From the Bay of Lübeck to Usedom, idyllic Baltic Sea resorts and modern Hanseatic cities invite you to a varied holiday. Beautiful villages located directly on the coast have always been integrated here and fit naturally into this magnificent landscape. The small islands in the Baltic Sea exude their own atmosphere of relaxation.
Healthy climate on the Baltic Sea
On the Baltic Sea coast, temperatures may differ slightly from southwest to northeast. They rise to 23° C in the summer months. From May to August, over 7 hours of sunshine make for a wonderful beach holiday. The sunniest areas are the islands. Rügen and Fehmarn stand out in particular.
If the weather does not invite you to swim, there are numerous opportunities on the Baltic Sea coast and on the islands to spend these days with varied excursion destinations. Here there are impressive sights for families, singles, young and old and, of course, many beautiful places in nature.
Clothing makes the man – and protects in all weathers
On the Baltic Sea, you don’t necessarily have to choose between sightseeing or a beach holiday. Both can be wonderfully combined. Especially on excursions, it is advisable to also have swimwear and a towel in your luggage. In many places, there is the opportunity to simply go into the water to cool off.
When it comes to holidays on the Baltic Sea, the first thing that comes to mind is swimwear. In summer, the beaches beckon, and in winter, wonderful wellness baths are available. And yet, even in the summer months, it should be remembered that the evenings will be cool. During the day, the wind can be unpleasant. In this case, it is advisable to put on something that protects the cold as well.
On the terrace of your own holiday apartment, comfortable clothing ensures cosiness. However, if you are planning cultural events such as visits to the theatre, you should have warm jackets in your luggage in addition to the somewhat more elegant clothing.
Holiday apartments – not only suitable for families
When planning a holiday on the Baltic Sea, there are various requirements. However, there is one thing that connects the holiday apartments: they offer guests comfort and cosiness. Modern kitchens, clean rooms and, if necessary, accommodation for the beloved pet.
On many Internet sites, holiday homes are offered to suit every taste. BestFewo offers accommodation on the Baltic Sea and finds the perfect holiday home for interested visitors.

With the possession of the spa card, holidaymakers can also enjoy discounts or free admission. At BestFewo you will find modernly furnished holiday homes and apartments.
