It really doesn't make a lot of difference - you're asking us to tell you what's happening in an entire country 10 or 11 months in advance without us knowing what you're interested in.
Buy a guide book, do some research about what festivals or events happen when, read some of the older posts on here which discuss many of the obvious tourist attractions , draw up an itinerary and then ask for advice.
Otherwise everything is just too vague.
But do take the advice that everyone has already given you on here and don't waste your valuable holiday time behind the wheel.One green field looks very much like another and there are an awful lot of them.
