Setting off in June naturally means heading to the Mediterranean beaches. In Greece, on the islands and inland, summer is definitely settling in. In Spain, temperatures are still pleasant, even though the siesta sets the pace of the days. In Dubrovnik, Croatia, life unfolds in the shade of the city walls before a well-deserved ice cream. Further north, Ireland and its green countryside welcome those who do not take the heat so well. For a change of scenery, Malaysia offers a different atmosphere, with Kuala Lumpur looking eagerly towards the future.
Straddling spring and summer, the month of June is a particularly pleasant time to explore Greece. Greek hospitality is experienced under a sun that already shines brightly, sending temperatures soaring beneath inevitably blue skies. The Mediterranean climate bathes the country in its warmth, from the Ionian Islands to the famed Cyclades, and from the Acropolis of Athens to the Peloponnese. The scents are enhanced and the light is abundantly reflected on the lily-white façades.

Travelling to Malaysia in June offers many advantages. At this time of year, on the east coast of the peninsula and in the south-west, the heat remains perfectly bearable and showers are never long. Other regions, such as the west coast, experience a peak in humidity. Lagoons and white sand beaches stretch across the Perhentian Islands. There, you can enjoy the turquoise water and a leisurely read. Amid Kuala Lumpur’s towering skyscrapers, the future seems tangible. Given the blend of cultures that has taken place in the Malaysian capital, there is no doubt it will be cosmopolitan. Across the South China Sea, the island of Borneo also holds its share of surprises: such as an encounter with orangutans.

Like any Mediterranean country, Spain enjoys an exceptional climate in June, making it a top destination. The sun already dominates a blue sky that it never truly abandons, even outside the high season. In the south, the afternoon heat peaks make the traditional siesta almost a must between visits to the marvels of Arab-Andalusian heritage. Medieval Toledo, royal Madrid and the ever-popular Costa Brava have nothing to be ashamed of either, unless, perhaps of the heat. But Spain also offers a slightly cooler Atlantic coast, where it is pleasant to seek shelter.

At the crossroads of Central Europe and Mediterranean influences, Croatia showcases a dual character, which is reflected in its landscapes. In the interior, a continental climate prevails, while the coast enjoys typical Mediterranean temperatures. The month of June and its generous sunshine provide the perfect setting for a getaway along the Dalmatian coast, from Dubrovnik to Zadar via Split. Equally pleasant is a trip through Istria, where olive trees and oaks stretch right down to the gentle waters of the Adriatic Sea.

While few travellers head to Ireland to perfect their tan, it's worth noting that June is the sunniest month of the year. The moorlands of green pastures beneath a beautiful blue sky create a harmonious mix. But the clouds, like pubs and the locals' hospitaliy, are an integral part of the experience. Early summer sees Dublin bustling with lively entertainment and festivals. The rest of the country reveals its rural charm and its old manor houses, which have been successfully converted into bed & breakfasts.
