Beach holidays in September
You wait, you wait for this summer, and it just flashed by in just three or four weeks of heat - and that's it .... And again - jackets, sweaters, the sound of rain on the windowsill ...
Not ready for autumn to come? Have you just been able to take a vacation? Have you been waiting for a friend or husband to be able to keep you company? Well, all is not lost yet, in some countries September is the velvet season in many resorts. From this article you will find out where you can go on a beach holiday in September.
Vacation in September: for those who know a lot about relaxation
Actually, September is my favorite month of the year. And not only because my birthday is at the very beginning of September. But because in the last ten years I had the opportunity to go on vacation (namely, to rest, and not on a promotional tour, galloping around hotels) only in the fall. And I can assure you that at this time of the year there are still plenty of beach resorts, both in Russia and abroad.
On some, the heat has already subsided to a comfortable level, on others, the temperature of the air and water has not yet gone beyond it. Read, choose where to go in September if you need a vacation by the sea.
New Sochi
Holidays in Sochi in September were considered prestigious back in Soviet times. At this time, there is still the same lush greenery, warm evenings and the sea warmed up to +25 0 C. Only the sharply reduced number of children on the beaches reminds us that autumn has begun.
What I personally like about this option: the conditions for recreation in Sochi can be very different - from excellent service for very good money to a budget holiday in Spartan conditions. That is, unlike other areas, here everyone will find what they are looking for. Don't even hesitate. Looking at the feed of my friends on Instagram, I realized that everyone in Sochi has recently checked in. Even those who until recently did not understand at all how you can relax NOT ABROAD ...
Well, and the beautiful mountains, waterfalls, canyons, as well as the Olympic facilities of Greater Sochi - all this in September continues to please us in the best possible way!
Blue-blue Black Sea)))
Crimea no problem
It is believed that Crimea is especially charming in September. Since it has been part of the Russian Federation, many residents of our mighty country have been eager to visit it to see the sights and, of course, relax.
If earlier many people were afraid of many hours of downtime in queues for the ferry, now this moment will not overshadow your vacation in any way - passing through the Kerch Strait on the new bridge has significantly increased the chances of Crimea to win the love of tourists.
This is what Crimea looked like in November….
But you can and need to see so much in Crimea that you can’t cover it in one trip. Works, i.e. rest for at least a couple of trips)) That year we also rushed through the Crimea in the fall, we were stunned by its beauty and this fall we plan to return and devote at least a week to the Crimea. So stay tuned for new blog articles by subscribing to updates through this form:

