Where is it hot in March? Where to bask on the beach in early spring? Where to buy a cheap ticket

Despite the fact that it is already the beginning of spring, it can be difficult to see this change of seasons in the open spaces of Russia, everywhere there are still snowdrifts and a cold wind. Therefore, many vacationers choose March to leave the winter as early as possible, spend their vacation at sea, and arrive in real spring, when drops with streams are everywhere.

After the holidays, you meet your home summer with a summer high spirits and a bronze tan and prolong your vacation already at home 🙂 And I will tell you more about the advantages and disadvantages of a spring vacation at sea.

You can relax in March starting from RUB 23,516 per person 🙂 (pick up and buy a tour right now by the link in just 5-10 minutes, including by installments, rest first, then pay! 😉)

After the long winter months, our body is in desperate need of vitamins, which can be fully replenished in beach resorts in March. In addition, March in Russia is the season of colds, and a spring vacation at sea will just allow the body to get stronger before returning home.
In spring, beach tours are quite cheap (only from 23 516 rubles per person) compared to the high summer season. So there is an opportunity to have a good rest on the sea and decently save money.
It is still not very hot at the seaside resorts, the air and water temperatures are very comfortable, the weather allows you to sunbathe and swim, as well as attend numerous excursions.

A sharp change in climate may not strengthen the body, but rather undermine health and exacerbate chronic diseases. So be careful, allocate a couple of days for acclimatization.
Also, a sudden change in diet can adversely affect the digestive system. So take action here, do not lean on the local cuisine right away. At least let your body adapt for at least a couple of days.
There is a high risk of catching spring depression, especially when you plunge back into a routine, gray reality from a paradise place. According to statistics, 2/3 of the population suffers from this melancholy. Therefore, enjoy every moment on vacation, gain impressions for the whole year.

Cuba

Cuba is always good! March is considered a dry month, but the weather on the island is impossible to predict, so surprises in the form of a downpour are not ruled out. Tropical sun, fruits, many smiles, diving - all this is waiting for its admirers. The eternal holiday that Cuba gives is impossible to forget.

In the 21st century, it is no longer necessary to take a vacation in the summer to soak up the rays of the hot sun, sunbathe, swim in the sea. At any time of the year there is a "warm place".

Let's see where to relax, say, in March 2020 abroad? Inexpensive beach holidays, when it is still cold at home, and even a blizzard is not a rare guest, are offered by many countries.

Goa - "non-Indian" pearl of India

Tourists are waiting for subtropical winter. During the day, swimming in the sea (up to + 28), sunbathing on the beach (from +32 to +34), or at night (+28), inhaling the fresh sea air, you don’t want to remember that you will soon have to return to the dank March spring.

March is the end of the “high season”, there are fewer vacationers, prices for tours are noticeably reduced. A great opportunity to celebrate Women's Day (March 8) by going for a few days in the summer.

India is a country of contrasts

south coast with well-groomed beaches, clean calm sea. Impeccable service, measured rest - what is required for the elderly or families with children.
the northern part is more suitable for young people as a budget option. Despite the poorly developed infrastructure, constant surf with muddy waters, dark volcanic sand, active tourists do not get bored. Surfing is the main entertainment for the pros (Twin Peaks, Ashvem Rock) and beginners (Shanti, Aoambole, Kivis).

Going to Goa, one must mentally prepare for some unpleasant features. Yes, the beaches and the sea are amazing. Soft, powdery, silvery sand; azure (almost calm) sea; well-developed tourist service of the south.

Fun, noisy parties, nightlife of the north. Holidays, festivals, exotic...

And dirty streets littered with garbage, the poverty of the local population, chaos on the roads ...

Fabulous holidays in the UAE

A country where 365 days is summer. Coral reefs, amazing nature, volcanic lakes with crystal water… and ubiquitous sand, sometimes white, sometimes bright yellow, sometimes unusually red. 50% of tourists choose the emirate for a holiday based on the color of the sand.

This country has everything. But if something is missing, it will definitely appear. It seems that it is worth rubbing the "magic lamp" and every wish of the guest will come true.

March is a temporary bridge between the "winter cold" and the summer heat of the subtropics. In the Emirates, this is especially felt. Daytime heat (+25 - +27) changes to night coolness (+20 - +23).

Not everyone likes to swim when the water warms up to +30. Much more pleasant is the slightly cool water of the Persian (+23) or Oman (+21) gulfs in the first spring month.

As April approaches, summer is in full swing.

