Where to rest in February with comfort

Despite the fact that February is the shortest month of the year, it is perceived as the longest and most tedious. Winter, which in December was so happy with the white fluffy snow, has already managed to podnadoest. Our bodies miss vitamins, and hearts - on solar heat, singing birds, in a word, in the spring. Therefore, it is at the end of winter that we are surrounded by an unrestrained suitcase mood - I want to wave far away from gray cities where dank dampness and flu reigns, towards the sun, the sea and the beach. But where to rest in February, so it was inexpensive and good, where to recharge your forces and energy and wait for the onset of a long-awaited spring in our lands?

Fortunately, there are countries where the last month of the calendar winter is associated with the height of spring. In Turkey, on the Mediterranean coast, the sun is already hot and the almonds are blooming. The sea is still cold, and can be windy on the beach. But the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, for example), as well as the southern coast of Spain, are included in the list of places where you can relax in February very comfortably. Portugal and the Canary Islands will please tourists with a truly summer sun and quite comfortable for sunbathing and bathing with temperatures. Also, a lush and riotous spring comes to the Greek islands of Rhodes and Crete.

When people think about where to rest in February, the first thing they come up with is the beach direction. In Egypt, with the end of New Year's holidays and related excitement, prices are falling significantly. However, in Hurghada it can still be very windy, and the temperature of the Red Sea does not rise above + 20-22 ° C. In the UAE, too, a collapse in prices, but there are strong winds and quite noticeable contrast between day and night temperatures. In such trips you need to take with you warm sweaters or light jackets. But in the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt and in the emirate of Sharjah in the UAE summer reigns already, thanks to the fact that these areas are closed from cold winds. So, the resort of Korfakkan in the emirate of Sharjah is located at the foot of the Al-Hajar mountains on the shores of the Indian Ocean. In both resorts excellent conditions for diving and quiet beach holidays.

Thailand offers many interesting places to relax in February. There you will plunge into a real fairy tale. Moreover, it is in the last month of winter, according to the Chinese calendar, that the Lunar New Year is most often celebrated. Wonderful weather conditions for a cloudless holiday will be found in Krabi province, Pattaya, Chang, Phi Phi, Phuket, Lanta, Samet and Yaoyai. During the day, the air temperature does not fall below the +26 Celsius mark, and the sea pleases with calmness, clear water (which is important for divers) and a temperature of + 26-28 ° C. Approximately the same weather conditions can be found in other exotic countries. The rainy season has long passed and will not begin soon, the sky is cloudless, there are no waves or strong currents in the sea.

But if there is no money for distant tropical countries, where can you go to rest closer to home? February is a month of festivals. Before the Great Lent all of Europe is boisterously saying goodbye with merriment. A colorful masquerade takes place in Venice, when the whole city on the water is transformed and turns into a richly decorated theatrical stage. Masquerade takes place in another Italian city, Verona, as well as the French Riviera of France, Nice, and Malta. The famous carnival in Rio de Janeiro each February gathers countless crowds of tourists from all over the world.

And, finally, February is an occasion to arrange excellent farewell to the winter. In the ski resorts already snow enough snow to famously ride on the ski or toboggan runs in Andorra, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Germany, France and even Turkey and Spain. Russian resorts also offer to take advantage of the last opportunity to go: in Khibiny, on Elbrus, Cheget, Dombai, Krasnaya Polyana, February is considered the snowiest month.
