Summer may get most of the attention, but September and October can be two of the best months to experience Greece. The crowds begin to thin, temperatures become more comfortable, and many destinations reveal a completely different side once the peak summer rush is over.
There is another reason, however, why more experienced travelers are looking beyond July and August — and it may completely change the way you think about when to visit Greece.
8Exploring Ancient Sites Is Much More Comfortable
Greece’s archaeological sites are extraordinary, but exploring exposed ruins beneath the intense summer sun isn’t always easy.
September and October usually bring more comfortable conditions for walking around archaeological sites, historic towns, castles and monasteries.
Places such as the Acropolis, Delphi, Ancient Olympia and archaeological sites across the Greek islands can become much more enjoyable when sightseeing doesn’t have to revolve around escaping the midday heat.
