5 Reasons Why You Should Book an Early Summer Holiday
There are often serious cost savings to be had by booking a holiday in advance. Aside from the cost savings, there are other reasons why you should book an early summer holiday for you and your family.
1. Temperatures in May and June are usually warmer
For holidays in the Mediterranean, the early summer climate makes May and June ideal months to take an early summer holiday - whether you're travelling with or without kids.
Both May and June are considered to be a perfect time to explore and enjoy outdoor activities as the temperatures will be warm but not overly hot like the peak summer months.
2. Resorts are usually quiet which is ideal for preschool children
If you’re travelling with preschool children, early summer is the ideal time for a Mediterranean beach holiday. You will usually find that resorts and beaches are blissfully quiet, so you can have quality time with your little ones.
In Greece and Turkey, the weather is warm enough for swimming but mild enough for junior travellers to enjoy comfortable temperatures and make the most of the sun.
3. Enjoy a Mark Warner Activity Week
Some of our most popular specialised weekly programs run in the early summer months, allowing you to further develop your skills at a sport with our qualified coaches and instructors. This also gives you the chance to meet other fellow holiday-makers and participate in social evenings.

4. Exercise in the sun
If you’re planning on an active holiday, an early summer holiday allows you to exercise in the sun without having to worry about becoming quickly exhausted from the heat. Work on your fitness goals or enjoy tennis, mountain biking and road cycling outdoors so you can reap the benefits of fresh air and the calming sounds of the sea. We also offer free childcare from 2 years so younger guests can have fun too, while parents relax and recharge.
Better yet, our activities are included in the cost of your trip so you don’t need to worry about paying extra fees when you arrive at your destination.
5. Explore watersports you’ve not tried before
Holidays are a great time to try out new watersports you wouldn’t normally get the opportunity to experience at home. From sailing and windsurfing to kayaking, paddle boarding and rowing, we’re sure you’ll find a new hobby in our range of complementary watersports. We also offer foiling for the more experienced windsurfers and sailors at a number of our resorts. You can also hone your skills further with one of our accredited courses or one-to-one private tuition at an extra cost.
If you’re looking for an activity based under the water, we also work with local scuba diving schools at our Paleros, Aeolian Village, Lemnos, Kamari and Phokaia Beach Resorts. These offer a range of PADI and SSI (Scuba Schools International) certified courses and dives for adults and children from 10 years upwards, at an additional cost.
