We know summer isn’t over yet (in fact, it is a tropical 27 degrees outside AT HQ as we type this), but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start planning some autumn breaks. Even if you’re a pumpkin spice fiend, I think we can all agree that autumn weather in the UK is the worst, so any excuse to getaway for some October sun is good in our books. Our country of choice is a no-brainer – Greece – and we’ve rounded up the best spots to hit up this season. Yamas!
