Getting There and When to Go

Getting to the Mediterranean Region is straightforward, with frequent direct flights connecting major UK hubs to the local airport. The primary holiday season runs from late spring through to early autumn, with the peak months of July and August offering the hottest temperatures. If you prefer a slightly milder climate for walking around town or exploring the local sights, visiting during the shoulder seasons of May or October is an excellent choice.
