I definitely think it's too cold to swim in the sea in March. The sea was still pretty cold in the Aeolian Islands when I was there in May.<BR><BR>There was a post earlier this week by that person who posts with initials in caps who gives very good info about southern Italy. He/she said that hotels in cities in Sicily are open year-round, but that many hotels in seashore resorts are closed in the off season.

Phoebe,<BR>definitely too cold to swim, unless in an indoor heated pool. In March we wore polar fleeces, long trousers, scarves and, on occasion, rain jackets. The wind was quite cold.<BR>We found it a good time of year for travelling in Italy as we do lots of walking and we didn't get too hot but it didn't rain much either, but not a good time to go if you want to swim.<BR>Kay

Definitely too cold to swim in March. However, this past March we were in Amalfi/Sorrento for a week, and only needed a jacket at night. The rest of the time it was short sleeves, no jacket. Be aware that the weather does vary quite drastically from one week to the next at that time of year.
