WEATHER CONDITIONS: April/May/Mid-June: Sunny spring weather with moderate winds for easier sailing. The air is filled with the scent of spring and the landscape still green and full of flowers. The sea, still a bit cool in April but starting to warm up from the beginning of May, is perfect for a fresh morning dip!
September/October: Autumn is a very pleasant season to sail, especially for those who do not enjoy the summer heat so much. The winds become more moderate again. Summer crowds make place for a quiet and peaceful period. The days become shorter, but end with the most enchanting sunsets. The sea, which has been warmed-up all summer, now has the ideal temperature for swimming.
