We are just back from two weeks in Cyprus which was great, and now realise how important the sun is to make a holiday great. Where could we go at Christmas, or just after it, to get a week of sunshine? As it's only a week, there's no point in thinking of South Africa, Australia etc. We need somewhere that's no more than 5 hours away, pretty much guaranteed sunshine, not too expensive and (preferably) with English as its main language and the Euro as its currency. We're thinking Cyprus (again) or one of the Canary Islands. Any suggestions? Has anyone spent Christmas in the sunshine? Many thanks. (PS, obviously we would be flying from Dublin).
