What you gain in September
- ↑The Meltemi winds ease significantly in September — sea conditions are calmer for boat trips to Delos and around the island, and exposed beaches that were challenging in July and August become enjoyable again
- ↑Weather remains excellent: 27°C highs, 9.5 sunshine hours, sea temperature still at 24–25°C — every bit as warm as June but with the summer crowds beginning to dissipate
- ↑Prices begin to soften from the August peak while the full season remains open — clubs, beach clubs, and restaurants are all operating but with more room to breathe; the island feels more manageable
What you sacrifice
- ↓Still expensive — September is firmly high season in Mykonos; the price relief from August is meaningful but this is not a budget month
- ↓The most famous club events wind down through September; if you're visiting specifically for the major DJ programmes at Paradise Beach, check event calendars carefully as headline nights taper off
- ↓Crowds are high throughout September, particularly in early September when the summer transition hasn't yet occurred; school holiday end pushes some demand but the island remains busy