The beaches are almost free - the tourist season will begin very soon. In the meantime, you can enjoy a sea holiday relatively inexpensively.

On the territory of such a small state, summer lovers are waiting for resorts, each of which is unique.

Most famous

Sharaj;

The United Arab Emirates will appeal to every traveler. "Minus" - only the prices for tours.

Bali - the island of two seasons

Yes Yes. The Indonesian island has only two seasons:

dry, from April to October,
the rainy season, which ends in March.

Thanks to the equatorial monsoon climate, there are no sharp fluctuations in temperature. Even the time of sunset (18.00) and sunrise (6.00) is the same all year round.

New Year's Eve in Bali is not necessary. Although the "Day of Silence" - a local New Year's holiday - in 2020 (March 7) almost coincides with March 8. Therefore, going there is a great decision.

The rainy season is coming to an end, and the sweltering dry heat is yet to come. You still have to grab an umbrella - it is not easy to predict the weather on this capricious island.

March is considered the off-season. If you are not lucky with the weather (it rains every day), then in a few hours a speedboat will take tourists to Gili - the neighboring islands, where it is sunny at this time.

"Pros and cons"

Warm weather, water "like fresh milk", not too many tourists yet, more chances to book accommodation upon arrival, tours are cheaper.
There are not many disadvantages, but they are significant. Due to the high humidity, not all people feel comfortable in such a climate.
Since the "high season" will begin in April, the beaches cannot boast of cleanliness. Especially in Canggu and Kut. Lots of garbage in the ocean.

The best for a holiday in March are the resorts of Sanur or Nusa Dua.

The country of the "Main Earth Pyramids" - Egypt

98 percent of earthlings think so, although not only this country is “rich” in pyramids.

Not the most ideal choice for a vacation in March would be Egypt, familiar to lovers of beaches and the sea.

Sandstorms are a problem. A strong desert wind with dusty clouds covers almost the entire territory. The air temperature (although there is very little air left) instantly rises to +40 degrees.

On the coast, where most resorts are located, it is more calm - dry winds with sand (khamsins) rarely get there. Usually, windy weather calms down in the second half of March. If you want to relax on the Red Sea, then you don’t have to choose.

You need to go north.

Taba;
Sharm El Sheikh;
Dahab;
Marsa Alam;
Naama Bay;
Luxor.

Although it is cool at night in the Sinai Peninsula (up to +17), the summer temperature is kept during the day (+25). Water after the "winter cold" only begins to warm up (+22- +24).

The temperature in the Gulf of Aqaba is slightly lower. It is warmest in Marsa Alam - during the day up to +28 degrees.

In March, impatient vacationers open the swimming season. Especially if the hotel is located next to a closed bay.

The mountains surrounding Sharm el-Sheikh perfectly cover it from the winds. But the prices of this resort "bite".

In the off-season, tours to Egypt are not too expensive, although for "state employees" (up to $ 200), forced to rest in March, other seaside resorts are more suitable.

Tropical Dominican Republic

In the Dominican Republic, March is the final month of the high season. The weather is not too hot (up to +30), the sea on the coast is very warm - +26, and the ocean is a little cooler - +25 degrees. There are no strong winds, but a light breeze is refreshing.

In the first month of spring, the carnival is still going on and preparations are underway for the Easter holidays.

The most popular holiday destinations in early spring are Sosua and Cabarete, where comfortable conditions for guests are created.

Other resorts

Paragraph-kan;
Puerto Plat;
La Roman;
Bayabi.

Everywhere tourists will enjoy the snow-white soft sand of the beaches, warm water. Terrestrial landscapes in beauty argue with the views of the underwater world. Exotic fruits, national cuisine, fishing, diving, humpback whale mating…

Since April, the temperature and humidity of the air have risen sharply. Therefore, March is the best month for a vacation in a tropical paradise.

If you can say about the "cons", then:

too much sun. You can’t do without a wide-brimmed hat, a beach umbrella and a protective cream;
"Last-minute" tours are far from affordable for everyone;
operators offer rest starting from six days.

Where to go in March with a child

You can arrange an unforgettable vacation for your child not only in the summer. It is much more interesting to go to the summer when it is still cold, wet and snowy at home. For such a trip, March is suitable - the time of spring break.

Modern sea resorts, with rare exceptions, are perfectly equipped for families with children. Developed infrastructure, well-established nutrition, special children's programs, recreation areas and clubs for children of all ages are offered even by "beginners".

For example: a holiday in Thailand in March, despite a long flight, is one of the best options for families with children. Many hotels do not charge for children under the age of five.

