July is the peak of vacations and holidays. This is not only the hottest month of summer, but together with August it is also the most expensive. It is in July that there is a great demand for tourist packages, air tickets, and accommodation bookings. We have prepared an overview of countries and resorts where you can go in July - to the sea, abroad, in Russia, with children.
The best beach destinations for a holiday in July are European resorts. The best holiday for children and adults in Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Portugal, Slovenia, Bulgaria is guaranteed.
Tunisia
Tunisia is another visa-free and inexpensive summer destination. In summer it is hot in Tunisia - air temperature +35, water temperature +27. During the day we escape under the air conditioning, the rest of the time we swim. And here there are great conditions for this - beaches with white sand that looks like flour, warm water, a gentle entrance to the sea.
Where to relax in Tunisia
Djerba- a small island off the African coast. The resort does not have any distinctive features other than snow-white sand, blinding the eyes in the sun, and an unusually clear and clean sea.
Sousse– the youngest and noisiest resort in Tunisia. The color matches: a whole port of pleasure boats, golf courses and dozens of nightclubs.
Hammamet– a calm and conservative resort, designed for wealthy middle-class European tourists. The calling card of this place is modern thalassotherapy centers and luxurious gardens, in which almost every building is immersed.
There are quite a lot of families with children in Cyprus and there are a lot of recreational conditions for them. The main thing is to choose the right place. Ayia Napa is the most popular resort in Cyprus, but this is where adults without children should go; it is a noisy youth resort with bars and discos. But if suddenly you went on vacation with your grandparents (that is, with whom to leave the children in the evening), you can safely go to Ayia Napa.
For those who prefer a quiet family holiday, who need peace and comfort, it is better to stay in Protaras. There is white sand, clean blue water, developed infrastructure in the form of hotels and shops.
How to get there. This is an island, so only by plane. There are two airports on the island - Larnaca and Paphos. Most flights fly to Larnaca, while charters fly to Paphos.
Where to stay in Cyprus. For the summer, most hotels have been sold out since March. If there is nothing suitable on Booking.com, try Hotelook - here you can search for hotels, apartments, houses and villas in different booking systems.
Montenegro
If you don’t want to bother with a visa, Montenegro is another great addition to Turkey. The temperature at all resorts in Montenegro will be more comfortable compared to the Turkish Riviera - there is no sweltering heat - air +27-30, water +25. Pebble beaches, crystal clear water, magnificent nature. Amazingly delicious cuisine and wonderful attitude of Montenegrins.
Where to relax in Montenegro
Budva. A city on the Adriatic coast in the resort area of the Budva Riviera. Known for sandy beaches and nightclubs. In the center is the Old Town, which is surrounded by fortified walls.
Becici. These are two small villages near the center of Budva, one and a half kilometers from each other. They are attracted by beaches and developed, well-functioning infrastructure.
Petrovac. A small resort town 17 km from Budva. Petrovac is surrounded by pine forests and olive groves. It has a calm atmosphere.
There is no point in taking excursions in Montenegro. It’s better to rent a car and see the natural beauty of both Montenegro and neighboring Balkan countries. You can travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and Serbia without a visa. We recommend renting a car from - this is an international broker, originally from Montenegro.
You can travel to Montenegro on a tour package or on your own. During the season, both Russian and foreign airlines offer good prices for air tickets. For example, consistently low prices for air tickets to Podgorica and Tivat are offered by Air Serbia with transit in Belgrade. Serbia is a visa-free country; during a long transit, you can walk around Belgrade (not to be confused with Belgorod 😉). We especially recommend ordering it to your hotel or apartment in Montenegro.
Croatia
Croatia offers excellent climatic conditions for holidays. There are no sudden temperature changes here - from incredible heat during the day to cool nights. +29+30 air, +25 water, the heady aroma of the sea breeze, mixed with pine scents that grow right on the shore.
Many beaches in Croatia have the Blue Flag for cleanliness. The only negative is that the beaches are mostly pebble or concrete slabs. Prices for hotel accommodation in the summer are quite high, but the same cannot be said about the service. Croatia is not the cheapest country.
Where to relax in Croatia
Istria Peninsula - resorts Porec, Umag, Rovinj.
Porec- an unusually picturesque seaside town with blue lagoons and forests, small streets and cozy restaurants. This is an excellent choice for a holiday in Croatia for a couple in love, but it is also suitable for families with children.
