With temperatures up in the 30s in Israel throughout the month of August it's definitely a destination for those who like the heat. The warm days lend themselves well to visiting vineyards, olive groves, beaches and the Dead Sea, taking in the country's beautiful natural landscapes. Israel is, of course, a destination with a rich and tumultuous history too, so exploring Jerusalem, Jericho, the Kursi National Park and the tree-lined Kisalon River are a must.

Croatia is an incredible summer destination as it offers everything from mainland national parks and cities like Dubrovnik as well as boasting a collection of pristine islands like Hvar, Pag and Korcula that are just waiting to be explored. Croatia has also become a hotspot for epic summer festivals with top artists and DJs playing at gigs like Outlook, Sonus, Defected, Barrakud and Dimensions to name but a few!

The Cape Verde islands are nestled in the waters off the west coast of Africa and as such feature amazing year-round temperatures that are ideal for beach breaks at any time. August boasts daily averages in the high 20s which allow you to really make the most of the islands' endless beaches and laid-back way of life. Sal, the most well-known island, is renowned for its white sand and warm turquoise water and there are a number of great hotels to choose from.
