It is very hot here, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees. However, if you like hot and dry climates, this is ideal.— This text is automatically translated to English
Sunny 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 varied 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 holiday. We enjoyed hours of swimming in the incredibly clear sea. Unforgettable!— This text is automatically translated to English
