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
