- Spring (March–May) and early autumn (September–October) provide ideal weather with fewer crowds and lower accommodation costs.
- Winter months (December–February) bring substantial rainfall and cooler temperatures; plan indoor activities or waterproof gear.
- The Mediterranean climate ensures warm sea temperatures year-round (winter lows around 16°C (61°F), summer highs around 26°C (79°F)).
