Field notes
Mediterranean (Dodecanese) — meaningfully warmer than the Cycladic islands because of the southern Aegean position (close to Turkey). Summer (June–August, 25–27°C average, peaks above 35°C) is hot and dry. Winter (December–February, 13–15°C average) is mild and the wettest stretch. Sea-water temperatures stay swimmable May–October.
