What is the best time to visit Perissa?

The best time to visit Perissa is from May to September. These months bring about a warm and inviting climate, ranging between 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Engaging in outdoor activities such as water sports and scenic hikes is particularly enjoyable during this season.
