When is the best time to visit the Mediterranean?

Summer is the most popular time to visit the Mediterranean, but we recommend taking your Mediterranean trip in the shoulder months of May and June or September and October.

During these months, in spring and fall, you can enjoy the warm Mediterranean temperature but with a more comfortable ambiance for city tours, sightseeing, and visiting the famous beaches. The shoulder season offers a more authentic and open experience with fewer tourists. The weather and smaller crowds are great for exploring the coastline and famous places in Italy, Croatia, Greece, Spain, Portugal, and France in May and early October.

While these months are our favorites, the region's mild temperatures make the Mediterranean a year-round destination, with summer and winter incredible for their own reasons.

Whether traveling as a family to Sicily in June or touring Morocco in December, our guide on the best time to visit the Mediterranean can help you find the right month for your trip.

Where should I visit in the Mediterranean?

From the ruins of Rome in Italy to the elegant coastline of the French Riviera, there is much to explore around the Mediterranean from one country to the next.

What should I do in the Mediterranean?
