Where to go in the summer on the Black Sea. Holidays with children at sea

Budget holidays at sea - the most relevant topic in the summer. You can organize a vacation for yourself not only in Russia, but also abroad.

About tickets...

Self-guided trips to resorts are usually much cheaper than package tours. But this rule does not always work. For a number of foreign destinations, it is sometimes cheaper to purchase a last-minute tour, the cost of which may even be lower than the flight. You can choose such trips on the relevant resources.

Rules for finding a budget holiday

If you plan to independently organize a budget vacation at sea for yourself, then you should be guided by the following rules:

1. The first thing that will help save money is the refusal to rest during the high season. When planning a vacation, you should focus on the beginning or end of the season. For domestic resorts, this is May, early June and September. Firstly, at this time there is no such tangible heat, and secondly, the sea is warm. And yes, prices vary greatly. If swimming in the sea is not a matter of principle for you, and you are ready to relax by the pool and go on excursions, then in countries such as Bulgaria and Turkey, you can economically relax from October to April. During this period, even the most luxurious hotels give significant discounts, so the rest becomes much more affordable. Many foreign resort complexes have heated pools that save the day when the sea is cold.
2. If you want to spend your holidays in Bulgaria and Turkey, then you should opt not for half board, but for everyone's favorite concept. Initially, it may seem to you that you are overpaying extra money, but in fact, buying drinks and food will cost you much more.
3. In order to organize the most budgetary vacation at sea abroad, you need to purchase last-minute tours or use the early booking service.
4. Do not forget that the rest alone is much more expensive than in the company.

Sochi and Adler

Sochi and Adler are the obvious solution for a budget seaside vacation in Russia. Tickets for the Moscow-Adler plane are relatively inexpensive - from about 5800 rubles. The Pobeda low-cost airline still flies in this direction. In this company, you can buy cheaper tickets - from a thousand rubles, but it should be borne in mind that they are quickly taken apart.

You can rent a house in Sochi from 20 dollars (1200 rubles), in Adler it is much cheaper - from 10 dollars (600 rubles). You can eat at the resorts in budget canteens.

In Sochi, inexpensive rooms are offered by three-star hotels Roza Vetrov and Valentin, the cost of a double room in them will cost 3000 and 3200 rubles per day. For a resort, such prices can be considered quite democratic. Both establishments have a good location - in the heart of the city.

The two-star complex "Nairi" offers double rooms with a balcony for 2700 rubles. The hotel has a sauna, bar, massage, swimming pool and much more.

Fans of comfortable rooms and good service can recommend the four-star establishments Park Inn by Radisson and Zhemchuzhina, a stay in them per day will cost 4,600 and 5,200 rubles, respectively.

Accommodation in Adler

For those who are planning a budget seaside vacation in Russia, Adler can be an ideal option. The resort has not only expensive hotels, but also quite budgetary establishments and even guesthouses. The choice of housing is quite large. Among the tested hotels, we can recommend the three-star Almira (3,000 rubles) with excellent rooms and good service, the more expensive Vesna complex (5,000 rubles), which has the most positive reviews and excellent infrastructure (swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts, massage).

Accommodation in four-star hotels in Adler will cost a little more. "AS-Hotel" offers double apartments from three thousand rubles. This is a fairly budget option, since in more eminent establishments rooms cost from seven thousand rubles.

Crimea

Speaking about a budget vacation at sea with children, you should pay attention to the Crimea. In 2017, the cost of a Moscow-Simferopol ticket by plane will cost about 7,000 rubles, and in autumn and spring it will be even cheaper. From Simferopol you can get to any resort on the peninsula.

Budget food in Sudak, for example, will cost 200-300 rubles in the dining room (dinner, lunch, breakfast). If you want to order food in restaurants, then the amount of food expenses will increase to 500 rubles.

The most budgetary seaside vacation in Russia can only be provided if you live in the private sector. In Crimea, for example, you can choose small villages for recreation - Olenevka, Nikolaevka, Shtormovoe. In such places in guest houses you can find rooms even for three hundred rubles a day. In larger and more famous resorts, prices are higher. The minimum cost of living increases to 600 rubles per room. The average cost of living in 2017 in the private sector starts from a thousand rubles for a double apartment. In general, the villages can be safely considered as a budget holiday on the Black Sea with children.

As for food, various eateries and canteens, national cafes, canteens at guest houses with home cooking, and fast food establishments can be considered as a budget option. Remember that the more you move away from the coast, the lower the price of food. In canteens and inexpensive cafes you can eat for two hundred rubles, and in an inexpensive restaurant for at least 400 rubles. Food prices are more democratic in small resort villages. Accommodation and food in Yalta will cost much more than in other places, although budget places can be found here.

Sea of ​​Azov resorts

Budget holidays on the Sea of ​​​​Azov can be offered in the villages of Peresyp, Kuchugury and Ilyich. These small villages have good sandy beaches and little developed infrastructure. Here you can find accommodation mainly in guest houses and the private sector.

It will cost a little more to stay in the village of Golubitskaya and Yeisk, which has pretty decent hotels, an embankment, a cafe and a park. Stanitsa Golubitskaya also has a well-developed infrastructure. There is a nightclub, water attractions, mini-hotels and Renting a house in the village of Ilyich in 2017 will cost 1.5-3 thousand rubles, in Taman and Peresyp - up to 2.5 thousand rubles, and in the village of Golubitskaya - up to 6 thousand rubles. Accommodation in the private sector costs an average of 250-600 rubles per person per day.

The resort villages of the Sea of ​​Azov are not so developed, but they are incredibly convenient for families with children. The warm shallow sea is the best place for kids.

Italy

If you are looking for options for a budget vacation at sea in European countries, then you should pay attention to Italy. From Moscow you can take inexpensive tickets to the main cities of the country - Milan, Rome, Venice. The cost of a flight to these destinations is always cheaper (from 9,000 rubles) than to small cities. And directly to the resorts can be reached by local buses.

A budget seaside vacation in Italy can be organized at one of the most famous resorts - Rimini. Of course, accommodation in local hotels cannot be called cheap - from $35 per room per night, but such offers are quite rare. On average, it is worth focusing on 50-100 dollars a day. In terms of meals, the minimum cost for breakfast is $4, lunch is $7, and dinner is over $10.

It is worth noting that Rimini is known for its beaches and warm water with shallow entry, so the resort is perfect for a budget seaside vacation with children. The resort has a well-developed infrastructure and a good selection of hotels for every taste and budget. Rimini is also in demand among young people.

Bulgaria

In Bulgaria, you can organize the most budgetary holidays on the Black Sea abroad, which is why all local resorts are incredibly popular among tourists. Sunny Beach is considered the most democratic place to stay. Fine sand on the beaches and a gentle entrance to the sea have long been loved by supporters of beach and sea holidays. The coast has a width of about forty meters, and in length it stretches for eight kilometers. In modest hotels, you can rent a small room for $19 per night.

An even more budgetary vacation on the Black Sea can only be in small Bulgarian seaside villages and towns. In such areas there are many two- and three-star hotels, as well as guest houses in the private sector. Locals often rent out the upper floors of their houses to tourists. Holidays in Kranevo, Balchik, Nessebar, St. Vlas, Pomorie, Ravda and Tsarevo can be economical.

