Where to go travel in the second half of summer
Top 5 affordable beach vacation options for 2023
Hello!
fedafone team has never understood why beaches in the summer act like a magnet for such a lot of people, who start to complain about the heat and sunburn from day 1. But if you're a fan of basking in the hot sun, especially in August, then check out our personal top 5 affordable beach vacation options for 2023.
1. Türkiye (Turkey)
August, like July, is the peak season in Türkiye. The beaches are crowded with tourists, the markets are full of fresh vegetables and fruits and there's a lively atmosphere at all the popular resorts. In August, it can be too hot for families with children in Alanya, Antalya, Kemer, and Side, so many tourists prefer resorts on the Aegean Sea coast, where the temperature rarely rises above +33 °C.
2. Cyprus
In August, Cyprus, located near Turkey, becomes a popular resort for tourists. However, the hot summer weather can affect the excursion program, so it's better to spend time diving, visiting the Troodos Mountains, or going to water parks. In the evening, life on the island is bustling, as Europeans and locals also vacation in August. Cyprus is also famous for its festivals, including the wine festival in Limassol, where you can try different types of wine from all over the island and enjoy traditional music. Throughout the month, there are also village festivals where guests can enjoy local culture and hospitality.
3. UAE
A trip to the United Arab Emirates in August is only suitable for those who can handle the heat. At the end of summer, the temperature rises to an unbearable +40 °C, and the water in the Persian Gulf heats up to +33 °C. It's not worth going to the UAE for a beach vacation, especially with children, but you can visit local shops, parties, night desert tours, and get to know Arab culture. In addition, the prices for vacation during this period are very attractive.
4. Egypt
In Egypt, August is the hottest month of the year, when the temperature can reach +40...+45 °C, and the sea water heats up to +30 °C. Despite this, all beaches, water parks, and amusement parks are in full swing, and hotel animators try to entertain children who are tired of the heat. However, you can go on a night hike to Mount Sinai or stargaze in the desert, where it's much cooler and more exotic.
5. Tunisia
August in Tunisia is 1000 kilometers of magnificent sandy beaches, warm Mediterranean Sea and no rain. In Monastir, Sousse, and Hammamet, the temperature rarely drops below +32 °C at the end of summer, and the water heats up to +27 °C. Although it may be too hot for long excursions, tourists can enjoy thalassotherapy, for which Tunisia is famous, as well as water activities such as diving, yacht rides, surfing, and windsurfing.
Don't forget to drink water, apply sunscreen with a high level of sun protection, and enjoy a well-deserved rest!
