Greek summers can be very hot and humid, and though the islands benefit from the cooling sea breeze, the most pleasant time to visit is in the shoulder seasons from April to mid-June, and late-August to mid-October. On the larger, more popular islands, some tourist attractions stay open year round, though most are closed for the winter between October and April. The most famous summer event is the Hellenic festival which takes place between June and September and features dance, drama, music and much more in ancient, mostly open-air theatres.
