Where to go

September is the month for anyone not tied to the school calendar: resorts empty out, prices drop 25–35% versus August, and the sea across the Mediterranean holds the maximum warmth it built up all summer. A roundup of 14 destinations from Poland - from Turkey and Greece to the Maldives and Bali - with weather, prices, flights and entry rules, plus a list of places to avoid this month.

Italy is two different countries by the sea: cheap, sandy Adriatic Rimini for families, and the expensive, scenic Italy of the west and islands - Amalfi, Cinque Terre, Sicily, Sardinia, where you pay for views and food. We break down the coasts and islands by beaches, sea, prices and flights from Poland, with the tourist tax, the Venice entry fee, and entry rules.

August is the priciest, most crowded month of the year. Here's how to beat it: 12 destinations from Poland with weather, prices and honest caveats. Mediterranean classics, heat-free Europe, and exotic spots at their seasonal best - Kenya, Bali, Zanzibar, Mauritius.

Costa Brava, Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, the Balearics or the Canaries - "Spain" is five different holidays with different water, prices and taxes. We break it down by region: sea temperature, flight from Poland, the cost of a week for two, and where a tourist tax applies in 2026.

July is the most expensive month to travel from Poland: school holidays push prices 40-60% above June levels, while Rome, Athens and Barcelona bake at +38°C. This guide covers 14 destinations with three strategies: go somewhere the heat is a feature, not a bug; find sea without the crowds; or escape to mountains and the north entirely. For every destination - real temperatures, honest prices and a straight answer on who should skip it.

June has one distinct advantage: schools are still in session, so package prices are 20–30% lower than in July and beaches are half empty. This guide covers 13 destinations with direct flights from Poland: from warm Cyprus and Turkey to exotic Zanzibar and Kenya.

May is one of the most rewarding months to travel from Poland: the sea is warm, the crowds haven't arrived yet, and package prices are noticeably lower than in July or August. For international professionals living and working in Poland, it's a golden window: enough warmth for a genuine beach holiday, low enough prices to stretch a medium or high budget further than you'd expect.
