    No I didn't realise.
  • Well sloppychops you really do know where to find them... I try and read as many of your posts as I can as I'm amazed at how cheap you can find some of these bargains...
    Although you haven't helped me on this occasion I'll feel the need of pressing that little thanks button just because you have spent the time helping so many people find that bargain..:j:j

    I agree.

    That is really cheap for a month.

    If you don't book until say November, would it still be the same price? I know the airfare would probably go up.

    But what kind of daytime temperatures would you get in Malta or Cyprus in February. Would it be 17C or 18C if it is a sunny day?

    Hope this isn't a silly question, but I have travel insurance for Europe.

    Does that cover for the Canaries? I know bringing back tobacco from there is not the same as for the rest of Europe.

    Flights might go up,acomm probably wont.Malta in Jan/feb can vary weather wise we have been when its been 8-9c but then again sometimes it got into the 20cs.
    All the travel insurance i have ever had have covered the Canaries under European cover.

  • One of the online weather sites do allow you to look at previous years temperatures and weather conditions.. I'll see if I can find it.. but as sloppy says it can vary... I went to crete the first week in May in 2006 and we all had to buy jackets as it was freezing.. Went to Cyprus the first week in May this year all prepared with jackets and it was sooo hot we didn't need them at all..

  • THIS is a trip planner weather guide from wunderground for Larnaca, Cyprus. Looks like the average temperature in Cyprus early Feb is in the low 60's..
