The island has a "transitional Mediterranean" climate, with slightly cold winters and pleasant summers tempered by the sea. However, it rains more or less year-round, though less in summer. Late spring and early autumn are good times to visit, as is summer (though it can be crowded and prices rise) for those who prioritize beach time.
