GREEK ISLAND HOLIDAYS
Greece Summer Holidays ~ It's already warming up in Greece, the hotest of Greek island of Crete the Greek island of Santorini the Gay Greek island of Mykonos plus the lovely holiday island of Paros and the huge Greek island Naxos! Being of course southerly positioned Crete.. preparations are under way for the Holidays Greek summer holiday island hopping around the Greek Islands the best way to see Greece during the hot tourist season. Why would you choose Greece as your holiday destination? Greece is still relatively inexpensive considering it's now a full European member country. To experience the best of Greece, it's wise to go off the beaten track. The Greeks are naturally very friendly. You are accepted as a valued friend from the moment of meeting. Greece today is getting very expensive for a cheap holiday, with rooms starting from 50-70 euros per night, it may not work out at cheap as it once was. The Greek Islands are cooler than Crete making sleeping at night more bearable! Crete is a very dry hot island and gets very dusty in the height of the season, perfect for heat lovers! For those of you that feel the cold, a cardy is required in the evenings on the Greek Islands when the cool breeze begins. On Crete take a small fan to cool you down! Although you have waited all winter to obtain your holiday tan, the wise one's among you will use a higher factor sun cream during the extremely hot days, this will not make you tan less, it will actually make you tan more and avoid 3-4 days of not being able to sit in the sun at all! Perhaps you wish to go Greek Island hopping? An excellent idea! Travel by boat or plane is inexpensive and frequent in Greece and even in the height of the summer holiday season, you will always be able to find self catering accommodation or rooms for rent relatively easily! So go for it and see more of Greece The sea around the islands of Greece and Crete are usually very clean and clear, there are times of the year when jellyfish swim close to the beaches, so it's always worth checking before leaping into the sea! There are also times when black bin bags wash in with the tide, to see one such beach click here!
Here are a few links to typical Greek bars, Greek tavernas & photos of Greek scenery. More will be added as I tour Greece & Crete collecting great photos and making new Greek friends!

Looking to resettle in Greece or on Crete? Buying a house sometimes is easy with a good Greek estate agents helping you, you can buy businesses, bars, restaurants, houses new or old, renovated or derelect in the ancient villages of Greece. Crete has many ancient villages to renovate a house to your style or retain the fantastic Greek style. The Greek style of house is more rounded than the Cretan style of using local stone that can be half a metre thick! You can still buy land in Greece and on Crete, check the land can be built on first and there is local electricity than can be connected. Running water is always a problem both on Crete and in Greece, usually water is collected in large containers for the usual water shortage, so use your water wisely!