Sometimes tours to Bulgarian resorts can be purchased at very affordable prices (from 20 thousand rubles). And promotional offers can be even more attractive. And this despite the fact that the cost of the tour includes accommodation, flights, insurance and transfers.

Bulgaria is interesting for many travelers because it offers a budget seaside vacation in September. At this time, the air temperature drops to +25 degrees, there is no summer heat and heat, and the sea water remains warm. In September it is good to have a rest in Nessebar, Sofia, Sozopol, Balchik, Plovdiv and Varna. The cost of living in the resorts is reduced, because there is no large influx of tourists.

Croatia

Budget holidays at sea abroad can offer Croatia. The cost of a ticket from Moscow to Dubrovnik, Pula or Split in both directions is 13 thousand rubles. In such well-known hotel prices are quite high. You can rent an economy room for $30. And, for example, in Dubrovnik, you will have to pay at least $ 40 for a night in a guesthouse, while the institution will be located far from the historical center. The cost of rooms in four-star hotels starts at $130.

If you consider small towns, such as Plat and Cavtat, as a vacation spot, you can save a lot. Resort villages offer clear sea, clean air and beautiful beaches on the Adriatic coast. What else do you need for a holiday with children?

Cyprus

Cyprus can also be considered as a place for a budget vacation at sea in the summer. The cost of a flight from Moscow to Larnaca in the summer is about 10,600 rubles. Aircraft of the Pobeda airline now fly to Cyprus. Sometimes flying into a country can be incredibly budget-friendly, especially if you're lucky enough to take advantage of a promotion from one of the airlines. But it is not so easy to save money on living in Cyprus. The most budget rooms in Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos cost at least $33 per night. On average, the cost of rooms in hotels ranges from 40-60 dollars.

Meals in an inexpensive institution will cost up to $ 50 per day per person. For those who want to save money, we can recommend buying food in supermarkets. As a budget option, you can rent a studio with a kitchen, then you will have the opportunity to greatly reduce food costs.

Greece

A more budget option for a seaside holiday, unlike Cyprus, can be arranged in Greece. A flight from Moscow to Athens or Thessaloniki will cost about 8,800 rubles. But tickets to Corfu, Crete and Rhodes are much more expensive (12,000 rubles).

Accommodation in the most inexpensive hotel in Thessaloniki will cost about $ 25 per day for a double apartment, in Crete - $ 29. But in Rhodes you can find cheaper establishments, for $ 17 you will be offered a completely acceptable room.

Budget food in an inexpensive cafe will cost an average of about $15 per day (dinner - 6, lunch - 5, and breakfast - 4 dollars). On average, a vacation in Greece will cost a tourist at least $250-350 per week.

Turkey

Like it or not, but Turkey again leads the list of countries with seaside resorts. It is in it that the most budgetary vacation at sea abroad. Many Russians have chosen Turkish resorts and have long felt at home there. Here you can not only relax comfortably on the Black or Mediterranean Sea, but also go shopping, as well as see local beauties and sights. The main advantage of Turkish hotels is excellent animation, good infrastructure and, of course, All Inclusive.

The cost of holidays in Turkey depends on the season, resort and season. So, for example, a vacation in Antalya costs about $200, in Kemer - $250, but in Istanbul - $350. A two-week tour for two can be purchased at prices ranging from $1,000 to $1,500. And if you're lucky and manage to find a last-minute vacation, then the most budget vacation at sea in the fall can cost half as much as in the season. Russians give preference to Turkish resorts for the opportunity to have a good rest and food, for numerous sights and the cleanest sea.

Egypt

Egypt, along with Turkey, leads the list of budget countries for seaside holidays. This direction has long been studied by the Russians. Egypt offers tourists good service, warm climate, good infrastructure and plenty of entertainment. All this can be obtained for $ 250 for a week's vacation.

The gentle sun, the Red Sea and "all inclusive" - ​​this is what tourists seek to get to Egypt for. Do not forget that local attractions are of great interest - the most ancient architectural monuments: the Sphinx, the pyramids, Luxor. These places are a must visit place for every traveler.

Thailand

Another budget option for a seaside holiday is Thailand. This country is no less popular as a beach resort than Egypt and Turkey. The high season in Thailand starts around mid-autumn and ends at the beginning of winter. Therefore, the most budget tours are in May and April.

A ten-day vacation in Thailand will cost 700-800 dollars. Experienced tour operators believe that it is in this country that you can relax the cheapest in 2017. This is due to the fact that in any region of the country you can have a great rest for 15-25 dollars. per day. If you decide to visit the country on your own, then you should expect that you will need about $ 400 per month for housing if you rent an apartment in the center of Pattaya.

But on such islands as Chang, Phuket, Phi Phi, Koh Samui, you can rent a room for only 150-200 dollars per month. If you do not classify yourself as a spoiled person, then you will find a room for $90.

The advantage of a holiday in Thailand is that the products here are incredibly cheap. And because food costs mere pennies. A hundred dollars a month will be enough for food. In any cafe for two dollars you can have a delicious lunch, and lunch in a restaurant will cost six dollars.

Vietnam

Vietnam is an amazingly beautiful place. Here you can find many places, almost untouched by human hand. In recent years, the popularity of Vietnamese resorts has been growing more and more. And despite this, holidays in the country remain as affordable as ever. For ten dollars a day in Vietnam, you can live, eat, go on excursions and go for a massage. And if you have $ 20 a day in your budget, you can generally not deny yourself anything. For a wonderful vacation for a month, it is enough to have $400-500 in your pocket (not counting the cost of the flight).

Goa (India)

Goa is also one of the popular budget destinations. Here, with 100 dollars, you can have a great rest and not deny yourself anything, especially if you decide to visit North Goa.

Rest in the resort for Europeans is very cheap, especially away from cities. The cost of a holiday in Goa increases in winter, because at this time the high season begins.

For a budget holiday, you can recommend purchasing a ticket in the off-season, then the tour, together with the flight, can cost from $ 400. If you prefer to stay not in a hotel, but in a cheap guesthouse, you can save up to 30% of your budget. Goa is popular among our compatriots due to its good tropical climate and the opportunity to relax almost all year round.

Abkhazia

Do not forget that Abkhazia can also offer a budget holiday at sea. Since it is located next to Russia, there is no need to spend money on an expensive flight. Many tourists go to Abkhazia because of the opportunity to have an inexpensive vacation on the Black Sea, especially since Russians do not need any additional documents (passports and visas). And the road to the Abkhazian resorts does not take much time.

If your budget is not too large, then you can stay in the private sector, where the cost of budget housing ranges from 300-350 rubles per person per day. More comfortable apartments will cost about 500 rubles. In general, a week-long vacation without a trip will require from you approximately 5600 to 10 thousand rubles per tourist. In the private sector, accommodation is much cheaper than in boarding houses and sanatoriums. If we talk about a budget holiday in Abkhazia, then you will need about 22 thousand rubles for two. Having 30 thousand rubles, you can also afford to see the beautiful sights of this amazing region.

Budget holidays at sea in August

August is in the yard, and summer is coming to an end, so many people are eager to grab a piece of sun and warmth on the sunny coast, and therefore they are wondering where to go to the resort at this time.

