27 hour layover in Istanbul - we walk next to the Blue Mosque
The most popular holiday option on the warm sea in July was, is and will be, even despite the extreme temperatures. Visa-free, all inclusive and short flights are the key to mass demand.
The entire line of the Antalya coast, under the aggressive sun, heats up to +33°С...+35°С (it feels an order of magnitude higher), the Mediterranean Sea – up to +28°С. The weather is clear, no rain, but that's just not enough. Very humid stuffy and sticky .
The situation is slightly different on the Aegean coast: thanks to the low humidity and winds, the degrees are felt as they are - typical +32°C...+34°C, and the water is refreshing with its +24°C.
Where to go to the sea in Turkey? Tourists taught by “hot” experience recommend only the Aegean coast (Marmaris, Bodrum, Kusadasi) - at least there you can really relax on the beach, and not hide in a hotel. Although, when has the extreme heat stopped you from vacationing in good old Side, Kemer or Alanya, especially in the high season?
- For two, Türkiye in July 2019 – from 45,000 rubles for 7 days, all inclusive. Aegean coast – from 50,000
Bulgaria
Where to go to the sea in July and not get overwhelmed by the heat? In Bulgaria definitely the most comfortable weather . In mid-summer it is, of course, very warm here: the air temperature is +28°C...+30°C, and the sea reaches +24°C. Bulgaria in July is generally at its coolest; a month later or earlier it’s already cooler.
Judging by the reviews, one cannot remain indifferent to the country. Either it is included in the “inexpensive and worthy vacation - repeat” list, or in the “I do not recommend it to anyone”. Bulgaria's opponents are not satisfied with the Black Sea itself, the crowded conditions and outbreaks of infections during the season. Supporters counter that the whole problem is hygiene, and the combination of such a mild climate and sandy beaches can't be found anywhere else.
Where is the best beach holiday in July? Albena is one continuous tourist reservation aimed at children, Golden Sands is a youth resort, Sunny Beach stands out for the number of hotels and all-inclusive accommodation, Burgas for its size and infrastructure, and people go to Pomorie to improve their health with healing mud.
- You can fly to the seaside in Bulgaria in July from 42,000 rubles per week for two
Greece
Symi Island, Greece (excursion from Rhodes)
Where the season is in full swing in July is in Greece. Moreover, the season is hot, sultry, but not to the same extent as in Turkey - all because of the more benign climate.
However, if at the beginning of July the temperatures still somehow differ in different regions, then in the end the entire country experiences maximum heat. In air up to +35°С, in water +25°С…+26°С. Due to the low humidity it was still hot easier to tolerate .
It is recommended to spend a beach holiday in Greece in July on the islands of Crete, Rhodes, Kos. They are blown by winds that dilute the hot sun. You can also go from the opposite: to greener Ionian Islands, Corfu and Chalkidiki are saved by the shade of trees. But remember that a lot of vegetation = high humidity.
You will have to forget about daytime excursions in open spaces; even the beautiful Santorini will not “enter” in such weather. But, unlike the rest of Europe, you can have an inexpensive vacation in Greece.
- Minimum prices for tours to Greece in July 2019 – from 50,000 rubles for 7 nights for two without meals; from 60,000 rubles – breakfast + dinner
Montenegro
Kotor, Montenegro
In addition to Turkey, you can vacation abroad in July without a visa in Montenegro. And, moreover, relatively inexpensive.
However, this is by no means an alternative Turkish coast. Yes, there is a sea - the Adriatic - and the water temperature in it allows swimming - +25°C. But Montenegro is not included in the countries for beach holidays; it more for the soul – with nature, delicious cuisine and gentle sunshine. Therefore, more or less decent beaches have been occupied since June and amaze with the number of sunbathing bodies.
Searching for a tour, by the way, is not always relevant: sometimes it is more profitable to go on your own. Where? Tivat is the capital with developed infrastructure and cheap housing; Budva is a noisy, lively and crowded resort, and next to it are calmer Rafailovici and Becici, where you can find decent beaches. Ulcinj is known as the most distant, but the only city with a sandy coast.