Sunny Abkhazia
Only a completely lazy tourist does not yet know that you can drive from Sochi for a day to neighboring Abkhazia. And maybe not for a day, but for a week or two. And you will have a good beach holiday, and without a visa. And quite inexpensive.
I have an article about holidays in Abkhazia in the fall. Well, oh-oh, a very soulful holiday can turn out for those who do not believe in the pessimistic remarks of "experienced" tourists that Abkhazia is a "big garbage dump." And I will answer such “experts”: dear, since you are such “clean”, take care of the nature of Abkhazia, relax at home - in Nizhny Uryupinsk or somewhere else ...
Invariably new New Athos!
Sunny Cyprus
Cyprus is the place where you can pack up and fly away in one or two days. That is how long it takes to receive a free tourist visa, in the questionnaire for which you only need to indicate the passport number and the names of the parents. The September Cypriot sun no longer burns - during the day the air temperature rises to +29–31 0 C, at night it drops to +20 0 C, the water in the sea remains warmed up to +26 0 C.
In addition to the gentle sun and warm sea, sweet malvasia awaits guests of the island of Aphrodite - a sweet wine made from grapes of the same name, ancient monasteries in the mountains and, of course, resorts - noisy youth Ayia Napa, restrained Paphos in English, serene beach Larnaca. I have written more about the resorts of Cyprus in the article What you can see in Cyprus during a week of rest, read in the review Direct charter flights from different cities of Russia fly to Cyprus until mid-October.
Cyprus, Limassol.
Turkey again
The main summer destination for Russians does not lose its relevance in the fall. And it seems that this year the Turks are ready to keep their hotels in Belek, Kemer, Marmaris and other resorts open until the last Russian tourist. The service that many have already missed, Turkish dishes that have become familiar, the All inclusive system, cheerful animators, colorful evening shows - everything returns to its usual places. Moreover, in September on Turkish shores it is much more comfortable than in summer - air + 28–30 0 C during the day, + 20–23 0 C at night, water + 25–28 0 C. And prices for Turkish hotels this year are much more interesting last year.
Turkish hotels are yearning for Russian tourists…
Tunisia
This country can become a worthy replacement for the usual Turkey and Egypt. Russians like Tunisia because here, unlike Egypt, there are no problems with service and food. Tunisian resorts - Hammamet, Sousse, the island of Djerba, Monastir - owe a high level of service and delicious cuisine to the habit of the French to relax in their former colony. By September, the sea near the Tunisian coast is warmed up to + 25–28 0 C, and the daytime temperature stays at + 30–32 0 C. There is practically no rain, but towards the end of the month, the excitement at the sea intensifies.
Montenegro
In the velvet season, tours to Montenegro remain in demand. Compared to other countries in this review, the sea there will not be so warm - the water temperature in September drops to + 22-24 ° C. But, you see, it is not critical! And you can definitely sunbathe: during the day on the coast, the thermometer will reach + 26-27 ° C, at night - + 16-17 ° C. You need to choose a resort for a September holiday carefully, as the temperature in different areas varies significantly. The warmest resorts are Bar, Budva, Ulcinj.
The weather in September can also bring unpleasant surprises in the form of prolonged rains. And, if, nevertheless, a decision is made to go to Montenegro in September, then you must definitely put warm clothes and a light jacket in your suitcase for evening walks along the seashore, do not forget an umbrella.
Montenegro in September - it is so ... different.
But in September in Montenegro, a real expanse for fruit lovers: these are, first of all, figs, watermelon, mulberries, nectarines, grapes, melons. At the same time, prices for all products, as well as for services, are noticeably reduced, becoming “as for their own”.
Bulgaria
Some of the hassle associated with obtaining a visa to this country is fully offset by the cheapness of flights and holidays in this country, a varied excursion program and good cuisine. Bulgaria in September is a surprisingly wonderful place to relax. At the very beginning of autumn, a real velvet season opens here, which pleases vacationers with warm air and the sea, a minimum amount of precipitation, a warm and light breeze and, most importantly, the absence of fuss and a large crowd of tourists. An important plus is also that you can buy a ticket for this particular period for very little money. The elite resort of St. Constantine and Helena can be recommended to people with means, to the middle class - Golden Sands, to families with children and youth - democratic Sunny Beach.

In September, the air temperature in the Bulgarian Black Sea resorts varies from +25 0 C during the day to +17 0 C at night, the sea temperature is +23 0 C, and it rains only once or twice during the whole month. Do not delay with a choice - the last charter to Russia flies from Burgas at the end of September.
Greece
Well, I will complete today's rating of September beach destinations with a country that has everything - Greece. It doesn’t matter which Greek resort you decide to go to - each of you will find what you are looking for. Greece lives up to any expectations. If you want to find an oasis of glamorous relaxation here, you will. If you are looking for a quiet family vacation - it will happen.
September on Chalkidiki- the most comfortable month, when during the day the temperature rises to +25–27 0 C, and the sea warms up to +25 0 C. In addition to the joys of the beach, Halkidiki is a convenient starting point for those who are planning to buy a Greek fur coat, because no one has yet winter in Russia did not cancel.

An ideal beach holiday in September can also boast Crete- Birthplace of Zeus and the Minotaur. Compared to the mainland, both the sea and the air will be a couple of degrees warmer here. And well-preserved architectural monuments are literally at every step, and in order to see something interesting, it is not at all necessary to go somewhere far away. However, tourists who just want to relax on the coast will also like this island. In early autumn, rentals of all kinds of accessories for water sports are still open. There are no problems with the infrastructure either - bars and cafes are open as usual on the coast, and various entertainment venues are open in large cities.
Trips to Greece in September are much cheaper than in July or August. If the budget is strictly limited, consider last minute tours. It is not worth worrying about the quality of rest - it is not customary to save on guests (that is, on tourists) in Greece.
In a word, in September, only the lazy will not find a suitable resort for recreation. And those who are not lazy have already picked up nice hotels in these countries for a long time and now they are reading this post lying on a beach chair, with a tablet in one hand and a glass of good wine in the other.
An impressive September holiday to you, friends, and see you on the blog!