The most budget vacation can be organized in Abkhazia. No less successful will be a vacation in Croatia. At this time, the weather here is ideal for sea swimming. Resort hotel complexes are not as luxurious as in other countries, but their cost is more acceptable, and therefore Croatia fits perfectly for a budget holiday. In August, the air temperature is +30 degrees, and water - +26 degrees.

At the end of summer, many resorts in southern Europe simply languish under the scorching sun, so not everyone wants to go here. But Portugal in August is comfortable for rest in every sense. The water temperature on the Atlantic coast is +20 degrees, and the air temperature is +25-27 degrees.

Incredibly comfortable holiday conditions on the island of Madeira. In Portugal, there are many well-preserved historical monuments that will be of interest to tourists.

Good for an August holiday and the Canary Islands. At this time, the daytime temperature reaches +29 degrees, and the ocean warms up to +23 degrees.

In August, most European resorts are not very comfortable for recreation due to the heat, but at the same time, the flow of tourists to them does not weaken. Turkey, Greece, Spain and Cyprus are still popular. Often vacationers prefer to go to more northern areas of resorts: Corfu, Paphos, Rimini, etc.

As for the budget resorts on the Black Sea, Abkhazia, Georgia, Bulgaria, Sochi, Adler and settlements on the Sea of ​​Azov are still relevant in August. At this time, prices in domestic resorts are not the most affordable, but you can find acceptable options.

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 cheapest holidays abroad in 2019.

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 2019.

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 just a huge 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 is closed to 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 "travelled" 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 come to this beautiful country every year 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 get the cheapest tour, 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 2019 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 in any cafe, and $6 is enough for dinner in a 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 a day is enough for one person to stay at a hotel, meals, 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, as 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 metropolitan areas. The most expensive vacation 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 from $ 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 near Russia and therefore many people prefer to go to this country on vacation, as for many it will be the most budget option to 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 2019 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 an 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 tourism, 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 has recently begun 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 is best to buy tickets for charter flights or for flights with transfers. Thus, for a monthly vacation, you will need about 400-500 dollars.

Greece is a country of ancient gods, the Aegean and the Mediterranean Sea, as well as beautiful picturesque places 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 all of them are great for families. On average, a vacation in Greece will cost you $250-350 for 7 days. Currently, this country is one of the most inexpensive countries that require a Schengen visa, who want to fully enjoy the beach and sightseeing holidays at 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, we recommend that you read the differences between them: Which is better to choose - Greece or Cyprus, for example, for a beach holiday?

Europe - vacation spot

Portugal is a member of the Eurozone and therefore cannot boast of the same low prices as Asian countries. But rest here is completely different. It is necessary to go to this beautiful country, which is located in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, only to enjoy the taste of excellent seafood, Portuguese cherry liqueur - jinjinha, port wine, and also visit all the architectural monuments of the country's Iberian culture, one of which is the famous Belen Tower - fort on the river Tijos 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.

Spring is just around the corner and the most beautiful month of this season is May with a long holiday weekend. And you can spend them somewhere on the wonderful coast. Many are already thinking about where the whole family will be comfortable, so that the beach is good, the sea is warm, and the child is interested, and there is no gap in the family budget. It's time to plan your vacation while there are still tours at attractive prices. We have prepared a review of the resorts and tell you where to relax on the sea in May, so that you can enjoy warm sand and even sea baths after a capricious winter.

Why not take a cruise? Prices are very affordable! , .

Turkey officially opens the beach season. There are no more empty seats on flights to popular resorts of the country, as well as in hotels that offer a high level of service at affordable prices. That is why we recommend booking a tour now. The prices for the “Early Booking” promotion are pleasantly pleasing and allow you to save a lot. As a rule, in Turkey, tourists choose "all inclusive" or "ultra all inclusive" packages. Who wants to think about where to have breakfast, lunch and dinner, when you can just enjoy the sea, gentle sun and cool Tequila Sunrise.

In the evening it is still cool in spring, but during the day the air temperature warms up to +25..+28°C and you can sunbathe.

May in the Holy Land is a truly summer month, the best time for sea holidays in terms of weather conditions. On the Mediterranean coast during the day it is already quite warm (in Tel Aviv, Ashdod, Netanya - + 24-27 ° C), the sun does not heat the sand, as in July. In the evening it becomes fresh (+17-20°C), the nights are cool. The air temperature in Haifa is one degree lower.

The water cannot be called very comfortable (+21°C), but many people are already swimming. It is hot in the resorts of the Red Sea, in Eilat + 35 ° C, in the water (+ 23-25 ​​° C) you can stay for a long time. In the Dead Sea, it is simply hot (+31°C). For all the climatic pleasures of May, you will have to pay more than in other months. But comfortable conditions for excursions to unique sights compensate for the financial costs. At the Dead Sea, you can not only indulge in a beach holiday, but take medical procedures.

There are strong waves in the Mediterranean on some days, and surfers take advantage of the moment. Enough here and other marine entertainment: riding on inflatable shells, "bananas", jet skis, yachts, parasailing. Helicopter rides are popular. The Red Sea, which is mostly calm, favors diving and snorkelling. The rich underwater world gives divers a real pleasure with a colorful variety. Trips to ancient shrines leave deep impressions.

Rest in Jordan will be very pleasant and interesting. Here at your service will be gorgeous beaches of the Red and Dead Seas. These places are best suited for family holidays, as there is a real expanse for children - a warm clear sea and an abundance of entertainment. In addition, Jordan is a real paradise for lovers of diving and eco-tourism. The coral reefs of the Red Sea amaze with their beauty and diversity of the underwater world, and the luxurious vegetation of the coast and a very mild climate will allow everyone to spend a few days in complete unity with nature.

Jordan is rich in sights. You can take a tour of biblical sites, visit the famous cave complex of Petra, as well as many other Bedouin and Muslim monuments. And, again, the best time for excursions here will be May, until the sizzling summer heat has come.

The season opens in some European resorts. This is a good time to travel to Greece, the beaches of many islands of this country are already open for swimming, the weather is warm, but not hot, besides, all entertainment and excursions are quite affordable, since prices for them have not yet reached their summer maximum. The beginning of the month is rich in holidays - in Greece, as well as in Russia, Workers' Day is celebrated on a grand scale. There are parades and celebrations all over the country.

At the same time, in many cities, the ancient pagan festival of flowers, dedicated to the goddess Demeter, is celebrated, and a little later, on May 21-23, Pyrovassia, or Anastenaria, is noisily celebrated in many parts of the country. The most important event of this ancient holiday is dancing on hot coals, which invariably gathers a huge number of spectators. Since Greece is a country of the richest culture, it is impossible to ignore the date of May 18, when the country celebrates the International Day of Museums and Monuments.

May in Thailand is a very peculiar month. It is already very hot during the day, by noon the thermometer is guaranteed to crawl over the mark of + 30 ° C, but it can rise up to + 40 ° C. Sea water is not refreshing - it is warmed up to + 28-29 ° С. Therefore, it is better to sunbathe on the beach in the morning and in the late afternoon, and during the day to be in rooms where air conditioners are installed - in shops, spas, restaurants. You also need to take into account that the sea often storms in May, and if you see red flags on the beach, you should not tempt fate. Be aware of undercurrents.

