I was there in early November about 4 years ago. The weather was temperate. You could wear shirt sleeves in the day most of the time and sweaters or jackets at night. I was only in the west.

They do suggest that foreigners drink only bottled water and no fountain juices.

The food was pretty similar to other mediterranean foods – most like Greek food – lot’s of tomatoes, eggplant, olives, etc. It was all delicious.

The people I met were all delightful. Many of the shopkeepers, restaurant workers, etc., spoke English as well as several other languages, so communication was not much of an issue. However, learning a few words was much appreciated.

There is so much to see, I hope you have a great time!
