Best time to visit: Late June to early September is the most pleasant period, with milder temperatures, more ferry and flight options, and better conditions for hiking and boat excursions. Spring and autumn are cooler and quieter; winters are cold, windy, and can be stormy, with limited tourist services.. Longer daylight hours during this period help travelers recover from jetlag more quickly, as natural light is the strongest zeitgeber (time cue) for resetting your circadian rhythm.

Daylight hours vary dramatically, with summer offering extended daylight and winter experiencing very short days, which can impact sleep patterns and circadian rhythms.