There are still a lot of people on the beaches, but only in the early morning hours and when the sun is already sinking to the horizon. The sand is snow-white, the water temperature is + 27-28 ° С - heavenly conditions. But you should be careful, you can easily get burned. Those who ride on a yacht need to be especially careful. The breeze creates a feeling of coolness, but solar activity does not reduce.

It is difficult even for the local population to endure the hot climate, so air conditioners work everywhere in the cities of the UAE. In hotels and spas, restaurants and shopping centers, public and private transport. The best option, if you have a driver's license, is to rent a car and see the sights, only briefly leaving the cool interior.

Don't forget to bring long sleeves. They will protect from solar radiation and from sudden changes in temperature when you enter from the street into a room where the air conditioner is working.

In this country, the height of the holiday season. Egypt is especially in demand during the holidays. Still not scorching as in summer, the sun, fresh greenery, lush flora bloom make the rest here very comfortable. Statistics eloquently testify that in May there is a large influx of tourists. Therefore, having planned a trip to the "cradle of mankind", you should book flights and a hotel early. There are practically no last-minute trips to Egypt.

To spend the upcoming vacation is not only interesting and bright, but also inexpensive - the desire of a tourist with any income level. And although in the conditions of the global and domestic crisis, prices for vouchers continue to grow, it is quite possible to give yourself and your loved ones a budget vacation at sea.

Where to relax - search for budget options

In search of an inexpensive vacation option, tourists mainly pay attention to the cost of living in a hotel in the chosen country and the type of food, missing another important factor - the road. So, the final price of some vouchers increases by half and even more after recalculation, taking into account the cost of tickets.

Considering the available offers, 3 main indicators are evaluated:

• travel;
• nutrition;
• housing.

Often there is an erroneous opinion that a holiday in Russia is more affordable than a trip abroad. Many resorts are comparable in price to leading European countries, but inferior in quality of service. In the expanses of the motherland there are also places where a foreign tourist does not dare to go, but a Russian will get a lot of impressions and pleasure.

Holidays in Russia

The advantage of a holiday in your own country is the absence of the need to buy a tour. Tickets can be ordered for promotions or exchanged for existing bonuses.

The issue of accommodation can really be resolved on the spot and choose the option that suits the price-quality ratio: a hotel, a private sector, a hostel, and so on.

The cost of food is also regulated: self-cooking takes energy and precious time, but will significantly reduce the expenditure side of the budget. Cafes and canteens will become an affordable option, restaurants will be refined and most expensive.

Black Sea resorts

The former all-Union health resort remains popular among Russians and residents of neighboring countries. A couple of decades ago, a “savage trip”, a hut with outdoor amenities, was considered an excellent vacation.

Today, the Black Sea resorts offer guests international-class hotels with high quality service, mini-hotels and home hotels.

You can save a lot on tickets if you use the services of low-cost airlines - low-cost airlines flying to airports in the Krasnodar Territory and Crimea.

Sochi

The cost of a flight from the capital will cost an average of 6,000 rubles one way per person, the Pobeda low-cost airline has a lower ticket price - from 1,000 rubles, but they are sold out very quickly.



The most budgetary option for recreation will be renting housing in the private sector, visiting canteens or self-cooking. In this case, accommodation will cost approximately 1300 rubles per day.

For connoisseurs of a more comfortable stay, there are 2 and 3 star hotels with cozy rooms. Double standard costs from 3000 to 3500 rubles per day. There are also prestigious hotels with 4 stars, but the price per room ranges from 5000-5500 rubles.

The advantage of hotels is the location and the list of services provided. Baths, saunas, massage rooms, swimming pools, gyms located on the territory of the complexes increase the quality of relaxation.

It is worth considering that Sochi is a year-round resort. You can come here to ski in the winter, celebrate the New Year with a big company, spend the Christmas holidays with your family.

Adler

Adler is a popular resort on the Black Sea coast, where you can get from Moscow (since most Russian tourists go on vacation from here) for the same price as in Sochi, and it’s more economical to relax.



Housing is provided for any budget. There are offers from expensive comfortable hotels with an expanded range of additional services and from economy housing in the private sector, which will cost 600 rubles per day. A double room in a hotel, depending on the number of stars on its roof, will cost from 3,000 to 8,000 rubles.

Adler is rightfully considered a great option for a family vacation: it is affordable and has a lot of entertainment.

Crimea

The peninsula is ideal for beach and outdoor activities, on your own, as a couple or with children. An air flight to Simferopol costs an average of 7,000 rubles in summer, in autumn and spring ticket prices are lower. Trolleybuses and trains run from the airport to all cities along the coast.

Tourists eat in local cafes and canteens, the average check per person is 200-500 rubles, depending on the place of the meal. Affordable housing is easy to find in the villages - Olenevka, Nikolaevka and others, where prices start at 300 rubles a day.

It will take a little longer to get to the beach than when staying in hotels of the first and second lines, but the beauty of the Crimean nature and the money saved compensate for this shortcoming.

If you wish, you can not limit yourself to lying on the beach, but take excursions to the mountains, wine cellars, visit architectural monuments, water parks and many attractions that are easy to get from any city.

Gelendzhik

People rest here mainly from May to October, but boarding houses and sanatoriums work all year round. The beaches are pebbly or sandy, 80% of them are free.



Gelendzhik is one of the most popular and famous cities on the coast, so you can't count on low prices. Lunch in the dining room costs 300-600 rubles, and a visit to a restaurant costs at least 1,500 rubles, excluding alcoholic beverages. It is cheaper to buy groceries in chain supermarkets and cook at home.

Accommodation can be found both in private holiday homes and modern hotels. In the first case, you will have to pay from 1200 rubles per day (away from the sea) to 2000 rubles (on the coast). In the second - from 3500 rubles per day for accommodation in a three-star hotel.

A flight from Moscow during the peak season costs about 9,000 rubles.

Anapa

This city is famous for the best beaches on the Black Sea. Like Gelendzhik, it receives guests for spa treatment all 12 months, but the season lasts from May to October.



Boarding houses, thanks to the funding of the last eight years, have ceased to be a place of rest for older people. Spa centers, heated pools and modern gyms attract young people in winter and autumn.

For holidays with children, it is better to come in June or September - the sea is warm, but there is no suffocating daytime heat. These months will help make your vacation economical.

There are many hotels in the city, but when planning a family vacation, you should specify the age of the child: some hotels do not accept guests with children under 4 years old.

Average prices per night for accommodation:

• for a double room in a 3-4 star hotel on the first line - 6000-9000 rubles;
• mini-hotels on the coast - 2000-4000 rubles;
• sanatoriums of the second line (including breakfast) - from 1000 rubles;
• private sector near the sea - 200-500 rubles per guest.

Some hotels practice an all-inclusive food system; when relaxing in a sanatorium, you can count on breakfast or three full meals a day.

Those living in the private sector prefer to cook on their own and buy groceries in chain stores. For those who do not want to stand at the stove on vacation, locals will advise canteens where a business lunch or a set lunch will cost 150-200 rubles, in a cafe these dishes cost an average of 500 rubles, and a visit to a restaurant costs 2,000 rubles without alcohol.

