What February is like
February is still winter, with the coldest sea of the year, but the island starts turning green and almond trees flower. Expect a mix of bright, crisp days and grey, windy ones. Very few visitors, very few open businesses, and the landscape to yourself for walks and photography.
Swimming and beaches
The sea averages 16°C in February. Cold: brief dips or a wetsuit. Swimming is for those used to cool water; the coast is better for walks and photos this time of year.
What to pack
Layers, a windproof jacket and walking shoes. Swimming is only for the brave.
