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 🌞

Where else can you go on an August holiday?

Is August a good time to go on holiday?

Well that depends what you're looking for, but if you're looking for top-notch weather, then YES - August is arguably the best time of year to travel. In most typical holiday destinations, you'll be blessed with peak summer heat, so don't forget your SPF 😎

Is it possible to find last-minute deals in August?

The start of August is usually the busiest, most spenny time to jet off because of high demand. Everyone wants to go off on their jollies as soon as summer rolls around (we can't blame 'em), but if you stick it out a little longer then you'll sometimes see prices start to fall towards the end of the month. You might even snag a last-minute deal while hotels and airlines try to fill any extra seats or rooms they've got going.

Where's the best place to go on holiday in August?

All our classic holiday faves like Turkey, Greece and Spain are at their peak in August, so if you're looking for sunny beach vibes, those are your guys. If you're looking for somewhere a bit different, though (and maybe a bit less full of kiddos), then places like Croatia and Malta are the perfect combo of summer vibes with a dash of culture.

Where are the cheapest places to go on holiday in August?

With peak summer weather and the kids out of school, August is one of the priciest months for a holibobs, but don't worry - if you keep your eyes peeled then you can still bag one heck of a deal. Try looking in places like Turkey for top-notch value, and Spain for a ton of budget-friendly hotels. Going all-inclusive is another great way to save some cash if you're worried about forking out for food, drink and entertainment.

Whatever your holiday style, if you book at least 45 days in advance, then we've got low deposits and a FlexiPay scheme to lighten the load a smidge, because just like Gretchen was determined to make 'fetch' a thing in Mean Girls, we're determined to make cheap holidays a thing - all year round, baby 😎