- Tours to Montenegro in July 2019 cost from 55,000 rubles for 7 days for two
Where to go abroad for the azure color of the sea and golden sand? Cyprus has both available, in addition to the absence of hassle with a visa (done in 1-2 days).
However, what Cypriot resorts do NOT have in July is a favorable climate. It’s hot (+31°C…+34°C), too humid (which means we add more degrees according to how we feel) and nowhere to hide from the evil sun except in the room. But an undeniable plus is that you don’t have to get out of the +27-degree sea.
The best beaches, according to tourists, are in Protaras and Ayia Napa, but these places are inconvenient for excursions. In Paphos and Larnaca, on the contrary, there is something to do and where to walk, and coastline not the most impressive.
- A beach holiday in July 2019 in Cyprus will cost from 50,000 rubles for 7 days for 2 people
Where else can you relax abroad in July?
The list of possible vacation spots is by no means limited to the above-mentioned areas. From the reviews it follows that many tourists like less famous resorts. There are many reasons: I don’t like the number of tourists, I’m not happy with the prices there. Where else to go to the sea in July?
Duomo Cathedral in Milan (they decided not to go up)
Italy is so hot in July that a beach holiday looks more attractive than an educational stroll.
The weather temperature is similar in all regions: +29°C...+31°C outside and +24°C...+26°C in the water. Let us note that Rome in July seemed tolerable to us, it was possible to live, but Milan, located much further north, is remembered as a place where it is better not to stick your head out at noon.
The best beach holidays in Italy - according to tourists' reviews - are in Sicily and Sardinia. You can spend a vacation for two in the Amalfi Islands, the island of Ischia or Liguria - picturesque and romantic. The region of Tuscany and Puglia are suitable for traveling with a child, and you can relax inexpensively in the most “Russian” resorts of the Adriatic Sea - Rimini and Riccione.
- In July, prices for holidays in Italy on a tour start from 65,000 rubles for 7 nights for 2 persons. Islands – from 80,000
Lookout on Montjuic mountain in Barcelona
(in the evening you can watch the fountain show - check opening days)
Where to vacation abroad in July in the most interesting and “beachy” way possible? We are all for Spain - there are so many places to have fun, admire, and swim!
At the very beginning of July, the sea is not hot: the water temperature is an uncertain +23°C (with the exception of the Costa Blanca region). But after the 10th the weather is completely stable, +24°C...+25°C for swimming and +28°C...+30°C for walking. To be honest, in Barcelona in the middle of the month we felt a little uncomfortable under the sun, it felt stuffy.
The main headache with Spain is deciding where to go and choosing a resort. In short: holidays with children and friends who cannot stand the heat - on the islands (Mallorca, Tenerife); beautiful beaches, the sea and a cool amusement park on the Costa Dorada (Cambrils, Salou); Barcelona is the ultimate concentration of aesthetics and summer sales, Costa Brava is generally an inexpensive region and cooler; well, the cheapest resorts in July are Lloret de Mar (for party-goers and beachgoers) and Calella (very close to Barcelona).
- Prices for tours to Spain in July 2019 start from 65,000 rubles per week for two
Portugal
Our trip to the edge of Europe in Porto
Places abroad where it is warm but not hot in July can be counted on one hand. One of them is Portugal, which is haunted by the ocean breeze.
Summer in the country begins from the 20th of June, and therefore July is not yet the peak of active sun. On average, the air temperature is about +25°С…+29°С, and Atlantic Ocean indefinitely jumps from +17°С to +22°С. It's cool in the morning and evening, and even midday doesn't force you to hide in the shade.
Where to go? A beach holiday in Portugal in July can only be arranged in Madeira, which also has the warmest water (+22°C, however). Reviews from tourists also mention the Algarve region, where people go to enjoy the views of rocky grottoes and long beaches. Near Lisbon, people sunbathe in the resorts of Cascais and Estoril. The ideal scenario for getting to know Portugal is a tour of the capital and Porto, and then relaxation in Madeira.
