Even if you\u2019re craving more active activities, Greece in August features an abundance of fun, including water sports like snorkelling, kite surfing, sailing, and more, when the sea is at its warmest. It\u2019s the peak season for travellers to Greece, and the islands have become a hotbed of tourism, but it\u2019s still worth visiting and getting a slice of that summer sun for yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This blog will focus on the Greek islands. If you\u2019re there in the height of summer, you might as well take advantage of the Mediterranean waters&#8217; amazing temperature and the accessibility that comes with summer. Many Greek islands close shops and restaurants during the off-season, and even ferries and buses have become more limited. Take advantage of peak season\u2019s liveliness and feel comfortable knowing everything will be open and available for you to experience.<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509035681059{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509350069266{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;post-cta&#8221;]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Planning to Visit Greece?<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<p>Designer Journeys&#8217; network of in-destination Local Designers will use their expert knowledge, local insight and travel planning skills to design your ultimate Greece experience.

August is one of the hottest months of the year, but with the heat, you reap the benefits of days filled with glorious sunshine &#8211; an average of over 11 hours per day, in fact! You\u2019ll experience average temperatures in the high 20s to low 30s every day and will likely see temperatures reaching even the high 30s. What that means for you is that you\u2019ll want to keep nice and hydrated and pack lots of sunscreen, light and lose clothing, and a trusty hat!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you take to the Greek islands for a true summer beach holiday, know you\u2019re facing the busiest travel season in Greece. Islands will be busy and booked far in advance, so plan ahead to take advantage of the beautiful summer weather. Prices increase with the influx of tourists, too! Greece in August is still a great choice, with plenty to do and see and many lesser-known destinations ready and waiting to provide the trip of a lifetime.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to Know Before You Go<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The currency used in Greece is the Euro. At the time of writing, $1 USD is equivalent to \u20ac0.93.<\/li>\r\n<li>Greece follows the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schengenvisainfo.com\/\">Schengen visa<\/a> agreement. A Schengen visa is a short-stay visa allowing visitors to enter the country for 90 days in any 180-day period. Depending on your citizenship, you may enter Greece freely without applying, while some citizenships require an application.<\/li>\r\n<li>Have cash on hand as ATMs are few and far between, and card payments aren\u2019t always available.<\/li>\r\n<li>Pack comfy footwear and leave the high heels behind. It\u2019s forbidden to wear high heels at archaeological sites due to the damage they\u2019ve caused in the past.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Travelling to Greece in August is popular!

I\u2019ve always got to have music on, and dancing while I write is what I\u2019m all about.
