The weather: it is summer and it can get quite warm and humid. We recommend light, conformable clothing. You will be staying in comfortable accommodation with air conditioning. On tour the countryside is undulating and hilly. Many of the hill towns have their historical centres closed to traffic and therefore some walking is required. You should expect to stroll leisurely for up to an hour with many breaks for sightseeing, coffee and a taste of the local produce. The program appears to be full; however it is mixed with long restful lunches and leisure time for your enjoyment and comfort. You will have plenty of time to enjoy the beach and the sun. An umbrella on the foreshore is available for your use. If you need to, you can always take time off from the organised program.
