Southern Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The

Without a doubt, the top tip is to go south! And in southern Spain<\/a>, particularly the popular region of Andalucia, the average February temperatures range from 10\u00b0C (50\u00b0F) to 18\u00b0C (64\u00b0F). Down here you can enjoy a sunny day with lunch by the beach in Malaga, or explore the beautiful landmarks and sights of Seville without the crowds. Luxe hotspots like Marbella will have more affordable hotels, and it should be easier to get tickets to the Alhambra in Granda. Better yet, C\u00e1diz Carnival<\/a> is an 11-day street party each February!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trafalgar\u2019s 15-day Best of Spain<\/a> spends quite some time along the Costa de Sol and exploring Andalucia\u2019s favourite cities and destinations. It could be the perfect Europe tour<\/a> for a warm February escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The southern Italian<\/a> island of Sicily is another favourite for February sunshine. In the middle of winter the average daily temperature in Sicily tends to fall between 10\u00b0C (50\u00b0F) to 15\u00b0C (59\u00b0F), though by the coast is usually a bit warmer. That\u2019s good news if you want to explore the beauty of Palermo\u2019s old town, or connect with culture. In summer you might hear of temperatures in the 40s (100+\u00b0F), so you\u2019ll love every cooler moment while exploring ancient ruins in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

February isn\u2019t a sleepy month. You can join local festivals, such as Carnevale, when you can expect colorful celebrations with parades and festivities. Join Trafalgar\u2019s Southern Italy and Sicily<\/a> tour to discover the south for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\nTour not found.\n\n\n

\"Panoramic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If the sunkissed beaches of Greece<\/a> are calling, there\u2019s no reason you have to wait for the busy summer. The beautiful islands of Crete, Rhodes, Kos, Corfu, and Zakynthos offer plenty of charm and warmer winter climates, thanks to the influence of the Mediterranean Sea. Here you can go hiking, explore ancient ruins, and taste local cuisine, including dishes using seasonal produce not found during other seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it might be a little chilly to swim, there\u2019s something to be said about cool dips \u2013 and you can work up a sweat (and courage) while exploring coastal trails and quiet villages. Off-season in Greece offers a more authentic experience, where you\u2019ll have more chances to truly feel the warm hospitality of the Greek people. Trafalgar\u2019s 14-day Secrets of Greece <\/a>takes you over to Corfu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"La<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As subtropical islands closer to the coast of West Africa than Europe, Spain\u2019s Canary Islands are the perfect winter escape in February. If your’e wondering where is hot in February in Europe, then no look not further. These eight islands are a treat for sun-seekers, with temperatures falling between 15\u00b0C (60\u00b0F) to 21\u00b0C (70\u00b0F) and just an average of 6mm of rainfall \u2013 making them the warmest European destination in February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
