3Best Time to Visit: Shoulder Seasons vs. Peak Summers

Santorini shines in spring and autumn. During April–May and September–October, the weather is warm, crowds are smaller, and sunsets are just as magical.

Summer can feel crowded in the villages. Mykonos thrives in high summer (July and August), when its party scene is in full swing and the beaches buzz with activity. If you’re seeking quiet, visit in the shoulder months, but expect a calmer vibe compared to the peak.
