Below are the best locations for a trip from March 19th to March 25th. We’ve taken into account rain, temperature, travel advisories for safety, and number of tourists in the area. In mid 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 19th to March 25th. The weather is somewhat 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. Seville, Spain
Due to the lower number of tourists, a trip to Seville in mid March tends to be much less expensive, and the weather couldn’t be better. This period of ideal weather comes after some less enjoyable seasonal weathe. If booking a longer trip, you’ll want to know that the weather will be almost as enjoyable for the next 30 days. Note that it can get busy here in other seasons.

4. Castellammare del Golfo, Italy
As with every place on this list, temperatures in Castellammare del Golfo 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 might not recommend visiting earlier than this, and the weeks following have weather that is as good as mid March.
