You can often find more competitive rates for single rooms in local guesthouses or bed and breakfasts, and public transport, while limited, will be less busy.

Families might also appreciate the shoulder seasons for their milder temperatures, which are ideal for exploring the rugged coastline and nearby historical sites without the intense heat or the higher costs associated with school holidays.
