Pantelleria: When to Go

Pantelleria has a Mediterranean climate and year-round winds. Summer (June-September) is sizzling, with clear skies and little chance of rain. Winter is wetter and cooler. Shoulder seasons are an ideal time to visit: hikers come in spring (March-May) or autumn (October), or if you'd prefer to watch grape-harvesting in action, then come in September.
