Rare cruisemom42 Posted May 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I agree mid-October would be my choice. September can still be quite warm. In addition to fewer crowds, you may also find that airfare is slightly less expensive. There is a slightly increased chance of rain, but it isn't as big a deal in the Eastern Med; more likely in the Western Med (Italy, France, etc).

maryann ns Posted May 1, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Since it was wonderful for us in November, no crowds or oppressive heat, I would also vote for October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted May 2, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Are you accustomed to heat? Greece and Turkey for me, with a horrible pale skin, are a no-no in Sept, as they can still be very hot.....but if you're from a hot spot, then it probably won't matter. The season in both countries is winding down in Oct, and, apart from a burst of package holiday makers from the UK at half term- last week or so of Oct- there'll not be many visitors around. Jo.
