Clear blue skies and mild sunshine during the day. Nights were cool but pleasant. There were a few hot days, but overall it was bearable. There was no rain during my visit.
InezAlthough the nights were cool, daytime temperatures were very pleasant. Rare rain and lots of sunshine made this a wonderful vacation destination.
SanderIt is very hot here, the temperature exceeds 40 degrees. However, if you like hot and dry climates, this is ideal.
MariusSunny, but not too hot, perfect for sightseeing. However, the lack of beaches and the sea does not make this an ideal summer swimming destination. The heat required constant hydration, especially in the afternoon. Less suitable for outdoor activities. Temperatures ranged between -1° and -10°C. Despite the cold, the clear skies were breathtaking at times. Temperatures regularly rose above 30 degrees, perfect for a beach vacation. We enjoyed hours of swimming in the incredibly clear sea. Unforgettable!
