Mediterranean Temperatures, Destinations
and crowd avoidance
Temperatures
start to rise around April. As the table of gradual warmth is shown
to ascent below so do people begin to aggregate at the islands and antiquities
and other points of interest in Greece, Italy, Turkey and the Mediterranean.
If you would like to escape the masses you may follow the table below
and if not ... go to your heart's desire!
(In general ... keep to the South when the temperature
is low and go North when hot!)

Greek Islands and Destinations |
|
|
The
body of water dotted with islands that occupies the north-eastern
Mediterranean basin is a Greek archipelago called the Aegean Sea
that includes a group of islands, the
Cyclades
and the Dodecanese.
Because of its shape and the number of islands,
Greece gives the impression of being smaller than its actual area
(yeah, right -- like you would bypass Greece in real life), let's
head on out. |
Embarking on a Vacation to
the Mediterranean can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience (not to mention
that you need a vacation and so does your computer.;-))
|
| Some of the most popular island destinations
...
The
Cyclades are a diverse beautiful
set of islands to begin your vacation or sailing and almost always, yes,
you can see land. The name of this group of Islands was given by ancients
because of arrangement in circle (cyclus) around sacred island of
Delos;
on the South Aegean. Vacationing or sailing the
Cyclades is wonderful and what is most evident immediately is the diversity
of activities on shore. You can spend hours happily on shore touring, hiking,
shopping, walking, and, above all eating. There are restaurants everywhere
you go! The food is delicious and inexpensive. The people will be giving
you a wonderful opportunity to chat in your best Greek sign language. The
bottom line is that every part of the trip will fascinate you on land, at
sea and the weather is reciprocal
to good intentions.:-)
The
Dodecanese (named
after its 12 islands) are a Greek island group chiefly in s. e. Aegean Sea,
off Turkey. Island of the sun, the mountainous island of
Rhodes where the Colossus, one
of the Seven Wonders of the World, once stood. Rhodes lies in the Aegean
Sea, 12 miles (19 kilometers) off the coast of Turkey and belongs to Greece,
the largest and easternmost of the Dodecanese.
Because of the fragmented nature of the
country, air transportation is particularly suitable for Greece linking
the sparkling array of Greek islands large and small. The main international
airport is in
Athens, which is
well located as an intermediate stop for flights between Islands, Europe
and the Middle East.

Miles away
from Ordinary
There
are few countries where the meeting of land and sea creates such a complex
pattern of islands, inlets, gulfs and bays. The sea presses deep into
the land with hundreds of arms separated by the rocky spines of peninsulas,
and only a small, wedge-shaped portion is more than 50 miles (80 kilometers)
from the sea.
The contrasts between the deep blue
of sea and sky, the white of limestone crags and whitewashed buildings,
and the burnt-orange of tiled roofs contribute dramatically to what
strikes all visitors a quality of light that is unique.
