July holidays
July holidays remain extremely popular each year, and give families the chance to spend precious quality time together whilst enjoying trips away during the school holidays. An ideal time to visit many of the coastal resorts in the Mediterranean, July holidays mean guaranteed weather conditions for family games and relaxation on the beach, with blue skies, temperatures in the high 20C's and long hours of glorious sunshine being typical for the month.

July holidays - School holiday time, busy beaches, soaring temperatures
Established resorts with plenty of facilities for children are always popular for a July holiday, with favourites such as the Greek Islands, the Balearics and mainland Spain offering a wide choice of accommodation and entertainment options. July holidays should generally be booked up well in advance, to secure the resort and even the hotel or apartment that you may have selected, as well as convenient flight times, especially when travelling with children. July holidays with activities for kids tend to be in high demand, especially those resorts which boast Kids' clubs, creches and babysitting facilities, offering parents a few hours to themselves and a little time to completely switch off. Self-catering is a flexible and cost-effective option for a July holiday, however many travellers opt for the stress-free approach and enjoy the ease and convenience of a hotel or even an all-inclusive resort. Although a pricier alternative, all-inclusive July holidays are a great choice for those with children, enabling guests to truly relax knowing all expenses are already taken care of.

July holidays - Popular time of year for travel, especially families
Prices for July holidays tend to remain high, with peak season package deals being highly sought after during this busy travel time. There are discounted July holidays to be found however, with late availability deals offered for the flexible traveller. For anyone who is not restricted by school holiday dates, such as couples, groups and singles, July holidays are not ideal, as resorts do tend to be busier with more crowds and higher prices, with June and September being better alternatives.
