Rest abroad at all times was considered the most expensive pleasure. But recently, tourists can go on vacation abroad freely and the cost of such a vacation will be quite acceptable. Let's take a look at the most cheap vacation abroad in 2018.
In this article we will try to provide you with a description of the most popular destinations among Russian tourists. Also, many may be interested in reading the information from the article: where to relax without a visa abroad in 2018.
Most popular countries
In Turkey any Russian feels at home and therefore many residents of our country prefer to rest in this country. Turkey is mainly a beach holiday with children on the Black Sea or the Mediterranean. You can also do inexpensive shopping here and naturally visit various attractions. Also, one should not forget about entertainment, which in Turkey is simply great amount and therefore every day tourists are waiting for a lot of nightclubs, discos, restaurants and bars.
Holiday prices here fluctuate depending on the time of year, season and part of the country. So, for example, a tour to Antalya will cost about $ 200, to Istanbul - about $ 350, and to Kemer - $ 250. On average, a two-week tour for two can be bought for 1000-1500 dollars, and if you are lucky enough to buy a last-minute tour or go to Turkey in the fall, you can save up to 50% of their cost. Russian tourists prefer Turkey for a good all-inclusive holiday, excellent climate, clear sea and numerous excursions.
Unfortunately, today Turkey closed for travel companies and many are tormented by the question of when Turkey will be opened. But you can go on holiday on your own.
Holidays in Egypt on the sea is the most traditional among the inhabitants of Russia, since this direction has long been "ridden" by Russian tourists. Here you can enjoy excellent service in hotels, a warm climate, a huge amount of entertainment for only $ 250 for 7-8 days of excellent rest.
Warm Red Sea, gentle sun, All inclusive and, of course, the ancient pyramids- this is what many tourists every year come to this beautiful country with its ancient history and unique monuments of culture and architecture: the Pyramids, the eternal Sphinx and Luxor, which are visited by tourists, all this is worth it to go to this country on vacation. But this route is closed, although there is information that flights will resume soon.
And, of course, the question will be logical: which is better, Turkey or Egypt in terms of service, comfort, food?
Thailand no less popular than Turkey or Egypt, but in this country the high season begins in mid-autumn and ends in early winter. Therefore, if you want to purchase the most cheap tour, then it is best to count on the month of April or May.
A ticket for a ten-day vacation will cost about 700-800 dollars. The cheapest seaside vacation in 2018 will indeed be in Thailand, since in almost any region of the country you can have a great vacation for $15–25 per day. If you decide to go on your own, then on average you will need about $ 400 per month for accommodation with the condition of staying in a hotel in the center of Pattaya. But you can find a vacation and cheaper. On the island of Phuket, Chang, Koh Samui, Phi Phi, you can find a hotel room for $150-200 per month. And if one room is enough for you, then you can rent it for 80-90 dollars.
Thailand has very cheap food, so you only need $100 a month for food. For $ 2 you can have a great lunch at any cafe, and $ 6 is enough for dinner at good restaurant. And if you want to fill your suitcase with inexpensive things, then $ 100 will also be enough for you, without even haggling.
The cheapest seaside vacation
Vietnam- this is an incredibly beautiful place where you can find many corners of nature untouched by man. And even despite the ever-increasing popularity of this country, rest in it remains quite acceptable. So, for example, 10 dollars a day is enough for one person to stay at a hotel, food, excursion programs and massage. And if you're willing to spend $20 a day, you'll be able to indulge in nothing. Therefore, 400-500 dollars for an excellent 30-day vacation will be quite enough. But this is not counting the flight, since plane tickets are not included in this price (a direct flight will cost a little more than with transfers).

Goa (India) is another popular tourist destination, since with 100 dollars in your pocket (6000 rupees) you can have a great rest and not deny yourself anything, especially when it comes to northern Goa.
The cost of a holiday in Goa for a European person is quite low, especially far from big cities and megacities. The most expensive holiday in Goa is in the winter, since the high season begins at this time, but if you buy a ticket in the off-season, then a tour with air travel at the time of price reduction starts at $ 400. But if you decide to go on your own and live in an inexpensive guesthouse, as many young people do, you can save about 20-30% of your money. Goa is very popular among Russians due to its favorable tropical climate and recreation at almost any time of the year.
