Just four and a half hours away from the UK along the idyllic Mediterranean coast sits a picturesque winter sun haven, which averages 19C in December.
The third smallest island in the Mediterranean, Cyprus, also benefits from something the UK doesn’t in December: low rainfall.
It takes around two to three hours to drive across, so it’s possible to explore its diverse landscapes, beautiful beaches, and rugged mountains wherever you’re staying.
One of the most iconic activities is the 1,952-metre-high Mount Olympus, which can be found within the Troodos Mountain range, the largest on the island.
The range is also a popular destination for exploring traditional villages, like the picturesque Omodos where you can visit a monastery and try traditional sweet wine.
