It's superb for families looking to make the most of the summer holidays, with plenty of opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. While it's busier, the vibrant setting and guaranteed good weather make it a top choice for many.

For those who appreciate a slightly more relaxed pace without compromising on pleasant weather, late June or early September offers a fantastic alternative.
