9Rhodes, Greece

Rhodes is another Greek gem that refuses to surrender to winter. Located closer to Turkey than mainland Greece, it benefits from a warm Aegean climate. Even in December, the sun shines for six to seven hours a day.

Its medieval Old Town stays lively, and nearby Lindos glows under crisp blue skies. Olive groves shimmer in the sunlight, and the sea remains beautifully blue. Rhodes is ideal for those who crave warmth, history, and serenity wrapped in Mediterranean radiance.