Sea of ​​Azov resorts

The shallow and warm Sea of ​​Azov is ideal for families with small children.

The cheapest vacation option is renting housing in coastal villages: there are practically no entertainments and cafes here, but environmentally friendly, natural products, unique nature and good beaches are in abundance.



As well as on the Black Sea coast, it is easy to go here by car or by train to Yeysk, and then by local transport. Or fly by plane to Rostov-on-Don (the round-trip flight will cost about 10,000 rubles).

It will turn out to rent a private house for a week for 1500-3000 rubles, you will have to cook it yourself.

The cost of housing in the village of Golubitskaya and Yeysk is slightly higher - at least 6,000 rubles. However, there are already hotels, parks, cafes and entertainment attractions here.

Altai

Tourists prefer to travel not only to the south to the warm seas, but also to the picturesque places of the north, one of which is the Altai Mountains.



This is a holiday for active people: skiing is popular here in winter, in the rest of the year:

• rafting;
• riding;
• mountaineering;
• cycling and hiking.

The easiest way to get there is by plane to Barnaul or Novosibirsk, and then by bus or transfer of travel agencies (only in summer). It is preferable to use the services of the latter when traveling to the mountains, as drivers are well aware of the local rocky, uneven roads, and in a private car there is a high probability of getting stuck or flying into a ditch.

The average cost of a direct flight from Moscow:

• Gorno-Altaisk - 20,000 rubles;
• Barnaul - 14,000 rubles;
• Novosibirsk - 7,000-10,000 rubles.

From Barnaul and Novosibirsk to Gorno-Altaisk or Biysk, you will have to travel by train and bus (600-1000 rubles) or electric train (500-600 rubles).

• Chemal;
• Lower Katun;
• Turquoise Katun.

Housing prices depend on the type of accommodation chosen. So, if you have your own tent, this expense item will be zero, you will have to pay for the local service:

• renting a house in the private sector with a bath, barbecue and shower - from 600 rubles per person per day;
• cottage (depending on size and conditions) - from 1200 to 7000 rubles per person per day;
• organized camping - 300-400 rubles per day.

You can eat in cafes and restaurants (if meals are not included in the cost of renting a cottage), lunch costs 300-500 rubles per person.

Another item of expenditure when vacationing in Altai is excursions, without which a trip to this region does not make sense. Their cost starts from 500 rubles and can reach several thousand. If you have a personal car, they will cost quite cheaply, but subject to visiting flat sights.

Karelia

This is a unique land of forests and lakes where you can relax all year round. In winter, skiing, dog sledding and sledding are popular. In summer - fishing, rafting, horseback riding, picking berries and mushrooms. Favorite vacation spots for tourists are the islands of Valaam, Kizhi, Solovki, and Lake Ladoga.



It is preferable to stay at tourist bases or in cottage houses, the rent of which will cost 2000-5000 or 10,000-15,000 rubles, respectively.

Services depend on the type of recreation center and its price, as an additional service are:

• baths or Finnish saunas;
• quad bikes;
• catamarans;
• tennis courts;
• barbecues;
• bike rental and more.

It is more convenient to get to Petrozavodsk, the nearest point from where tours around Karelia begin, from St. Petersburg. The price of a train ticket is about 600 rubles, after which local transport routes operate.

Almost all guest complexes have cafes or restaurants, but there are also shops that offer a wide range of products for cooking your favorite dishes.

If you have your own transport, you will be able to save on all excursions, and having a tent - and on accommodation. However, in the latter case, it is worth stocking up on repellents, since midges and mosquitoes are permanent inhabitants of the Karelian forests.

Seliger

Holidays on this lake have been popular for several decades. The best place for a budget holiday is a tent on the sandy beach in the company of other tourists. The only problem during the season will be a shortage of firewood and a lack of food in the shops of the villages located near the spontaneous campsite.



Fans of a comfortable stay should rent a private house or settle in a recreation center. For a family, comfortable houses are suitable, for a large company - spacious cottages.

Rent will cost 900 - 1500 rubles per day for a place in the house or 9000 rubles for using a two-story cottage. The cost of living sometimes includes breakfast, it is possible to cook on your own or visit the dining room (average bill - 500 rubles per person).

It is more convenient to get to Seliger by private transport. In his absence - by train to Bologoye, and then by taxi. Ticket price starts from 700 rubles.

Rybinsk reservoir

A good option for an affordable vacation with children for those who cannot afford a trip to the sea or want to spend a weekend by the pond. There are about 40 recreation centers and guest complexes here; lovers of an active and extreme lifestyle can get by with accommodation in tents.



Renting a room will cost an average of 800-1200 rubles, a house - 2500-5000 rubles, a comfortable cottage - 8000-12,000 rubles.

In Rybinsk itself there are hotels, bars and discos, many cafes and restaurants. For lunch for one person you will have to pay about 600 rubles, if you order a complex - the price will be halved for the same dishes.

Tourists prefer to cook themselves - the range of shops located near the camp sites, this is quite possible.

In the absence of a personal car, the easiest way to get there is by train (1200 rubles) or by bus (from 880 rubles).

Tours abroad

If without a passport, the scope of the holiday territory is limited to the Russian Federation, then if it is available, the whole world becomes accessible.

It is more convenient to buy a comprehensive package tour, including:

• flight in both directions;
• accommodation in a hotel of the selected category;
• nutrition;
• airport transfer;
• medical insurance.

Now many tourists prefer to relax without intermediaries, that is, book a hotel on their own, choose a flight, believing that such a vacation is more profitable. This is not always true.

So, it is really cheaper to travel to European countries without the help of travel agencies, but it is still more convenient to purchase vouchers to exotic countries, since flights often cost 2-3 times more than food and accommodation services, which affects the final cost of the vacation.

Important nuances:

1. Traveling alone is more expensive than traveling alone or with a large company, as almost 90% of hotel rooms are doubles.
2. Some countries require an expensive tourist visa.

Abkhazia

Although the cost of holidays has become higher in recent years due to the actively developing tourism industry, it will still be possible to have a cheap holiday in Abkhazia.



There are two ways to get here without a visa:

• fly by plane to Adler (5000-7000 rubles), and then get by bus or train;
• take a train to Sukhumi (3,000 rubles per seat in a reserved seat).

It is cheaper to live in the private sector, but you need to be prepared not only for the lack of service, but also for basic amenities: cleanliness, a toilet room in the house.

The cost starts from 1,000 rubles for a house and 2,000 rubles a day for an apartment, but such housing is located far from the sea. An alternative is budget hotels at a price of about 1500 rubles. There are also good hotels in 3-4 stars, accommodation will cost 3500-5000 rubles per day.

Food will take the lion's share of the vacation budget. Low prices in Abkhazia are only for seasonal fruits and vegetables, other products are imported and expensive.

Lunch or dinner in a cafe costs 500 rubles per person, breakfast - about 200 rubles. In canteens and if there is a business lunch, this price can be half as much. An important nuance is unsanitary conditions in cheap establishments, so when eating in them, you should be prepared for some health problems.

Montenegro

The Balkan Riviera is a great place for a family vacation. There are no luxury hotels, night discos and concerts of domestic stars, but this is more than compensated by the cleanest sea and secluded beaches, unique nature and interesting sights. A visa for a stay of 60 days is not required.



