Hey man…

Yeah, it’s safe! Bring marshmellows…

Just kidding, but it’s a good question. I have some friends heading there now, they just called ahead and contacted their hotels/hostels – everything’s open.

What you definitely want to do is keep checking travel.state.gov for regular tourist updates and safety notices while you’re abroad (goes for anyplace you’re visiting, but especially Greece right now).

Safe travels!

Hello! It looks like they have the fires under control and it is “safe’ to travel there now. That does depend on where you are planning on traveling though. Also, if you still go, be aware that there may still be delays. Here is what the US consulate says: Greece is currently experiencing a series of widespread, destructive, fast-moving wild fires. Many of these are located in the Peloponnese region, but other areas have also been seriously affected by the fires. Americans contemplating travel to Greece in the immediate future are advised to remain attentive to news reports throughout their stay in Greece, avoid the affected areas, and be prepared for road closures, detours, and strained public services. Greek authorities are likely to deal severely with persons who cause wild fires, even unintentionally. Campfires, barbecues, brush-burning, welding and other activities involving open flames or sparks outdoors are forbidden in many localities during the dry summer season.

how is greece in june?

Greece is the best in June if you like warm;) I was there the last week in June and it was in the high 80 degrees f. low 90s…but that dry heat keeps it very pleasant. There’s also a nice breeze that came in when I was there. Perfect scenario for sightseeing in the morning. Then, relaxing at a outside but roofed cafe while sipping a frappe or frozito in the afternoon to keep cool…and those long nights….
