Looking for short-haul winter sun in Europe? Turkey is home to a host of hotspots, and though its enormous size means that much of the north, including the perennially popular Istanbul, don’t offer soaring temperatures during the colder months, the southern areas remain comfortably warm in winter.
Destinations along the aptly named Turquoise Coast, where colourful waters meet fine sands, welcome tourists all year round, as even temperatures in the colder months stay in the high teens and low 20s.
