Re: Summer Vacations
The best time to visit is anytime between April and October… June July August are very touristy… actually August is pretty good time to go to Athens… caz all Athenians leave for islands in August, and it is less crowded, and there’s plenty to do and see in Athens (at least a weeks’ worth).
We do go to Greece (roughly every other summer) and my favorite is the southern coast of Peleponisos (any thing from Kalamata to Nafpoli to Yethion) and I think from the island groups, I like the Cyclades – (the whitewashed houses and churches). but any island is good for me, I like the Aegean islands also. I love the Med.
My mother in law comes (she died a few years ago) from Volos (in Pelion, mainland Greece) and that’s also a very neat place to visit. Father in Law is Maniati (from Mani region) of the Peleponisos.
Greece is really a wonderful place to visit. I can never have enough of it. Lovely people, great food, great beaches. All around fun palce to visit.
