September in Attica, with extraordinary routes and authentic experiences!

September is probably the best month to visit Attica: it is also called “harvester”, since it marks the beginning of the grape harvest season, when the aromas of freshly cut grape and must dominate Attica’s vineyard. The weather is mellow and ideal for excursions in nature. Attica’s national parks, wetlands, waterfalls, coasts and islands are prettier than ever, offering serenity, colours and images that are hard to forget!

In East Attica, right at the heart of Attica’s vineyard, harvest is nature’s and people’s grand celebration.

An unforgettable journey into the aromas and flavours of Attica’s nature!
