Have you ever thought of spending September in the Greek Islands? It can be a fantastic experience, as September is the month between the end of summer and the beginning of autumn and its warm and pleasant days allow you to live relaxing days in the sea and evenings full of night life.
The Greek islands, with their whiteness, the sea and the warm sun will make you live an unforgettable stay! Knowing that, you easily understand why September is the right month to enjoy the sea with its ideal temperatures, the peaceful bays and finally free of the more boisterous holidaymakers! Here are some ideas to take into consideration.
Crete
Crete will be your ideal destination and with its more than 350 beaches you will be spoiled for choice! The landscapes, combined with the crystal clear, transparent sea and the fine sand, will make you believe you’re in a safe and timeless haven. Among the most beautiful beaches there is definitely Elafonissi, with its characteristic intense pink colour of the coasts and rocks, located in the south-west of the island.
Kos
If you prefer to combine the beauty of the sea with relaxing spa treatments, the island of Kos is an excellent choice, where the purifying waters, the caves and the warm sea will completely delight your five senses.
Santorini
Santorini is very charming and impressive, especially considering its landscape: the fine sand, alternating with cliffs and rocks make an island for anyone. Stylish and romantic, is the ideal destination for holiday-lovers! Extra tip: there is nothing more romantic than watching the sunset with your partner in Oia.
Ios
For those who love fun and nightlife, Ios is theplace they have to be. There are plenty of pubs and bars frequented by young tourists and those who are not satisfied solely of marine beauty and its breathtaking scenery.
Rhodes
Last but not least, you have to think of the chances of your visiting the island of Rhodes. Beaches there are among the most beautiful and characteristic of the whole of Greece. Again, there are bars, restaurants and small taverns but also lots of fun for the younger ones.
The holidays of September are the ideal solution to enjoy a stress-free holiday: the Greek beaches are less crowded, the prices of hotel accommodations or vacation homes will be much lower and reasonable and will find peace and tranquility even in the most popular destinations of July and August.
