April showers are the worst part of the Springtime. Looking for some sunshine? These are my favourite places to escape April Showers and pretend it’s already further into the year.
Hello friends! I hope that you all had a lovely day yesterday, whether you celebrate Easter or not, and that it was full of lots of time with loved ones.
Welcome, April! Here in Edinburgh, April is definitely embracing the phrase “April Showers bring May Flowers.” It’s been gloomy, cold, and rainy, and I’ve been wishin’ for just a hint of blue skies! Where is it warm in April?! Can I go there?!?!?!?
If you’re in a similar weather rut, here are some places that have GREAT weather in April! If you’re located in Europe, hop on a cheap flight and see the sunshine for a couple days! Not located in Europe? Go during Spring Break!
Naxos, Greece
Naxos is much less touristy than it’s neighbour Santorini, and just as beautiful! There are amazing beaches, incredible museums, and some stunning ruins. It’s a relaxing getaway destination. Have a huge chunk of April for travel? Island hop!
Tenerife
Tenerife took my breath away! This place has it all- hiking, beaches, resorts, cycling… everything! It’s an absolutely stunning island, and April has some of the best weather. I absolutely loved exploring all the different parts of the island, and I especially loved hiking up Teide (and the relaxation afterwards!)
Lisbon, Portugal
I absolutely adore Lisbon. It’s an amazing city with great food and incredible architecture. I’ve been looking for a reason to go back! It’s an upcoming “healthy” destination if you’re trying to stay fit while on holiday, but you must try the pasteis de natas! These Portuguese egg tarts are to die for.
Cyprus
Cyprus is an absolutely amazing holiday destination. Often overlooked, Cyrpus is still a bit of a hidden gem. There’s tons of sightseeing to do, swimming, and natural beauty to see here, and what I’d most look forward to? Eating tonnes of freshly made halloumi!

I love the pictures! Thank you so much for sharing. I haven’t been to any of these countries but feel like I’m missing out.
Great pics and I agree – let’s avoid April showers and head to the sunshine! 🙂
I’ve only been to Lisbon so looks like I have some traveling to do!
I have to agree that Lisbon is one of my favorite cities, and like you I really enjoyed exploring the island of Tenerife as well. Great suggestions.
I haven’t visited any of these yet. Every one of them is on my list of places I’d like to go someday. I just wish it wasn’t so darn expensive to fly to Europe or I’d get a chance to see them much sooner.
the seaside of Cyprus looks very inviting. I hope I get to visit these beautiful countries once.
Man, I could find myself sitting by that sea in Cypres forever!! Thanks for the fun share. I hope you get to escape the showers soon 😉
How great! I think us brits need this right now after almost a week of heavy rain!! Nice to see there are so many options so close to home 🙂
Wow, it’s getting harder and harder to explain to myself why I’ve not had a true Mediterranean vacation yet ! lol
You must!! The Mediterranean is soooo beautiful!
