It must be noted that, according to the tourism calendar, the
first two weeks
in August
are when most people go for their
holidays. Generally July and August are
the busiest
months. We
mention this with regard to seeing cultural monuments and
UNESCO
protected
areas with greater ease and with less people
around.
