It’s the time for sailing, water sports and everything the Greek summer has to offer. Beach bars, elegant towns and seaside resorts for evening entertainment and shopping. Explore antiquities to your heart’s content and attend concerts and plays in ancient amphitheatres and castles from June through to September.

You’ll share the locals’ excitement at traditional church fairs and village festivals, and taste their foods. Greece in summer is an open-air fiesta: everyone’s welcome to join in the fun.

Unforgettable summer holidays - For three months Greece is perhaps the most enviable holiday destination on the planet. From June to the end of August it’s as if the country were transformed into a giant magnet, pulling in millions of people from all corners of the globe. Most visitors are searching for their own perfect beach, their own secret and unforgettable holiday spot. The Aegean islands rank highest on their lists, topped by Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes and Cos, followed by Paros, Amorgos, Milos and Ios.

But the Ionian islands have their fans too: cosmopolitan Corfu, Lefkas with its five-star beaches, Zakynthos and Paxi with their incomparable waters. And don’t forget Crete and its own famous beaches: Balos, Falasarna, Elafonisi, Vai of the palm forest. Beaches ring the Peloponnese – think of Voidokilia and Elafonissos. They stretch up the coastline of Epirus from Preveza to Parga and beyond, as well as up the east coast from Katerini to Platamona, while lining the ‘legs’ of Halkidiki. Beaches for every taste: sophisticated and fully organised, pristine and secluded, sandy or pebbly.
