And it’s not too early. In May, summer begins in Greece. It’s the least windy month on the island.
By then, the air warms up to +25°C, and the water reaches +20°C. The daylight lasts around 14 hours, giving you plenty of time to sunbathe, soak in the atmosphere of historic towns, or embark on a vibrant adventure straight out of a Homeric tale.
WHY GREECE
- The perfect place for family vacations. Dive into the sea waves from an inflatable mattress, learn a new craft together, explore traditions, taste dishes from different regions, or pick a favourite mythical character and hunt for their traces.
- The choice of Europeans. Summer vacations in Greece are a must for many Brits and Germans. They’ve been coming here year after year, generation after generation. So, expect the level of service to be just as high — one that keeps you coming back.
- A Rational Budget. Many hotels in Crete are transitioning from HB or BB* formats to All Inclusive, covering all the essential expenses. Let’s agree — it’s much easier to plan your budget this way and choose a hotel in a comfortable price range. Plus, prices on the island aren’t very different from those at other European resorts, especially for food. And here’s a bonus: most dishes come in such generous portions that they can easily be shared between two people.
- The Greek Diet. Crete has such a well-developed gastronomic culture that it’s already been designated as the Gastronomic Region of Europe 2026. So, the most delicious family dinners are guaranteed every day, and no one from “your group” needs to fuss around the kitchen.
- Vibe like a local. It’s everywhere: in boutique hotels and cosy taverns run by the same family for decades, where owners often personally prepare gyros or moussaka and treat guests to local wine; in carefree strolls through mountain villages; and in morning swims after a cup of strong Greek coffee paired with kataifi or halva.
- Welcome to a life without rush, excessive stress, or anxiety. "Siga-siga" is the philosophy of Greeks and Cypriots, reminding us that life isn’t about a race to achieve something but a journey where every step should be enjoyed. It seems like all of us could use a little bit of this mindset.
*Meal plans: BB – breakfast only, HB – breakfast and dinner
So, is it decided? Let’s plan a summer trip with the kids and grandparents to experience some siga-siga in Greece!
