Hi and welcome to my Greek summers web page. Let me begin by telling you that summers are one thing that all Greek people look forward to. Greece, and especially the Greek islands take a whole new color in the summer. The sea is deep blue, and inviting, and the weather is perfect. It is ALWAYS sunny and the temperature hardly ever drops below the 30's (Celsius). The people are always friendly as is characteristic of all Greek people, so that guarantees a lot of comfort and fun. But that is not what Greece is all about. Greece is about relaxing, taking it easy and not having to worry about ANYTHING.
 To get on with it, the capitol of Greece is Athens. It is a city with a great history behind it. The Acropolis is known worldwide and is considered as a truly magnificent spectacle by both Greeks and foreigners. Athens though is not all about history. The amount of clubs and bars is enormous, and even though I have lived there for over 10 years, I still have not seen all of it. Athens is also a very safe city, which is one of the reason why clubs are open till the early hours of dawn. There is also no drinking age imposed, which is just one of the reasons why Greece is a country in which it's citizens are truly FREE.

 The Greek islands are what make Greece special though. Literally thousands of people go to the islands in summer (especially teenagers) to have the time of their life. The summer lifestyle is set for teenagers... you wake up at about 4-5 in the afternoon, go for a quick dip, chill out and relax with your friends, go home around 8-9, relax some more with your friends, go out around 10-11 at night for coffee or beers at a bar with your friends... then go to a club around 2-3 in the morning and let the night take over. Anything goes in Greece. Nobody cares what you do or when you do it... you are free to do as you like whenever you like.
 The most popular islands are Mykonos, Paros and Santorini. If you ever visit Greece, these islands are a must to see. They are PACKED with kids having a great time. Everyone rents motorcycles and goes around the island finding desolate beaches to chill out and have some fun.As you can see by the photo ANYTHING goes in Mykono! Besides the partying which, believe me, is WILD, the islands are also naturally beautiful and carry a lot of the culture of Greece. Some of the beaches or cliffs are stunning in beauty and one can spend hours just gazing at the horizon. One way or another everyone has a great time in summer. It is amazing how much one can find to do in the islands. Each one is unique, allowing the visitors to experience a different feeling at each one. All the islands are worth it, I guarantee it, as long as you go with good company, and remember to leave your worries and mind at home. When you go to the islands, you go to have a good time! Enjoy.
