I am considering taking a cruise to the Greek Islands in mid-May and was wondering if anyone knows what the weather is generally like at that time of year.

It's usually warm (temps in the 80s daytime and cooler at night, sometimes requiring a light jacket on the islands), but not nearly as hot as in the summer (when temps in the 90s or 100s are not uncommon). I've been to Greece twice in late May around Memorial Day weekend, and the weather one year was hot and clear, the other year cloudy and rainy (which is very unsual). There can also be a little wind at that time of the year.
I've found this to be a very nice time to visit Greece.
