The best time to visit this resort is definitely the summer period as you can’t do as many activities like sitting outside the cafes and relaxing on the beach when the winter period comes around. Temperatures tend to reach the high 20s and even the low-mid 30s throughout the summer months on a fairly consistent basis whilst the period between Autumn to Spring drops to the low teens. The summer period is also when most of the businesses dedicated to tourists are open and the resort is at its liveliest best.
