June is a like a dress rehearsal for what dedicated summer lovers consider the most beloved and eagerly awaited time of the year – vacation time. Bathed in light and warmth, carefree and optimistic, June brightly declares that the seemingly endless icy months are officially over, a distant memory. And it demands, without excuses or hesitation, that we travel at every opportunity.
June boldly and ebulliently presents the best reasons for taking as many excursions as possible, able to easily convince even the most hesitant. Temperatures that quickly rocket to record highs, delightfully long days, schools closing, exams ending, beaches twinkling in the sunlight with welcoming waters, and the long weekend of Pentecost (June 22-24) tempting us with both nearby and far-flung escapes.
Let’s take inspiration from those who need no convincing to instantly and openly answer June’s call. Those who are eager to enjoy every moment of Greece’s enchanting destinations brimming with summer light, colors, flavors, and unique experiences from beginning to end.
* Travel Diaries is your monthly passport to the enchanting corners of Greece currently basking in the spotlight. Each month, we uncover the hidden gems and vibrant hotspots that are defining Greek travel, bringing you insider tips, must-do activities, and handpicked accommodations that promise an unforgettable stay.
