Winds
(see table below) are moderate during
April, May and much of June. Usually at the end of June and particularly in
July, the chances increase of experiencing the famous "Meltemi" winds.
These winds blow ordinarily until early September at which point the wind
decreases to become moderate. The winds will vary.

of Greece to choose your
vacation spots and connect to your favorite destinations. Reflect on the kinds
of things you like to do on your trip and request feedback
