When to go

September gives Tunisia its warmest sea of the year - 27-28C off Djerba - at prices 25-35% below the first week of the month. Five resort areas compared on air, sea, flight time from Warsaw and cost in PLN, plus the mid-month date that changes everything.

A breakdown of why September is the only month in the Turkish year when the coast, Cappadocia and Istanbul are all in season simultaneously, how the Mediterranean and Aegean diverge as the month goes on, when the window actually closes, what the accommodation tax change means for your bill, and the entry rules that depend on your passport rather than your residence in Poland.

A week-by-week breakdown of how the heat eases through the month, why the Red Sea reaches its warmest point of the year just as the air becomes manageable, how Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh, Marsa Alam and Dahab genuinely differ, why Luxor and the Pyramids are the wrong plan this month, plus prices, reef safety and the 2026 visa changes.

In August the Spanish themselves leave their own cities, and that's the best signal of where not to be this month. We break it down honestly: how hot it gets in Madrid, Seville and along the coasts, why the Canary Islands are cooler than the mainland in August, what's shut for the whole month, how much the Catalonia tourist taxes now cost, and who should move their trip.

Before a trip to Thailand in August, everyone checks the rain forecast, and the disappointment arrives from a completely different direction - from the sea. We break it down honestly: what "the rainy season" really means, why red flags fly on the west coast this month, which islands are shut until mid-October, where in Thailand it's dry in August, and how much you can save in low season.

August is Turkey's most expensive and most crowded month, but one decision matters more than price: which coast you pick. We break it down honestly - how the Mediterranean around Antalya differs from Aegean Bodrum, why the meltemi wind changes everything, which excursions to skip this month, and who barely notices the August heat.

August is the one month Egypt sells at a 30–40% discount, and that isn't operator generosity. The honest breakdown: how hot Hurghada and Sharm actually get, why a +30°C sea doesn't cool you down, which excursions to skip entirely, and who gets that discount almost for free.
