Where to go in June

Where to go in June

The arrival of June should mean that summer is well and truly underway in the UK, with sunny pub gardens leaving you longing for an even sunnier escape. Southern Europe heats up this month, with warm cocktail-fuelled evenings awaiting your arrival in Spain and Greece. Meanwhile, June marks festival season in Croatia, drawing music lovers from far and wide. Further north, Iceland experiences the ‘Midnight Sun’ – a natural phenomenon resulting in almost 24-hour daylight (night owls, take note). If it’s wildlife watching you’re after, head to Botswana, where animals congregate around water sources. Or chase the sun to Malaysia’s east coast, where the weather is at its best. Feeling inspired? Read on for our top picks of where to go in June...

BEST PLACES TO TRAVEL IN JUNE

Greece

Greece

Set your sights on a trip to Greece in June for sightseeing under the sizzling summer glow. The Med waters are deliciously warm and boats are setting sail on island-hopping holidays. Hotel doors are flinging open, too. Opt for boho retreats hidden on crumbling clifftops or stone-clad villas nestled in lush orchards. With summer in full swing, it’s prime time to hop around the Greek islands. Venture to the sunny Cyclades for sapphire seas and muscular mountains, or head to the Dodecanese archipelago for ancient wonders and sandy coves.

Botswana

Botswana

June is one of the best months of the year to visit Botswana. The dry season has begun (lasting until around October) and daily temperatures average a lovely 25°C. While the days are usually sunny, the mornings and evenings can be chilly, particularly in the Kalahari – so be sure to pack extra layers. Head to Chobe National Park to spot elephants gathering at watering holes and predators roaming the open plains. Despite the dry season, the waterways of the Okavango Delta are often at their highest levels in June – so hop in a traditional mokoro dugout canoe and cruise down the delta with your binoculars in hand.

Spain

Spain

As June rolls around in Spain, summer has officially arrived, bringing with it scorching temperatures. Coats are off and flip-flops are on for strolls through sun-drenched piazzas and evenings spent with sangria-swilling locals. Head south to Andalucia for beachside bliss and toasty temperatures (sometimes soaring as high as 40°C), or make your way to busy Barcelona for a cooler cultural escape. After wandering through Montjuic Park and admiring Casa Batllo, let loose and celebrate festival season in the city.

Croatia

Croatia

A trip to Croatia in June is all about embracing the great outdoors. Sail around the emerald waters of the Elaphiti Islands, or lace up your hiking boots for a trek through Plitvice National Park. Ready to relax? Wander through the cobbled streets of Dubrovnik or savour the fresh seafood in Istria while soaking up the sun (with temperatures hovering around 23°C). Music festivals are also in full swing in June, so take your pick from Croatia’s sprinkling of islands for a slice of summer serenity.
