Climate and weather
The islands have a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and dry, hot summers, though tempered slightly by the sea. Rainfall occurs in autumn/winter, which is also a windy period. Late spring and early autumn are good times to visit, as is summer (though it can be crowded and prices rise) for those prioritizing beach time.
