Climate and Weather

The peninsula has a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and dry, hot summers—though tempered slightly by the sea. Rainfall is common in autumn and winter, which are also windy periods. Late spring and early autumn are ideal times to visit, as is summer (though expect crowds and higher prices) for those prioritizing beach time.
