So April is a great time for sailing, the weather is mild and the seas are relatively calm, making it the perfect time for visitors to explore some of the most beautiful parts of the country. May and October are very similar to the month of April, however, have a few minor differences and could suit some more than others. May is almost identical to April in terms of weather conditions and atmosphere. However, going into late May the islands begin to liven up, as well as the sea temperature which makes swimming slowly take over as the favored pastime of tourists and locals. Most venues, taverns, and stores would have fully opened by the end of May, and the islands begin to operate in full swing.
Going into October resembles the month of April in the sense that the massive crowds have left, allowing for easier access to popular spots in different locations, and the chance to be more intune with the natural vibes of the islands. Hiking the many paths available, once again becomes a pleasant experience seeing as the scorching summer heat has passed, and accessing certain archeological sites and natural wonders will be much easier with the absence of large crowds. As far as swimming goes there are still many sunny days in October, however the sea temperature may be too cold for some, and a wetsuit is a good idea for those who want to make sure they get some swimming in.
