We live in Larnaca Cyprus , Larnaca or paphos are probably the best places to live . Larnaca has the benefit of the international airport and being a coastal town .

I bought a place in Pafos in 2001 and we lived there for a year. Hated it. In the summer it was too hot to do anything outside comfortably. In the winter everything closed down. We found it utterly boring. And because we had bought a place there we couldn't afford to holiday anywhere else. I'd recommend people rent 6 months through the winter to see how they get on. Don't make my mistake and go all in. Lost £8k by the time we sold up.
I live in Malta. Winter is chilling here, because there is high humidity and no central heating. It is colder indoors than out, and the water just hangs in the air, soaking clothing and bedding and coating everything else.
That's weird because here on the French Med coast I live in an old village house with thick walls good insulation inside it' s dry so I use very little heating.
Exactly all the med buildings have tiled flooring & single glazed windows as they're built for long not summer's so no central heating plus it gets wetter during winter. I have spent winter in Naples a few times, the rainfall is way higher & floods all the time, days are short & it's warm in the sun let's say 20 degree's but as soon as the sun's gone it can drop too well under 10 degree's
as a European who hates winter I can tell you from experience only one of these is warm enough in winter and those are the Canary islands, You`re welcome!
Canary Islands is the best for a winter escape. The climate is almost the same the whole year round. Swimming in February is no problem. But my number two is Cyprus. Very good for early winter. Water is still 20 C in December.
@@simonindra3225 no way, canaries are at 29th north pannel and Rhodes is at 36th north pannel it doesn't make sense, it's like saying that Athens is warmer than like Alexandria in Egypt
@@Anon-nv7bp well, South Spain as warm as Cyprus or even more warmer in winter, now I'm not going to take a look at the water temputere because who the fok swims in winter?
The Canary Islands, southern Greece, Malta, Cyprus and Sicily are the warmest places in Europe in winter. In the south of Greece it was up to 25 degrees warm in December. Croatia does not belong in this video
@@JC-oj7ci and if you compare Seviile's and Lisbon's latitude to Crete, Crete will be in shame because Crete has the same latitude as west north Africa, and Lisbon is as warm as Crete in winter, and Seville is above both of them, you can't compare everything with 1 year because that's only a year
I tries all the possibilities of Southern Europe in winter. Just as we learned in school, Warm. Wet and Windy. The ferry from Spain to Morocco takes only one hour, and the weather is just as bad but the Motorway goes all the way South to Agadir. The Atlas Mountain Range separates the cold Northern climate from the warm sunny South . Same climate as the Canary Islands and with vast and luxurious Motorhome sites at a fraction of the cost.
I can’t agree. The Med is too cold in winter. That is why tourism is mostly closed down. 8 of your choices were in the Med. The only one of your pics that I agree with is your number 1. Canary Islands OK in winter, though I think in all cases, you have over estimated the winter temperatures, in my opinion. I do wonder how many of those places you have actually been to in the winter months.
Only the Canary Islands reach the 20 degree mark on a regular basis in the winter. You also have to remember that UV index is low in winter meaning 15 degrees Celsius in January doesn't feel as warm as 15 degrees Celsius in May.
I'm not sure that it is. Yes, it's 'milder' than Vienna or Budapest, but that's not saying much and even that's only the coast. Even somewhere south in Croatia like Dubrovnik the typical maximum temperature in Jan and Feb is only 54F/12C! and there are 11 days of rain and 4 hours sun a day. inland in Croatia the average day high (Zagreb) is only 39F/4C and less than 2 hours sun a day
I've just spent the whole of March in Dubrovnik and the whole of April in Makarska, it rained almost everyday, and there were big storms and high winds, it didn't go below 10º C, but neither above 19, it's tolerable but not the best weather in the list, for sure
Yes, you can't swim or bath in the sun on continental Europe. But personally 15-18 degrees Celcius is a nice temperature to do outdoor activities, and warm enough to enjoy lunch outside, without jacket. However, also in Southern Spain or Greece the days are short en the peak temperature of over 15 degrees is only a few hours. But much better then here in Switzerland where the temperature is at the moment ( 17 dec '22) -2 at daytime and -7 at nightime, with a cold wind blowing.
The warmest and most temperate climate in the whole of europe during winter is the southern costa blanca and murcian region, and that is fact. With this area been south eastern spain it is sheltered somewhat from the atlantic south and west even more so than the costa del sol area. This area also has the extension of the sierra navada to the back so very sheltered, alicante and murcia has proved to be the mildest area to live in winter, during jan and feb it averages around 16-22c thru the day and norm around 10-15c at night. World weather generally blows west to east so spain and the canaries pick up the carribean wind and under sea currents. People can say what they want on here but the figures prove it. Northern spain, italy is cooler and the greek islands and turkey suffer from the baltic influence during winter. Cyprus and malta are pretty good temps in winter.
No, that is not correct. In all of Spain the climate is humid because of the Atlantic Ocean. The Baltic countries are very far away from Greece and Turkey and cannot influence the weather there. In the south of Greece there are winter Temperatures between 15 and +20 degrees like this year. Both in the south of Spain and in the south of Greece there are days below 15 degrees in winter but that only lasts 2 to 3 days
In southern Spain the nights in winter are very often very cold (2,3 or 4 degrees). I know it from experience. And one more thing: average annual temperature in Greece 22 degrees and in Spain 18 degrees
@@JC-oj7ci You cannot compare average temperatures of Spain and Greece because Spain is much more diverse and bigger. When you say all of Spain is humid, same thing, there are quite stark differences between the north and the south of Spain; left aside the Canary islands. Southern Spain is the sunniest area in continental Europe (Las Tabernas desert is there, where many Western movies were filnmed). Maybe Malta has 4 hours more of sun than Almería per year. Now, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are the sunniest, just off the Sahara.
@@jabato9779 The sunniest places in Europe are Malta and then southern Greece and then comes southern Spain. The Canary Islands belong politically to Spain but geographically to Africa. And yet they are no sunnier that Malta or Rhodes. And all climate experts say that Greece has the best climate in Europe and I can confirm it from experience. All of Spain has a humid climate because of the Atlantic Ocean, in the north it is naturally wetter because the climate there is the same as in central Europe
Today its freezing 15c in algarve portugal. Last 3 weeks have had cloud and atlantic wind. To be fair no where in europe even in summer is the sea warm. Hit Mauritius, schelles, maldives, goa, thailand for genuine 26 to 31 degree celcius.

My wife and I always spend November, December, January in Tenerife. Last February and March, we spent six weeks in Paphos, Cyprus, as it is not in the Schengen area.
