Destinations in Europe in March 2023
- The Canary Islands in March are an ideal choice for warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine. If you are looking for a quiet island full of nature consider La Palma. It is a little different to the better known islands of Tenerife, Grand Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. It’s very mountainous, laid back and quiet with quaint towns, but still has gorgeous beach coves and fantastic weather. It’s soft sandy beaches are actually fine black sand due to it being an ancient volcanic island, meaning it’s rich volcanic soil allows for some truly stunning flora, pine forests and some great trekking. Or you will do well to choose any of the other islands for great activities, especially for the kids. With a multitude of hotels, bars and beaches you’ll find some cracking deals. The Canaries are known for their year round sunshine and its a pleasant 22°c / 72°f on average in March.
- If you are thinking of visiting Italy in March then its probably not going to be a beach holiday at 16°c / 61°f, but it’s a fantastic time to visit the major cities of Italy in March. Rome, Milan, Florence, Venice and Turin will be sunny and quiet, and one of the best times of year to visit all the top sights without being bogged down with crowds and queues. Service is better, hotel and flight prices are better and on the whole a very enjoyable month for city exploring. Yes you’ll have a few rain showers, and be cooler in the evening, but afternoons will be just right.
- Malaga: We all know Spain is baking hot in the summer months but Malaga in March can reach a warm and sunny 19°c / 66°f, so if you fancy a European getaway the pretty traditional spanish city rests on the clear blue Costa del Sol. Visit it’s many museums and galleries, sample local wine and cuisine and enjoy it’s culture and heritage wandering through it’s streets surrounded by gothic architecture mixed with modern, Malaga even has it’s own 15th century castle…all this and a beach?
- Crete is one of the favourite Greek islands being the largest and more southernly of the Greek Islands and often warmer. In March in Crete is beginning to warm up nicely at 20°c / 68°f. It’s often warmer than this but remember this is March and you can’t be expecting the same heat as it gets in May.

- Cyprus is one of those mediterranean destinations which remains hot for a lot of the year, Cyprus in March is warm and bright averaging 20°c / 68°f and getting warmer towards the end of the month.

It’s great weather for doing the more cultural sightseeing out of the searing heat of summer, explore it’s ancient capital Nicosia, enjoy driving the quiet roads across the island through the mountains, and search out the real Cyprus out of season and enjoy delicious meals in local tavernas rather than the typical tourist food joints.
North Africa
- If you’ve been wracking your brains for somewhere interesting, safe, as well as hot in March then why not head out to the Cape Verde Islands? It will be around 25°c /77°f warm and sunny.

The islands of Cape Verde are lower than the Canary Islands off the west coast of Africa, so an extra hour or so flight time.
