We used to think Greece in September was just leftover summer. Then we went and got annoyed nobody corrected us sooner! 🥲
Water's warmer. Half the people arriving. Locals at their most chilled. This might genuinely be the best time to visit Greece, not the backup plan.
Late summer in the Greek islands moves at the pace you wanted July to have all along... 👌🏼
What would it take for you to move your Greece trip to the end of September instead?
