As the monsoon season approaches, we bid farewell to clear, sunny days and brace ourselves for heavy rains and typhoons. While travel in the Philippines is still possible during this time, frequent rain showers can disrupt travel plans, especially if you are planning a beach trip. But if you're dreaming of a sun-soaked getaway between June and September, it's the perfect opportunity to consider a Mediterranean vacation. While it rains in the Philippines, it's summer in many parts of the world—including the Mediterranean—offering ideal conditions for beach lovers. Here are some Mediterranean destinations worth exploring this season.

  1. Spain

From June to September, Spain comes alive with vibrant festivals, sunny weather, and endless outdoor adventures, perfect for travelers seeking a rich and exciting experience. As summer hits its peak, the country buzzes with energy. Expect long, sunny days with temperatures often rising above 30°C. Whether you're exploring ancient ruins, lounging on golden beaches, or joining in lively celebrations, there's no shortage of things to do. The coastal regions also offer a refreshing escape from the inland heat, making them ideal for hiking and seaside relaxation.

  1. Turkey

June marks the beginning of Turkey’s peak travel season, bringing warm temperatures and an influx of visitors. Coastal areas along the Mediterranean and Aegean seas have become popular spots, thanks to their cool sea breezes and picturesque views. Meanwhile, major cities like Istanbul and Ankara tend to be less crowded, offering a quieter, more personal glimpse into Turkey’s rich cultural and historical landmarks, perfect for those who don’t mind a bit of heat.

  1. Greece

Greece is at its most lively from June to August, when tourism is in full swing and the weather is perfect for seaside escapes. Although temperatures soar, the crystal-clear blue waters provide welcome relief, especially in July. For those in search of stunning beaches and vibrant nightlife, Mykonos and Santorini are a must-visit. With clear skies, warm seas, and postcard-worthy views, summer is the ideal season to experience Greece’s natural beauty and festive spirit.
