In late May and early June the weather in Greece is usually close to perfect: The sky is cloudless, the air is warm, and the Mediterranean has lost its winter chill. This is also a time when the new season’s tomatoes and peaches begin to appear. Few places in the world have fruit that is quite so super-saturated with flavor. Travel in Greece offers an irresistible combination of simple and immediate pleasures with a universal sense of a unique and ancient civilization. This itinerary introduces travelers to cultural highlights — in Athens, Epidaurus and Mycenae — as well as to the ravishing beauty of the Aegean Islands.
