Where can you go on holiday in Greece in September?
The beginning of September is characterized by sultry, truly summer weather. The heat subsides only after the 10th of September. The highest temperatures at this time are observed in the southern regions. So, in Attica the air warms up to + 26-29˚C, and in the Peloponnese the weather is almost the same with a difference of +/- 1-2 degrees. At the same time, in Thessaloniki and Halkidiki at noon, the thermometer rises to + 24-27˚C. In any case, in the evening you cannot do without a light jacket or sweater - after sunset, the air, depending on the area, cools down to + 15-20˚C.
If you are interested in the opportunities for swimming, then until the 15th of September, you can stop your choice, both on the island and on the continental Greek resorts. But if you plan to visit Greece in the second middle of the first autumn month, then Crete and Rhodes will be the best options.
In early autumn, the demand for excursion programs "wakes up" - there are many who want to see the Athenian Acropolis, go to the meteoric monasteries, walk around the Peloponnese, "stuffed" with masterpieces of ancient culture, taste traditional Greek dishes while visiting rural taverns.
Do you like noisy companies and stormy fun until the morning? All this will be waiting for you on the Kassandra Peninsula.
