Returning from a holiday and needing to deal with an abrupt end to carefree ways can be upsetting, prompting a desire for a little extra time away. If feeling so, choose a couple of days in September, pack your travel bag and take off again.

After all, as is commonly known, the Greek islands are even more delightful in September. The month’s reduced number of travellers assures a travel experience of greater quality. Non-congested settings reveal all their beauty, while outings and swimming become easier, more relaxed and carefree.

Tinos
Tinos, the quiet achiever of the Cyclades, represents an ideal weekend escape from all concerns. Begin with relaxed strolls at the island’s whitewashed alleys, not congested at this time of the year and offering satisfaction to the fullest. With tourism’s mass influx now over on the island, locals are more relaxed and easier to socialise with. Visit the villages Pyrgos, Komi, Volakas, and Tripotamo, a spot with charming cobbled alleys and traditional architecture. Swim at the island’s exceptional waters, at beaches now largely empty. This applies for serviced beaches such as Agios Sostis, Kionia and Laouti, and especially for non-serviced beaches such as Livada, Agia Thalassa and Pahia Ammos. Walk at Tinos’ superb trails and, along the way, see the island’s renowned dovecotes, as well as small, all-white chapels. Head all the way to Exomvourgo.
