It is unnecessary to talk about what good resorts are in Greece. It is enough to know that Hellas receives about 4 dozen million tourists every year. A country with a majestic centuries-old history and rich cultural heritage, original cuisine is one of the ten most popular tourist destinations in the world. And the amazingly diverse nature, in which there was a place for 4 seas, and mountains, and colorful islands — already an attraction in itself.

The question "which resort is better in Greece" can confuse even an experienced traveler. The mainland and 1400 islands, even if only 224 of them are inhabited, form such a diverse image of Greece that you can come here again and again. And each time to discover unexplored colorful cities. 

The best time for a Greek vacation

Looking at the map, it is quite difficult to immediately decide which seaside resort in Greece to choose. The season here begins in May, the temperature and tourist peak falls on July and August. The best time to visit is May — June and September — October. So, June is equally well suited for sightseeing trips to Greece, and for relaxing on the coast. The air temperature is at around +30 °C, the sea warms up to +23 °C.

The warmest sea — on the islands of Crete and Rhodes, for family holidays — it's the best.

July and August — hottest days of the year. The thermometer shows +40 °C, the water in the sea — at +26 °C. However, the evenings are cool, around 20 °C, so keep long sleeves in your suitcase even in summer.

• Corfu. It's hard to find a better island for a holiday with small children. Dense green mountain slopes, shady olive groves, gentle waters of the Ionian Sea, golden coastline with comfortable beaches… In a word — paradise. The sea sinks into the depths slowly, giving children the opportunity to frolic in coastal waves, and soft golden sand beckons to build fortresses and castles. Take a tour to the Canal of Love, see the Throne of the Kaiser and Mount Pantokrator.
