Top Winter Sun Holiday Destinations
 The first few months of the year are often the most gloomy, with the fun of the festive season behind us and the weather at its most dismal. It`s not surprising then that more and more people are choosing to take foreign holidays during the winter months in order to enjoy the warmer weather and holiday atmosphere on offer elsewhere. Whether you`re looking for a short beach break or a longer holiday, there are plenty of attractive winter sun options to suit. So read on for some inspiration and you could soon be packing your bags and leaving the woolly jumpers at home.
Just a short flight away is the beautiful Spanish city of Seville, which enjoys temperatures of around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius in the winter, with lots of clear sunny days. For those that associate Spain with bullfighting, flamenco and fiesta, Seville is the place to go to fulfil your fantasies. See the famous Cathedral, a symbolic representation of the city`s diverse history and visit the Alcázar to learn about Moorish artwork. Other nearby winter sun destinations worth considering are Tenerife and Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Located only 60 miles from Africa, this chain of islands is ideal for those seeking fun in the sun, with winter temperatures consistently exceeding 20 degrees. The long, sandy beaches are a major attraction but visitors to either island should take time to explore the fascinating volcanic history of the region.
 An interesting winter holiday choice is Tunisia, which enjoys winter temperatures in the mid to high teens. The island of Djerba is a popular spot for tourists. Cyprus is another top winter break destination, with mild temperatures and lots to entertain visitors of all ages. Limassol, Lefke and Famagusta are well set up to cater to the needs of tourists. Alternatively, the Greek island of Crete is considerably less crowded in winter, making it the perfect time to explore the charms of the island at a more relaxed pace. Rent a car and drive around the sights, chatting to locals as you go.
For those with the time and money to travel a little further afield, the top choices for winter sun are Egypt, the Seychelles and the Caribbean. Egypt`s coastal regions experience winter temperatures between 15-20 degrees Celsius and the Dead Sea resorts are excellent for diving and water sports. If you stay at Sharm el Sheikh, it`s well worth renting a car and spending a few days on a road trip to Cairo to explore the fascinating culture and history of that city.
If you have time, a truly uplifting winter break involves renting a car in or around London and taking the Channel Tunnel into France, heading south and stopping wherever takes your fancy. You can hire a car from any of London`s airports or several downtown locations so you could start the day at a car rental Stansted office and the very same evening, find yourself watching the sunset over the vineyards of Bordeaux. Spend a couple of weeks exploring the southeast of France, around Nice, Cannes and Saint Tropez for a memorable winter break that will feel a million miles from the daily grind.
