How June compares with May and July
May is still spring, so the weather is cooler and the sea is cooler too. However, it depends on your preferences; it is a quiet month with fewer tourists.
In July, summer is in full swing. The island is much busier with tourists; temperatures are higher and the sea is warmer.
That said, if you are the kind of person who enjoys peace and quiet and cooler weather, ideal for hiking and diving, travelling in March could be perfect for you, as it is low season and there are very few tourists.
