The Mediterranean is not one destination but a temperament: late dinners, warm stone, water that stays swimmable long after northern Europe has given up.

Frequently asked questions
Which Mediterranean country has the best hotels?
By verified guest score, Italy and Greece lead our collection on volume, while Croatia and Portugal deliver the strongest value at comparable ratings.
How hot is the Mediterranean in August?
Increasingly uncomfortable inland and in the southern basin. Our readers increasingly shift to June and September, or move north for a coolcation.
When is the sea warmest?
August and early September — the sea lags the air by several weeks, which is why September swimming is so consistently praised in reviews.