With kids, you need to select tours with a short flight time (up to five hours). These are Egypt (4.5 hours), UAE (5 hours), Turkey (3-4 hours). It is easier with teenagers - travel time does not play a decisive role.

It is important to take into account the interests of the child - hiking, excursions, adventures, festivals. Few of the children will agree to sunbathe all day on the beach for a week or two.

It is not advisable to take children to the sea for two or three days in March. A sharp change in climatic conditions requires several days to adapt.

Where to relax in March without a visa

In continuation of the list of countries with excellent beach resorts, we will name five more where you do not need to apply for a visa to enter.

Thailand

In this country, March is the time of the “velvet season”. Therefore, more than a million tourists from Russia prefer to relax in the south of Thailand.

The weather is summer (+32 - +34), but without the exhausting heat. Rains do not bother, but only refresh the heated air and last a couple of hours. It is cool at night in the mountains (+14), in the rest of the territory it is warm (+25 - +27 degrees).

The water is so warm (+28) that you can swim for hours without going ashore. This is a real paradise for children. If you add here a large number of excursion routes, historical monuments, elephant riding, then this is the best place to relax.

Couples also like to relax in March in Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui ... or any other resort.

For those who can't stand the heat, it's better to spend a vacation on Koh Samui, Koh Chang, Hua Hin, Phatang. Temperatures are higher in the south.

There are already a lot less noisy tourists, as the main season is coming to an end. Accordingly, the prices for tours are reduced (up to 50%) compared to the winter period.

Sri Lanka - blessed land

Washed by the Indian Ocean, the Lacadive Sea and the waters of the Bay of Bengal, the island is located just eight hundred kilometers from the equator. This gives the right to the name "Blessed Land".

Tropical warm climate (+28 - +32) causes one season - summer. Blue seas and blue skies frame the colorful scenery of the island. Against the background of bright greenery of all shades, flowers of the most unique colors and shapes sparkle.

For those who most of all love to soak up the rays of the gentle sun - a luxurious coastline, where the beaches are covered with clean soft yellow sand. The average annual water temperature is +26 degrees.

If you want coolness - Sri Lanka offers tourists to climb the mountains. There the temperature (in winter) drops to +10.

March on the island is the last month of the "high season". Only at the end of the month, vacationers can be disturbed by rains.

The best beaches

in Tangalle;
Mout-Livinsky;
in Negombo;
in Kalutara.

There are always many guests there. Revival periodically subsides due to the hyperactivity of the sun.

When choosing a tour to Sri Lanka, you should definitely take care of one or more excursions around the "Cultural Triangle".

In addition, March is a great month for holidays with children of middle and high school age. It is best to choose Unavantuna, where the sea is calmer.

"Cons" of holidays in Sri Lanka:

an ETA (electronic travel authorization) is required;
long flight time;
not very comfortable with small children.

Exoticism and contrast of Vietnam

The shape and landscapes of Vietnam determine the contrast of the climate in different parts of the country. When it's hot in the south, people in the north are forced to dress warmly.

In March, a "climatic truce" begins - the air temperature levels off - it becomes warmer every day throughout the country.

But it is better to go to the central or southern regions in order to fully enjoy the hot sun.

The best places to stay

Vungtwu;
Ho Chi Minh City;
Phan Thiet;
Fukoku;
Condao…

The temperature there rises to +34 degrees.

For lovers of a more temperate climate, Mui Ne or Nha Trang are suitable. Divers are attracted to Da Nang. And next to Hoi An is the most attractions.

Mexico is a Maya country

A vacation on the Pacific coast or the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico in March is a complete summer vacation. Tourists will not be bothered by tropical downpours, sweltering heat, or hurricanes.

The air temperature in Acapulco during the day is +33, at night - +22, and in Huatulco - during the day +35, but at night it is cool - +22 degrees.

You can endlessly list the amazing names of Mexican resorts:

Yucatan;
Isla Mujeres;
Veracruz;
Chihuahua…

Even where it is cool in the evenings, it is warm enough during the day. The average temperature of the Caribbean Sea is +26 degrees.

The sights of the country are as amazing, mysterious and "unexplored" as the names of cities and resorts. Therefore, excursions are indispensable.

Mexico offers holidays "for every taste and budget" ... but in March, the "purse" should be "weighty" - the time of the "high season".

March is not the most popular month for holidays. It is at this time of the year, when the body is exhausted by beriberi, and it is still so long before the heat, it's time to pack your bags and go to warmer climes. Where can Russians go to relax at sea in March without a visa in 2020?

