Actually all 3 islands have pretty epic nightlife from what I’ve heard! But yeah, Ios is supposed to be the best party place. Mykonos has Paradise Beach though, which I’ve heard great things about… you just like drink all day long and dance and stuff, sounds so cool. Basically the whole trip is going to be awesome haha I’m excited! :) Definitely let me know what date you end up booking and maybe I’ll be seeing you in July!

Europe’s summer is May-September, but the hottest months are June, July, and August. Anytime is a good time to be in Greece though! I just chose July because it’s peak season and it worked well with my time off work and whatnot. :) I’ll be arriving in Athens on July 1st (that’s when my London to Athens tour ends) so I’m hoping I’ll be able to meet up with some people on our GIH tour before it starts!

Yeah Kerstin I hear that July is the best time to go! I did a lot of research on the weather and everything and in the summertime, it’s sunny every day and hardly ever rains… sounds perfect to me haha. Plus the nightlife is apparently amazing so that’s something to look forward to as well! July 4th is a guaranteed departure, you should join us :)
