Where to relax in September at sea
Turkey
The queen of budget vacations is Turkey. In September 2021, these are the most inexpensive seaside holiday destinations abroad, especially if you fly on a last minute tour. Turkey is always a win-win: warm sea, mountains and forests, a huge number of attractions, delicious food - and all this is inexpensive.
We rested in Turkey four times: three of them in Istanbul, and one - on a hot tour of 7 nights in Kemer for 33,500 rubles for two. We recommend Kemer - a quiet and peaceful village, surrounded by mountains and aromas of pine trees. From the resort it is convenient to travel to beautiful places in the vicinity: Phaselis, Olympos, Cirali, Chimera.
Any resort is suitable for a beach holiday in September. In Belek, Antalya and Alanya, the warmest is + 32 ° С during the day. In Kemer, Bodrum, Side and Marmaris +29 ... + 30 ° С.
Things to do? In September, tourists alternate beach holidays with excursions to other resorts and beautiful places. See the ruins of the ancient cities of Olympos and Phaselis, the old city and waterfall in Antalya, and the Damlatas fortress and cave in Alanya. Many go on one or two day tours to Pamukkale, Cappadocia and Istanbul.
Italy
We are delighted with Italy! Were in Sicily, Rimini, Venice, Rome and San Marino and will be back again. September is the best month for a beach holiday in Italy: it is warm but not hot, prices are falling, and there are fewer people. Do not hesitate to go!
The most popular and inexpensive resort in Italy is Rimini. A wide beach, many restaurants, attractions and a convenient location - you can go on excursions to the main cities of the country. However, it is always crowded there. You can swim until the second half of September, after which the water cools down to + 20 ° С. Find out if your vacation in Rimini is worth it.
It is cool to relax on the sea in September 2021 in the resorts of Sicily and Sardinia, where it is consistently warm and little rain. Take a trip to Favignana Island, where the water is magical in color and the scenery is beautiful. We guarantee you will fall in love with this island! Read on for the best places to stay in Sicily.
Weather. In the seaside resorts of Italy in September, the weather is ideal for a beach holiday. The warmest in Palermo, Florence and Naples + 27 ° С, in Capri + 26 ° С. In Milan, Venice and Genoa + 24 ° C. The sea water temperature is + 24 ° С.
Things to do? In September, it is already comfortable to go on excursions or travel around Italy on your own. You can visit Rome, Milan, Venice, Genoa, Florence, Verona and other cities without fear of sunstroke or dying of thirst. Go shopping in Rimini, Milan or dwarf San Marino.
Diversify your Italian beach holiday in September with festivals and celebrations: visit the Venice International Film Festival, the Recco Fireworks Festival or the Venice Boat Regatta. In almost every town there are harvest-related celebrations, such as the Pizzafest in Naples, the wine festival in Asti and the ham festival in Parma.
Spain
We love Spain very much - we've been to Andalusia, Madrid and Barcelona. A chic combination of ancient architecture, delicious food, beautiful nature, warm sea and fertile Mediterranean climate. Therefore, we advise you to go to the sea in Spain in September - believe me, a very successful idea! There is no longer such heat and crowds of tourists on the beaches as in August, when Europeans go on vacation.
In Spain, a comfortable beach holiday in September in Tenerife, Ibiza, Mallorca, Valencia, Salou, Alicante and on the south coast. The best beaches in Spain >>
In September go to Barcelona: the heat subsides, and you can safely walk around the city, visit museums and the surroundings of the resort. See what the prices are in Barcelona.
Weather. In the first half of September in Madrid + 29 ° С, in Barcelona, Valencia and Malaga + 26 ° С, on the coast and islands +26 ... + 28 ° С. Sea water + 24 ° С. Rains are rare and intermittent. From the second half of the month there is a little more rain, the wind intensifies, and the temperature drops to + 23 ° С.

There are many active sports on the beaches: surfing, parachuting, parasailing, jet skis and catamarans. Go on an excursion or on your own to other cities in the country. The San Sebastian International Film Festival is held annually in September, and the Seville Flamenco Festival takes place on even-numbered years.
Greece
Where to relax in September 2021 at sea abroad inexpensively? Very nice prices in Greece. We rested in Rhodes on a package tour for RUB 27,000 for two for 5 nights. I liked everything very much! The country is ideal for holidays during the velvet season: both the weather is good and you can catch a cheap last minute tour.
A huge plus of the country is the variety of islands: you can choose secluded or popular, green or rocky, only beach or with an abundance of attractions. Another advantage is that it is now quite easy to get a visa to Greece for 1-3 years at once.
In early September, you can have a good rest on the sea in any resort in Greece: Crete, Corfu, Rhodes, Halkidiki, Kos, Zakynthos or Loutraki. The air temperature is about + 28 ° С, the sea is + 24 ° С. At the end of the month, it is more comfortable in Crete and Rhodes.
Things to do? Diversify your beach vacation in September with excursions and trips around Greece - go to Athens, Mycenae, Knos, Corinth, Delphi, Sparta. The sun is not so hot, so it is more pleasant to visit ancient and medieval monuments. We rented a bike in Rhodes and toured the whole island! Many tourists rent a car.
Go kitesurfing, jet skiing, water skiing and catamarans on the beach. In September, the Athens International Film Festival, the Corinth Grape Festival and the Kos Wine Festival are held.
