What September is like
September keeps the summer heat and the warm sea but loses the August crowds, and the meltemi eases through the month. For many people it is the best time to visit Milos. Prices drop after the first week, everything is still open, and boat trips run on most days.
Swimming and beaches
The sea averages 25°C in September. Warm: easy, long swims. Wind is usually moderate, so the dramatic north coast is often at its best.
Sheltered when the wind is from the north
Best on calm days
What to pack
Summer clothes, swimwear and a light layer for evenings late in the month.
