Where should you go in Crete in march when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in Crete in march ranges from good to tolerable depending on the region and city.
The month of March is a pivotal month between winter and autumn. If the weather sometimes resembles the climatic conditions of the winter season, the climate throughout March in Crete improves as the days pass. Temperatures are still cool but due to a decrease in precipitation with only eight rainy days, the atmosphere is acceptable. However, warm clothes are of importance to be able to enjoy one's stay.
Acceptable Weather Conditions
From dawn to evening, the temperatures remain substantially the same. The feeling of freshness that is more marked in the mornings is less perceived in the middle of the day. The sun and its rays play an important role here. Indeed, every morning, the weather is covered until dissipation of the clouds towards noon hence the late appearance of the sun. It is necessary to take advantage of these few hours of sunshine to discover the island because the weather in Crete throughout March only gives way to cloudy thinnings.