Cyprus
We really like Cyprus. It is very similar to Greece: the same ancient monuments, the same nature and Mediterranean climate, language, food, mentality. However, it is somehow subtly different. Read the reviews of tourists about Cyprus and decide whether to go on vacation. By the way, it is easier for Russians to get to Cyprus than to Greece - a visa is issued online!
If you do not know where to fly in September 2021 on vacation, choose Cyprus - you will not go wrong. In July and August, the island is infernal heat, and at this time it is difficult to see the sights. I just want to lie under an umbrella or air conditioner! I even got severe sunburn. But September is a completely different matter, because the sun is no longer so active: in the afternoon +28 ... + 30 ° С, water in the sea + 26 ° С. It is cool by the sea in the evenings, put on a light blouse. Any resort is suitable for a beach holiday: Ayia Napa, Limassol, Paphos, Protaras, Larnaca.
Things to do? Be sure to visit Paphos - there are many cool sights: the archaeological park, the royal tombs, the fort and the lighthouse, the stone of Aphrodite, Mount Fabrika, churches and monasteries. Find out what to see in Paphos - everything is painted in detail.
We also went to Turkish Northern Cyprus with an excursion, but you can visit it yourself. It is greener than the Southern one. We really liked it there: the beautiful port in Kyrenia, the magical abbey of Bellapais, the castle of St. Hilarion, Famagusta and the ghost town of Varosha, which can only be viewed from the side.
Visit the rock tombs of Makronisos near Ayia Napa, medieval structures in Larnaca and Nicosia, travel to the Troodos mountains and the Akamas peninsula. Have fun at the water park, go surfing, diving or fishing. Near Limassol there is a wine and grape dessert festival and a gastronomic festival in Ayia Napa. Nicosia hosts a city arts festival. Find out what to see in Ayia Napa.
Tunisia
Where is the best place to relax in September at sea in 2021? If you want to visit an exotic foreign country, choose Tunisia. Here you have the Mediterranean Sea, and camels with the desert, and antiquity, and delicious food in one bottle.
Weather. In September, the hellish heat recedes, and it becomes comfortable in the resorts of Tunisia. In Hammamet + 26 ° С, in Sousse and Mahdia + 29 ° С. The warmest water off the coast of Port el-Kantaoui is + 28 ° С, in other resorts + 25 ° С and above. Hot and dry on the island of Djerba, during the day + 31 ° C and almost no precipitation. In the second half of the month it is warm, but periodically the sky is covered with clouds, and in the evenings the wind intensifies.
Things to do? Beach holidays in Tunisia are especially good in September. After lunch, the waves are frequent and you can go windsurfing. Have fun at the water park, soak up the spa, and shop for beautiful oriental gifts for friends and family. Travel to Carthage, the blue and white city of Sidi Bou Said and the Sahara Desert. In the middle of the month there is a fun festival "Neptune's Trident" and a competition for divers "Festival of Corals".
Montenegro
In a small but charming Montenegro in September 2021, you can relax by the sea quite inexpensively, by European standards. The holiday season is ending and everything is getting cheaper.
Weather. In early autumn, the intense heat subsides: the air temperature during the day is + 25 ° С, and at night it is already quite fresh + 16 ° С. It rains a little, but it can be cloudy. It is warmest in the resorts of Tivat and Herceg Novi in the Bay of Kotor + 27 ° С. True, swimming can be hampered by cold currents, but the Adriatic presents such surprises even in hot July.
Things to do? Tourists combine beach holidays in September with trips around the country and excursions. Visit Sveti Stefan and Kotor, the famous Skadar Lake and the Tara River Canyon, nature reserves and national parks.
In the first month of autumn, Budva hosts a gastronomic festival with the funny name "Days of Siruna" (Sirun is a fish breed that is found in the Adriatic). The fish is prepared in different ways and is treated to everyone.
Israel
Russians love Israel very much: the combination of quality beach holidays, rich culture and history, and the opportunity to improve their health attracts many. Besides, you don't need a visa! Read reviews of tourists about Israel and decide whether to go there.
In September, the best beach holiday in the Mediterranean resorts of Israel: comfortable in Haifa, Netanya and Tel Aviv, where during the day + 28 ° С ... + 30 ° С. Sea water +25 ... + 27 ° С. But in Eilat during the day it is hot +35 ... + 37 ° С. At the Dead Sea + 34 ° C.
Things to do? The Red Sea is ideal for diving and snorkeling. With children, visit the Bible Zoo and Luna Park in Tel Aviv. Adults travel to holy places. On the Sea of Galilee, vacationers prefer to spend time in the water park.
Holidays in Israel are celebrated according to their own calendar, and the end of September is often the Jewish New Year - Rosh Hashanah. Jerusalem hosts an international chamber music festival, and Tel Aviv hosts an exhibition of art canvases.
Where else can you relax in September 2021 at sea
Back in September 2021, you can have a wonderful vacation at sea in Portugal, Morocco, Jordan, the Emirates, exotic Indonesia, China, or rush to the freest island on Earth - Cuba. In September, the choice of resorts is so rich that it is even difficult to decide.
And if foreign distances do not attract, you can always go to your native coast - in the Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory it is also warm and sunny, the Black and Azov seas are warm enough. We have rested in the south of Russia many times, including in September - this is a great time: the beaches and villages are completely empty, and the weather is pleasant (but sometimes there are hurricanes). Rest in Sochi in September →
