October is a great time to visit Italy, as the weather is still pleasant and warm. The sea temperature is usually around 69°F, which is still warm enough for swimming. However, depending on your tolerance for cold water, you may want to bring a lightweight waterproof jacket for wet days and colder nights. The best places to swim in October are Bari, Tuscany, Venice, Genoa, Imperia, Levanto, Pescara, Portofino and Rimini.
The average sea temperature is 72°F, but it can range from 64°F to 74°F. If you're looking for a beach vacation, the best time to visit is usually from June to September. However, October has its own advantages: summer crowds are a thing of the past and accommodation and transportation prices are much more affordable compared to the busiest months of the high season. Two other must-see places in Trieste are Piazza Unita d'Italia and Miramare Castle.
Piazza Unita d'Italia is probably the most beautiful square in Italy that opens up to the Adriatic Sea. Miramare Castle is located in an impressive location right on the coast. In conclusion, October is still a good month to enjoy the warm weather in Italy, especially in southern Italy. The sea temperature is still warm enough for swimming, but it's not as hot as during the summer months.
