Before the busy holiday season starts, take advantage of this budget-friendly couples' getaway offer.

We haven’t even recovered from the summer vacation yet, and here we are already in mid-September. Just before we dive into the busy holiday season with financial expenses and family meals, it’s worth taking advantage of the last few weeks for some quality time as a couple.

The travel industry has long declared September as the ideal month for vacations. September is considered a particularly attractive month for travel, and it’s no coincidence. Autumn in Europe is the perfect time for a trip - the weather is pleasant, the crowds have dispersed, and the sites are less crowded with tourists. Additionally, prices during this period are particularly affordable, making September the ideal time to catch a luxurious getaway before the holiday season begins.
