The route can be ridden all year long, heatwaves may occur during the summer, fall to spring is the best time.

Plenty of other accommodation options. Each island is well connected to other islands by ferries and flights operated by local companies binter and canaryfly. The biggest islands have many direct flights to most European cities.
