It may sound obvious but the further south and east you go the better its likely to be. Rhodes is almost guaranteed from mid May. Most of Greece is OK from June although sea temps. are still quite low in the north.

Rhodes or Symi are probably your best best. Crete catches the wind a bit much for an early season "swelter" holiday (that said up until 3 June last year it had been in the 90s for a fortnight....it then turn to low 70s and dodgy - guess what day I arrived??! :roll: )

Thanx. Is Zante hot at end of May/June? So is my best bet Kos or Rhodes then?

Zante can be - but at this time of the year the Ionian can be "variable"!

thats why a hotel i looked at in tsilivi said it had air con from 14th of june. But in the brochures it has zante hotter than kos and rhodes but they always lie. so r u deffinately saying rhodes and kos will be hot? :D

You can't guarantee "hot", especially with climate change - the season in Greece is getting shorter, you used to be able to guarantee good weather from early May until mid October, but not any more. How "hot" are you looking for?

Could I just comment that there is a BIG difference between Early May and Late June!

Your post might get a more direct answer if you could specify your dates.

Also try http://www.wunderground.com/

Try typing in your destination and the dates for the same week in 2006 to get some idea as to last years weather. However, as other posters have suggested, Global Warming etc. etc.

If you're looking for guarantees there ar'nt any but on average the Dodecanese are a better bet than the Ionian for early and late season
