Greece

Best time to be there

The mainland and islands are very hot and dry in July and especially August, the preferred travel month for French, Italian and Spanish holiday makers, making conditions busy, hotel availability limited and the beaches crowded. May, June and September are infinitely more comfortable and generally less expensive.

Halkidiki

For a sense of Greece's rural identity, the unspoilt Halkidiki peninsula near Thessaloniki is definitely worth a visit. The imposing Temple of Poseidon crowns the spectacular promontory of Sounion, just 70 kilometres south of Athens, a wonderous place to watch the sunset or sunrise. The deep blue waters of the Saronic Gulf provide a stunning contrast to the lush greenery of Lagonissi.
