The best thing about the winter is that it's very short.
We often have 3 layers of clothes on indoors in Jan and Feb and you can see your breath in rooms without heating on.
Our first winter we had moved into an unfurnished house with no curtains, in Feb, I thought I would never be warm again.
Had never been in Feb before and was so shocked by the ice on the inside of the window of the dolmus as we came over the Antalya road to Fethiye on the day we moved here.
Now we have thick curtains across the staircases of the open plan floors which helps a lot, and the best thing we've bought was a radiator towel rail for the bathroom, it's lovely and toasty in there now.
We can't put our arms out of the covers to read, without a neater or aircon and have to get dressed and undressed under the covers, but this is only a few weeks of the year!
We go out for walks to warm up, even Jan and Feb has warm sunshine, but very cold as soon as the sun goes down.
On the bright side, Oct, Nov, Dec and March we are in short sleeves in the daytime and its lovely sitting in warm sunshine.
I never understood people who said they prefer winter here, but I do now.
Am sick of August that's for sure.
