The worst part about international travel, especially as we enter the peak season, is that we have to pay thousands of dollars on airfare alone – that puts a big dent in your holiday budget and often requires some sacrifices on the accommodation, food or entertainment side as well.
However, don’t take that as a given.
June is actually the cheapest time of year to travel to some of the most beautiful sunny hubs in the world, and thanks Skyscanner’s pricing toolToday we discover them all.
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
First up, we have a gem from the Dominican Republic that has managed to stay under the radar for far too long: Puerto Plata.
However, all the postcard-like beaches and luxury resorts are doing well, as Americans slowly but surely take notice of the laid-back hub, and airlines in return expand their routes, bringing us more flight schedules and lower prices. in the process.
That’s why you can fly to Puerto Plata and back in June for just $315, and considering the exact same tickets have cost as much as $1027 in the past, that’s a steal!
Santorini, Greece
If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my years of traveling, it’s that there’s no one in this world who hasn’t at least once dreamed of a summer vacation to a Greek island – and if you’re going to travel all the way to Greece, you might as well experience one of the most iconic sights: the white stone houses of Santorini.
However, don’t let the island’s luxurious atmosphere fool you.
In June, round-trip ticket prices start at just $560.
This represents a drop of as much as 67% from the most expensive months, and with many hotels in the area also being reasonably priced ($50-$120 per night), a budget-friendly Greek escape isn’t completely out of the question.
Cagliari, Italy
Moving on to yet another Mediterranean hub, Cagliari promises visitors a tranquil beachside retreat, winding cobbled streets and the freshest seafood you’ll ever try in your life.
Those of you planning a vacation to Italy next month will be happy to hear that flights start at just $625, so if you haven’t already, book those seats now!
Phu Quoc, Vietnam
Not keen on the idea of a European city trip?
Why not set your sights on Phu Quoc? Between all the palm-lined beaches, otherworldly landscapes and vibrant night markets, this criminally underrated Thai center is the perfect summer escape.
Flights to Phu Quoc are slightly more expensive at $979, but considering you’re traveling much further and paying double if you went most other times of the year, I’d say the current deal isn’t to be missed.
Izmir, Turkey
Turkey has been all the rage lately, but while most eyes are on Antalya or Bodrum, there’s one beach gem that doesn’t get nearly as much attention: Izmir.
Most people know the city as a fascinating cultural center, and few have actually been able to admire its balmy weather and white-sand beaches.
And now is the best time to change all that.
In June, round-trip tickets start at $616, so if you want to get the most bang for your buck, you’ll have to act fast.
Panama City, Panama
This time let’s go somewhere closer to home and explore the beach wonder of Panama City.
Whether you’d like to see the historic sights, hike in the tropical rainforests, or simply relax on the soft sands of Long Beach, you only need to set aside $283 for travel in June, so chances are you’ll have enough you have the budget that remains to experience exactly what you want.
Kingston, Jamaica
The list wouldn’t be complete without a classic Caribbean hub, so Kingston, Jamaica, is here to help.
Although Jamaica is best known for its beaches on the north coast, places like Fort Clarence and Dream Beach really live up to the hype, and considering you can get there and back for just $282, it makes the whole experience all the more worth it.
