2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

Greece

Thought it was my athlete's foot flaring up again, but turns out I've got itchy feet for another big trip in the Landy. Anyone been to Greece in theirs? Thinking of getting the ferry from Brindisi, Italy to Igoumenitsa and then follow some of the Vibraction RB32. We'd have to go in the school hols, so a concern is would be too hot?...

Looking for some inspiration to get my planning head in gear so any advice would be good if anyone has been that way. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I'm not sure about mainland, but I know from islands that about from June - Sept - ish, it can be quite sufferably hot when not cafe hopping during the day time - but that will be dependent on your tolerance levels I suppose. The shoulder months either side of the Summer normally yields very nice warm-hot temperatures, but just without the incessant heat.

My experience was boat based - not much shade.. The Yeti - 110 Camper https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic90308.html

I've done the Pyrenees before and Morocco twice. We will go back to Pyrennees. Both were great trips. I fancy Portugal too. Just thought Greece might be something a bit different. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

We would have to go in those peak months, as restricted to school holidays. I have camped in Spain when it was 40C plus and it wasn't too much of a problem. Just needed plenty of shade. We didn't have a child then though. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS
