Perfect weather is subjective. On this map perfect weather has been defined with temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 29°C (84°F) and not too much precipitation (less than 90 mm (3.5 in) a month).
Comfortable temperatures call for an easy wardrobe in August. Pack summer basics like t-shirts and shorts, but include a light jacket for cooler moments. A pair of comfortable walking shoes is essential. Wet weather is likely, so pack waterproof gear for multiple rainy days. Expect water temperatures of around 11°C (52°F), which is definitely too cold for comfortable swimming. Your luggage space is better used for other items. It won't hurt to bring your sunglasses along, as you'll see some sunny periods.
