All Months
April through June brings perfect weather — warm days around 22°C and cool evenings ideal for cliff-edge strolls. The countryside explodes with wildflowers, and restaurant terraces reopen after winter.
September and October offer the best compromise between good weather and fewer crowds. Temperatures hover around 20°C, perfect for walking. The harsh summer heat has passed, but you'll still get plenty of sunshine.
Avoid July and August unless you enjoy 35°C heat and packed attractions. The sun reflects off those white buildings, making midday walks brutal. If you must visit in summer, plan indoor activities between noon and 5pm.
Winter (December-February) sees temperatures drop to 10°C, with occasional rain. Many restaurants reduce their hours, and the outdoor terraces close. But you'll have the town mostly to yourself, and hotel prices drop by 40%.