Not surprisingly, many prefer visa-free destinations: no need to collect documents, waste time and worry about whether a visa will be refused. The financial issue also plays an important role: if an average visa costs 40-50 dollars, in terms of a family, a decent amount is obtained.

There are countries where a visa is not required or can be obtained upon arrival.

Egypt

The country, which still will not be opened for organized tours, the Russians still cannot forget. Egypt has many fans. Even now, some people prefer to travel by regular flights, but do not change their favorite Red Sea resorts.

Such love is understandable. In the cold season, it really was the most budget vacation. Of course, there were complaints about the service, but all the inconveniences were compensated by the excellent price, all-inclusive meals and a good choice of hotels. The language barrier in Egypt is also quite conditional.

You can get to it faster than to other exotic resorts. Even if there is no vacation, you can go on the weekend, for example, on March 8th. If you fly there on March 5, you will get an excellent mini-vacation at sea.

True, March is not the best time to relax in this region: it is noticeably cool in the evenings, and besides, there are often sandstorms. But the daytime temperature is quite comfortable, you can perfectly swim, sunbathe and enjoy seafood.

Thailand

This country has long been chosen by thousands of Russian tourists.

The main advantage can be called an acceptable cost: now, among the winter destinations, this is perhaps the most budgetary place.

Only India can be called an affordable alternative, but you cannot get there without first obtaining a visa or at least electronic permission. .

However, apart from the price, Thailand has something to surprise and please tourists:

March is a very good time to visit this country. At this time, the tourist season ends and prices begin to fall, but there are no tropical rains yet. The sea in Thailand is always warm, so this is a great place to relax with children. In addition, in March you can get to the Kite Festival, which takes place throughout the country.

Vietnam

The country is roughly in the same price category as Thailand. Vietnam is preferred by lovers to relax quietly, as well as families with children. Fans of water sports should also fly here, for example, in the resort of Nha Trang - excellent diving.

Even if there is no suitable group tour for the price, it is quite possible to visit the country on your own.

Arriving in this country, you can visit:

Ancient architectural structures.
Garden of Ho Chi Minh.
The old part of Hanoi.
Palace of Independence.
Resort Dalat.
Restaurants, clubs.

There are a number of downsides:

Unsanitary conditions.
Tours are expensive.
Few Russian speakers.
The local cuisine is very spicy.
Poor road quality.
Long flight.

UAE

Fans of this country, as if descended from the pages of oriental fairy tales, were in for a surprise after the New Year holidays: the authorities canceled visas for Russians. In the spring it is quite comfortable to relax here. The sea may not warm up so much, but there is no sweltering summer heat and you can finally see all the sights.

Beach holidays here are not among the cheapest, after all. But it will not be sky-high either, there are many high-quality 3-star hotels here. It is also a paradise for shopping lovers.

True, it is difficult to find goods for a pittance in the UAE, but high-quality clothes, equipment, jewelry can be bought at very reasonable prices.

When is it better to go on vacation in the UAE at sea in the video.

Maldives

This country cannot be called a budget holiday option, but it is worth the money spent. Such a turquoise sea and the palm trees leaning over it from the Bounty advertisement cannot be found anywhere else.

But this is a great place for a romantic getaway, and SPA centers at local hotels are considered among the best in the world.

Bali Island (Indonesia)

This exotic place is a real oasis of peace. There is beautiful nature, friendly locals and the endless ocean. Spring is a good time to visit the country, but you need to take into account some of the nuances.

Mexico

This amazing country is now available for Russian tourists. Previously, it was required for the Russians, and it was very difficult to issue it, which was insisted on by a rich and influential neighbor represented by the United States.

Now, for Russians and Ukrainians, it is enough to fill out a simple questionnaire on the consulate website and receive an electronic entry permit online within 24 hours. It is issued for up to 180 days.

It's really worth a trip to Mexico. The beaches there are gorgeous, it is no coincidence that the country like a magnet attracts tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world. The most famous resort is Cancun. Nearby are smaller tourist towns - Tulum and Playa del Carmen.

The water in this place of the Caribbean is an unreal color, and the sand is fine and white as powdered sugar.

The only, but significant minus for a Russian tourist is high prices. The proximity of the United States makes itself felt, so there is nothing to think about living in Cancun on a budget, unlike, say, Southeast Asia. A double room in a three-star hotel will cost about $100, about the same as dinner in a restaurant.

