July is the quintessential month for a European summer escape. With long, sunny days, the continent offers an irresistible mix of idyllic beaches, breathtaking natural wonders, and vibrant city experiences. Sunvil specialises in finding those truly authentic, less-travelled spots where you can immerse yourself in local life, even during peak season. Here are some handpicked destinations perfect for a memorable July getaway.

 

Island Hopping in the Cyclades

For the ultimate Hellenic experience, nothing compares to island hopping in the Cyclades. While islands like Mykonos and Santorini draw the crowds, Sunvil can guide you to quieter, equally stunning gems like Andros, Tinos, or Syros. Spend your days exploring whitewashed villages, swimming in turquoise coves, and feasting on fresh seafood in family-run tavernas. Our 10-night Cyclades Island Hopping itinerary is the perfect opportunity to holiday alongside locals and find Greece's authentic heart. As with all our island hopping holidays we will organise the whole thing - including all transfers and ferries – leaving you to simply enjoy your trip with no worries.

Norwegian Fjords

Escape the heat and witness nature's grandeur in the Norwegian Fjords. July offers the mildest weather and the longest daylight hours, making it ideal for cruising or kayaking through the deep, dramatic waterways carved by glaciers. Base yourself in charming towns like Flåm or Balestrand and embark on hikes with views that defy description. The air is fresh, the landscape is majestic, and the experience is utterly rejuvenating. We highly recommend a stay at the Flåmsbrygga Hotel which offers comfortable guest accommodation in the heart of Flåm, just metres from the waterfront. Each room affords views towards the busy harbour and fjord and, with their pine walls, has a warm and cosy atmosphere.

Gothenburg and the West Coast of Sweden

If you seek a blend of cosmopolitan culture and seaside serenity, head to Gothenburg and the stunning Swedish West Coast. Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city, is renowned for its relaxed vibe, excellent food scene, and beautiful canals. A short drive or ferry ride will take you to the Bohuslän archipelago—a granite-strewn coastal landscape dotted with picturesque fishing villages like Marstrand and Fjällbacka. Enjoy swimming, sailing, and savouring fresh shellfish in the long Scandinavian twilight. The West Coast of Sweden encapsulates the Swedish way of life and our 4-night itinerary 'Fjallbacka: a coastal retreat' highlights some of the best destinations to experience this way of life first-hand.

Midnight Sun in Northern Norway

Experience a phenomenon that defines the Nordic summer: the Midnight Sun. In July, the Lofoten Islands, located far above the Arctic Circle, are bathed in continuous daylight. This allows for endless hours of hiking the jagged peaks, exploring red fishing huts (rorbuer), and enjoying the surprisingly mild climate. The sheer beauty of the dramatic mountains plunging into the sea, all under the glow of the sun that never sets, is a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure. To experience its wild and beautiful landscape, with our 7-night 'Summer in Northern Norway' itinerary, you can explore the Lofoten archipelago, considered to be the most spectacular of all. A distinctive landscape of precipitous mountains and sharp peaks combine with sheltered bays, white sand beaches and traditional fishing communities to form a backdrop that once seen, is never forgotten.

City break to Copenhagen

For a vibrant city experience combined with Scandinavian cool, Copenhagen is unbeatable in July. The city truly comes alive, with locals flocking to outdoor cafes, swimming in the clean harbour baths, and cycling through the charming streets. Explore the colourful harbour of Nyhavn, visit the Tivoli Gardens, and dive into the world-class New Nordic food scene. Copenhagen offers a blend of historic charm and modern design, making for an effortless and stylish city break. Stay 3 nights at the Admiral Hotel which occupies one of the best positions in Copenhagen, directly on the waterfront and a short walk from Nyhavn and a gentle stroll from Amalienborg Palace.

Llafranc in Costa Brava

Trade the bustling resorts of Spain for the sophisticated, low-key charm of Llafranc on the Costa Brava. This former fishing village retains its elegant appeal with a beautiful, sheltered bay, a golden beach, and a scenic promenade lined with excellent restaurants. Llafranc offers a genuine taste of Catalan coastal life—perfect for families or couples seeking sun, delicious food, and a more tranquil atmosphere than its southern neighbours. This is really the most beautiful stretch of coastline in Spain and with a stay at the 3-star, family run Hotel Terramar you really could not get closer to the beach.
