  • July and August: Peak Season - These months are the busiest, as they coincide with European summer holidays. While the island is more crowded, it's also vibrant with cultural festivities and events.
  • September to October: End of Peak Season - As the peak season winds down, visitors can enjoy a quieter experience while still taking advantage of the excellent weather before the rainy season begins.
