Top Places to Visit & Best Things to Do in Greece in June 

Tourism Rate:  

Greece in June before the summer vacation arrives has a relatively small number of tourists, making it still a good time to travel to the hottest destinations. You can beat the crowds and heat of the tourist peak season in July and August and better enjoy its popular islands and explore its historical attractions.

The Representative of Greek Islands: Santorini

Santorini is often considered as one of the best tourist destinations in the world. On this island, you can enjoy the sun on the black beach called Perissa Beach. You will find that most houses in Santorini are built on cliffs formed by volcanic eruptions and painted blue and white, and coming to the island is like stepping into a fairy tale world. There are four towns in this island, one of which is called Oia. It has the “most beautiful sunset” in Greece. The town is also home to a variety of local restaurants, bars and nightclubs, where you can spend a colorful night.

The Representative of Greek Cities: Athens

As the capital of Greece, Athens is a must-see city for travelers, which has many attractions worth visiting. The Acropolis of Athens is the most spectacular sight in this city. It is a large temple complex, containing Parthenon Temple, Temple of Athena Nike, Artemis Brauronia, Erechtheion Temple, etc. Acropolis Museum and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus are also located here. In Athens, you can also go to visit the Temple of Zeus, Syntagma Square with Tomb of Unknown Soldier and Hellenic Parliament, National Archaeological Museum, and Ancient Agora, all of which will make your traveling worthwhile.
