September is one of the best months for travel. The extreme heat is gone, the peak tourist season has passed, and prices become more reasonable. Here are seven destinations where September truly shines:

1. Italy (Tuscany) – vineyards, food festivals, and a mild climate.

2. Greece (Crete, Rhodes) – warm sea, quiet beaches, and rich cultural heritage.

3. Spain (Barcelona, Seville) – velvet season, evening strolls, and iconic architecture.

4. Portugal (Algarve) – sunny, less crowded, perfect for surfing.

5. Georgia (Tbilisi, Kakheti) – wine harvest season, warm hospitality, scenic nature.

6. Croatia (Split, Dubrovnik) – warm sea, fewer tourists.

7. Japan (Hokkaido) – early autumn, comfortable weather, festivals, and nature.

Note: Always check visa requirements and book flights at least 2–3 weeks in advance.
