Looking for an exotic escape? June is your last call to visit Turkey and Kazakhstan before the height of the summer heat arrives.

• Book flights to Almaty. June is an excellent time for trekking to Lake Kaindy and Big Almaty Lake. In the city itself, take the cable car up to Kok Tobe Hill for sweeping views and step inside the striking Ascension Cathedral. For lunch, head to a local chaikhana and try beshbarmak or manty. For dessert, wander through the Green Bazaar for fresh nuts and regional cheeses.
• Book flights to Istanbul. In June, temperatures in Turkey are ideal for sightseeing without the intense heat. Visit Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern, then browse the Grand Bazaar for sumac and halva. Hop on a ferry to Kadıköy on the Asian side to try balık ekmek (a grilled fish sandwich). Round off the day in one of the cozy bars in the Galata district.

Dreaming of the perfect June getaway? Book flights across Europe and enjoy unforgettable moments in Oslo, Copenhagen, or Brussels. Discover our top European holiday destinations for June.

Is June a good time to book a flight to Copenhagen? Absolutely. To experience the city like a local, hire a bike and cycle to Nyhavn, the colorful harbor lined with historic townhouses. Instead of dining in expensive restaurants, pick up a smørrebrød (an open sandwich on rye bread) and enjoy it by the waterfront—in summer, life naturally shifts to the canals. Make sure to visit Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world, which in June bursts into bloom with flowers.

June is a great time to visit Costa Brava, take a stroll down La Rambla, and taste fresh juices at La Boqueria Market. The Mediterranean Sea and sunny beaches are the perfect addition.
• Or maybe a flight to Mallorca? Head to Valldemossa for traditional potato pastries (coca de patata), or enjoy one of the stunning beaches by the Mediterranean, with crystal-clear waters perfect for splashing around with the kids.

Looking for the perfect June holiday destination? Greece smells of dried oregano, ripening tomatoes, and sea breeze. So where should you go with kids in June? We recommend Thessaloniki and Heraklion.

• Book flights to Thessaloniki. This is the ideal destination for families who love discovering cities through their cuisine. Be sure to try bougatsa, a crispy pastry filled with warm cream and cinnamon. Thessaloniki is a great base for the sandy beaches of Halkidiki, and the seaside promenade is perfect for evening walks.
• Book flights to Heraklion. Crete is the ultimate holiday spot where your kids will feel like explorers at the Knossos Palace, looking for the tracks of the mythical Minotaur. After a lesson in history, relax on the sandy beaches near Heraklion, ideal for building sandcastles and learning to swim.

A wine tasting is the perfect prelude to an evening rabelo boat cruise along the river.
