6. Slovenia
If you find August heat and crowd unbearable, then Slovenia may be your destination to escape. The famous Soča River and its even more famous white river rafting is the ideal way to chill out without rubbing shoulders with millions of other tourists flocking to popular European destinations in August.
The river travels 140km through western Slovenia along the Italian border and is perfect for river rafting for all kinds of rafters, from novices to pros. If adventure is not your cup of tea then there are stunning snow-capped pinnacles, rivers with crystalline water, charming culture, gastronomic delights, and Venetian styled coastal towns. Slovenia’s jaw-dropping beauty often turns out to be a great surprise for visitors. Don’t miss it, visit Slovenia this August.