Umag. Comfortable hotels and cozy bungalows of this resort are suitable for lovers and families with children. Umag is the westernmost city in Croatia, so it is convenient to go on excursions to neighboring Venice, Ljubljana and other European cities from here.
In Rovinj and Umag, housing will be slightly more expensive than in Porec.
Middle Dolmatia— the resorts of Brela and Makarska are popular among tourists from Germany. Dubrovnik is one of the most popular resorts in Croatia. People come here to relax both for a long time and for day tours. Dubrovnik is popular because the Game of Thrones series was filmed here.
If you prefer to buy air tickets and book a hotel yourself instead of a trip to Croatia, then look for air tickets to Zagreb - the capital, Pula - closest to the Istrian peninsula or Dubrovnik. In the summer, you can find relatively cheap air tickets for direct flights from Moscow and St. Petersburg from Croatia Airlines and connecting flights from Air Serbia and Aegean.
Italy
July in Italy is the hottest month. It is certainly one of the most beautiful countries in the world and there is a lot to see. But in summer, excursions in Italy are best combined with a beach holiday.
Where to relax in Italy
The best beach holiday awaits you in Sardinia and Sicily. The most romantic places are the Amalfi Coast - Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento, the island of Ischia or in Liguria - the famous cities. The regions of Tuscany and Puglia are suitable for traveling with children, and the most inexpensive holiday with children awaits you in the Adriatic Sea resorts of Rimini and Riccione. From here you can go on day trips to Verona, Venice, Florence.
Slovenia
Few domestic tourists choose Slovenia as a summer beach holiday. And completely in vain. Slovenia is a small European country, with an area equal to half the Moscow region. But this small area also contains Alpine meadows, magnificent mountains, lakes and 46 km of the Adriatic coast.
Where to relax in Slovenia
Beach holidays - the fashionable popular resort of Portoroz, Piran - the clearest sea and Italian flavor, because the city is located on the border with the neighboring country, Izola - a hangout for surfers, elegant Koper.
Tired of seaside resorts, just a few hours by car and you can relax on the stunning lakes Bled and Bohinj, which have become the hallmark of Slovenia. Or get some treatment at thermal health resorts. For example, Rogaška Slatina, Moravske Toplice and Radenci with miraculous mineral water, Strunjan with healing mud, Dobrna, Terme Čatež, Rogla and Terme Zreče with thermal springs.
You can get to Slovenia by plane. Look for flights to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, which many call little Prague. Or you can fly to Italy and travel to Slovenia on it. There will be no additional documents or commissions for this, because there is no border. After entering the territory of Slovenia, at the first gas station, buy a vignette for the duration of your stay - a sticker on the windshield for using the roads, it costs only a few euros.
Spain

How we are looking forward to our vacation! How happy we are that it finally falls in the middle of summer! But where to go on vacation in July after a busy year of work? When deciding on a trip, you should remember that July is the hottest summer month. For example, in Egypt in July the thermometer rises to +45°C.

Asia
July is considered the peak tourist season. Children all over the northern hemisphere are on vacation, there are crowds of tourists everywhere, and enteroviruses are flourishing in the seas and swimming pools. Sounds too tasty for you? Relax at home in the last 2 summer months!
Where is the warm sea in July
The Canaries enjoy sunny weather and cool ocean all year round, and July is no exception. To visit the Canary Islands you will need a Schengen visa.
The season continues in July in the Seychelles and Mauritius; visas are not required for these countries.
In Asia, among the visa-free destinations in July you can swim and there is no rain (! by visa-free I also mean those where a visa can be obtained at the arrival airport!):
- on Koh Samui (the rest of Thailand has a rainy season),
— in the east of Sri Lanka (in the southwest of the island it rains),
- in the west of Malaysia,
— on the island of Bali, Indonesia.
Of the Asian visa destinations, only Singapore is good.
All of Europe, Turkey, Cyprus, the Black Sea coast, the Middle East - no, it’s too hot. But, if you really want to, then it’s better to go to Europe and the Black Sea coast, and better in the first half of July, and not in the second.
Where is it not hot in July?
In July, you can hide from the heat in the Baltic states (a Schengen visa is required for Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) and in the Kaliningrad region. Swimming in the Baltic is questionable throughout the summer, but the likelihood of a beach holiday is highest in the second half of July - the first half of August.
Where you shouldn't go on vacation in July
Greece, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Cyprus and Turkey become too hot in July: temperatures exceed 35C.