Abkhazia is located next to Russia and therefore many prefer to go to this country on vacation, as for many it will be the most a budget option have a great time on the Black Sea. I would also like to note that the Russians do not need visas and passports to go on vacation to Abkhazia and the road will take a little time.
If you do not have a large amount of money, then you can choose a vacation in the private sector, where prices for budget housing do not exceed 300–350 rubles per person per day. If you want more comfortable apartments in the private sector, you will have to pay a larger amount - about 500 rubles. Meals per day in Abkhazia will also cost you from 500 rubles per day. Thus, it can be calculated that a seven-day vacation in this country without travel will cost about 5,600 to 10,000 rubles per person.
Holidays in boarding houses and hotels in 2018 will cost much more. So, for example, a double room in a boarding house or sanatorium will cost from 1600 to 8000 rubles per day. Thus, if you are counting on inexpensive vacation in Abkhazia, then you will need an amount of 22,000 rubles for two. For 30,000 rubles for two, you can also see all the sights of this beautiful country.
Many Russians, we are sure, will be curious about the answer to the following question: Where is it better to relax - in Sochi, Crimea or Abkhazia?
But the cheapest vacation abroad at sea awaits you in Bali and Cambodia. These countries offer the cheapest accommodation and food for tourists. In Bali, you can find excellent housing for $100 a month and the same amount of food for 30 days. The only negative is a very expensive flight - about 1000 dollars!
Cambodia and Bali are not very famous countries for tourist holiday, and therefore the question will be logical: Where is Bali and Cambodia?
And in Cambodia, you can find a room for $1.5 a night, and buying delicious and cheap food, you will feel guilty that you are paying people so little. A visit to one of the world's most famous monuments of the Kingdom of Cambodia - Angkor Wat will cost you only $ 5.
Exquisite relaxation
Sri Lanka or Ceylon recently began to enjoy great popularity among Russian tourists, as many want to relax in exotic places where beautiful nature reigns and there are many secluded beautiful places and unique cultural and historical attractions.
And it is in Sri Lanka that you can have a great rest in an inexpensive beach hotel for 10-15 dollars a day. And here you can practice a wide variety of sports: diving, surfing, fishing, kitering, rafting, etc. But plane tickets here are not cheap, so it's best to buy tickets for charter flights or connecting flights. Thus, for a monthly vacation, you will need about 400-500 dollars.
Greece is the country of the ancient gods, the Aegean and mediterranean sea, as well as wonderful scenic spots where you can relax with children at the most reasonable prices. Halkidiki is the pearl of the Aegean Sea, Crete is the island of the legendary Minotaur, Athens is the capital of the country, Rhodes, Peloponnese, Attica, Paros, Corfu and many other islands and resorts in Greece attract many tourists from Russia. And they are all great for family vacation. On average, a vacation in Greece will cost you $250-350 for 7 days. This country is currently one of the most low-cost countries, where a Schengen visa is required, who want to fully enjoy the beach and sightseeing vacation on the sea.
Cyprus can not be called very cheap for recreation, but it is very popular among Russians. A ticket to Cyprus from Moscow will cost about $ 200 per person, but if you get on the action of some airline, you can save from 30 to 50%. But living on the island is quite expensive. The cheapest room in Paphos will cost $30-35, but you can rent a room for $25-28 per night. Food in cafes and restaurants is also not cheap, so it is best to buy food in supermarkets, where there are various promotions and discounts.
If you choose where to relax, between the last two countries, then we recommend reading the differences between them: Which is better to choose - Greece or Cyprus, for example, for beach holiday?
Europe - vacation spot
Portugal is a member of the Eurozone and therefore cannot boast of the same low prices like Asian countries. But rest here is completely different. It is necessary to go to this beautiful country, which is located in the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula, only to enjoy the taste of excellent seafood, Portuguese cherry liquor - jinjin, port wine, and also visit all architectural monuments Iberian culture of the country, one of which is the famous tower of Belen - a fort on the Tijou River in the region of the same name in Lisbon.
Accommodation in Portugal in an inexpensive provincial hostel will cost from 18 to 33 dollars per day. A room in a three-star hotel will cost from 30 to 80 dollars a day. And accommodation in a boarding house in Lisbon is from 13 to 28 dollars. Lunch in an inexpensive cafe will cost from 6.5 to 13.5 dollars, and one dish in an expensive restaurant will cost from 6 to 24 dollars. Approximately per day for one person you will need about $50, so the total cost of the trip will vary from $600 to $1000.
