When choosing Greece for your vacation, you should remember that it is very popular among travelers. On the one hand, this increases the level of service, but on the other hand, you will be disturbed by the same visitors as yourself. If you have the opportunity to plan your vacation in advance, and Greece is chosen as the purpose of your visit, then be sure to go to the resort in September.
September in Greece is the best month for vacation in every sense. Greece in September will greet you with rather sparse crowds of tourists, lower prices compared to the resort season, and weather practically no different from summer. Only the average daily temperature will be slightly lower, but otherwise everything will be wonderful – the warm sea and hot sun will bring the same pleasure.
Until the last ten days of the month, there is practically no decline in the activity of attractions. Only a knowledgeable person will notice this, and only if they start counting visitors. However, from the middle of the month, changes occur in the schedules of ferries and tour routes. But do not be upset, as everything will begin to wind down only by mid-October. Tours to Greece are very popular. So do not miss the opportunity to have a great vacation.
The theater season, which was buzzing all summer, is smoothly replaced by an international film festival. Its venue is Athens, which attracts tourists here with double force.
In mid-September, regional folk festivals begin on the entire mainland and on the islands. You will be able to get acquainted with the ancient traditions, songs, and dances of this beautiful country. Perhaps the most famous of them is the festival of the island of Patmos. It is held in honor of John the Theologian.
One of the most colorful events during this period is the festival on the island of Spetses, called 'Armata' and held in honor of the naval battle of 1822 between the Greeks and the Ottoman fleet.
If you have never been to Greece, or simply want to go there again, choose September for your visit, and you will not regret it!
