Greece is one of the favorite countries for Russian tourists. On the May holidays, you can safely go to rest at one of the Greek resorts, because at this time the beach season is already opening in the country. The Greek islands can be visited even earlier - at the end of April. Sea water warms up faster in this area than on the mainland.

Mainland Greece

Greece is famous not only for its beach resorts, but also for sightseeing tours that allow you to visit interesting sights. Therefore, the country can be visited all year round - hotels and hotels warmly welcome visitors all the time. Those wishing to enjoy not only the views, but also swim in the warm sea, are recommended to come here in mid-May. At this time, the water temperature warms up to 22-24 degrees.

Those wishing to swim in the warm sea are better off waiting for June - at this time the water warms up well. But this month the air temperature can reach 40 degrees, which usually adversely affects young children and the elderly. In May, the temperature fluctuates around 29-33 degrees, which is quite tolerable. Therefore, May is considered the month in which it is customary to visit historical sites, see sights, because the weather in Greece will not cause significant inconvenience. However, it is worth remembering that the temperature of the central part of Greece can be higher than the temperature on the coast. Consider this fact when planning your trip.

At the end of April, the organization of charter flights to Greece begins. To save money, experienced tourists are advised to purchase a ticket for a regular flight in advance. After landing in Greece, you can book a taxi to get to your destination.

Weather in the islands of Greece in May

On islands such as Corfu, Rhodes, Santorini, Crete and nearby, you can relax from mid-April. Here the sea warms up faster, not only because of the peculiarities of its geographical location, but also because it is shallow. In May, you can safely sunbathe on the Cote d'Azur and swim in the sea. Also at this time, bushes and trees begin to bloom on the islands, so the landscapes promise to be especially beautiful.

May is the perfect time for families with children on the Greek islands. Warm sea water will only strengthen and heal the child's body.

Crete is the most numerous and noisiest. The service sector is well developed here, you can find housing in different price ranges. Rhodes, Santorini, Corfu are small islands with well-developed infrastructure. But the smaller the island, the more expensive your vacation will be. Nevertheless, these islands will delight you with their extraordinary views. There are also fewer tourists here, so they are suitable for lovers of a relaxing holiday.
