From April through to November in Kavos, Greece experiences typical tourist weather. The summer is hot and dry, making the beaches a popular draw, and the long days full of sunshine.
There are about 14 hours of sunlight per day during May, and nine of those are full, bright, beautiful sun.

Many people find that the waters of Kavos are warm enough for swimming during May and no-one can argue with the beauty of the town's five miles beach and the scenic views that it provides. Therefore, the beach is a nice haven for May visitors.
In general the 18- to 30-year-old
party crowd does not inhabit the beach much, preferring to stick to the
hotel pools, therefore families and other people avoiding this atmosphere can relax at the beach.

It's an all-day adventure that takes tourists from the ancient Achilleion Place then moves on to the lush and untouched forest of Bella Vista before it ends on the island of Pontikonisi.
