Over the last few years more and more tourists choose to visit the mainland of Greece in April and May.
A good idea so to avoid the peak season and the overcrowded July and August.
The Spring time in Greek mainland is magic. The air, the light, the nature, the colours, the smells is something unique! During this period, the weather is not so hot so it's ideal for driving and walking.The see water is still cold but depending on the area it may be pretty fine!
Plus, tickets and accomodation prices is much lower (except for the Easter days)

Really good prices for early booked flights from the States to Greece for summer 2018

(from Pappas Post)
"We searched random flights from five U.S. cities with high concentrations of Greeks and found fares on major international carriers with connections in Europe for peak summer travel between June and September coming in at below $750.

This is a boon to people who have the flexibility to plan ahead.

When booked last minute or even a month or two before, flights can reach upwards of $2000 for an economy round trip ticket.

We found numerous carriers, including Lufthansa and Iberia, the national carrier of Spain, offering round trip service between Chicago and Athens at under $750.

Flights from Boston, Philadelphia and Washington DC were coming in at the same prices for travel in June, July and early August. We sampled average trips of two weeks."
