When should I go?

For warm weather without the summer crowds, May and September are ideal; you’ll get sunny days, swimmable seas, and better value. July and August bring peak heat and energy, perfect if you love a lively atmosphere and buzzing beach clubs. Visit in winter for a quieter, more local side of the island, with cool breezes and empty streets made for slow exploring.
