How about a trip to Georgia / Azerbaijan
A Brief Summary
Technically not a region of the world involved in major conflict right now, there is enough political uncertainty and instability for this area to be in the vacationing category of “give it a while to calm down!” The Caucasus’ are a chain of mountains stretching from the Caspian Sea (the worlds largest inland body of water) in the east, to the Black Sea in the west. They divide southern Russia with Georgia and Azerbaijan and have, for several years now, been a physical barrier to more significant unrest than is currently being played out. They also represent a wonderful, untapped opportunity, for the hikers, bikers and trekkers of this world, to traverse the ridges, valleys and hills and experience these diverse nations. So, if real stability returns to the region, take a mid-summer trip to the Caucasus Mountains and countries of Georgia and Azerbaijan.

About the Weather
Georgia has a climate with marked constrast from winter to summer. Winters are cool, ocassionally very cold, with only a few light rain or snow showers and fairly overcast skies. Temperatures average 7°c by day from Dec to Feb although they are a little warmer on the Black Sea coast. Mar is barely warmer or sunnier than Feb, but by late Apr and May temperatures have increased to above 20°c with skies much bluer. However, the increased warmth and sunshine trigger increasingly frequent and heavy showers which peak in May and Jun. Sunshine during the summer averages 8-9 hours a day and rains decrease from Jun through to Aug and Sep, while temperatures rise until Jul and Aug, averaging 31°c by day.
