Okay so September is the closing month of the summer holiday season, sadly even for Greece or Greek islands. However, prices drop significantly midway through the month of September, so it could be worth holding off on your summer holiday, plus you’ll miss the rush of the school kids.

September is a great month for couples, because families tend to be restricted to the summer periods, especially with younger children. The weather during July and August is likely to be warmer, but gaining a tan is just as likely in September too.

So what are the downsides? Well as mentioned, it’s the close of the summer holiday season. If you love all inclusive holidays, it may be a little different in September, where restaurants need to budget the last of the food more carefully, and because the number of visitors are smaller, so too will be the range of food on offer.

September may lack atmosphere, even the main attractions such as water parks, but it means no queuing for rides, and seclusion, which could be exactly what you’re looking for in a holiday. Either way, September should not be automatically ruled out just because it’s not quite as hot. So if you want to cut back costs, delay your next summer holiday and head to Greece in September.
