What Are the Most Popular Summer Destinations?

Summer is one of the busiest seasons for travel. Beaches, new cities, islands, and summer resorts attract millions of travelers every year. In 2026, Southern European destinations such as Greece, Spain, and Italy continue to stand out for strong international travel demand.

When planning a trip, however, flights and accommodation are not the only things to consider. Another important part of your travel preparation is travel internet. Using maps, ordering a taxi, contacting your hotel, finding tickets, or sharing photos on social media can be much more difficult without an internet connection.

Let’s take a look at some of the most popular summer destinations and how eSIM travel internet can help you stay connected during your trip.

🇹🇷 Turkey – Beaches, Resorts, and Cities

Turkey is one of the most popular summer destinations for travelers looking for seaside holidays and plenty of options. Antalya, Marmaris, Bodrum, and other resort areas are especially popular during the summer months. Istanbul also remains a popular city destination throughout the year.

Having internet access in Turkey can be particularly useful for Google Maps, finding transportation, communicating with your hotel, and quickly looking up information about attractions and places to visit.

By purchasing a SIMAWAY Turkey eSIM package in advance, you can prepare your mobile internet before departure and avoid searching for a physical SIM card after you arrive.

🇬🇷 Greece – Islands and the Mediterranean Sea

Greece is one of the standout summer destinations in 2026. Athens and the Greek islands are especially popular with travelers.

Whether you are visiting Crete, Santorini, Rhodes, Corfu, or another Greek island, internet access can help you with navigation, transportation, ferry schedules, and finding activities during your stay.

You can choose a Greece travel internet package in advance and add the eSIM to a compatible phone using a QR code.

🇮🇹 Italy – Cities, Beaches, and Culture

Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence, Sicily, and the Amalfi Coast make Italy one of the most diverse summer destinations.

When traveling in Italy, mobile internet is especially convenient for checking train tickets and schedules, planning routes, using maps, and accessing local services.

With SIMAWAY, you can choose an Italy eSIM internet package in advance based on the length of your trip and the amount of data you need.

🇪🇸 Spain – Beaches and City Breaks

Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, and the Spanish islands remain highly popular during the summer season.

Internet access in Spain can be useful for public transportation, maps, restaurant searches, tickets, bookings, and various tourist services.

If you are planning a trip to Spain, you can prepare your eSIM travel internet before departure and use mobile internet after arrival according to your selected package.

🇨🇾 Cyprus – A Summer by the Sea

Cyprus is an attractive destination for travelers looking for hot weather and a seaside holiday. July and August are among the hottest months on this Mediterranean island.

While traveling around Cyprus, internet access can help you navigate, find beaches and attractions, use transportation services, and access other useful local information.

🇭🇷 Croatia – The Adriatic Coast

Croatia is a great choice for travelers who enjoy seaside towns, islands, and European architecture. Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian Coast are among its well-known summer destinations.

Before traveling, it is also a good idea to check current local conditions, especially during periods of extreme heat or increased wildfire risk.

Why Is an eSIM Convenient When Traveling Abroad?

After arriving in another country, searching for Wi-Fi or buying a local physical SIM card is not always convenient.

With an eSIM, the process is much simpler: you add a digital SIM to a compatible phone using a QR code and use mobile internet according to the conditions of your selected package.

Travel internet is particularly useful for:

• Google Maps and navigation;

• taxi and transportation apps;

• contacting your hotel or host;

• accessing online tickets and reservations;

• sharing photos and videos on social media;

• working remotely or checking email.

Traveling to Several Countries?

If you are visiting several European countries during the same trip, you can consider a regional Europe eSIM package instead of purchasing a separate package for each destination.

For example, if your route is Italy → France → Spain, a suitable regional package may be more convenient because you can use one eSIM across multiple supported countries.
