A paradise for sailors, yacht owners, diving enthusiasts and other water sports enthusiasts! In the cheaper and much quieter early season, you can expect bathing temperatures as early as mid-May. The untouched nature and the typical fishing villages in the area give this type of holiday a very special flair.