It is also hot on the Black Sea coast (in Russia, Abkhazia, Georgia and Crimea), and intestinal infections increase in the water towards the end of the month.
July is the rainy season in Goa, Thailand, southwest Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and Hainan, China. It’s definitely not worth spending money on Southeast Asia in the summer months.
In Tunisia, Morocco, throughout the Middle East (Emirates, Israel, Jordan, Egypt) the temperature exceeds 40C. This is not just uncomfortable, it is dangerous for an unprepared body.
July is the best time to relax. The Earth turns to the Sun in the right direction and at the angle we need, so the nights are short, the days are long, and the weather is warm. But something tells us that you already know all this, so let’s discard these lyrics that are inappropriate for hot days and see where to go in July 2020 in Russia.
Krasnodar region
This region of Russia has access to two seas at once - and there are entire countries where there is not a single sea, but here in one region there are two at once: the Black Sea and the Azov Sea. Therefore, the sea god himself ordered us to rest here in July.
The most popular resorts in the region remain Sochi, Anapa and Gelendzhik. The water in the Black Sea warms up to +25 °C in July, and you can practically live in it without getting out. The holiday includes all modern entertainment, without which tourism would become incomplete: surfing, diving, water skiing. For a change, you can visit a dolphinarium or a water park, of which there are plenty along the entire coast. Near Sochi there are caves, dolmens, and waterfalls that invite you to take an excursion.
The resorts of the Azov Sea - in Yeisk, the village of Golubitskaya and on the Dolzhanskaya Spit - are even warmer than on the Black Sea coast. The whole family usually comes here, including the little ones. Tourists praise this region for its sandy beaches and coastline with a gentle entrance to the water. There are no problems with infrastructure either: amusement parks and water parks will add color to your fun and inexpensive holiday.
Where to stay:
Crimea
The resorts of Crimea are now at the peak of popularity, and there is not a bit of political order in this statement, it’s just that a lot of vacationers really come here. Yalta, Sevastopol, Alushta, Feodosia, Evpatoria - these are excellent places where you can relax in July at a very reasonable price.
Crimea, like the Krasnodar region, is lucky with the seas: there is both the Black and Azov seas. However, the Black Sea coast is more popular. By mid-July the air becomes very warm, if not hot. If you are not afraid of ultraviolet rays, choose the western coast of Crimea. And on the southern coast you can find more shadows - thanks to the local vegetation.
The main entertainment, in addition to beach holidays, is diving, jet skiing and catamarans. You can visit all kinds of attractions, frolic in water parks and dolphinariums, and admire the inhabitants of zoos. It’s too hot for excursions in July, but if you have the strength and desire, it’s worth visiting the Crimean palaces, mountains and waterfalls, because all of this.
Baltika
The Baltic climate is milder than the Black Sea, so those who want to relax at the sea and avoid the heat should come here to the Kaliningrad region. The average temperature on the Baltic coast in July is about +23 °C during the day, and at night +15 °C. The main resorts in these regions where you can go in July are Svetlogorsk and Zelenogradsk. It’s just a stone’s throw from Kaliningrad - not a resort city, but at least stylish in a European way, with interesting architecture that cannot be found in the rest of Russia.
The Baltic has cool water even in July, so the duration of water treatments here is short - tourists mostly relax on the sand, sunbathe, walk and engage in applied sports. The Curonian Spit stands apart, combining forests and sandy shores. The beaches on the spit are mostly wild.
Where to stay:
Moscow and St. Petersburg
It’s clear that summer is primarily a seaside holiday. But not always and not for everyone. If the shores of distant seas do not attract you, it’s time to travel around mainland Russia, and why not go to the capital, especially since we have two of them: one is cultural, and the other is the real one, without any reservations.
July Moscow looks festive: the sun is shining, the trees are rustling, numerous flower beds and lawns are pleasing to the eye, tiles and paving stones invite you to walk around. In addition to the classic Red Square, Arbat and VDNKh, in July they attract: Gorky Park, Neskuchny Garden, Sparrow Hills.
Another option for an inexpensive holiday in July is to go to St. Petersburg and capture the last days of the white nights, forgive the pun. Of course, the travel program will also include fairly standard, but no less romantic St. Petersburg entertainment: walks along Nevsky Prospect and contemplation of the raised bridges, excursions to the suburbs of St. Petersburg and visits to numerous museums and palaces.
