Where can you go to rest on the sea in August?
In the last month of summer, it is worth taking a closer look at Turkey (a more comfortable climate on the Aegean coast - Bodrum and Marmaris), Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia - at this time, although it is quite hot in these countries, in general the weather is comfortable for relaxation and swimming.
It is rather hot in the eighth month of the year in Italy and Spain - there the thermometer “creeps” up to + 35˚C. But if you decide to bet on Italy, then it is advisable to buy a tour in Rimini - in August it is a little cooler there than, for example, in Sicily.
Prefer warm temperate regions and don't want to travel long distances? The Baltic Sea resorts can be a good option (just in August in Lithuania and Latvia, the sea warms up to pleasant temperatures - up to + 19-20˚C).
Those who decide to relax in Estonia on the Baltic Sea or local lakes can splash in the water, the temperature of which reaches + 24˚C (pay attention to the islands of Muhu and Saaremaa).
Russian tourists should be advised to relax in August on the Black Sea coast - in Sochi, Anapa, Gelendzhik, where they will be able to enjoy swimming in warm water (+ 24˚C). In Russia, if you wish, you can spend your vacation on the banks of the Volga, on Lake Baikal or on Lake Onega.
