- The period from late autumn until the end of winter. Mostly bright sun, clear sky, cool air.

- The period from spring to early summer. The temperature rises, accompanied by hot dryness. Nevertheless, during this period it is very comfortable: there is no stuffiness, the water is warm, the weather is comfortable. Perfect beach vacation.
