🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a Mediterranean spring at its peak: daytime temperatures hover around +21°C (70°F) , dropping to +13°C (55°F) after sunset. What to wear: Layering is your best friend. Bring a light linen shirt for the day and a stylish blazer or denim jacket for the evening breeze. Footwear: You’ll be walking on cobblestones and coastal trails; opt for comfortable sneakers or the local favorite—leather sandals. Pro Tip: May is the peak of the blooming season—nature is vibrant, but if you have allergies, keep your antihistamines handy for the plane trees in the squares.
