Breeze Flights From Akron, OH to Savannah, GA From $74*

Savannah is a beautiful city about halfway up Georgia’s coast between Florida and South Carolina. An underrated beach destination, it has balmy temperatures in the 70s and up from spring to fall. It’s also known for its rivers and wetlands dotted with mossy oak trees and other greenery. From Wormsloe’s lush gardens to Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge’s thick marsh grasses and marine life, the city is an outdoor lover’s paradise. Savannah is also close to Hilton Head Island and boasts a fine collection of tropical golfing spots. 

Start your day touring Savannah’s rich Historic District filled with Gothic and Greek-style mansions and brick-lined pedestrian walkways. Check out the Telfair Museums, featuring a massive collection of artwork and sculptures spanning the world and spread across a campus with three separate buildings. Admire the shiny spires and colorful stain glass of The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist. Make your way to City Market and peruse a quirky group of shops selling knickknacks and treats. Enjoy the views of the Savannah River as you watch fishing ships and paddle boats cruise by. A little outside of town, Bonaventure Cemetery is another neat spot to visit, a sprawling green space featuring historic grave sites and breathtaking foliage including bright flowers and draping trees. 

Next, head out to Tybee Island for some fun in the sun. Relax on the golden beach and enjoy the calm surf gently lapping the sand. On the less-developed western part of the island, you’ll find several little rivers and creeks snaking through marshland, a great opportunity to explore and see wildlife. Look for migratory birds, herons, ibis, and egrets along with dolphins, large fish, and the occasional alligator. Rent a kayak and paddle around the coastline or up Tybee Creek to get close to the action. Many will also find the island the perfect place for a quiet afternoon of sea fishing, whether from the shore or on a charter boat. Also make sure to visit the iconic striped lighthouse. Climb to the top for views of the ocean and visit the museum to learn about the area’s history. 

As it starts to get dark, head back to town to Forsythe Park to see the large fountain and surrounding greenery all lit up. Stop by River Street for delicious seafood and homestyle Southern cooking right on the water. You can also opt for a dinner cruise up the waterway instead. For a bit of evening entertainment, check out the Savannah Theatre. Opened in 1818, this historic building hosts various shows and performances nearly every night. Another popular activity in the city is a ghost tour. See a spookier side of town as you go for a late-night jaunt led by a guide.
