I'm thinking of going to Halkidiki after September 20 - what's the weather like there at that time?
The vacation did not work out this year - only September remains. Tell me what is the weather like in Halkidiki at the end of September - I read that it rains there. And which "finger" should I choose if I want to travel more on excursions and drive a car? Thank you in advance!

Good afternoon))) ... everyone has already written so much about the weather, but I will write again ... It doesn’t happen year after year, but taking into account the fact that Halkidiki is located in a bay, because three peninsulas serve as natural breakwaters, the sea it keeps heat there for a long time, and most importantly there is no wave. It may rain, but again, not a fact ... At this time we ourselves go to Greece, and sunbathe and swim. Have a nice rest. And you can take any finger, but be sure to go to Sithonia, there are very beautiful bays and the area itself is brighter.))

))) Good afternoon saliani. About your question.
Halkidiki, we will call it the Trident of Poseidon, because it looks like if you look at the map on the Trident. Halkidiki is divided into tra peninsulas - Kassandra, Sithonia, Athos ... If you "drop into the depths of history and mythology", then Poseidon turned his children Palini, Siton, and Athos into such fingers, the Greeks call them legs, but the Russians for euphony these peninsulas are called fingers, they are similar in shape. And in the 4th century BC, Cassander (son-in-law of Philip II-, and Philip is the father of Alexander the Great), founded the city of Thessaloniki (Thessaloniki), naming it after his wife, and renamed the finger (Palini Peninsula), in honor of his beloved Kasandra))) ... Total ... fingers are the peninsulas of Kasandra, Sithonia, Athos)))) ......

I will add about "fingers". If you look at the map of Halkidiki (the Greeks always emphasize the last syllable), you can see a palm with three fingers down. This is from left to right: Kassandra, Sithonia, Athos. We traveled all three fingers. On Kassandra, the beaches are rocky and steep, while on Sithonia, they are flat with very fine white sand. Athos is famous primarily for the monastic state of the same name, where only men can enter.
You can swim in September, the sea is still warm.

Diana, good afternoon! But I sometimes admire my Karelian Isthmus in other people's photos and understand that I won’t be able to see everything even at my side for the rest of my life. Like this.
And on Kassandra, I was struck by the unprecedented beauty of the steep rocky beaches. Maybe they are not so interesting to the locals, but I was simply struck by their beauty. Germans and Swedes climb these cliffs with enviable tenacity and then catch some inexplicable buzz on a narrow strip of coast. I envy you, Diana, with white envy that you live in such a blessed place as Greece! )))

My friends Diana and Murzik, in the album "Greece. Halkidiki" there really are no beaches of Kassandra. Sorry, I'll add it soon.
Murzik, as for Athos, on that trip we were in the monastic state of Athos, in the monastery of St. Panteleimon, and you can’t swim there, the monks have such a law. On the very "finger" of Athos there are beaches, often when traveling together, women stay for a beach holiday, and men leave by ferry to monasteries. Diana will tell you better about the beaches. Happy travels!
