Below are the best locations for a trip from March 26th to April 1st. We’ve taken into account rain, temperature, travel advisories for safety, and number of tourists in the area. In late March each of these places are the perfect balance between temperate weather and smaller crowds, which also translates into better deals for tourists.

Because we’ve located areas and times where there is a greater chance for hotels/flights to be under capacity and weather is likely to be temperate and dry, the best time to book these 10 trips is usually within 1-4 weeks before travel.

1. Santorini, Greece

Santorini has perfect weather from March 26th to April 1st. The weather is almost as nice in the weeks before and ideal in the weeks after. Tourism in the area is somewhat slow during this time. Choosing Santorini this week is a great choice for anyone looking for nice weather and lower prices.

The graph below shows how temperatures feel given humidity (heat index) and wind chill. Tourist demand is usually the opposite of price: where demand is low prices are too. For Celsius: click the “best time to visit” link below the graphs.

3. Protaras, Cyprus

Due to the lower number of tourists, a trip to Protaras in late March tends to be much less expensive, and the weather couldn’t be better. This period of ideal weather comes after some similarly enjoyable weather. If booking a longer trip, you’ll want to know that the weather remains nice for the next 30 days. Note that it can get busy here in other seasons.

4. Funchal, Portugal

As with every place on this list, temperatures in Funchal feel excellent, rain is infrequent, and there are no travel advisories at the moment. Tourists looking for hotels and flights are uncommon during this time, so prices may be lower. Because it’s a little less common of a destination, massive crowds aren’t likely. We could also recommend visiting earlier than this, and the weeks following have weather that is almost as good as late March.

5. Tarifa, Spain

With far fewer travelers booking during this time compared to the busiest months, hotels and airlines will probably offer some incentives to stay during this period. This is a good time to visit, and the weeks beforehand are somewhat nice. If you’re planning to stay for more than a week, you can expect the weather to be almost as nice.
