This period is ideal for couples who enjoy exploring the natural beauty of the island, hiking, and visiting archaeological sites without the intense summer heat.Early autumn offers similar advantages, with warm sea temperatures, comfortable air temperatures (around 22-28°C), and a more relaxed atmosphere as the peak summer tourist season winds down.
