Exactly in winter, when so many overcast days, there are frosts or snow, most of all we want the sun and the warm sea.
The advantages of vacationing in southern countries in the winter months:
- Change of scenery. This is the main advantage of a holiday in a warm country in the middle of winter. Scenery of the southern countries in winter is very different from the Russian, so it will help dispel the winter blues, will give you a lot of energy and strength.
- Food for thought. Change of comfort zone revitalizes the mind and cognitive abilities. A new country, another culture, new people, even a different cuisine, all this will fill with new experiences and help “throw off your shoulders” routine, switch to rest.
- Health benefits. Sunshine and warm sea are useful, especially for northerners, who are deprived of sunshine heat. Lack of ultraviolet rays causes seasonal depression. A week on vacation in sunny countries will have a beneficial effect on the lungs and thyroid gland. The sea air is curative, it has a lot of mineral salts and iodine.
- Climate. During the winter months the weather in the southern countries is the most favorable. Unlike the summer, there is no exhausting heat, which people with a heart and blood vessels can hardly bear, and the rainfall is minimal.
- Costs. Tours are cheaper in the winter, the exception is the New Year vacations. In winter you can choose the right destination and the right option for accommodation without a rush, tickets in the “off season” are also cheaper.
Features of vacation:
- Locals. In some countries the annoyance of local vendors very tiresome. The natives often show a keen interest in tourists.
- acclimatization. When choosing a tour to an exotic country, keep in mind that the climate will be sharply different, besides you are waiting for a change of time zone. Acclimatization does not always go smoothly. During life our body “remembers” the weather conditions and adjusts to them. Sudden change of climatic conditions may be stressful for the body. Especially careful should be asthmatics, hypertension, people with diseases of the nervous system and epidermis. They must be sure to take a first aid kit with the necessary medications. And sunscreen should take to everyone who goes on vacation in hot countries.
- Food. Getting to know the country is impossible without tasting the local cuisine. But be careful, national dishes are usually generously flavored with spices.
