Autumn is a good time for those who travel for the sunset, food and luxury hotels
The many benefits of off-season vacations are mentioned in a Bloomberg article, pointing out that ideal destinations for autumn travel (with less crowds and lower costs) are places like Italy’s Amalfi Coast and the Greek islands.
Among the top 5 recommended by travel professionals for this autumn, Santorini is included.
“The further south you go, the longer the summer lasts,” says Brie Shelly of luxury travel agency Embark Beyond, explaining that in destinations such as Spain’s Balearic Islands and Greece, travelers can enjoy warm, dry weather well into October. .
Santorini has the longest season in the area, staying open until the end of November, so prices drop as expected.
The cost of tickets for a round-trip flight from New York to Athens is reduced by up to $1,000 from the end of August to the end of September.
At the end of September, the cost may be around $900. Anyone who waits until mid-October will save even more, with flights costing as little as $550.
There is also a big drop in the cost of overnight stays, which drops from at least 1,000 euros at the end of August (in 5-star hotels), to around 600 euros in mid-October.
Of course, travelers who opt for the fall will have a quieter experience, notes Bloomberg. Those interested in Santorini’s nightlife will be disappointed, but the tavernas and restaurants stay open until the last hotel closes. Autumn is a good time for those who travel for sunset, food and good hotels.
The rest of the destinations recommended by Bloomberg for the fall are Lake Como in Italy, Prague, Sicily and Portugal.
