4 Great Greek Getaways for Early Autumn

Discover destinations that are perfect rain or shine, offering a plethora of activities, lush natural landscapes and cultural sights

Let’s start with a given: we are extremely fond of early autumn escapades, with their milder temperatures and the less crowded, more attentive locales that the end of summer brings. Here, we introduce four excellent destinations that we have experienced first-hand at this time of the year. We suggest you explore them and enjoy their delights as soon as possible.

Preveza: Charm and Seafood Galore
An enchantingly historical centre, inviting beaches, wonderful restaurants and tavernas boasting the freshest ingredients and a scenic marina coupled with remarkably affordable and splendid accommodation choices. These traits alone would suffice to label Preveza as an ideal summer destination, but this coastal town of Epirus is distinctly charming during the autumn period too.

The heartbeat of the city is most felt in its historic centre, where cobbled lanes lead you to ouzeries, bars, cafes and well-maintained tavernas. The air is rich with the aromas of fresh fish, seafood, and the famed Ambracian Gulf shrimp being grilled all around.

Strolling through the city encompasses wanders amidst grand neoclassical buildings and quaint cottages of vernacular architecture, all under the shadow of the Venetian Clock Tower (known as “the Roloi” by locals). Established in 1752, its distinctive ‘hat’ at the pinnacle and the bell tower of the Church of Agios Charalambos were added later on.