A flight to Tivat or Podgorica is available - even during the peak season, August, the price for tickets with transfers will be about 4,200 rubles, a direct flight in both directions will not exceed 16,000 rubles.

The private sector on the Adriatic Sea offers houses from 900 rubles per day, large renovated apartments - from 3500 rubles. If you book in advance, the owners will give a discount.

A room in a 2-3 star hotel on the second line with an all-inclusive food system costs from 3,500 rubles per day, expensive first-line hotels offer accommodation in the range of 7,700-9,800 rubles.

If you eat in a cafe, you should focus on the following prices (per person, excluding alcohol):

• breakfast - 300 rubles;
• lunch and dinner - 600-1000 rubles.

Restaurants will cost 1.5 times more.

Turkey

This country has been leading the ranking of the most budgetary foreign resorts for more than 10 years.



In addition to the clean beaches of the Black and Mediterranean Seas, tourists are attracted by the opportunity:

• view historical memos;
• receive high service;
• successfully combine shopping and leisure.

A tourist visa is issued at the airport and is included in the cost of a package tour, which in this case is the most profitable type of trip.

So, it will turn out to have a rest for a week for 250-350 dollars per person, and when buying a "last minute" ticket, it will easily fit into 50 thousand rubles for two. A tour for 14 days in a season will cost 1000-15000 conventional units, in autumn - half the price. All this with your favorite All Inclusive food system.

Thailand

Like Turkey, this exotic country is quite accessible to Russian tourists, and the service in it is not inferior to popular resorts abroad. The season starts in October-November and ends in January, so the cheapest tours are in April and May.



It will turn out to fly to Thailand for a week for 750-850 dollars when buying a tour. If you rest without the services of a tour operator, then renting an apartment per month in the center of Pattaya will cost an average of $ 400.

You won’t be able to spend more than a hundred on food, because for 3-4 dollars you can have a great meal together at any local cafe. Housing outside the city or on the islands costs 2 times cheaper - $ 150-200 per month.

The point is small - to find the cheapest flight, and then for the same thousand dollars you will be able to relax not for a week, but for a whole month.

Georgia

People come here all year round and at the same time receive 3 types of recreation at once:

• nautical;
• ski;
• mud therapy.

Buying a tour is cheaper - $ 450-500 for 8 days per person with food and accommodation, but it limits the ability to travel around the country, where you can swim in the warm sea in the morning and conquer the mountain slopes in the evening.



The alternative is car rental, which allows you to view beautiful cities and beauties of nature, and accommodation in private hotel houses or tourist bases.

Renting a furnished room or a small apartment will cost about 2000 rubles per day in winter and 3500-4000 in summer.

Food prices are the most democratic: dinner in a good restaurant with alcohol rarely exceeds 1,200 rubles per person, and prices in cafes and canteens are much lower. In every city there are many fast foods with national dishes that can become worthy competitors to popular establishments. Even with the most wasteful diet, spending more than $300 on food in 10 days will not work.

A round-trip direct flight from Moscow to Tbilisi will cost 250 dollars, with transfers - 15-180 dollars. The country is considered visa-free.

Italy

This is one of the relatively budgetary European countries, where you can fly for 3-4 days, or for a week, if you can buy cheap air tickets.



It is more profitable to buy a flight to Rome or Milan - their prices are reduced due to shopping lovers (about 10 thousand rubles), and then get there by local transport.

The most affordable holiday in Rimini - hotel accommodation with breakfast will cost 75-100 dollars per day. If you're lucky and you manage to take a "burning" tour, the cost will drop to $40. Lunch costs 5-7 dollars per person, dinner - 10-12.

Egypt

The third popular destination, together with Turkey and Thailand, where a week of all-inclusive holidays will cost $ 250-300 per person.



Additionally, it is worth including the costs of excursions, without which a holiday in Egypt for a domestic tourist cannot be considered complete - the Sphinxes, the pyramids and Luxor.

Bulgaria

The most inexpensive form of recreation abroad, which is popular among tourists from the post-Soviet space. The calm sea and sandy beaches of Sunny Beach are an ideal place for a joint vacation with young children or elderly parents, as the level of service here is higher than in domestic resorts.



There are many modest hotels in Bulgaria, where a double room will cost about $20 per night. If you settle in the private sector, the price for accommodation will drop to 15-18 dollars.

Thanks to early booking or buying a last-minute tour, a ten-day vacation with three meals a day, a flight and accommodation in a 3-4 star hotel will cost 20-22 thousand rubles. Approximately the same prices for standard vouchers are valid in the velvet season.

For a trip, you should apply for a visa in advance, and an independent flight from Moscow to Sofia will cost 5000-7000 rubles.

Croatia

This country is also able to boast of budget vacation offers.



So, air tickets to Dubrovnik, Split or Pula will cost 14 thousand rubles in both directions, and the cheapest room in a mini-hotel - 30-40 dollars per day, but its location will be far from the sea and the historical center. The cost of rooms in 4-5 star hotels starts from $130.

The alternative is to negotiate with local residents in coastal villages, who are happy to rent rooms to tourists at a price of $ 250-300 per week.

It is better to eat in cafes and konobs - restaurants with local traditional cuisine. The farther from the city center, the lower the prices in institutions. Breakfast on average costs 4-5 euros, and lunch or dinner - 20 euros per person.

A visa is required for Croatia, you should take care of obtaining it in advance.

UAE

It is difficult to call this destination cheap, but you can save on a trip to the Emirates by buying a last-minute tour or early booking. The number of air carriers in the country is growing, which affects the cost of vouchers, but even this advantage will not allow you to save on an independent trip.



There are no cheap hotels and hostels in the country, food prices are high, so even if you find cheap plane tickets, you will not be able to reduce housing and food costs.

The price for a standard tour for 7 days ranges from 600-700 dollars per person, which is cheap for this country. Hunters for hot trips or those tourists who do not refuse to settle in a three-star hotel on the second line will pay less.

Another plus is that since 2017, you can apply for a visa directly upon arrival at the airport.

Cyprus

Package tours are also popular here, but meals in hotels include only breakfasts and dinners, and sometimes only a morning meal. Ticket prices are reasonable - a flight to Larnaca with classic airlines will cost 11 thousand rubles, with low-cost airlines - half the price.



However, finding a budget hotel is not easy - the cheapest hotels do not have rooms cheaper than $35 per night, and the average price is $45-65.

Add to this food, which in local cafes will cost $ 50 per person per day. The alternative is to rent a studio with a kitchen and buy groceries in a supermarket, which will reduce this part of the budget by a third. A visa to Cyprus is issued upon arrival.

Greece

It will be cheaper to relax in this country than in Cyprus: a flight to Thessaloniki or Athens will not exceed 9,000 rubles. A room in a good hotel costs 25-30 dollars a day. There are hotels in Corfu for 18-20 dollars, but air tickets there are almost 3,000 rubles more expensive.



Food is cheap - the daily budget per person rarely exceeds 17-20 dollars, a week's vacation will cost an average of 320-370 conventional units.

An important caveat - a visa is required, which should be issued in advance.