Sochi
When talking about a beach holiday in July in Russia, first of all, they mean Sochi. In 2018, the resort became even more popular - the World Cup attracted crowds of fans. And after it ended, many stayed for a week to sunbathe. 🙂
Maldives
Surprisingly, you can also find inexpensive tours in July to the Maldives. Holidays in winter paradise islands shocks with the sums laid out, but in the summer they cost much less.
This is understandable - the low season is coming. The weather does not change in terms of temperature, the same +31°C in the air and +29°C in the ocean. The likelihood of rain increases and, accordingly, humidity. With clear skies you can’t guess – you’ll either be lucky or not (but “no” usually lasts for an hour or two or at night).
The whole irony is that in the midst of tourist season the islands may be hit by rain. So is it necessary to overpay for a slightly clearer forecast if the warm sea and bounty beauty are year-round? 🙂
- The cost of a trip to the Maldives in July 2019 is from 155,000 rubles per week for two (including breakfast)
Croatia
Nature in Croatia
Among the possible destinations for a beach holiday in July 2019, we note Croatia. The weather is quite calm and windless. Air temperature – from +28°С to +30°С, warmest on southern resorts. Water stays in the range of +24°С…+25°С. Croatia in July will be pleasant good climate, the turquoise sea and pine thickets right on the shore.
What will confuse a tourist? Beaches crowded with vacationers, which, for the most part, are either pebbly or concrete, and the discrepancy between the quality of hotels and the declared cost. The country, unfortunately, has long left the “inexpensive” category.
Middle Dolmatia - the towns of Brela and Makarska - are very popular in the season, because... The pebbles here are small. On the Istrian peninsula in Porec you can find cheap housing (and concrete instead of a beach), and in Rovinj and Umag you can find more expensive holidays, but also at a higher level.
- Prices for 7-day tours to Croatia in July start from 70,000 rubles for 2 people
Destinations for a holiday in July with a child
What does a child need from a holiday in July? Warm sea, familiar food and, of course, all kinds of entertainment. And for parents, so as not to worry - a short flight, gentle sun and availability of everything (from food to medical care).
So, where to go in July with a child?
- Albena, Bulgaria: a town where everyone enthusiastically makes Easter cakes on the beach or, in other words, the number 1 resort for families in the whole country. A varied children's table in hotels, shallow sea, a lot of greenery on the territory and tranquility at night.

Where will you personally go on vacation in July 2016? We'd love to hear your options and comments.
July is the height of the summer season. Temperatures throughout Europe are rising to very high levels this month, so if you're interested in active sightseeing tours according to the Old World, it is better to postpone them until September. At the same time, you can leisurely enjoy the beauty of European capitals and relax comfortably at sea, enjoying the light breeze, hot weather and hot sand.
Beach holiday in July
Where is the best place to go in July? This month, the doors of all the world's sea resorts, so their choice depends solely on your taste preferences and financial capabilities. Budget options, despite the high season, Bulgaria remains, Greece , Türkiye , Cyprus .
The healing atmosphere of pine forests, the purest waters The Adriatic Sea and the charming atmosphere of seaside towns attract Croatia And Montenegro .

The humid climate helps to withstand even the most intense heat, if as a place for sea holiday you have chosen Israel. All-inclusive holidays will be offered by hotels in Tunisia, combining Arabian exoticism and European service. With their luxury and brilliance they will attract United Arab Emirates, where the weather is hot at this time - the water in hotel pools is even specially cooled to make travelers feel comfortable.
The cost of tours will be higher if you go to Portugal or on Cote d'Azur France. Here you will find not only sunny weather and well-groomed, clean beaches, but also excellent service.
Excursion tours in July
.jpg)
High summer temperatures in almost all of Europe do not mean that you need to completely abandon excursions. For example, you can visit any of the Scandinavian countries - Norway, Finland, Denmark or Sweden, visit the Baltic states. There is also always a large selection combined tours, combining sightseeing and beach holidays during
In the summer, interest in traveling to exotic countries traditionally decreases. This is understandable. After all, despite the holiday season, within 3 hours of summer there is a huge selection of resorts where you can be guaranteed to have a good rest with the whole family. In addition, in the Mediterranean the weather is guaranteed to be good almost all summer, while the tropics are unpredictable.
