Have you thought about switching your July and August Summer holiday for a Spring holiday? We like to visit the Ionian every May with our family and here’s why we think it is the perfect time to visit….

• In May the islands and mainland Ionian coast are usually less crowded, flights can be cheaper, and villas tend to have good availability.

• The islands begin to come to life with tavernas and shops opening after Greek Easter and there is a nice energy in the air for the new season ahead.

• Day temperatures sit between 20 – 25 degrees, with evenings slightly cooler and night-time around 14 degrees; perfect for families like ours with young children.

• The Ionian is usually a blaze with spring colours and the cooler temperatures can allow for a more active day of walking, running, yoga and cycling.

• Sea temperatures are just about warm enough to take a dip and you often find you have the beach all to yourselves!!

If this appeals to you, we still have some fantastic properties available this May half term…
