weather in May

<< < (3/3)

tonyco1:
We have done may a few times - late may usually, odd day or two of rain in the two weeks,
I found it OK in the sea, pools were a bit cold - but manageable, depends what you can take - or call cold.
Quieter - but we loved it.

ann:
went last may never again freezing cold never stopped raining never chance may again.

Change of plan now for us. At the moment we are doing the house up[complete new kitchen April] and basically going to do the whole house up by christmas[carpets, sofa's, decor, furniture, the lot] and we have already gone over budget for new kitchen[like you do] so we can only afford one holiday plus weekend away London March[already booked and paid for] and a long weekend wherever October.

The apartments we wanted to stay at in SS[end of May] with change of flight because we much prefer morning flight on way out and early afternoon on way back meant we would have to pay an extra £300 so would have brought cost up to £1400 for flights/accomodation so all things considered we decided to look for somewhere else with a better deal, hubby wanted a change from Corfu anyway but the money situation twisted my arm so we are now going to Thassos[end  of May] to skala Panagia.
We got a brilliant/excellent deal with Thomsons with early morning flight included in the price, it was just too good of an opportunity to miss so we have booked it and are looking forward to trying somewhere new although I will miss SS this year we will return next year when the DIY is all complete.

Thassos looks very nice and very green just like Corfu and the resort is a very quiet place with plenty of taverna's. Plenty of walks for us to try out. Also looking forward to ferry trip[hydrofoil] from mainland to Thassos.

So no SS for us this year but will return next year.

Thassos is lovely, but weather very iffy outside of July and August.  Pretty much shuts up shop by beginning of September.  we say photos of deep snow - as they have bad winters.  my sister once went at the beginning of June and it rained for the whole week - but I hope you are lucky as the island is very Greek and friendly and the ferry over is just super.  Felt like Shirley Valentine! ;)

Hi Debra, Thassos does look very nice. Not too bothered by the weather, we are used to getting caught in storms/rain in Corfu. Obviously it would be much better if we get wall to wall sunshine but we are just looking forward to relaxing and good weather will be a bonus to us..
I suppose it could rain anywhere, when we went to SS in September 2008 we had alot of rain/thunderstorms and it was very cold on some days too, we had to go and buy a jacket each to try and keep warm.