Traditionally, we go to exotic countries in winter without really thinking about climatic features. Just like planning summer holiday in the Mediterranean, we assume that from June to September you can safely travel to any country.
But what about exotic countries in the summer? Demand for Thailand, Cuba, Indonesia and other distant countries decreases during this period and this is understandable, because within 3 hours of summer there is a huge selection of resorts where you can guarantee a good rest for the whole family. If you choose this type of vacation, it is right and comfortable. However, I would like this article to help those who still want to radically change their surroundings, to plunge into a completely different world, not burdened by the endless hum of tourists, boring Turkish all-inclusives, crowded charter flights with inconvenient schedule changes.
The main thing is to understand that the tropics are never dry and the weather is sometimes completely unpredictable, despite many years of statistics and the most professional forecasts. Our world is designed in such a way that the equatorial belt is the wettest on Earth, and nothing can be done about it. But we primarily associate these latitudes with “exoticism”.
When answering questions about the weather, you can simply look at climate tables and confidently lie “it rains there in June.” As a result, you get used to the inevitability of another trip to Turkey or postponing your vacation for six months with the hope that in winter you will still get ready for the trip of your dreams. But the trouble is that by postponing it, the chances of making such a trip are rapidly decreasing.
Don't change yourself and your desires. If you want to go, for example, to Mexico in the summer, don’t mock yourself by studying statistics and reviews about the weather for many days. As a result, you will lose much more - impressions that nothing can replace.
Of course, there are areas and resorts where it is not recommended to travel during the summer months due to the rainy season. Tropical downpours in Indian Goa or the Andaman Sea (Phuket, Langkawi, Krabi, etc.) in June-July can seriously interfere with the long-awaited beach holiday. Do not also forget that in the Southern Hemisphere the summer months mean winter, and the beach season, for example in South Africa, South Australia or Argentina, is closed at this time of year. At the end of summer - September, hurricanes form in the Caribbean Sea, the consequences of which we often see in news releases.
Let's take a closer look at the most popular exotic destinations:
April to September is the best time to travel to Indonesia. It is sunny, dry and not as hot as in winter. However, it should be noted that July-August is the holiday season in Australia and, for example, hotels in Bali are recommended to be booked in advance. In general, natural vagaries should not ruin your trip, be it Bali, Java, Lombok, Sulawesi or lost worlds Flores and New Guinea. Summer is a great time for Indonesia.
From a weather point of view, two radically different directions can be distinguished here: water area Indian Ocean(Penang Island and Langkawi Island) and the waters of the South China Sea (Tioman, Redang, Perhentian, Borneo islands). The main danger of holidays in Penang and Langkwi in the summer comes from large concentrations of jellyfish off the coast of these islands. On all beaches you will see warnings, as well as brief instructions on what to do if you are stung.
In July-August there are especially many of them off the coast of Penang and Langkawi, which makes beach holidays not so attractive. Also during this period, large amounts of rainfall occur off the western coast of Malaysia.
There is no such problem in the South China Sea. The summer season here is good for both beach holidays and diving. We recommend visiting Redang or Perhentian, because in winter these islands are practically closed to visitors, but the nature and wealth underwater world are worth coming here.
It cannot be said for sure that summer in Thailand is the rainy season.. The most unpleasant period in this regard for the islands and resorts of the Andaman Sea (Phuket, Phi Phi, Krabi, Lanta) occurs in August. There are sometimes serious floods here. In Pattaya, as well as on the islands of Koh Samui and Koh Chang, summer is more comfortable. Tropical showers, if they occur, are usually closer to sunset and not so intense.
Central Vietnam (the resorts of Nha Trang and Hoi An) is more attractive for travel in the summer months, because... Precipitation here is sparse and the weather is mostly hot and sunny.
