What you gain in March

  • Spring flowers beginning on the terraced hillsides: wisteria and wildflowers between the lemon groves by late March
  • Hotels and restaurants reopening: more choice available than January–February, while prices remain at off-season rates
  • 15°C afternoons warm enough for exploring the coastal villages and hiking the lower trails comfortably

What you sacrifice

  • 72mm of rain still likely across the month — spring arrives gradually with some grey days mixed in
  • Sea still cool (15°C): swimming possible for the hardy, but not comfortable for most
  • Easter weekend (if in late March) brings the first significant crowd surge — accommodation fills fast for the long weekend
