Any places in the Mediterranean where you can swim most of the year?

Our take

Are you dreaming of swimming in the Mediterranean year-round? With its diverse climates, the Mediterranean offers various spots where you can enjoy warm waters without a wetsuit from late March to November. Many travelers seek experiences in southern regions like Israel and Egypt, known for their warmer swim seasons. Meanwhile, northern destinations such as France and Croatia have shorter swim seasons. If you're open to lighter clothing or heated outdoor pools, you'll find plenty of options to soak up the sun and enjoy the water.

I already looked at average air and water temperatures. I'd like to hear from people's experiences. Of course the Mediterranean is a vast region with different climates. Are there places where the water is warm enough to swim - without a wet suit - from about late March to late November? By warm enough I mean about 12°?

Or maybe if the water is cool but you can wear clothing like light cotton pants and tops during daytime? Swim in an outdoor heated pool?

Specifically referring to the Mediterranean, not nearby bodies of water like the Red and Black Seas and the Atlantic. Would the weather be warmer in the south like Israel and Egypt? When does the swim season begin in the northern parts like France and Croatia?

Thank you in advance.
