Summer in Greece
Sometimes the holidays in June and September were considered as holidays outside of the season. It's not like that nowaday. Accommodation capacities were fully booked from June 20 to September 10. Both the first half of June and the second half of September are quite demanding, but more and more requests are received for holidays in May and October.
May is the time when the Greek season is already in progress

Between the three islands surrounding the Life there are numerous bays with beautiful beaches, and the
Bougainvillea - the most beautiful flower of the Mediterranean
Bougainvillea, or Bogumila as some people call it, is the most beautiful flower of the Mediterranean.
I do not know if anyone can resist to stop and at least for a while admire the luxurious bougainvillea that adorn the houses and hotels on the Greek coast.

The autochthonous species of Tulip grow in Chios, that the islanders call "lalades". In March wild fields and meadows are covered with these beautiful plants.

The second suggestion is a small place Agistro, immediately after entering Greece (ten minutes drive from the Promahonas border crossing). We always choose this option.

Every year more and more tourists who travel to the Ionian coast cross the Niki border instead of Evzoni. During the season there is usually no crowd; the road is not so good, but very interesting!

Tolls
One new toll booth was planned to be set in Egnatia Odos, nearby Asprovalta.
In April started the construction of one more on the way Thessaloniki - Seres - Promahonas, so the travellers from Bulgaria to Greece will have some extra costs in the future.
The third toll road will be set on the road Thessaloniki Oreokastro, and will wait all tourists who take a detour around Thessaloniki to the Chalkidiki and