Since the beginning of spring, many have been worried about the question: “Where to go in the summer?” There are many options for summer holidays, but finding the optimal ratio of the cost of food, accommodation and entertainment (with decent service) and the cost of the flight is not an easy task. Moreover, you need to take into account the cost of a visa, it can amount to such a “tidy” sum that it is beyond the power of an ordinary Russian family to overpower it. But it is not all that bad. Good opportunities exist, especially in visa-free countries. Do not neglect the southern regions of Russia with beautiful nature and well-established infrastructure.

The choice of countries where you can go on vacation in January is quite large, but mostly these are Asian destinations or exotic countries.
There is much more choice among countries where the air temperature fluctuates around 29-31 degrees.
Where is it warm and you can swim in January?
Thailand - the main choice of the tourist
After the New Year, Thailand gradually begins to reach the peak of its weather conditions . In addition to the ideal air temperature, there is also the warmest sea, which warms up to 29-30 degrees by the beginning of January. On the new year holidays in the Kingdom it is the peak season and the beaches are full of tourists, so it is better to plan trips after the 5th-7th, when a batch of tourists with thick wallets who can afford a trip in high season will leave the resorts.
Dominican Republic - a beach paradise on the other side of the ocean
In January, the peak of the tourist season begins in the Dominican resorts, which will last until March. White beaches, recognized by UNESCO as one of the most beautiful in the world. Palm trees, mangrove forests and the sea with a stunningly beautiful underwater world are a great opportunity to discover diving. There are 3 in Punta Cana national parks where you will see a lot of exotic animals and reptiles, shows with the participation of talking parrots and swim with dolphins. Be sure to visit individual excursions, visit one of neighboring islands and drive jeeps on safari. In the evening, incendiary parties in clubs, dancing on the beach until the morning and night sailing on a yacht are waiting for you.
Sunny and rich on a Tenerife tour
The Canary Islands experience a turning point during the winter months. The ocean cools to an uncomfortable temperature, due to which, immediately after the New Year, the number of tourists on the streets noticeably decreases. But the sun in the south of the island continues to heat the air to pleasant values from +22 to +27. In such weather, it is quite possible to swim in hotel pools, sunbathe in sun loungers, and on days when the sun is not so active, go on excursions around the island, of which there are a lot. One visit to the Teide volcano, killer whale shows in Loroparca are worth it!
Unusual resorts in Vietnam
Vietnam replaces Egypt this year, taking third place in the ranking of popular destinations in the first half of the year. For a beach holiday in January, you should go to the south of the country (Vung Tau, Ke Ga, Mui Ne, Phan Thiet, Phu Quoc), where it is sunny and dry at this time. It can be cloudy and occasionally rainy, but with central or northern Vietnam won't compare. Precipitation in the south falls no more than 3-4 days, in other regions their amount reaches 10-12 days.
Rediscovered Egypt...
Egypt can no longer offer a real warm sea, but hiding on the territory of the hotel in a sunbed by the pool in the rays of the warm sun is quite real! And it will cost quite inexpensively, since the peak season has already passed. In addition to the cooling sea, winds will become a disadvantage, so mountain-protected resorts (Sharm El Sheikh, Taba) are in higher demand. On the other hand, the absence of heat is a great opportunity to explore the country of the pyramids for the most daring, since no one has yet removed the recommendations for “not leaving” the hotel zone.
In 2019, it is planned to fully resume the charter program, so prices should fall!
Arabic Diamond - UAE
The weather conditions in the UAE are very similar to those in Egypt, but there is plenty to do besides swimming in the sea and hanging out in a bar. We recommend going here to those who like to go on excursions and organize their own leisure time. In today's conditions, this is quite an adequate alternative to Egypt, but a little more expensive. You shouldn't count on a beach holiday. Cool, wind and waves await you - in general, the dream of surfers, who, by the way, begin the high season. The rest can only walk along the coast, enjoying the promenade, or make excursions, visit camel races or Moroccan baths, getting acquainted with the traditions of the country. Another category of January tourists are shopaholics, who were lured by the crazy discounts of the Dubai Shopping Festival.
