SHOULDER SEASON
(April, May, late September, October)

Best time is During shoulder season, the weather is fairly unpredictable. It could be summer weather one week, but rainy and cool the next. Naturally, the closer to summer, the better it will be.

Overall, spring and autumn are perfect for visiting the cities; they get VERY hot in the summer. In the islands, shoulder season means lower prices, lesser crowds and good conditions for hiking.
