If the goal of your vacation is the sea and a beach holiday, then it is best to go to the islands in Greece.
I’ll tell you about several places with clear seas, fairly deserted beaches and beautiful scenery around.
But first you need to decide on the time of rest and where in Greece to buy a plane ticket.
When to relax by the sea in Greece
It is better to go to Greece by sea before the collapse of European holidays.
If in June and July you can put up with the crowds at Moscow airports, then in August the majority of Europeans, with an average salary several times higher than the Russian one, go on mandatory vacation.
And they go not to their grandmothers in the village, but to the sea: to Spain, Italy, Greece and Croatia.
The consequences of this are not catastrophic, but they will pinch you painfully on the thigh - where the wallet is.
Prices for everything rise one and a half times.
Instead of August, choose the beginning, or even better, mid-September:
- sea is warm
- the weather is sunny
– prices are gradually decreasing
The only difference between September and August is that it gets dark faster outside.
But that's not a problem, is it?
When is the sea warm in Greece?
Already in June, the sea on the Greek islands warms up enough to swim.
Therefore, the recipe for “when to go to the sea in Greece” is simple: from June to the end of September.
Addition to this recipe: from July 20 to the end of August you will pay more for a beach holiday than at other times.
