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!) |

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.
