Weather in July

[Larainerenee]

We are looking at an itinerary for July, 2015 for the Greek Islands. We usually cruise in September, but this is the best itinerary for us.

I am concerned about how hot it will be - we sail from Istanbul and end in Athens.

Thoughts, please?

It will be HOT...short and simple.

We had usually 35-40 C. If I calculate correctly that is around 100 F.

We went in early July this year. It was hot but not unbearable. Keep drinking those fluids and look for shady/air conditioned places.

Istanbul will be cooler and it will get hotter the further south you go. It will be HOT.

Hot.

 

But I think that's been mentioned by others :D

We have done maybe six Med. Cruises but last year we did our first one in the summer as we were traveling with daughter, SIL' and two school aged children.

 

Yes, it was hot but we all wore light clothing, hats and carried water. I did not find anywhere to be humid except Venice (we live in the Southeastern US so I know humidity!). I did not find any of the places we went to be more a lot more crowded than I have experienced before.

Even though its hot, during our cruise age 7 to 70+ enjoyed it!! Plan your excursion carefully and if you can do private vans/tours and you'll have a wonderful time

We were just there this past July. Coming from the US South, we didn't find it too hot. It was comfortable for us, but it was still warm. Enjoy, it's wonderful!

I think it depends on how you are with hot weather. It's the Med and its in summer - it is going to be really hot. I cannot STAND hot weather and so we booked our Med cruise for this coming October. I knew I would be miserable there in the summer and if we are going to spend all this money then I'm going to try and eliminate all the things that might make the trip a negative experience. And walking around in hot weather is not my idea of a good time :D
