The best vacation destinations in July
Published on 4 juin 2018
Summer holidays are fast approaching and you may not have thought about where to go yet. Don't panic, we've done some research and we offer you an overview of recommended destinations for July.
In this article
1. The Mediterranean
Summer is almost here, the period of long holidays for many of us and our European neighbors. The weather conditions are the best and prices are soaring! Play it safe and opt for one of the Mediterranean countries... Nice weather and warm sea throughout your stay. I already mentioned last month on our Facebook page, but Greece and Crete are among the top destinations for the summer period. Vary your holiday program and opt for Italy! Due to the high temperatures at this time of year, I recommend choosing a base that benefits from a point of water (like a pool, lake), essential in certain regions of the country too far from the sea. Between visits to great monuments and well-deserved relaxation, Italy has everything to please!
Other Mediterranean destinations: Croatia, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Malta, Spain, Portugal, ...

2. Indonesia
July is the ideal month to fly to Indonesia! With its equatorial climate, tempered by maritime winds, you will enjoy very good sunshine punctuated sometimes by some showers and cool winds, which are finally welcome. The only downside is that it is THE best time to come to Bali, so you will not be alone... it's up to you to avoid the most touristy places if you want peace.

3. Australia
You've worked hard all year to afford your vacation? Then go far and long! Aim for northern Australia if you are fond of sun and heat. Darwin, or Alice Springs, cities located in the northern region of Australia, benefit from very good sunshine allowing you to discover the many parks or Australian desert. Nothing prevents you from heading south during your stay to experience the Australian winter!

4. Africa and the Indian Ocean
Want a change of scenery and wide open spaces? Then get your ticket to South Africa or Botswana. July is ideal for a safari. This is not the only point of interest since South Africa, for example, is a country marked by the variety and beauty of its landscapes. American-style big cities, timeless villages, paradisiacal beaches, verdant mountains... the possibilities are vast.
Other ideas: Mauritius, Reunion Island, Madagascar.

4. Northern Europe
Northern countries in summer have as many treasures to offer you as in winter. They offer you a new face full of charm and colors! Once the snow has melted, Nordic landscapes are revealed during more than 20 hours... the sun almost never sets during this period, ideal for exploring the green meadows of Norway, discovering the fjords and the mountains that border them. In the same vein, Iceland reveals itself in its best light in July. The ocean remains very cold at this time of year, but you can take a dip in the hot springs while admiring the landscape. Volcano, lava fields, vast open spaces as far as the eye can see! Nature lovers, Iceland is made for you!
