The winter blues is upon us again and those who aren't lucky enough to hit the slopes this season, are most probably toying with the idea of escaping the gloomy weather to soak up the golden rays on a powdery beach.

Winter season is certainly long enough to make several choices when it comes to the winter sun holidays. There are cheap winter sun holidays as well as more expensive options, depending on the dates, duration, destination and the type of holiday. Choosing to travel over Christmas period will have its magic and give us the opportunity to experience the festive season with a difference, but it is highly unlikely to be the cheaper option. Perhaps travelling soon after Christmas or the New Year will be the time when you can pocket yourself some great bargains. Package holidays to Egypt remain a firm favourite with the British visitors for the value they offer, the guaranteed sunshine, good quality hotels and the ever popular all-inclusive concept. Couples and families travel to places like Sharm El Sheikh, El Gouna or Hurghada to discover the colourful underwater world of the Red Sea. Flight time of roughly four hours only contributes to the value and comfort of your package holiday to Egypt.

Gambia has been topping the lists for winter sun holidays for the past few seasons. Situated on the West African coast, it offers year-round mild tropical climate with exotic plants and scenery to admire. The cool Atlantic breeze is ideal on a hot sunny day and the hospitality of the locals is what gives this country its new name 'the smiling coast'. There are more and more new hotels cropping up on the Gambian coast each year, so if you are on a budget or looking to push the boat out a bit more, or perhaps looking for an eco-friendly or a safari holiday, this relatively new winter sun destination offers something for everyone.

If you are wishing to remain within the Eurozone without breaking the budget, why not head to the 'good old' Canary Islands? All package holidays to Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria can be purchased at the last minute and with lots of accommodation allocated on arrival and other special offers, you are likely to travel to the winter sun at a fraction of the normal brochure price. The holiday options are certainly vast on this volcanic archipelago of islands as they offer typical 'bucket and spade' holidays for families, all inclusive holidays, self catering and budget holidays and there are also upmarket hotels in sophisticated resorts offering anything from spas to butler service.

Thinking of somewhere more exotic? If you don't mind longer flight times and long haul winter sun holidays, then give the fabulous Goa a try. This country will surprise you with the value it offers on accommodation, food and it will offer a completely new cultural experience. With many two weeks for the price of one offers, no supplements on single accommodation and good value long stay holidays, Goa is certain to satisfy every taste and budget.

The Caribbean islands and Florida are favourite family and couples destinations. If you add Cuba to the picture, you will get a splendid choice of exotic beauty, plenty of sunshine as well as excellent value. Destinations like Antigua or fly-drive holidays in Orlando booked at the last minute, will provide numerous discounts and will leave you return for more.

And, of course, you can not go wrong with countries like Dubai or Thailand which offer bespoke accommodation and service and endless opportunities for entertainment and exploration.

The choices of winter sun destinations are vast. Whether you choose to stay closer to home or decide to venture further afield, there are plenty of flights lined up this winter holiday season and there are plenty of seats still available waiting to be booked. Could you be one of those who will say 'good-bye' to the winter blues and start packing their sun cream and flip-flops pretty soon?