Slightly wild and therefore unforgettable Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, you can relax at any time of the year, if you choose the right coast. In January it southwest coast, the main difference of which from the northeast is in the amount of precipitation. They are here for no more than 3-5 days, while in the north it is hard to imagine a vacation without an umbrella and a raincoat. The central regions are also subject to precipitation due to the fact that the mountain ranges located here block the path of the monsoons. Otherwise, the temperature of the island during the day and at night in different regions varies slightly.
Amazing Indian state of Goa
Fans of the hot tropics during the day are waiting for the scorching sun, which is more than two hours fraught with burns. The very warm and calm sea creates all the opportunities for a carefree pastime on the beach. Goa is definitely not the place to go with children, but those who want to break away from civilization and come off to the fullest should like it here ...
Paradise and serene Maldives atolls
Islands rarely leave the Top 10 of our rankings due to the "eternal summer" weather. January is associated with the beginning of the dry season. Forecasters cannot guarantee the absence of precipitation, on average in a month from 1 to 5 rainy days(depending on the atoll). The direction of the winds also changed, due to which the humidity decreased to 75-80%. For those who prefer a calm ocean, we recommend the second half of the month.
Mexico - an unforgettable trip
The season in Mexico begins to rise sharply by December 20, when Americans who miss the sun come en masse to the resorts of the country. On the New Year there is nowhere for an apple to fall. By mid-January, resort life enters a normal rhythm and this best time for travel to Mexican resorts. For a beach holiday, it is better to choose resorts in the Gulf of Mexico (Veracruz, Mirido) or on the Caribbean Sea (Cancun). Here at this time the weather is more comfortable and the water is warmer than on the coast. Pacific Ocean. Fans of a hot climate should settle in Acapulco, where the warmest sea in the country.
Where to relax with children during the winter holidays?
Most family tourists prefer to spend their holidays in a more budget Egypt. In January it is still warm enough to sunbathe, but you will have to swim in the pool. For children, this is just a plus. In winter, it is better to relax in Sharm El Sheikh, as it is less windy here due to the surrounding mountain ranges. Unfortunately, so far everything is going to the fact that by January, tours to Egypt with charters will not be sold yet.
Most often, our tourists fly to rest with a child in January in Thai. It is quite possible to find a family hotel here, and the children's entertainment industry will not let you get bored. If you plan a flight after January 4-5 and skip the first week of study, then it is quite possible to meet up to 150,000 rubles for everyone.
Southern resorts for families with children are also suitable. Many even consider them more suitable for family tourism. There, according to tourists, there is less debauchery, which, willy-nilly, can be found in Thai resorts.
For those who prefer European service and leisure, we recommend considering . Here, the children are waiting for a killer whale show, a stunning water park, a hike to the volcano crater and unforgettable landscapes. Pools in hotels and water parks are heated to +24º, and the ocean is still quite warm (+21º).
Of the exotic destinations, it is best suited. Here children are waiting for 5 * hotels with high quality service, white sandy beaches, palm trees and sun sea. Cuba and Mexico in terms of service are noticeably inferior in terms of quality.
Weekend tours to amusement parks
An original and fairly budget solution is a trip to Paris or Barcelona. Near each of the cities are some of the largest amusement parks in the world: Disneyland and PortAventura.
It is best to go on weekdays when there is not such a high demand for hotels and flights. Housing is better to choose between parks and the metropolis, so as not to overpay for the location. For the sake of visiting the park, any child will be ready to go through the museum halls of the Louvre 🙂
In Europe and other amusement parks that work on New Year's holidays:
Looking for Santa Claus
Another popular type of family tourism is independent trips in Finland. This is where families go looking for Santa Claus. In the city of Rovaniemi is the residence of the Finnish Santa - Joulupukki, with elves, deer, gifts and gingerbread cookies.
And you can save money and visit.
Holidays in ski resorts
Many refuse to ski holidays because of their own inability or unwillingness to ski. Excellent! Don't ride. But do not deprive the child of pleasure, but yourself of walks in the fresh air and stunning views. Beautiful landscapes, clean mountain air, snow, family evenings by the fireplace - all this is quite real and at a price much cheaper than relaxing by the sea.
There are 3 ski resorts on the territory of the Krasnaya Polyana resort - Rosa Khutor, Gazprom Laura and Gornaya Karusel. The skiing season starts in December and ends in mid-spring. All ski resorts are located in the villages of Esto-Sadok and Krasnaya Polyana. distance from one ski complex to the other is from 1 to 5 kilometers.
