We really need to correct the sunshine hours, as obviously the measuring methods used in the US are different, so the figures look larger than the real values.
Those are not the two sunniest places in Europe, but I would take either of those two for having nice yearly temperatures with mild winters and warm-hot summers that are not scorching.

Some cities in southern Cyprus such as Larnaca has 300 extra hours of sun annually than both Huelva and Almeria, but geographically is Middle East as it's located so far away from the continent.

Hmm I would still say that they are part of Europe though, as they are still near to the continent. It is places like Canary Islands which are quite far away which I would not count for this poll

Maybe winters there are a bit sunnier than in western Mediterranean basin, but I guess summer are almost the same sunshine wise. Well, I will create a new battle next week as I already have created two this week, lol.
