The ninth month of the year and the first official month of autumn. Of course, in Greece and the islands in particular, autumn comes later, so September is simply considered a continuation of summer! September, as the name suggests (sept), was the seventh month in the Roman calendar. In Greece, it is also known as "trigitis” (=grape harvester) as vines are harvested and stored to make wine. In Santorini of course, which is located on the south and has a warm climate, harvest usually ends in mid to late August. Finally, September in Greece is connected with the beginning of the school year, as students return to their schools!
