MALAGA, Spain, June 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

The latest availability status update among their inventory of 50.000 properties across Europe, shows that some of the most popular summer destinations are about to get sold out.

"We can't see any signs of economic crisis in our trade", says managing director, Claus Pedersen, from Campaya. "With an occupancy of 60-80% in some of the most popular destinations, we will unfortunately have to disappoint a lot of people in the coming weeks", he says.

All hope is not lost if you are willing to be flexible. Portugal and Canary Islands still have available holiday villas and apartments in August.

Chances are also a bit better if you plan your holiday in July or beginning of September, unless you plan to go to Scandinavian countries.

Claus Pedersen says, "Only 3300 of our 14,800 properties in Denmark are available in the weeks from the 21st of July. Which makes it nearly impossible to get the dream house"

Below shows the percentage of holiday homes that are still available throughout Summer waiting to be scooped up from 10 hot destinations.
