These are the 10 cheapest European islands to escape the German winter - according to travel company Weloveholidays

Winter in Germany can be quite long. We're already noticing this, even though winter isn't here yet (it doesn't officially start until December 21st). Reason enough to think about a few destinations where you can better spend the winter - or at least part of it - without spending too much money. We have a few ideas for a great oneShort vacation in winter.

And the nice thing is: you don't have to travel long-distance to do this, because all of the islands listed here are in Europe.

The most expensive of the cheap travel destinations we have presented here is the beautiful island of Crete - here you have to pay up to 730 euros per person for a week's package holiday. Still sounds like a bargain? It is too. And what a thing! Because the largest Greek island is a truly fantastic travel destination with Caribbean-like sandy beaches and lots of sun - even in winter. You can also climb there, visit ancient cities and stroll through dreamy villages - which is particularly fun, especially outside of the high season.Costs: approx. 730 euros per person for one week

The Portuguese island of Madeira is located about 950 km southwest of Lisbon and 740 km west of the Moroccan coast in the Atlantic Ocean - and it attracts people all year round with consistent temperatures, untouched nature and great flora. 20 degrees in winter are not uncommon, but it never gets too hot there - perfect conditions for a nice holiday to escape the onset of the German winter. However, the amount of greenery on the island is no coincidence, because you have to expect rain on Madeira. But it's still nice there (that's precisely why), and it doesn't cost much in the winter.Costs: approx. 720 euros per person for one week

Greece offers 3,000 hours of sunshine per yearRhodes, which is not called the sunny island for nothing. And the good news: the sun often shines there in autumn and winter! The temperatures on the main island of the Greek archipelago of the Dodecanese in the southeast Aegean can easily climb to over 20 degrees even in November - the best conditions for checking out the unspoiled mountain landscape in the interior of the island while you're already freezing your butt off in Germany.Costs: approx. 700 euros per person for one week

People still think of the influence of Sicily, but you can be sure that you won't notice any of this when you vacation there and can concentrate fully on the many advantages of the island, which is after all the largest in the entire Mediterranean. No wonder, as it is also considered a center of culture in the Mediterranean region and also attracts everyone who enjoys good food, beautiful nature and sun in autumn and winter. And above all, there is a lot less going on there than at the peak travel time in summer. Take the chance!Costs: approx. 680 euros per person for one week

Corfu is the second largest of the Ionian Islands, the seventh largest in Greece and is always worth a trip. Because of its lush nature, Corfu is also called “the green island” - and rightly so.

The Canary Island of Tenerife is an excellent and inexpensive holiday destination for those who want to avoid winter in this country but don't want to travel too far. This is the most populous island in Spain, but especially in autumn and winter you don't notice much of it, which is what makes Tenerife such a great travel destination at this time. Apart from that, Tenerife is not called the island of eternal spring for nothing, because it offers a mild climate all year round, beaches made from the sand of the Sahara, breathtaking cliffs, bizarre volcanic landscapes and an impressive mountain world - all of which makes the island a great holiday destination even outside the summer months .

If you prefer a mix of culture and nature when it comes to your vacation, Cyprus is the right place for you. There you will find great museums, especially historical ones, as well as archaeological excavation sites, fantastic Mediterranean cuisine and great flora and fauna - it is not for nothing that Cyprus is considered a biodiversity hotspot in the Mediterranean region and the most forested island in the entire Mediterranean.

Of course, the Germans' favorite island of Mallorca cannot be missing from such a list, because it is not only cheap there, but also beautiful every year - if you are not at the damned Ballermann. Affordable holiday packages are available for the island all year round, and especially in autumn and winter. In November you can easily have another 20 degrees there - although there is of course no guarantee of this. But Mallorca is a beautiful island either way, especially for hiking enthusiasts. However, it might be too cold to swim there in winter - but you can also pass your time that way in Mallorca.Costs: approx. 580 euros per person for one week

The second cheapest option for a short island trip within Europe is a trip to the Mediterranean island state of Malta. If you want to experience a little something, book something in Valletta, the smallest capital in the EU. If you want something less hustle and bustle (although in autumn and winter it is still quite reasonable here), you will definitely find what you are looking for elsewhere. In November, Malta has temperatures between a pleasant 15 and 20 degrees, which makes it really easy to endure on the island. And you don't have to spend a lot on the pleasure. So it's worth it!Costs: approx. 540 euros per person for one week

There is currently no better place to escape the German winter than in Lanzarote. If you add up the cost of the flight and hotel, the Spanish island has the best price-performance ratio of any European island. And it's beautiful there too: the volcanic landscape of black and red rock is legendary, and it's beautiful there even when we're already freezing in this country. In November the thermometer can still climb to 26 degrees, in December there are still maximum temperatures of 21 degrees - and it almost never gets colder than 13/14 degrees. So: strike immediately and get there!Costs: approx. 460 euros per person for one week
