Greece

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.

Mykonos and Santorini

Its proximity to ancient Delos has made it the most popular island in the Cyclades. The most westerly of the Cyclades is Santorini, a volcanic island with its glamorous beauty associated with the misty tales of Atlantis.
