Being in the southern Aegean, the tourist season on the islands of Kos, Rhodes and Santorini extends into most of October. So for those who prefer more Western European Summer/Autumn temperatures, the islands are a perfect holiday destination at this time of year.

Whilst the weather is less reliable than in July, August and September, invariably the daytime temperatures are in the 20′s centigrade and sunny, with night-time temperatures dropping to the middle to high teens. If your plans are for sightseeing rather than a beach holiday, this is a great time of year to visit the Greek islands.
