During these times, services and amenities are up and running, temperatures are balmy and crowds are thinner. While the Greek islands are stunning at any time of year, aim to visit between Orthodox Easter (usually April) and the end of May, or from September to mid-October.

When is the best time to go to the Greek islands? In Greece, getting there is an essential part of the adventure and, thankfully, island hopping is a breeze. There’s nothing quite like spotting the shoreline from a sun-drenched ferry deck or sailing into a vibrant port. From Jason and his adventuring Argonauts to Frankish Crusaders and Mamma Mia film crews, myth and enchantment envelop the islands much like their ribbons of sugar-soft sand. Scattered like pearls across the shimmering Aegean and Ionian seas, the Greek islands have lured in many travelers.
