The eagerly awaited summer season in Greece, a beloved tourist destination, is just around the corner, and excitement for what this year's offerings will bring in the land of gods and divine beaches is growing daily. Based on current facts, this destination is poised to be a top choice.
I Ideal Temperatures
While spring days have been marked by rain and cold weather in many places, this should not deter those planning to travel soon. According to temperature forecasts, this year's summer in Greece will be hotter than usual, but not unbearably so. Current weather predictions show temperatures already around 20 degrees Celsius, with a forecast of over 30 degrees in June, perfect for beach enjoyment. Additionally, the upcoming season is expected to have very few rainy days.
II Close to Collective Immunity
Vaccination efforts in Greece have been robust, ranking among the best in the European Union. The Greeks have taken collective immunity very seriously, aiming to be fully prepared for the start of the summer and become a "covid-free" destination. Plans suggest that by early June, they will have achieved collective immunity, with all hotel staff vaccinated before opening, ensuring a safe and comfortable stay for guests.
III Affordable Prices and Recommendations
The start of the season is traditionally known for low prices, and this year is no exception, with exceptionally low hotel prices offered by the Greeks. Travelend agency reports that a family package for seven days in June costs just 540 euros, an unprecedented offer. The agency recommends choosing June for the best value and to avoid crowds, as international tourists may face vaccination issues and only begin arriving in July.
The Greeks have tailored offerings specifically for Serbian tourists, including packages that only charge for food and utilities, making travel more affordable even with a tighter budget. However, these prices will not apply for peak season in August, when packages will be significantly more expensive.
Preseason
While the official tourist preseason begins on May 14th, for Serbian tourists, it will officially start on July 1st when hotels will open. The reason for this delay is to ensure that all hotel staff are vaccinated by the start of the season, as planned by the Greeks. Recommended destinations include the Holy Mountain (Mount Athos) and Artika, both historical gems.
This summer in Greece looks perfect! Ideal weather, great prices, and high vaccination rates make it a no-brainer for vacation. Who's joining me on the beach? Let's make the most of it before the crowds hit in August!
