Default Warmest city in Europe in February

Hi,
I intend to travel through europe in February of next year. I was
wondering if you can suggest a good tourist place which is warm (20
degrees centigrade or more) in mid-February. I wish to use the Euro
rail for a maximum of 12hr ride one way. Any suggestions will be highly
appreciated.

Thanks.

Nowhere is 20 C or more in winter on the entire European continent.

A few places will be 10-15C during the day and 5-10C at night -
basically the southern parts of Portugal, Spain, France and Italy.

Whether Turkey's in Europe or not, it ain't that warm in winter.
Unless you're including Tenerife etc., the del Sol east of Gib is about the
winter warmest. Beats much of N. Africa.
My ideal warm winter place - Aswan.

I spent a Christmas holiday sailing in the Med. once, when the
temperatures topped 20DegC.

mainland turkey.

Well, these four destinations are technically a part of Europe (or, at
leat, the EU): R�union, Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guiana. They
might be the warmest parts of "Europe" in February.

This might cause some problems... :-)

Does it mean that non-EU countries aren't in Europe ?

No, the other way 'round: non-European countries aren't (yet, let's wait
for Turkey) in the EU (except the mentioned DOM and probably some other
overseas territories, which are no sovereign Nations).

hth,

Robert

Other options include Lisbon (possibly the warmest), Barcelona,
Marseille, or Naples.

As noted there are parts of the EU that are not in Europe. There are
also countries that are in Europe that are not in the EU.

R�union, Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guiana are "overseas
territories" of France. They are not in Europe. The French control
passports in French Guiana even when you arrive on a flight from
Paris.

Those three mentioned are not territories but departments fully integrated
in France.
As working for the mail I'm used to the terms D.O.M and T.O.M
Departments d'Outre Mere and Territories d'Outre Mere.
D.O.M is directed directly to Paris while T.O.M must be send separately.
So the overseas departments are Guadeloupe,Martinique and French Guiana
while the overseas territories are Mayotte,Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.
There're also a number of areas with dependency to France as French
Polynesia,New Caledonia,Wallis Futuna and others .
AFAIK the overseas departments aren't inside the Schengen area thus it's
reasonable that you've to show a passport on entry. I would guess it's
enough with an id for a French citizen. However no-one asked for passport
on my arrival to Guadeloupe from Frankfurt.
