General Travel Tips

💡 Booking Tips

Book flights 2-3 months in advance for best prices. Shoulder seasons (spring/autumn) offer the best value for money.

🌍 Weather Preparation

Check weather forecasts a week before travel. Pack versatile clothing that works for temperature changes.

📅 Festival Calendar

Plan around major festivals and events. They offer unique experiences but also bring larger crowds.

🏖️ Beach Season

Water is warmest June-September. For comfortable swimming, visit May-October. Winter water is too cold.
