Greece Holidays in June

Some parts of Greece reach their most comfortable warmth in June, while others are better explored later in the year.

• Crete: The Ionian island's warmest places in June are a joy to discover, and few spots capture the season quite like Gouvia, a lively bay on the north-east coast. Sheltered waters, a long sandy promenade and marina cafés soaking up the June sunshine make it ideal for families and couples alike. Expect daytime temperatures comfortably in the high twenties, with warm evenings that invite a slow stroll along the waterfront. It is exactly the brief our Crete holidays deals are built around.
• Rhodes: Rhodes is a dependable choice for warm June weather, with daytime conditions that stay pleasant for exploring the island at a steady pace. The east coast resorts see plenty of sunshine, and the short drive from the beach areas to the historic centre makes day trips easy. June is a good time to visit before the heaviest midsummer heat settles in, although we advise booking early as the island is popular with families.

• Corfu: Corfu is greener than many Greek islands and benefits from a gentler feel in June, with lush countryside and a pleasant sea breeze along its coasts. The island is a practical option for those flying directly from UK airports, which keeps travel time manageable. The west coast can feel more sheltered and the east coast more open, so we match guests to the side that best suits their plans. It is exactly the brief our Corfu holidays deals are built around.
• Athens: Athens can become very hot by June, so visiting in the morning or early evening is the sensible approach for seeing the ancient monuments. The city's central districts offer shade in places, and the neighbourhoods are most pleasant after the sun has dropped. Athens is a strong base for a city break, and the metro makes it simple to reach the coast or the port without a long drive. It is exactly the brief our Athens holidays deals are built around.
• Meteora: Meteora in central Greece is a good inland choice in June, where the monasteries sit high on rock pillars and the weather is generally pleasant for walking the stone steps. The area works as a day trip or overnight stay from the capital and suits visitors who want something different from the coast, the same brief our Greece Last Minute Holidays deals are built around. Because the monasteries have modest dress rules and set opening times, we advise planning your visit around those details and dressing appropriately.
