Hi there all you helpful VT people.
My husband and I are planning a holiday in Greece for May/June 1911, but as you can see, I start my planning and research early!
What is the temp. and rainfall like in Athens during May/June and also the rainfall? From Athens we plan to go to Nafplio, Mani, Diakofto and then north to Zagorohoria and Thessaloniki. Does the weather vary a lot from Athens to the north of Greece? We don't mind hot weather, as we are used to it here in South Africa, 29C - 35C every day in summer! Will we still get a lot of rainy days in May?
I know you guys are willing and able to help me with this. Thank you in advance.

Hi - impossible to predict accurately the weather so can only give you averages. Take a look at this site
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/country_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT003830
I did have lovely weather in Athens on a visit in May and in Crete in June.
By the way, I guess you are talking about 2011? :)
Have a great trip!
first of all you are a bit late, we are already 100 years ahead of 1911! :)
the weather will be great in may probably a bit hot in june but no more than the one you already used of.
as for rainfalls you may find some at Zagorohoria (Epirus region has a lot in general all year round) but you cant tell 3 months in advance :) The temperature has no big difference with Athens but it gets chilly during the evenings. You will love the area anyway.
Ooooh! Mistake! Haven't even been born in 1911!
Made a mistake again!!! You can see I'm not from the Computer Generation!
It's actually May/June 2012. Got it right this time.
Thanks again for the info on the weather, much appreciated.

Don't worry, I make mistakes like that all the time. Any more questions ? We'll do our best to help you get there in the right year. Happy travels.
Starting at the foot of the Acropolis, the old area of Plaka is a maze of narrow, cobble-stoned, medieval streets that twist through ancient sites, tourist-packed squares and lovely Byzantine courtyards. The best way to explore it is simply to get lost among its enchanting passages. The most beautiful section of Plaka is Anafiotika, a cluster of Cycladic-island-style houses at the very base of the Acropolis.
In a city that never sleeps a cosy small cafe or a deluxe restaurant is always ready to refresh the traveller who just had a long walk throught almost 2500 years of history just in Athens downtown.
Acropolis of Athens build 450-330 B.C
Thission cozy cafes build 20th century A.D. Sunlight, the parks -beautyful small spots of trees and flowers surrounding Acropolis hill.

The plain, neoclassical buildiing which is the Parliament of the Greeks today, was between 1834 - 1838 as the palace of the first kings. In front of the bulilding is the monument of the Unknown soldier, with the two guards, called "Evzoni" who are the presidential guards.
This is the Temple of Zeus with the Acopolis sitting in the distance. This location has a lot to offer. Arches and temples and Roman baths remains......
You can see stones with numbers on them which date so long ago. I stayed there for hours just trying to let the history sink in.
There was a location where they were excavating more ruins..........so I just watched them trying to be a part of it all....
