Central & Eastern Europe
Classic Europe, but with a (sometimes Soviet) twist
Though not a dictionary definition, we consider this as anything east of Germany. Once you start getting over to that side of the world, the “Classic European vibes” are certainly still there (cobblestone streets, old town squares), but things take on a noticeably different tone. There are definitely many flavors, like Bohemian Prague or medieval Dubrovnik, but Soviet influence is the most noticeable, especially with each longitude line you cross.

Looking for some sunshine in the midst of a gloomy British winter, we started scouring Google Flights for warm options close enough to home when we came across £30 flights to the Mediterranean island of Malta in January. We had always wanted to go, and with flights that cheap, there was no way we could turn it down. While peak season is the summer months, it turns out that Malta is absolutely worth a visit in the winter – although not beach weather, there was still plenty of sunshine, comfortable temperatures and smaller crowds.
