16 προορισμοι που... σβήνουν το χειμώνα 

Ποιος είναι αυτός που θα πει ότι δεν βαρέθηκε το κρύο και

 το χειμώνα; Στο TIME όμως φαίνεται ότι βιάζονται περισσότερο

 από τους άλλους για να έρθει το καλοκαίρι.

Ετσι, ως μία πρόταση για όσους δεν αντέχουν τις χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες, στη 

διαδικτυακή του έκδοση το περιοδικό προτείνει 16 μέρη που μπορεί κάποιος να 

προγραμματίσει ότι θα ταξιδέψει, ή έστω να τα χαζέψει στις φωτογραφίες, 

προκειμένου να καταπολεμήσει την κατάθλιψη του χειμώνα.
Ανάμεσά τους και η Μύκονος, που είναι το πιο φημισμένο ελληνικό νησί για την

 αίγλη του, εξαιτίας της ατμόσφαιρας πάρτι που κυριαρχεί εκεί, σύμφωνα με το TIME.
