During late spring, the island experiences warm, sunny days superb for exploring. The average temperature hovers around 20-25°C, making it comfortable for walking through the narrow streets and enjoying outdoor dining. The sea is also beginning to warm up, so you might even be able to take a dip. This period is excellent for couples who want to enjoy romantic strolls without the intense summer heat.

Early autumn offers similar delightful weather, with temperatures ranging from 22-28°C. The sea remains warm from the summer, ideal for swimming and boat trips around the island.
