Finns Travel South in Search of Sun

The drizzly start to this year's summer has more Finns heading south next season. Autumn and winter trips to warm destinations are selling like hotcakes, according to travel agencies.

Some packaged trips are already sold out and last minute deals on end-of-the-summer getaways are moving fast.

But travel agencies Finnmatkat and Finland Travel Bureau say there are plenty of spots available for those in search of sun, particularly during December and January. Favourite destinations in the winter include the Canary Islands and Thailand, while Greece, Spain and Italy are hot travel spots in the autumn.
