Best dates to visit Santorini from these options?

Based on what I am willing to pay for flights and availablity of where I want to Stay in Santorini, I have the following date options available. I would be spending the remainder of my time in Athens, afterward.

I was hoping for early-mid September but that doesn't seem to be an option based on what I mentioned above. I'm worried that Athens will be unbearably hot in August, even at the end of the month. But I want to boat and swim in Santorini and I worry that going that late in September will be too cold or have more unpredictable weather.

Out of the options, which would you recommend?

8/19 - 8/22
8/22 - 8/25
8/31 - 9/3 (most expensive of these options)
9/27 - 9/30

9/27 - 9/30. The sea will be lovely then.

During our September trip to Santorini, the weather was hot, but not unbearable. We were able to snorkel at that time.

Historical data show August likely to be well into the 90s; by late Sept it's mid 80s.

Having been there in late June to early July, I know I wouldn't go in August.

RS has no tours in Greece between July 7 and Aug 26. That should be taken as a big hint.

My vote is the late Sept dates out of the list you present.
