It is a perfect day trip for those who want to balance their beach time with a touch of exploration.

Getting there and when to go

Getting to your holiday is straightforward, with regular flights operating from major UK hubs like Manchester and Liverpool.

In terms of timing, the season generally runs from late spring through to early autumn. If you prefer avoiding the peak heat of July and August, late May or September are excellent times to visit.
