i would recommend Finland (i know i generally bang on about it in almost every post i do) - but you can get relatively cheap flights there.
The summer is HOT. Much hotter than ours....and although not masses of coast, Finland has more lakes than anywhere else in the world. You can swim out for hundreds of metres and still stand up, look at your feet and see frikkin huge crayfish - grab one, cook the shit out of it!!!

The roads are amazing too, they cut through breath-taking countryside as you'd imagine, just watch out for elk!