You can save money only if you stay not in the tourist part of the city, but in the one where the Mexicans themselves live. True, you will have to go to the beach by bus or taxi.

For a more sophisticated getaway, welcome to Mexico's Pacific Coast. The well-known resorts of Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta have long been chosen by bohemians, who treat the motley resort public of Cancun with some disdain. The beaches here are inferior to the Atlantic ones, but it is the atmosphere of this region that attracts many.

Another option for a beach holiday, unknown to Russian tourists, is the Gulf of Mexico. The water in it does not have such an azure color as in Cancun, but it is just as clean, and the sand is no less snow-white. Mexicans themselves rest here, plus a small percentage of informed Europeans.

In the resort town of Progresso, which is located on the bay, there are many inexpensive apartments for rent and beautiful houses of well-to-do Mexicans. It is best to eat in coastal restaurants "palapas" under thatched roofs. Fresh seafood here is three times cheaper than in Cancun.

Of course, it's rather strange to come to Mexico and not visit anywhere but the beach. No matter how good it is at sea, there is also a very colorful Mexico City, unique Mayan and Aztec pyramids, Indian markets where you can buy souvenirs for a penny ... In general, it’s hard to say what Mexico doesn’t have.

Dominican Republic

Flight to the Dominican Republic from Moscow

Cons of rest at this time:

The weather is sometimes capricious.
Long flight.
In the evenings, it is better not to go beyond the boundaries of your recreation area.

E-Visa entry to Sri Lanka and India

There are several countries with a warm sea for a beach holiday, where entry permits can be obtained via the Internet. issued in 2-3 days. can be received within 12-48 hours or upon arrival at the country's airport.

The rules for entering India with an e-Visa can be found in this detailed video.

India (Goa)

Goa is most suitable for a beach holiday, because travel is not very pleasant due to humidity. The weather at this time is quite hot, so many people advise to go here in early March, while it is comfortable to be outdoors. .

This resort is known for its beaches, Ayurveda and yoga centers. Here you can visit Hindu temples, waterfalls, try local cuisine rich in spices. are two different worlds. The first one has a more developed infrastructure for entertainment, the second one is a quieter area for recreation.

Where to go on holiday in March/April? Where to go to relax at sea in March / April, go on a sightseeing tour to Europe, excursions in Russia and Moscow. Top 3 countries for a budget holiday at sea.

April is a transitional month. The main winter destinations for seaside holidays, such as India (GOA), are becoming less comfortable in terms of climatic conditions, the humidity level is rising, and it is getting hotter. At the same time, Mediterranean resorts, such as Italy, Spain, Turkey, cannot yet please the tourist with warm water in the sea and the absence of wind. But this has its advantages, a little later I will tell you which ones.

I propose to figure out where you can still swim in the sea and where it is better to go on an excursion vacation, enjoy the awakening of nature, flowering and the first rays of the sun after a long winter.

UAE (United Arab Emirates)

Winter (if this period can be called that) in the United Arab Emirates smoothly turns into spring, in March-April. The water in the Persian Gulf will be warmer than in Oman (Emirate of Fujairah) and can warm up to 28 degrees.

To make sure you feel comfortable swimming and relaxing, as well as to get a minimum of rain, buy a ready-made tourist package to the United Arab Emirates from mid-March. The closer to the summer period, the hotter it is in the Emirates. Such super-hot weather will not be to everyone's liking.

Europe

Spring is the perfect time to visit the sights of European countries such as Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Greece, Cyprus. For example, I recommend visiting Venice - there is still no unpleasant smell from the canals and few people.

The Czech Republic is also an ideal place to relax: the first leaves on the trees bloom and snowdrops break through the thickness of the earth. If in March, the first leaves appear on the trees, then in April the Czech Republic turns into a blooming garden.

At the end of March - April, the air temperature in the Czech Republic, depending on the region of the country, ranges from +11 to +20 degrees during the day, and at night not lower than +8 degrees. The weather in March-April is already warm and sunny like in summer.

However, you need to take into account that the weather in the transitional season is very capricious, you never know if warm clothes will come in handy or if they will lie in your bag.

If for you Greece is a country only for a beach holiday, then this is absolutely not the case! The mainland of Greece is full of interesting and historical places that are worth visiting.

Thessaloniki is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, Pieria (the place where the ancient Greek Gods sat in the Olympic Riviera), Meteora (can be compared with Stonehenge in England, only on a larger scale).

Unlike the Czech Republic, in Greece the average temperature is already over 12 degrees in the shade and the weather is not so rainy.

