STAjets Travel Guide | The Greek Islands

STAjets Travel Guide | The Greek Islands

 

According to Travel and Leisure, it’s time to start planning that trip to Greece! The Greek Islands are a popular destination early Summer as the local weather is considered ideal there during that time of year. Although its high season, you’ll have more ferry routes, open restaurants and beach bars to choose from. Each island group has its own weather to look into—Crete is warmest year-round, so a great choice for late fall or winter—and while some islands, such as Hydra, are full of locals and see tourists year-round, others, such as Santorini, get very quiet come winter.

So, as the weather heats up and tropical vacations become top of mind, book your flights to and from your desired destinations with STAjets. Ready to serve you anywhere, anytime, worldwide.
