    Dear Lee, Thank you for the detailed feedback. Indeed, in November the season is almost over at many summer destinations in Greece, including Mykonos & Santorini. For travellers seeking busier and more crowded towns, indeed May through September would be a better period to travel. However, if you are looking for a piece of mind and want to enjoy the privacy and explore those destinations at a very low pace and on your own, March and November can be fantastic travel months. Warm Regards, Dot Travel Team
