Snow-covered cities, generalized flu, short daylight hours, slush, frost and spleen - these are the flip side of the coin called “Russian winter”. The soul craves for exotic, and the organism tired of vitamin deficiency - a powerful influx of vitamin D, which, as you know, is produced from sunlight.
One really wants to take a vacation - even if it’s extraordinary — and even wave somewhere to warm countries.
In winter, tourist packages “to the south” are scattered like hot cakes on a market day. But where to go to the Russian vacationer to warm the frozen bones?
Those who are not attracted by a long flight, give a probing look at Europe. Getting a visa to the Schengen zone is a difficult and troublesome business, but if successful, you will find a rich excursion and cultural program. But the question is: “Where is it warm in Europe in winter?” Even in Greece and the Balearic Islands it rains. Not cold, of course, but not hot either: + 15-20. The sea also does not inspire for long swims. In the south of Italy and Spain it is a little warmer: + 20-25, but the water temperature leaves much to be desired.
Only two archipelagos remain, on which the summer does not go away, but only muffles its sultry light a little. This is Madeira, owned by Portugal, and the Spanish Canary Islands. They belong to Europe, but lie in tropical latitudes. If you are planning a vacation in February and ask in which countries it is warm in winter, any travel agency will advise you to visit the Canary Islands. After all, they are world famous for the carnival, which begins from the end of January and lasts until the very beginning of Lent. The fun takes place in a very comfortable atmosphere. Air temperature is suitable for sunbathing, and water is suitable for swimming.
If we look at northern, Arab, Africa, then in which countries is it warm in winter there? In fact, you can go to Egypt, Oman, the UAE, Morocco. It will not be too hot in any of these powers, but seasoned Russians are quite comfortable. Of the two resorts in Egypt, choose Sharm El Sheikh. Although it is located north of Hurghada, the wind rose there is such that it is warmer in the resorts near the Israeli border in winter. The real summer reigns in the UAE (as we used to perceive it). However, daytime +30 in the evening are replaced by a noticeable cool. A thick sweater and a warm windbreaker will not be redundant.
Well, if you are not afraid to travel by plane for a long time and with transfers, the answer to the question “in which countries is it warm in the winter” will expand significantly. Firstly, even in the temperate latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere , summer begins in December-February. It's time to go to Australia, the Republic of South Africa, the countries of Latin America. What resorts can I recommend in these regions? Fernando do Noronha archipelago in Brazil, Punta del Este in Uruguay, Chilean Lake District (in the extreme south of the country), Easten Cape in South Africa - this is an incomplete list of wonderful places.
Well, now let's recall school geography lessons and think about in which countries it is warm in winter, spring, summer ... In a word, year-round? Correctly lying near the equator. "Land of Smiles" Thailand, Seychelles, Fiji, Mauritius, India. And also “black” Africa - Kenya, Zambia ( Victoria Falls is located there ). In French Polynesia you will find the equatorial sun and true European service.
