For some people, the beginning of autumn is the beginning of working days and the end of vacation, but for others, this time, on the contrary, means rest, and they believe that this is the most favorable time for this.
Indeed, the September holiday is ideal - the heat is gone, but it is still warm enough and it is quite possible to visit sea resorts. It is especially good to go to the Mediterranean resorts in the velvet season. Let's take a closer look at the benefits of the velvet season.
This time of the year owes such a poetic name to the weather conditions, which feel like velvet; the weather is gentle, soft and very comfortable for the human body. There is a version that the name of the season was given when Empress Catherine was in power, who often rested in Crimea in September. Her example passed on to other noble ladies, then velvet dresses were in fashion, the season was called “velvet”.
Doctors also say that it is best to rest during the velvet season. The heat, which had such an exhausting effect on the body, has ended, the sun no longer bakes so much, but warmly warmly. Therefore, its rays are no longer dangerous, but on the contrary, are useful, and you can bask in them almost all day without fear of burns or allergic skin reactions.
Especially the rest in the velvet season is recommended for those who have heart problems, blood pressure, allergy sufferers, people of old age and children. It is also recommended for people who are difficult to tolerate heat and those who are prohibited from staying in the active sun.
September is the perfect time to visit the beaches. You won't see a lot of burnt backs on it - most people are back to work and you can pick the best spot on the half-empty beach. The sea will delight you too - due to the large number of people at the peak of the season it is usually turbulent, but in the velvet season, clear and transparent water awaits you. An important aspect is silence - after all, school-age children also went to school in September.
As for excursions, in the heat it can be hard enough to force yourself to get up and go somewhere, you want to lie on the beach or sit in a cool pool. But in the velvet season, excursions will no longer bore you - neither bus nor walking. Therefore, you can safely explore all the sights that interest you. Again, a plus - a small number of people on tourist routes.
Another indisputable plus of rest in the velvet season is real savings. In autumn, there are few people who want to relax, so travel companies will offer you last-minute tours and big discounts.
But do not rush to accept any offer from travel agents. First, read the information about the proposed tour on the Internet, carefully read the contract, and most importantly - trust companies that have a complete set of necessary documentation.
If you prefer a "savage" vacation, then here you will also find many pleasant moments. In the velvet season, housing prices drop sharply, and food, souvenirs and other services will also be cheaper.
First, I must say about the western coast of Crimea. This option will suit those who prefer not to go far. There you will find excursions, low prices for food and accommodation, as well as a beautiful and still warm sea. As for the eastern coast, for example Kerch or Feodosia, it is better not to go there in the velvet season - cold currents already begin there in September. Also in Crimea all September you can enjoy grapes, peaches and watermelons.
Bulgaria is also a good holiday destination during the velvet season. Prices fall by half, and the sea remains warm until September 15th.
Italy, Cyprus and Greece seem to be set for a holiday in September.You will have a wonderful time, save a lot and calmly explore the country. You will be able to have a rest at sea in these countries until mid-October.
But Turkey will not please you with a decrease in prices, prices there begin to fall in the second mid-October.
Croatia is not very suitable, because there the velvet season begins in mid-August, and by the beginning of September it is already over. The sea becomes cold and will not allow you to stay on the coast for a long time. But if swimming in the sea is not very important for you, then you can perfectly relax in this country.
In Egypt, the velvet season starts late. In September, the heat has not subsided yet, it is worth going there in early October.
People have different approaches to the issue of recreation. Young people are unlikely to like the velvet season. Most of the entertainment and noisy establishments, such as discos, bars, etc., are closed, and those that continue to work are becoming less crowded and fun.
Those who love outdoor activities will be bored, because entertainment centers and water parks are also closed by September.
Therefore, we can say that a vacation in September-October is ideal for couples who are resting without children, single travelers, people who go to the sea not for noisy and fun pastime, but for inspiration, for example, artists.
But until you try it yourself, you will not understand whether this is your holiday in the velvet season.
