Warm at the beginning of February?

Got the week off starting 6th February. Where is warm but NOT the Canary Islands. Would like an all inclusive deal.

What's your budget? How many people? What kind of holiday do you like (other than the temp of course)? :-)

ecclesto

Budget as low as possible! Going to Las Vegas the week after! Like to sight see but would love the sun as well. Thought of Cyprus, Turkey and Tunisisa but would just love some sun

Turkey will be your best bet for heat, and there are plenty of quiet sight seeing spots if you don't mind hiring a car to get away from the tourist traps.

I've heard that while it's cheap to get to Cyprus - it's massively expensive once you get there (another benefit of staying out of the main tourist areas in Turkey - most prices half).

Thanks, never been to Turkey and love to visit new places. There are 2 of us going. What is all inclusive like in Turkey? Which of the resorts would you recommend for sight seeing?

Why not extend your Vegas Trip?

ecclesto

I would but the person I am going with can't! I know it's a long trip for a week but ........... I have booked the accommodation so now looking at flights

Sharm El Shiekh? Its warmer than most resorts in Turkey at that time of year with less chance of rainfall. Its also more of a all year round holiday destination so the actual resort should have a bit more life around it.

I'd discount Tunisia if its warmth and sun you are after, its not particularly warm that time of year.

I wouldn't bother with Turkey at that time, I have been in Feb and early April, and both times were rainy and not that hot, it was better than the UK but I still needed to wear a jacket.

Been to Turkey in April & it's still mixed weather.

I agree Cyprus is expensive once you get there but you will get the weather, check out HB or AI.

Cyprus is not particularly warm in February. That is the most variable of months so may alternate between weak sun, cloudy and heavy rain. On paper it looks warmer than the UK but holiday apartments, and to some extent hotels, are designed for summer and are therefore not well insulated.

Traditional-built Cypriot houses have fireplaces and they are used in February. Expats who can find a good deal go to Sharm :-)