Vietnam

One of the cheapest exotic countries, where a daily budget of $20 allows you to enjoy all its charms without restrictions. This amount includes accommodation, meals, visits to classic and even unusual excursions.



For a visit to the country up to 15 days, a visa is not required. The most expensive item in the vacation budget will be the flight: a direct flight from Moscow (9-10 hours in the air) costs 28-32 thousand rubles, choosing a route with a transfer will save 5-8 thousand.

India (Goa)

It’s cheap to soak up the Indian Ocean at any time of the year, but even during the season (it comes in the winter months), vacation prices are affordable, especially if you choose the northern territories of the country for your vacation.



A package tour will cost an average of $400, the cost of an independent holiday depends on the rented accommodation: the price of rooms ranges from 8 to 500 conventional units per day.

The local cuisine is delicious and varied, but it is better to check the cost of dishes before ordering. The average check per person is 300-500 rubles for a full meal.

A visa to visit the country is issued in advance. The cost of a flight from Moscow averages 22 thousand rubles.

In order for a budget vacation in an exotic country or in the resorts of your native country to be remembered only by positive impressions, it should be calculated and thought out in advance, having studied all possible options for accommodation, food and travel.

It is advisable to add another 25-30% of the result obtained to the maximum amount - this will be a reserve for unforeseen circumstances necessary on any trip. If the trip goes according to plan, then the amount can be a great bonus for buying an unusual excursion, memorabilia or the basis of the next trip.

9 best places for a beach holiday with the motto “pick up and fly away”

Turkey

In one trip to Turkey, you can visit Europe and Asia, swim in the four seas, find yourself in the Land of Beautiful Horses, find a real treasure in the oriental bazaar and lose the sense of time and space on the travertine terraces of Pamukkale.

There are more than enough amazing beaches in Turkey: get acquainted with the top seven according to a local resident or make your own top. Gentle waves and golden sands are accompanied by bright summer entertainment. Just do not forget that the sea in the north warms up later, so connoisseurs of ancient ruins, rather than beaches, often go to the Black Sea coast of Turkey. The Sea of ​​Marmara is more conducive to an active (or vice versa - as you like it!) Beach holiday, but the water before the beginning of June is still too invigorating. The universally recognized "sunbath" of Turkey is, of course, the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea in the south. Here, the infrastructure of eternal summer is thought out to the smallest detail, and everyone will find a place to their liking - someone in a sun lounger, someone on the crest of a wave. The coast of the Aegean Sea is ideal for beginner divers, rafting along mountain rivers awaits extreme people, and romantics can take a trip on a yacht, which at night can turn into a foamy party right on the deck. But there are also water parks that easily blur the line between children and adults! Emotion splash champions include Dedeman in Bodrum, Aqua Fantasy in Izmir and Water Planet in Alanya. And when you get tired of unbridled fun, welcome to the hammam - for peace and renewal.

And what about the visa? The Turkish Republic is hospitable to the inhabitants of Russia: you can rest in the country without a visa and fees for up to 60 days, and to stay for another 3 months, it is enough to pay 149 Turkish liras.

South Korea

Still want to relax "not like everyone else"? Then head for South Korea, framed on three sides by the beaches of the Yellow, Japan and East China Seas.

Seoul residents love sunbathing on the country's east coast, especially since a beach holiday here is so easy to combine with health care and cultural experiences. The city of Sokcho, for example, is known for the Cheoksan hot spring spa resort, Seoraksan Mountain Nature Park, the 8th-century three-story Hyangseongsaji Pagoda, and the 18th-century Sinheungsa Buddhist Monastery. People go to another popular South Korean resort - to Gangneung - not only for a golden tan, but also to admire the bizarre Muryn Gorge and Guryong Waterfall, which seems to have descended from a classic Chinese miniature.

The peak of solar activity in South Korea is observed on the tangerine island of Jeju and on the “cow island” of Udo, 3.5 km to the east (Koreans see a cow on the map lying down to rest, hence the name). All conceivable beach activities are included, but the crowds of tourists are right there. If this is a fat minus for you, take a closer look at the snow-white beaches of the Yellow Sea in the south-west of the country. The official tourist website of the country (in Russian) will help you navigate the main resorts of South Korea.

And what about the visa? You can enjoy a beach holiday in South Korea for at least 60 days in a row - and no visa is needed! But what you need is a valid passport and ease of climbing.

Maldives

What unites Anastasia Volochkova, David Beckham, divers and newlyweds? Of course, love for the Maldives. Anomalous activity discovered at this year-round resort: life-changing!

In the Maldives, it is equally great to explore the underwater world with scuba gear and admire the shades of the sky with an exotic cocktail. Here, to this day, you can find a secluded beach and corners of untouched nature, despite the abundance of luxury hotels, romantic villas, pathos restaurants and spas. In fact, there are so many hotels on the islands that some did not even have enough space on the shore.

The beaches of North Male Atoll are closest to the airport. Ari Atoll is famous for its calm sea, convenient access to coral reefs and proximity to marine reserves. 130 km south of Male, giant sea turtles are registered on the white sands and in the clear waters of Miimu Atoll, and on the southernmost islands of the Maldives - Addu Atoll - you can occasionally get a certificate of crossing the equator.

And what about the visa? The gates of paradise open easily: a free visa to the Maldives for 30 days is issued to Russians right at the airport in Male.

Cyprus

It is impossible / doubly pleasant to lie by the pool, knowing that two steps away - ruins with a thousand-year history (underline as necessary). Aphrodite herself must have endowed this island with the ability to fall in love with herself.

Reversing the saying, we can say about Cyprus: how many people, so many beaches. For example, Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa was created for youth parties and resort acquaintances, and on the beach of Fig Tree Bay in the same Ayia Napa, it is ideal to relax with children. The quiet picturesque village of Protaras is also famous for its wonderful conditions for family vacations, and there is also an elite Sunrise with luxury hotels and Konnos Bay, which will appeal to lovers of secluded relaxation. Do not forget about the obligatory point of the program - reset a couple of years by swimming in the bay of Aphrodite between Limassol and Paphos. By the way, they say that lovers who swim together around the rocks of the goddess of love will never part.

If you manage to tear yourself away from the sun lounger, it's worth tickling your nerves on the uncompromising rides of Water World or diving to the sunken ship. And it is best to wash down impressions with royal commandaria wine!

And what about the visa? It takes only one day to obtain a Single Entry Pro-Visa for Cyprus. With it, you can sunbathe under the hot Cypriot sun for up to 90 consecutive days. If you are going to enter Cyprus several times within six months, it is also easy to apply for a multiple-entry visa at the consulate.

Montenegro

On the Montenegrin coast, in addition to the warm clear sea from June to October, you will find medieval fortresses, Venetian palaces, Christian monasteries and Turkish aqueducts. Near the town of Herceg Novi, in the resort of Igalo, you can pamper yourself with spa treatments with therapeutic mud. At least a couple of days should be devoted to the continental part of Montenegro: breathe in the aromas of a pine forest in the stunning Durmitor National Park with crystal lakes and the gorge of the Tara River, or get out to Skadar Lake, along the banks of which ancient fortresses and monasteries are scattered.

