Question
Hello Dave,

I am looking forward to booking a last minute holiday deal with a friend. We are planning to go in the second week of August. Unfortunately my friend suffers a little in the heat but enjoys a beach holiday if it is not too unbearable. Do you know which is the breeziest/coolest of the Greek islands. Also, any other destination suggestions would be gratefully recieved.
Many Thanks,
Pippa

Answer
Pippa,
That is a tough question to answer. All of the Greek islands can be very breezy at times, depending on their exposure and the exact wind direction from day to day. You definitely want to be as close to the coast as possible,  wherever you choose to go. As for which island to choose, the following are all about in the same category as far as wind speeds are concerned:
Samos
Milos
Limnos
Skyros
Lesvos
Hopefully, everything will work out for you.

Sincerely,

Dave Dombek
