Peak Season

JUNE - AUGUST

Best Experience
Feels LikeSummer
Temperature22 โ€” 31ยฐC

Full Mediterranean summer with packed beaches and heat that demands early mornings; accommodation prices peak and the SITA bus runs at capacity.

Shoulder Season

APRIL - MAY

Budget Friendly
Feels LikeSpring
Temperature14 โ€” 22ยฐC

Warm, uncrowded, and in bloom โ€” the coast road is drivable and terraced lemon groves are at their most vivid before summer heat sets in.

Shoulder Season

SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER

Budget Friendly
Feels LikeAutumn
Temperature17 โ€” 26ยฐC

Sea temperatures hold warm through October while crowds thin sharply after the Italian Ferragosto window, making this the most comfortable window for the coast.

Off Season

NOVEMBER - MARCH

Avoid
Feels LikeWinter
Temperature7 โ€” 14ยฐC

Many hotels and restaurants shutter completely; the town returns to its fishing-village rhythm with dramatic cliff light and near-empty promenades.
