The best period for a journey and how to organize it.
Piero recommends the months April-May-June and September-October.
At the top of summer season (July-August) Versilia becomes too much crowded and also the weather brings some days very warm.
For lovers of Carnival the period varies according to Easter: for example, 2014 (edition n. 141) the scheduled Sundays are Feb 16, 23 - Mar 2, 4, 9.
The days of sunshine a year on average 270. Sea water in summer reaches 30 °, the depth and salinity 3.85%.
According to the weather conditions (forecasts are 90% sure for next 3 days) Piero can plan the excursions based on “nature” and “art” according to your preferences.
It could even be preferable sometimes to dedicate a day to a sun-bath and a swim at the beach, or to bike along the coast or the pine-wood on special cycle tracks.
