I really liked Naxos the two times I went in September 2013, and 2018. I stayed near the St George Beach. Great food, very nice people, and the weather was very hot. I have yet to go to Santorini, and I want to, but I don't like competing with crowds. I hope to go one year late Sept or Oct.
I am wondering if the End of October would be good time to visit Greek Islands? I am not a beach person but would like to spend half day to enjoy the water. Currently i am doing 2023 trip planning, and I have 2 options. Option 1 Last 2 weeks of September on island + first week of Oct on Mainland. Option 2 last 1.5 weeks of Oct on Island + first week Nov on Mainland. Love to get some suggestions 😊
I will be going to Olympia, Athens & Santorini end of October. I'm from sunny Florida so I'm nervous I'll be cold. What would you pack? Should I just pack tennis shoes and birkenstocks or should I pack boots too?
Weather in October can still be nice. Some things will be closed but not everything. Mostly restaurants close and not sites or beaches. How long will you be there for? This might help, my ebook on Santorini. agirlandherpassport.com/product/santorini-itineraries-1-3-5-day-guides/
Some will be but not everything. This year might be different as well since our season may start late so some businesses will stay open later. There will still be plenty to choose from in early October. Naxos doesn't completely closed down in the winter since it has a good sized year round population. Hope that helps!
Hello, what is the weather there temperature wise in October? Can you please answer me and be specific, I would appreciate it, I am afraid I will not be able to tolerate. Thanks so much God bless you.
It varies. It can be in the low 80s to the 60s. It does rain in October but not much. I can't be more specific than that as the weather isn't the same every year here.
@@agirlandherpassport no problem. As a Greek American I enjoy watching your travels and perspective living in Athens. Will you consider taking a walk in the nice but lesser known areas like Petralona or Pangrati? Or maybe Koukaki which is close to Akropolis metro?
@@agirlandherpassport Also I just created my own youtube channel called CK Traveler. Check it out and subscribe if you like. We're traveling around New York State only now due to COVID-19. Thanks!
I don’t usually go to places without a purpose. A few older videos show other areas. I go to Pangrati to do my laundry but don’t walk around but I could do that when I go next. :-)
October weather can still be warm. I have gone swimming in October even. There is more chance of rain in October but it doesn't usually last for long. It will be cool in the evenings though but not cold.
Beautiful. Quiet and peaceful without all the tourists
It is a wonderful time of year in Greece!
Beautiful, thank you for sharing!!
You're welcome! Glad you liked it.

It will still be nice at the end of September or the beginning of October in Santorini

They can be but not always. This year was cooler than last year and very windy. I would do your first option.

You will have to check the weather. Every year is different.
I'm hoping to be there in October! Milos and Santorini. Is it warm enough for pool time and swimming in the sea?
It usually is. I was in Milos two years ago in October and I went swimming. It isn't super hot but the sea water is warm.
I’m planning Santorini in October.. Not sure what to expect weather or activities..any suggestions?

There are some things open but it will be less than in the summer.
