Where should you go for the best winter break?
This company is called “Flee winter.” Seems fairly self explanatory.
But are we pathologically averse to the cold? Surprisingly, no!
We do ‘cold,’ with caveats.
There has to be beautiful scenery, comfortable and warm accommodation, winter markets, hot drinks, cultural sites, crisp sunshine and the indistinguishable crunch of wintery ground underfoot.

Top Travel Tip
“Don’t go sailing with expectations, the wind is rarely playing the same game you are. Sailing is the art of taking ages often going in entirely the wrong direction and still being pleased about it. Just take each moment as it arrives and if it’s all feeling a bit slow, switch the engine on and make a cuppa. Same can be said for life, really.”
