Where else can you catch up with the fleeting summer

If you are lucky, you can even get a tan without leaving the country. The swimming season on the Black Sea usually lasts until the end of October. The hottest days, of course, fall in July and August, but at the same time the number of vacationers and accommodation prices reach their peak. From the second half of September, hotel room prices decrease, and the average monthly air temperature is still 23-24 degrees. Many people quite reasonably believe that this is the optimal time for a holiday on the Black Sea coast.

Turkey is also ready to welcome lovers of sea bathing until the end of October. True, you need to keep in mind that the evenings will no longer be as warm as in summer, and you will need a sweater and trousers for moonlit walks. By that time it will become quite cool in Bodrum and Marmaris, and charter flights will stop by mid-October. In October, rains are likely in Kemer, which is located on the slopes of the mountains. But Belek, Side, and especially Alanya, where the season lasts until early November, are just what fans of seaside holidays need. The average air temperature in mid-autumn is 26-28 degrees there, and the water temperature is 23-24. In addition, prices at this time fall by almost a quarter, and hotels run many special promotions.

Paradoxically, in the south of Spain, due to the cold current running along the coast, the swimming season will end earlier than in the north. Therefore, on the Costa del Sol you needed to go before the 20th of September. But on the Costa Brava, thanks to the warm current, you can swim in October as well. Comfortable rest awaits you in the Valencian Community, consisting of three provinces - Castellón, Valencia, and Alicante. In summer it is unbearably hot there, so many people specifically choose the period from October to December, when the air temperature is 30-33 degrees. We advise you to go there for two weeks and devote one of them to sightseeing: only in Indian summer will neither heat nor rain prevent you from spending the whole day in the city.

It is also best to go to Cyprus in October. You can choose any resort: October in Cyprus is the height of the season. The average air temperature will be 27 degrees, and the water temperature 22. Even at noon there will be no exhausting heat, and you can lie on the beach without fear of the scorching sun rays. Moreover, you can go on an extremely healthy vitamin diet - at this time there are many cheap fruits here.

We also would not advise going to Tunisia in the height of the season, for example in August, when the air temperature reaches 40 degrees. It is most comfortable there during the velvet season: the air temperature is 29 degrees above zero, and the sea warms up to 22. The swimming season lasts here until mid-November, and the charter program continues to operate until November. Relaxing in mid-autumn is especially pleasant because after September 10, hotels introduce 30-50% discounts on accommodation.

In conclusion, we offer a summary table of meteorological conditions in popular tourist countries around the world.
