Miaoulia Festival
Held during the last week of June on the Argo-Saronic island of Hydra, the Miaoulia Festival is named after War of Independence hero, Admiral Andres Miaoulis.
Today's events showcase everything from traditional dance and ballet to circus acts. You can also expect street parades and art shows.
Go Island hopping and explore the beaches
With the weather in Greece in June being wonderfully warm — and warmer still on the southern islands — it’s a great month for island hopping and beach exploration.
Corfu, Rhodes, Santorini... the most beautiful Greek islands are waiting to be discovered by you. At the beginning of summer, you’ll find all the ferry schedules up and running.
Enjoy the great outdoors
Being warm, but not prohibitively scorching, June is a good time to visit Greece for adventure sports.
You can take your pick from trekking, rock climbing, mountaineering, biking, canyoning, snorkeling, and kayaking. Our recommendation is to explore the Samaria Gorge in Crete or the Vikos Gorge in the Zagori region.
