The sea is also warm enough for swimming, and you'll find it easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants and find quieter spots on the beaches.For visitors who enjoy a lively option and don't mind warmer temperatures, the peak summer months of July and August offer the warmest weather and a full calendar of local festivals and events. However, this is also the busiest time, with higher prices for accommodation and more people at the main attractions.
