September is the smartest month for a holiday: the sea is still warm, prices are lower and the crowds are gone. From Lviv the velvet season is closer than it seems: a ground trip to a Polish airport plus a low-cost flight puts you on the Mediterranean.
Where to go: Greece (Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete — the sea stays +24 into October), Spain (Barcelona, Alicante) and Italy (Rome, Bari) — all on direct Ryanair and Wizz Air flights from Krakow and Warsaw. Plan the airport leg by bus or train — routes below.
Closer options with no flight: Budapest with its thermal baths (night train), September Krakow without summer queues (bus or train), Vienna for a long weekend. Within Ukraine — the Carpathians: dry, warm and golden in September.
Times and prices are approximate — check the search above for live schedules and fares.
Low-cost fares (Ryanair, Wizz Air) rise as the date approaches — the cheapest tariffs go first, so 1–2 months ahead is optimal. Watch for sales: they run almost monthly, when a flight can cost as little as a bus.
