Big question is what is “too hot”? Croatia or Turkey in June would be toasty. You can also look at the Aegean side of Greece. Beyond being hot, June and August both are when these places empty out or get absolutely filled up for the summer. Personally, I would suggest looking more around the Balkans and seeing if there’s something you like and renting a car to drive between places. Beaches in NE Greece, hot springs in Bulgaria? Beaches in Montenegro, shopping in Belgrade? You get that Ottoman history anywhere you go. Maybe look at flying into one city and flying out of another.
Turkey is solid, but beaches might be some internal flights or long drives from IST. Just beware of scams and hustles from every direction.
Scotland in June is beautiful, the question would be if you can actually find a place to stay. It’s a short summer so things book up quickly and expensively. Water is always freezing.
Dominican Republic on the Semana peninsula? Panama?

Too hot for me is Taiwan in the summer–I would have to rest after walking up a flight of stairs and found it very difficult to do anything outside of air-conditioned malls or going up into the mountains (which are unmissable to me for any traveler.) I like the heat in Hawai’i in Jan-March. I just haven’t been everywhere so I don’t know how to compare. Basically anywhere you can throw yourself in the water whenever you overheat. I really like the Balkans suggestion
