What to expect from holidays in Greece

With the choice of basing yourself on the historic mainland or on one of the multitude of spectacular islands on offer, you are sure to easily find the perfect place to spend your holidays in Greece.  There are in fact over 70 islands with at least 100 people living on them, so whether you want a really quiet retreat or a big and brash lively resort the possibilities are endless. 

No matter where you end up, the summer season which runs mainly between May and October in Greece will usually ensure that you will be able to enjoy a hot and dry holiday.  It is not recommended though to travel in the winter months if you’re in search of the sunshine because the temperatures are very likely to plummet.  Many ferry services are available between the islands, meaning that it’s straight forward hopping from island to island if you fancy exploring still further.

Greece is also one of the best places around to find cheap holiday deals for single travellers who are looking to get themselves away.  Many places don’t charge under occupancy supplements which hinder single travellers so much in other destinations.  Many of the main tourist islands such as Rhodes, Crete, Corfu, Zante, Santorini and Skiathos (to name but a few) have a plethora of jaw-dropping, rugged scenery to enjoy with many beautiful bays on offer also.  

In Greece, you are certain to receive a warm and welcoming greeting from the friendly locals who will make you feel relaxed and able to forget all about your worries as you embrace their fascinating culture.  And despite the strong position of the euro against the pound, you will find holidays in Greece more affordable than you’re expecting as food and drink are both priced reasonably here, allowing you to make the most of your time away.