Diving, rafting, trekking - whatever attracts you during your summer holidays, the Montenegrin resorts of the Bay of Kotor and the Adriatic are at your service. Choose a beach to your liking - and go ahead, relax alone with nature!

And what about the visa? If you are traveling to Montenegro for less than a month, you will not need a visa.

Abkhazia

Down with language barriers! You can safely travel to hospitable and in every sense warm Abkhazia with children without knowledge of foreign languages ​​and even without a passport. The only but: make sure that you do not inadvertently end up on the territory of Georgia.

However, you are unlikely to want to leave Abkhazia at all: the pebble beaches of Gagra, Pitsunda and Gudauta are clean, serene and sparsely populated, time has no power over the beauties of Lake Ritsa, the number of balneological boarding houses is only growing, and salmon with trout and horse mackerel with sturgeon in the local rivers and the Black the sea is not translated.

The thirst of hunters for cultural impressions will be quenched by New Athos with the famous monastery and Sukhumi with the Bagrati castle, the Kelasuri wall and the ancient botanical garden. And with quenching your appetite in the regions where they invented hominy, mint cheese ashvchapan and adjika, there will definitely be no problems. And you know what, it’s still worth learning one word in the Abkhazian language: tell the locals “itabup” - “thank you” - they will be pleased!

And what about the visa? To enter Abkhazia, Russians do not need a visa or a passport (an ordinary one is enough). Fly to Adler, from where it is only 10 km along the Psou River to the Abkhazian border. At the border control, you will need to take out compulsory accident insurance in the amount of 30,000 rubles. The insurance premium upon entry for 1 day is 15 rubles, and if you stay longer, 10 rubles for each day of your stay in Abkhazia. Read more about the beauties and beaches on the official tourism website of Abkhazia.

Israel

Do you feel that both the soul and the body need healing? Then Israel is just what the doctor ordered. Maybe local attractions and placebos, but they still work!

Sea adventures in Israel can be started already in the reckless and party Tel Aviv. The Mediterranean coastline here is perfect for sports: Gordon Beach opposite the Sheraton Hotel offers tennis and volleyball, while Hilton Beach is popular with surfers. Life is in full swing on the portside beach of Hof a-Metzitzim, about which even a movie was made: here you will find a colorful market, trendy bars, and designer boutiques - and everything is within walking distance from the beach umbrella. And the calmest beaches of Tel Aviv are Alma in the south, near ancient Jaffa, and Banana Beach, where locals like to relax with the whole family, but it is never crowded.

The Red Sea is warmer than the Mediterranean, so the real resort splendor of Israel is revealed in Eilat. The local pearl is the coral beach Hof Almog. In its southern part, closer to the Egyptian Taba, kitesurfers catch the winds, and the north of the beach is created for diving, which you will tell your grandchildren about.

If you want to forget about problems and feel complete peace, go to the Dead Sea. You can hardly learn to walk on water, but you can try yourself in the role of Benjamin Button: rejuvenation at local salt and mud resorts is guaranteed. On the road - a few more ideas with which to combine a beach holiday in Israel.

And what about the visa? Residents of Russia can enter Israel without a visa as much as they want, the main thing is to spend no more than 90 days in the country in total for six months. Just make sure that your passport is valid for 6 months from the date of arrival, and prepare documents that may come in handy at the border.

Morocco

So far, the Russians have tasted only two Moroccan resorts - Agadir and Essaouira, both on the shores of the Atlantic. If you are not too lazy to drive 160 km to the south, take such a selfie against the backdrop of the red rocks of Legzira that you have never had so many “likes”. And if you're up for more for a rare experience, head to Dakhla. The water in the ocean here is +25 ° C all year round, and instead of crowds of tourists there are rare monk seals and a flock of surfers who compare Phum Labuir beach with Hawaii. Here you can go fishing or rent an SUV and go deep into Western Sahara to master the life of real nomads - such a vacation will not be forgotten! And to save on vacation, take a look at the newly opened resorts north of Agadir - Taghazout, Mazagan and Lixus.

There are also secluded beaches on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco. Take a closer look at the picturesque carved strip between Tangier and El Hoceima: the sea is gentle here, and many beaches, along with quiet fishing villages, are buried in paradise greenery. If you prefer an all-inclusive holiday, you will love the new resort of Tamuda Bay in the vicinity of Tetouan and Saidia in Berkane, right on the border with Algiers. Opposite Spanish Andalusia, by the way, there is a huge tourist complex of Mediterrania-Saidia with a yacht club and a golf course.

In addition to a beach holiday, it is worth visiting the capital of Morocco, Rabat (the minimum program is the Royal Palace and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V), Marrakesh (what will win you over - the Old City "medina" or the new Ville Nouvelle area?), Casablanca (maybe you will hear echoes of cinematic passions ) and Fez (especially good for leisurely walks through the gardens and a cup of mint tea in a cute cafe). We also advise you to wander through the blue labyrinths of the mountainous Chefchaouen, which entered the top of the brightest cities in the world according to Skyscanner. A bonus for fans of Game of Thrones and other movie epic masterpieces: some scenes with the Mother of Dragons were filmed in the medieval ksar of Ait Ben Haddu.

And what about the visa? Citizens of Russia can rest in Morocco for up to 90 consecutive days without a visa, but the passport must be valid until the end of the trip. On the plane, you will need to fill out a migration card.

Madagascar

“Well, I asked, don’t bother me when I dream. If I'm all in the astral plane, don't get involved!" - striped Marty said to his friend Alex the lion. Make sure that the cartoon island of Madagascar really exists, and no one will forbid you to fulfill your dreams here.

The company on vacation on the fourth largest island in the world will be made up of motley lemurs, colorful geckos, beak-breasted turtles, panther chameleons, pharaoh mice and - now attention! - hands ah-ah. If you think that these are all the surprises of nature that await you in Madagascar, it was not there. Landscapes on the island-reserve succeed each other, as in a kaleidoscope: just now you were walking among the baobabs, when you suddenly found yourself near a rice field or a dormant volcano. To one side is a sun-dried valley, turn your head, and you have evergreen mangroves in front of you. Here is the stone forest of Tsingy de Bemaraha, here are the graceful orchids of the Montagne d'Ambre park, and here is the fabulous azure coast with white sand.

The west and north of Madagascar are perfect for a beach holiday in summer: rainfall is rare here, the water off the coast of Morondava is never cooler than +25 ºС, and on the island of Nosy Be there is always saturated humid air, warmed up to comfortable + 26-28 ºС. If you can’t stand the humidity, head to the resorts of the Anakao Peninsula in the southwest: here the climate is semi-desert with a fresh breeze. On the famous island of St. Mary (Nosy Buraja, aka Ile Sainte Marie), sunny weather most often lasts from late August to December (in July-September, you can also watch whales). If you are driving south along the east coast, to the coral beach of Fulpoint (Mahavelona), keep in mind that it is safe to swim only in the hotel zone: real sharks are in charge of the reefs. Prices, it should be noted, also bite, especially in the south of the city - do not hesitate to bargain.

And what about the visa? Visa for 30 days is issued upon arrival and does not cost a penny. If you want to spend up to 90 days on the island, a single or multiple entry visa will be issued to you at the Embassy of Madagascar in Moscow for 77 €. published
