes' medieval interior, or enjoy cocktails at the edge of one of Santorini's luxurious white-washed clifftop hotels. Experience the jet-set lifestyle on Corfu with its speedboat-loving crowds, or indulge in chic twilight parties on Mykonos.

For those seeking adventure, the Corfu Trail offers a perfect ramble after enjoying a big fat Greek mezze, while chartering a yacht for a sunset sail with post-archaeological aperitifs is pure bliss on Mykonos. Crete offers a slower pace of life, with ancient streets echoing the Minoan civilization and the legendary Palace of Knossos ruins attracting visitors from afar. Seek out relaxation at Kos' Therme Beach, known for its healing hot water springs, or enjoy a night of dining on Armeni Bay after a speedboat ride from Santorini.

On the Greek mainland, discover sweeping coastlines and delightful villages full of character. Halkidiki, with its three peninsulas and beautiful beaches, exudes an island feel, boasting stylish hotels like the Sani Club. Messinia in the scenic southwest Peloponnese offers crumbling castles, unspoiled coves, and valleys dotted with lakes and waterfalls.

Where is Greece?

Geographically, Greece is located on the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula, with its islands scattered across the eastern Mediterranean. To its left lies the Ionian Sea, while the Aegean Sea is on its right. Officially known as the Hellenic Republic, Greece boasts over 6,000 islands, with over 200 inhabited ones. Its coastline spans approximately 9,000 miles, with Mount Olympus standing as its highest point.

Getting around

Getting around Greece is relatively easy, with most islands featuring a main town housing the port for passenger ferries. Travel between islands is possible by boat or plane, and navigating within islands is convenient via bus, taxi, or rented car. Water taxis are also common, offering access to secluded coves, isolated beaches, and neighboring islands.

Explore the clear, warm waters and unique coral reefs surrounding the Greek Islands, offering prime diving opportunities. Chania on Crete boasts volcanic reefs and unusual marine life, while Mykonos' Paradise Point features exciting swim-throughs and extreme drop-offs. Santorini offers diving experiences on both sides of the island, revealing several wrecks. For snorkeling, we recommend exploring Afionas Beach on Corfu or enjoying the crystal-clear waters of Halkidiki.

Shopping

Indulge in shopping experiences across the Greek Islands, where quaint streets in traditional villages offer woven fabrics, pottery, and locally crafted jewelry. Mykonos stands out with its design-led boutiques and glamorous atmosphere, with Portside Chora hosting a labyrinth of stores featuring international brands alongside independent designers showcasing laid-back Mediterranean style and rich textures. Don't miss the chance to pick up hand-made leather sandals, gold jewelry, and resort wear.

Food & drink

Greek cuisine is a celebration of fresh and vibrant ingredients, with ripe cherry tomatoes, Santorini salad, and line-caught calamari being just a few highlights. Fresh seafood abounds on all the islands, whether enjoyed at local waterfront tavernas, straight from a fishing boat at 3 am, or in one of Mykonos' stylish restaurants. Experience romantic moonlit dining in secret caves, indulge in lobster and octopus caught before your eyes, or savor cliffside restaurants boasting Aegean Sea views and extensive wine lists in a country renowned for vinotourism.
