Summer: From June to August, the buzz starts. Yes, it’s hot (25-32°C), but the days are long. The social scene is lively, but you should expect the ports to be more crowded and the boat rental prices to be higher. If you like a lively environment, this period is perfect.
Autumn: Between September and November, the number of tourists decreases, the sea is still pleasant, the temperature is friendly (18-26°C) and the ports are generally more intimate. However, it is worth considering the variability of the weather. And the best thing: the crowds have already left, so the whole trip will have a much more intimate atmosphere. This is one of my personal favorites – you really feel like you have the sea to yourself.
Winter: If you are not the cold type, the period from December to February also offers opportunities. The weather is cooler (8-15°C), sometimes windy, but during the sunny periods you can take calm, shorter trips. You will encounter fewer boats and the prices are much friendlier. It is easily recommended for more experienced sailors.
