Answer 4

Yasou Greek girl,The best place for an extended Summer is the Island of Crete(kriti). I have spent many Summers on Crete & the weather is good up to early November in many cases especially the south west of Crete a place called Vai. If Crete is hard to get to try Southern Peloponnese's. The further south the warmer it is.





Vai is famous for its palm forest located right on the beach. It is the largest palm forest in Crete and these palms are endemic Cretan palms (Phoenix theophrastii) and were not imported inadvertently by Saracene pirates eating dates (as some would like you to believe). This superb beach, discovered by a few hippies in the 70s became a favourite with long term campers in the 80s until it got turned into something of a rubbish dump by their carelessness. A sad but not uncommon story in Crete and elsewhere. Finally, it was declared a protected area, camping was forbidden, the beach got fenced off and entrance only allowed during day time. The beach is free but you will pay a parking fee if you come by car.

Getting there: there is a public bus from Sitia several times a day.



Atmosphere: Vai is one of the main tourist attractions of Crete so the place gets very busy with tour buses as well a many visitors in rented cars. Mass tourism in eastern Crete.



Accommodation: none. The nearest place to stay would be Palekastro.



Restaurants: there is only one taverna in Vai (apart from the beach snack bar) but despite it's monopoly the prices are fair and the food is good. And you have a nice view of the beach.



Beach: The beach of Vai is beautiful but nowadays it is entirely fenced off and covered in beach beds and umbrellas. This certainly reduces its charm, especially when you add the masses of visitors.



Itanos is located only two kilometers north of Vai and whilst it only has a few palms it has three pretty beaches and no crowds (altough during the high season there are times when the beach can get crowded by Vai visitors escaping the chaos there).

Itanos was an important Greco-Roman harbour and probably inhabited since Minoan times. The archaeological site is right along the beach.

A very beautiful corner of Crete but its days might be counted: a HUGE touristic project is planned just north of Itanos. So go and enjoy Itanos whilst you can, it might change very very soon.



                                  

                                   The climate of Crete

                                    July and August:

The high season! The weather is hot, very hot, too many tourists especially since the Greeks have "discovered" Crete as a holiday destination. You become a number in the crowd, prices are higher and you may have difficulties finding accommodation. The sea of course is wonderfully warm and if you search a little it is possible to find villages and beaches that remain fairly quiet.

                                September and October

These are better months as the weather is not as hot anymore. The sea is still really warm and there are far less tourists. The Cretans - especially the ones who work with tourism - although tired from the summer season are getting more relaxed. It is also one of the preferred period for hikers. One drawback is that as it has not rained for several months the nature is really dry.

                               November and December:

Tourism comes to an abrupt stop at the end of October with the end of charter flights. These months are as quiet as January and February but the chances of good weather are much higher. It is also still possible to swim. All in all not a bad time to be on Crete if you are prepared to risk some days of rain.



Hope this helps its one of the beautiful places on this Earth.Na perasis kala opou kai na pas.Kalo kalokari Gr.girl. For more information I have placed links below.

Answer 5

You will visit athens of course, and you can also make an excursion to Sounio, to see the temple of Poseidon and perhaps swim in that area too. You can go to Aegina, it takes an hour by ferry, ferries leave every hour from Piraeus, you can visit the temple of Afaia and again swim. If you can take the fast ferries (flying dolphin) you may also go to Hydra, Poros or Spetses on the same trip (one day or 2-day). If you decide to spend more days on that excursion you can also reach Monemvasia (Malvasia), that is wow! Just stay in a hotel in the castle.

Also, you can go to Nafplion, and visit Epidauros and Mycenae archaeological sites. It's only 2 hour drive from Athens, it's a very nice place and has warm sea, so you can probably swim there too.
