Weather in Antalya in August
August boasts 27°C temps in Antalya, so pack light and prepare for some sizzlin'. You've got epic resorts, delish food (if you haven't tried a Turkish kebab yet, you need to), and tons of beaches to sprawl out on. 200 Blue Flag ones, if we're counting. Belek alone has 16km of pure sandy goodness up its sleeve, but if you're not a fan of getting sand all up in your bits and bobs, then there are plenty of watersports to try your hand at too. Splash about, keep it chill onshore, dive into the local food scene or dance the night away - we've got cheap holidays in August for it all. Whatever you're into, Antalya holidays are the full package 🎁
Weather in Crete in August
Searching for that August heat? The answer's Crete 🌞And not just because it makes a really good rhyme. With 26°C vibes, golden beaches and streets bursting with colour, it's THE summer spot. Beyond the sunbathing scene, this gem dishes up drool-worthy Greek treats (hello, feta-filled salads) and fresh seafood with seaside views. And for all you party animals? Malia’s club scene is practically legendary. Think sunrise parties and epic DJ sets. A Crete holiday? That's summer done right 😎
Weather in the Balearics in August
Got summer on the brain? Haven't we all. The weather back home might not be delivering, but the Balearics - especially trusty ol' Majorca - definitely is. Sitting comfortably in the 25°C zone, it's toasty without the sizzle and has over 260 beaches up its sleeve - so you won't be short of places to plonk down a towel. But Majorca's more than just coastlines – think Roman ruins, gothic cathedrals, and scrummy food - from tapas and paella to freshly-caught seafood. Party in Magaluf, sightsee in Alcudia, or get your splash on at one of the waterparks. Majorca holidays in August understood the assignment 🌞
If you want guaranteed heat without a long-haul flight, Cyprus is hard to beat in August. Coastal temps sit around 27°C with virtually zero chance of rain, and the sea's a bath-warm 27°C, so no shivery psyching yourself up before a dip. Ayia Napa brings the party, with legendary nightlife and Nissi Beach practically glowing turquoise, while Protaras next door keeps things quieter with stunning Fig Tree Bay and a properly family-friendly vibe. Paphos is your pick if ancient ruins and harbourside sunsets are more your speed. Chuck in halloumi straight off the grill, ice-cold Keo beer and 13 hours of daily sunshine, and you've got yourself a proper scorcher of a holiday 🔥
