The warm waters of August draw visitors to Paradise Beach in Mykonos Red Beach in Santorini and Kolympithres Beach in Paros. The sea temperature reaches 75°F (24°C) making it comfortable for swimming and water activities. Paradise Beach Resort hosts regular beach gatherings. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The beaches in August were perfect - especially loved Naxos' golden sand beaches and the crystal clear waters at Mykonos' Paradise Beach."
What dining experiences shouldn't be missed in the Greek Islands during August?
The warm evenings of August create perfect conditions for outdoor meals at waterfront restaurants. Visitors can find fresh catch at Amoudi Bay in Santorini Greek classics in Mykonos' Little Venice and wine selections at Naoussa harbor in Paros. Far Out Hotel in Ios and President Hotel in Athens provide elevated dining spots. A TourRadar traveler recommended: "The seafood restaurants along Santorini's caldera were amazing in August - dining outside watching the sunset was magical."
What are the best day trips and excursions available in August?
The clear August weather sets the stage for boat trips around Santorini's Caldera (160 EUR) visits to Ancient Delos from Mykonos (55 EUR) and quick trips from Paros to Antiparos. The Acropolis Hill Hotel serves as a convenient starting point for Athens explorations. As shared by a TourRadar traveler: "The sunset cruise in Santorini was the highlight of our August trip - swimming in the hot springs and watching the sunset was incredible."
What special events and festivals happen in the Greek Islands during August?
Cultural celebrations fill the August calendar. The Santorini International Music Festival brings outdoor performances to the Oia Cultural Centre. August 15th marks the Feast of the Assumption celebrated across the islands with music dancing and food particularly in Paros' Naoussa village. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We were lucky to experience the August 15th festival in Paros - the whole island came alive with music and dancing in the streets."
How crowded are the Greek Islands in August?
August brings the year's highest visitor numbers. Popular locations like Oia in Santorini and Little Venice in Mykonos get busy. Hotels such as Makarios Beach Hotel and Paradise Beach Resort need early bookings. Less visited islands like Paros or Naxos offer quieter alternatives. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We found visiting attractions early morning in August helped avoid crowds especially in Santorini's Oia village for the sunset views."
