The first half of May is still relatively quiet in the Greek isles - certainly no major tourist crowds around yet! The islands are still very pretty and green -.a real photographer's dream, with the early summer flowers blooming, the bold and striking pinks of bougainvillea contrasting against the vivid blue and white of the traditional Greek village houses.
The lovely sunshine-all-day of the Mediterranean summer is well established by now; daytime temperatures are around early 80s - a great time for those who like to get out and be active, and go hike / bike and explore the hidden coves and tiny villages around our favourite Dodecanese islands!
The winds are usually light-to-medium, with the occasional strong blow at this time of year.
You can join this trip for either one week, or the full 2wk route. There is also a "combo" Greece-and-Turkey trip on these same dates.
