European island tourism trends during shoulder season

Overview

Travelers are increasingly choosing the ‘shoulder season’ in Europe to avoid extreme heat and large crowds, seeking moderate temperatures and better value in countries such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, and Greece.

Destinations like Crete and Pantelleria have been highlighted for their appeal during this period. As the season progresses into October, several Mediterranean and Atlantic islands, including Ibiza, Sicily, and Gozo, continue to report summer-like temperatures between 25°C and 29°C. For those seeking to extend warm weather into November, options expand to include the Canary Islands, Madeira, and various global tropical locations.
