Features of rest in Crimea in March

Rest in Crimea has always been popular with our tourists. Now the direction is experiencing a special rise. The Crimean resorts have developed infrastructure. The construction of new facilities is ongoing rapidly. If you have already been to Crimea, then you probably plan to come again.

Vacation does not always fall in the warm season, and if everything is clear with the summer season, then the question arises about spring, what to do in the resort, for example, in March. We offer many ready-made solutions for a comfortable stay in Crimea in early spring.

The sun, the sea, the beach - this is what many people think when they hear the word “Crimea”. Therefore, March does not attract tourists for recreation, since all this is still impossible. But coming to Crimea in the spring can be profitable, because:

• You can enjoy really beautiful, juicy and fragrant spring nature;
• a large number of people are missing;
• your wallet will not be so devastated as in the summer: renting housing and entertainment will be much cheaper.

March is the month when trees, grasses and shrubs begin to bloom in Crimea. You can enjoy the blooming snowdrops, hyacinths that grow high in the mountains with dream grass, chic pink almonds, luxurious magnolia and amazing henomeles (Japanese quince).

However, at the same time, frosts are possible at night, rare rains and cold harsh winds overshadow walks by the sea. In early March, the weather is unstable: rain is replaced by the sun and vice versa. It is usually cold at night, sometimes the temperature drops to 0 degrees. An umbrella and warm waterproof clothing will come in handy.

Air temperature depends on the climate.

• It will be warmer in the south - the weather warms up from +6 (at the beginning of the month) to +10 (at the end of the month), but there are often cloudy days. The good news is that there is no prolonged rain.
• In the center and in the north of Crimea the weather is cooler, cold winds blow and it rains. At night, a slight cooling is possible, and this is normal. Daytime temperatures are usually within +8 degrees. The only thing that overshadows the beauty of March is the cold wind, accompanied by dank rains.
• East Crimea It pleases with a large number of sunny days, rare rains and warmer weather - by the end of the month the air warms up to +16. But swimming is too early.
• West Crimea characterized by comfortable weather - the thermometer column reaches +9 degrees during the day with almost no rain. This is an ideal time for a spa holiday. Only a sharp wind blowing from the sea and cloudy days spoil the rest a bit.

The Black Sea warms up slowly. The temperature is kept within +8 degrees, which does not contribute to a comfortable bathing. Only walruses and people in special wetsuits can afford to swim in the March Sea.

It is best to relax in big cities. Holidays in the villages will be boring, as life here freezes from October to May.
