May 19 – 22, 2024: Peloponnese (3 nights)
May 22 – 24, 2024: Hydra Island (2 nights)
May offers some of the best weather of the year, and will have warmed sufficiently by the end of the month that it now feels like summer—with an average high of about 75°F, it's the perfect time for a beach vacation. There’s little chance of rain, with plenty of sunshine and clear blue skies. Your wardrobe will mostly be summer clothing, but be sure to pack a cold-weather item for the odd cool evening, and while traveling on the inter-island ferries.
It's good to note that the Meltemi winds blowing from the northern Aegean pick up strength at this time.
