# Halkidiki in September

> The golden month — warmth, peace, lower prices

## Halkidiki in September
September is considered by many the **ideal month**: the sea is warm from the whole summer, the weather milder and the August crowds have gone. Prices drop, schools reopen and the atmosphere becomes more relaxed and romantic.

## Weather & Sea

- Air temperatures around **25-30°C**, pleasant day and night.
- The sea stays warm at **24-25°C**, often into mid-October.
- Stable, sunny weather with a calm sea in the mornings.

## What to Do
It is the best time for quiet beaches in Kassandra and [Sithonia](https://chalkidikihub.gr/guide/sithonia) without the crowds, from Kavourotrypes to Possidi. The **grape harvest** begins, so it is an ideal time to visit wineries such as Porto Carras, with tastings and a sea view. Hiking, boat trips and a Mount Athos cruise all happen in ideal, cooler conditions, without the August heat.

## Tips

- September suits couples, families and anyone who wants calm with a warm sea.
- Book [accommodation](https://chalkidikihub.gr/guide/hotels) for the first third of the month, which is more popular.
- Rent a [car](https://chalkidikihub.gr/guide/car-rental) for free exploration of the region.
