When the temperature drops below zero, the soul is especially in need of warmth and sunshine. Many people fly off in January and February to warm themselves in hot resorts. And some go to places where the winter keeps a comfortable temperature for walking in a light jacket. This article is about such destinations.

Palermo

We know Italy is closed for tourists, but on January 31 the rules will be revised and Italy may well reopen, so take note anyway.

Average January-February temperature: 13.6°C.

Sicily is not quite like the great Italy that lives in our imagination when we think of Rome, Milan or Turin. But perhaps everyone will agree that Sicily is a special part of Italy, not like other regions, where people are more open, the sun is more gentle and the fruit is even more delicious. The main center of the island is the city of Palermo, which is rich in architecture, famous for the Massimo opera, which beckons with stories of the Sicilian Mafia and the Capuchin catacombs. The temperament of the city is felt in the gestures of the inhabitants, in the unusual flavors of local food, in the sound of the engine of expensive Italian cars.

France's main port of Marseille is ideal for winter travel. This city is sunny for over 2,800 hours a year, so you're more than likely to experience the local sights in marvelous weather. Marseille's most famous monuments are the Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica and the Christian Abbey of St. Victor, by the way the oldest monastery in Western Europe.

And, of course, many people associate this city with the movie "Taxi". If you love this film, a visit to Marseille will be even more exciting.

Faro

Average January-February temperature: 16.3°C.

Faro

When we talk about Portugal, we immediately think of two "whales" — Porto and Lisbon. But in the south of the country there is another cozy resort town Faro, where the sun shines all year round. This place is famous for its seaport, atmospheric fish restaurants, retro cars and authentic architecture. There is a well-preserved 17th-18th century 'old' town there that is sure to surprise you! And Faro will also be a starting point for exploring the whole southern coast of Portugal, its long sandy beaches, hidden rock caves, natural reserves.

If you ask the people of Bilbao where they are from, 99% of them will say Basque Country. Yes, yes, it seems strange, but the townspeople are proud of the fact that their region is not quite the Spain we imagine. It has its own language, its own cuisine, its own traditions. Bilbao is a city of art. It is here at every step: bridges, houses, stadiums, sculptures — everything is very unusual and looks futuristic. The building of the Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art is worth it. In general, fly in, absorb, be inspired.

In Naples in winter it is warm, tasty and hearty. Someone is baking the best pizza in the world and the aroma of freshly baked Margarita fills the streets, someone is arguing about the fairness of yesterday's result of a soccer match where Napoli played, someone has just returned from an excursion to the foot of Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii. You will definitely not be bored in Naples, here you will 100% feel all the flavor of the southern part of Italy.

Room in a 3* hotel — from 40€.

A room in a 5* hotel — from 110€.
