April-May (Spring): Ideal weather with temperatures 20-25°C, wildflowers blooming, and fewer tourists. Perfect for exploring archaeological sites without midday heat intensity.
September-October (Fall): Pleasant temperatures 25-28°C, sea water still warm, and fewer crowds post-summer season. Excellent for beach and water activities.
July-August (Peak Summer): Hottest period (32-35°C) with maximum tourists. Beaches and attractions extremely crowded, but ideal for swimming. Plan indoor activities during peak afternoon hours.
November-March (Winter): Mild 12-16°C but frequent rain. Some attractions reduce hours; ferry schedules less frequent. Excellent for solitary exploration and local interaction.
Avoid: Mid-July through mid-August for crowds-averse travelers. Winter for beach activities.
