All Months
April through June is perfect. Temperatures hit 22-26°C, wildflowers bloom across the countryside, and hotel prices stay reasonable. You can swim comfortably by May, and the archaeological sites aren't scorching hot yet.
September through November offers the sweet spot for many travelers. The sea's still warm from summer (around 24°C), crowds thin out after October, and you'll get those golden Mediterranean sunsets without sweating through them.
Avoid July and August unless you love 35°C heat and packed beaches. December through March stays mild (15-18°C) but many restaurants close, and you might hit rainy spells. Plus, sea temperatures drop to 18°C - fine for polar bears, less ideal for most humans.
