Lara in November

April through June gives you warm weather without the crushing summer heat. Temperatures hover around 25°C, perfect for beach days and evening strolls. May is particularly sweet – fewer crowds, reasonable hotel rates, and the sea starts warming up. September and October extend the season beautifully. The Mediterranean stays swimmable through October, and you'll dodge the European vacation rush. Summer (July-August) brings 35°C+ heat and packed beaches, but also the fullest resort programming and liveliest atmosphere. Winter sees many hotels close or operate with limited services, though a few stay open year-round for off-season bargain hunters. Here's what locals know: late April and early October offer the best balance of weather, prices, and crowd levels.
