How to choose the right destination in February (in 10 seconds)

Looking for events and traditions? → Sardinia or Sicily Looking for nature and silence? → Corsica or Sardinian inland Looking for cities and atmosphere? → Barcelona Looking for “winter sun” and a road trip? → Tunisia

1) Sardinia: a Carnival that feels like an ancient ritual (and an island all to yourself)

Here, Carnival is not just a “celebration”: it’s mystery, symbols, identity. Between Barbagia, Mamoiada, Ottana and Oristano, you’ll find traditions that seem to come from another time. Then there’s Sardinia “out of season”: famous beaches with no one around, stunning light, clean air, panoramic roads.

👉 The real smart move? Central Sardinia. A destination you don’t reach by chance, but actively seek out: in just a few hours by car, you’re in the most authentic inland areas, where the island is still wild and true.

2) Sicily: mild weather, street food and some of Italy’s most beautiful Carnivals

In February, Sicily offers the perfect mix: milder temperatures, more livable cities and the energy of events.

If you love folklore, mark these two down: the Acireale Carnival and the Sciacca Carnival, considered among the most spectacular in Italy.

And while the streets fill with music, confetti and parade floats, you can enjoy Sicily at a slower pace: markets, historic centers, archaeological sites… and of course street food.

3) Corsica: the sea in winter… and (yes!) skiing too

Corsica is perfect if you want to switch off. In winter, it becomes more essential: few people, nature in the spotlight, powerful landscapes.

And the sentence that makes the trip worth it is this: Believe it or not, you can also ski in Corsica.

In just a few kilometers, you’ll find mountains and snow, then suddenly you’re back on the coast, looking out at the sea. A rare combination — and incredibly close.

4) Barcelona: a more enjoyable city break (without necessarily flying)

Barcelona in February is a smart choice: mild climate, fewer crowds and more time to truly enjoy the city.

It’s the time when architecture and historic neighborhoods become more accessible and the city feels more authentic. Perfect if you want a short trip full of atmosphere: walks, tapas, museums, markets.

5) Tunisia: winter sun and an on-the-road adventure

If you’re looking for a different escape, with a warmer and more “far-away” feel, Tunisia is a very strong idea: markets, medinas, ruins, coastline and — if you’re up for adventure — oases and desert.

The big advantage? By ferry, you can bring your car and turn everything into a real road trip: no transfers, no rigid schedules, just custom-built stops.

Practical tip (that changes everything)

If you can, choose a night crossing: leave in the evening, sleep in a cabin and wake up ready to go.

And while you’re on board, you can stay connected too: with Seafy Wi-Fi, available on Grimaldi Lines, Corsica Ferries and GNV (GNV Spirit & GNV Allegra), you can check routes, book experiences or plan your stops directly during the crossing.

Book and go (stress-free)

If you’re thinking about a February holiday, the advice is simple: choose a destination reachable by ferry and bring your car with you.

That way, you can enjoy the journey with complete freedom: disembark → scenic road → villages → nature → local traditions, without relying on transfers.

👉 Check available routes and offers, consider an evening departure with a cabin and, if you want to optimize everything, plan and book while sailing thanks to Seafy Wi-Fi.