The undoubted advantage of visiting the Mediterranean countries in the off-season is the inexpensive price of a vacation.

Holidays on the Red Sea

For those who are looking forward to the discovery of Egypt, but still can not wait, as well as for lovers of the Red Sea, with gorgeous coral reefs, there is an analogue - Jordan (Gulf of Aqaba) and Israel (Eilat).

But in fact, there is no alternative to the year-round Egyptian resorts, neither in price nor in seasonality. And yet, there are some places where you can go without a visa in the spring and snorkel in your beloved Red Sea.

Not everyone likes the Asian flavor and the long 11-hour flight. Also, there are still ardent fans of the All-Inclusive holiday, in other words, adherents of the "seal holiday". But not everyone can afford to plan a summer vacation (to Turkey, for example).

Let's talk about each resort in order:

Jordan (Aqaba)

Due to the location of the mountains around this resort, the air temperature throughout the year does not fall below +22 degrees, the average water temperature is +20 degrees.

You can get to Aqaba by buying a ticket to Amman or by charter flight as part of a package tour.

The wealth of the underwater world is the main attraction of the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba. In the northern part of the Gulf of Aqaba, the beaches are sandy, the closer to the south they are more rocky with coral reefs. There are beaches that belong to hotels, and there are also common ones where locals can relax.

Of course, the prices for holidays in Egypt and Jordan are not comparable, even though the sea is the same.

A tour to Jordan for 9-10 nights (2 adults) will cost at least 100 thousand rubles.

Israel (Eilat)

The average air temperature in Eilat is +26 degrees, the water temperature in the sea is +21 degrees.

Unlike its neighbor Egypt, in Israel you can book a hotel for breakfast or half board (breakfast + dinner), thanks to the developed infrastructure and transport accessibility in the resort area.

Despite the "antiquity" of this city, there are few sights in Eilat. Everyone comes here for the Red Sea, diving and snorkeling.

Unlike Aqaba, which is surrounded by a chain of mountains and is reliably protected from the wind, Eilat in March is characterized by winds (“hasmin”) that create discomfort when leaving the water. The weather in March in Eilat has a "sharply continental" character - the sun can warm up and become hot, as soon as it disappears behind the clouds - you want to put on a jacket.

In April, the sun begins to "bake", and as a result, the water in the sea warms up to 23 degrees. This month the humidity level is very low. For those who do not tolerate heat due to humidity - just right.

Therefore, if you are planning your trip to the Red Sea in April and do not know what to choose, I still recommend Jordan. According to the climate this month it will be more comfortable there. If you need resort infrastructure + excursions to Jerusalem, then Israel.

Although in Israel it is much more interesting - a variety of beaches for every taste and color: beaches where you can swim with dolphins, beaches with gorgeous reefs and marine life, a wild and protected beach.

TOP 3 countries for a budget holiday at sea in March-April

1. Turkey

When I flew to Turkey, on a business trip, I even managed to burn out. However, I did not dare to go into the sea, even in the hottest hours (from 12-00 to 14-00). Nevertheless, many tourists calmly swam in the sea, some even made a long swim. Of course, everyone has their own threshold of "temperature", in other words, someone is "frosty" like me, and someone is more hardened.

A huge plus of visiting Turkey in March-April, I think, is the price - there is a chance to relax in a quality hotel, where the food is delicious and the rooms are comfortable. The cost of rest in such hotels, in the summer season, just rolls over.

In addition, I would note the opportunity to take sunbaths and just breathe in the sea for health, finally go to the gym and warm up in the sauna.

But what about swimming? If you cannot, like me, go into the water of 20-21 degrees, there are always heated pools, indoor pools on site. In addition, many hotels have wind protection (a kind of awnings).

2. Tunisia

If you are considering Tunisia as a beach holiday in March-April, then I recommend that you opt for the island of Djerba. There the sea will be warmer by 2-3 degrees, and the weather will be less windy and rainy.

As in Turkey, for little money, you can choose a hotel with thalassotherapy, buy a course of healing with therapeutic mud and Tunisian clay, at a big discount.

And by the way, in April, fragrant strawberries are already ripening in Turkey and Tunisia.

3. Cyprus

This sunny island cannot but please its guests. It is worth coming here for the sake of delicious Greek cuisine, the gentle sun and the aromas of flowering orange trees.

Sea temperature will be about the same as in Turkey 20-21 degrees. I recommend entering the water from Nissi Beach, where the water is shallow and the water will be a little warmer.
