August is the hottest, busiest month on Europe’s coasts, and also when the sea is at its warmest. The best places to travel in August are the ones that are worth the crowds, and the ones that quietly cost less: Faro instead of Lagos, Pula instead of Dubrovnik, Valencia instead of Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the best places to travel in August, picked from our city guides using their own weather, crowds and daily costs. Almost all of them are in peak season, so book beds as early as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf0d The best places to travel in August<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccd Paros, Greece<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Paros,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

August is peak season on Paros, at about 28\u00b0, and the island’s big festival falls on the 15th. A harbour town around a Byzantine church and a fishing port turned fashionable sit between Naxos and Mykonos in both geography and price. A shoestring day is about \u20ac46.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccd Corfu Town, Greece<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Corfu<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Corfu is at its hottest in August, at about 32\u00b0, and celebrates Saint Spyridon on the 11th. Venetian, French and British in turn, the town has arcaded streets, two fortresses and a cricket pitch in the main square, and the greenest island in Greece starts at its edge. Budget about \u20ac45 a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccd Faro, Portugal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Faro is in peak season in August, at about 29\u00b0, but our guide says it’s far less extreme than Lagos. The walled old town and the lagoon of sandbar islands come at prices a third of what Lagos charges, and a shoestring day is about \u20ac33, the cheapest pick of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccd Ericeira, Portugal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Europe’s only World Surfing Reserve is forty minutes from Lisbon, and in August, at about 25\u00b0, it’s at its busiest. Book weeks ahead and expect crowds in the water. Seven reef breaks run along four kilometres below a whitewashed fishing town. Budget about \u20ac43 a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Valencia guide marks August for La Tomatina, with highs of about 31\u00b0. Eat paella where it was invented, cycle the park in the old riverbed and spend the afternoons on the city beach, with fewer crowds than Barcelona. A shoestring day is about \u20ac41.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

August is peak season in Lecce, at about 32\u00b0, with the feast of Sant’Oronzo and the Taranta. The Baroque carved like lace into golden limestone is the base for the Salento, with two seas and some of the best beaches in Italy. Budget about \u20ac46 a day on a shoestring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pula is busy and hot in August, at about 28\u00b0, with concerts most weeks in a Roman amphitheatre whose outer wall is completely intact. At the tip of Istria, it’s a cheaper Croatian base than Split or Dubrovnik, at about \u20ac41 a day on a shoestring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boka Night makes August Kotor’s busiest month, at about 31\u00b0. The Venetian walls and the climb to the mountain fortress are best at dawn, before the heat and the cruise crowds. Budget about \u20ac38 a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
