Cyprus and Rhodes Offer Warm Sea Temperatures in September

Cyprus leads the region in September sea warmth, with coastal water temperatures around 26‑27 °C and daytime highs often reaching 30 °C. The island’s eastern shore, especially Fig Tree Bay near Protaras and the famous Nissi Beach near Ayia Napa, provides reliable warm swimming conditions, while Cape Greco offers rocky coastlines and sea caves for a different experience.

Rhodes also delivers pleasant early‑autumn weather, with daytime temperatures near 28 °C and sea temperatures of 25‑26 °C. Popular beaches include the sandy Tsambiku, the long stretch at Faliraki, and the smaller, picturesque Anthony Quinn Bay. The medieval town of Lindos and the white‑washed houses of its harbor add cultural appeal to the beach setting.
