The nights are well and truly drawing in and with Christmas mere weeks away, you might be thinking of only one thing: how to escape the British weather. And I don't blame you. Which is why the thought of jetting off to somewhere sunnier for a winter holiday is all we can think of.

Finding somewhere that's guaranteed sun is a little trickier but destinations like the Canary Islands, Turkey and Cyprus are great options, with temperatures averaging around 22-26C.
