Too cool for beach days, but the sun was shining brightly. Swimming in the sea was too cold. Perfect for being outside and enjoying everything. Ideal for a sun holiday. Definitely a 5-star experience. We had an average of 15°C, so too chilly for swimming. There were sunny and grey days, but it never really got summery hot. The sea water temperature was too cold for swimming. Nature was already starting to revive a bit, which made for nice walks.— This text is automatically translated to English
