The most economical vacation at sea. Where is the cheapest place to relax on the sea this summer? The main types of recreation and entertainment for children and their parents

We have studied guidebooks, forums, blogger reports, booking systems, websites with food prices and selected the most affordable countries for vacations. For each, we calculated the budget for two people a day and converted it into dollars. This is the average amount for a couple of travelers who live in the same room, do not like to spend too much and stick to the golden mean in everything. After all, everyone understands different things by comfort: one will have enough beds in a hostel, others will still choose among five-star hotels. Therefore, we did not take into account luxury hotels and restaurants, but found out how much it costs to eat in ordinary local cafes and live in guesthouses, mini-hotels or apartments on Airbnb.

In some countries, costs are easily cut one and a half to two times, if you use public transport, there is no tourist places and look for hotels on the principle of "we only spend the night." For India and Indonesia, for example, we recommend a daily budget of $40-50, but these countries can be traveled as a couple for $20 per day.

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).

Read a useful informative article about comparing countries: What to choose - Thailand or Vietnam, Sri Lanka for quality inexpensive holidays, excursions and entertainment?

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 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 to rest 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 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 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 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 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, 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 like 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 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.

It has already happened more than once that my friends asked me advice at different times of the year, but where is the best place to go now? And what about the rains now? What is the weather like in...? Well, and so on. To make life easier for myself and all of you, I have collected here the most attractive destinations and countries where it is better to relax in each particular month.

The set of recommendations below is general, and for each country you must then look at the weather forecast separately and read the climate features of the place and beach where you are going. The information was collected based on reviews from the forums, because the websites of travel agencies and tour operators often contain complete nonsense, like the best thing to do in August is to relax in Egypt (there is incredible heat!)

My beloved Thailand

I want to draw your attention to the fact that there are such magical places in the world where you can relax all year round, for example, in Thailand in Pattaya, Cha-am, Hua Hin. Or in the Canaries on the island of Tenerife, where the weather is favorable all year round. Or so loved by all the beautiful Maldives. Therefore, I will not mention them every month.

Where is the best place to relax in January

If you want to sunbathe and swim in the sea, the most the best place- these are Asian beaches (Indonesia, Bali, Thailand (Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi, etc.), Malaysia, India, Goa, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Seychelles, UAE) or beaches caribbean(Dominican Republic, Cuba, Tahiti, etc.)

You can also rush to Egypt or Tunisia, but keep in mind that it will be just comfortably warm there for walking, but not for swimming or sunbathing.

When planning your trip, don't forget that January is a holiday month and it's best to buy all your tickets in advance.

Where is the best place to relax in February

The hottest countries this month are Thailand (Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi, Chang), Cambodia and their closest neighbors Myanmar, Malaysia, the Philippines. Vietnam is also good, especially for surfers, because there big waves. You can try to go to Bali, although there is still a risk of getting into the rainy season. You can also go to countries a little to the west, for example, the United Arab Emirates, Goa, Sri Lanka or the Maldives.

Starting in February, Europe is slowly opening its doors, and already in February you can arrange a sightseeing trip to the south of Italy.

And you can have a good rest in the Canary Islands. Or choose an even more western direction and relax in February in another hemisphere, for example, in the Caribbean.

Where is the best place to relax in March

Egypt is the most popular beach holiday destination in March. And although it may still be a little windy, it is already warm enough to bask on the beach and swim in the Red Sea. Also, it is not very hot this month in the UAE, the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean islands.

Koh Phangan), where it is hot, but still tolerable, the Seychelles, Singapore, Indonesia, Bali, Vietnam with clear weather and clear sea, remain invariably good. An additional plus is that on May 25, all Buddhist countries celebrate Buddha's birthday beautifully and brightly.

You can also suggest that you go to Greece with its islands of Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Zakynthos or Cyprus, but keep in mind that it can still be cold there.

From the East Asian countries, you can choose Bali, where in June it is not so humid and there is no rain, or Thailand (O. Samui, O. Tao, O. Koh Phangan). I would warn you against trips to other Asian and South African countries - it is too hot there during this period. As well as in the Caribbean, although many at this time still travel to the Dominican Republic.

No less warm in neighboring countries - Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia. Vietnam is also warm, but the ocean is a little restless.

In the Caribbean (Cuba, Dominican Republic) in December it is warm and mostly dry, although it may rain for a short time.

P.S. If you have any interesting and useful information on the topic of where it is better to relax in each month, I will be glad for any of your feedback and comments.

P.P.S. Remember that depending on the country, you need to use different hotel booking systems, one in Europe, another in Asia. But prices in all systems at once for the same hotel can be found in the metasearch engine, a very convenient joke.

Life hack #1 - how to buy good insurance

Choosing insurance is now unrealistically difficult, so to help all travelers. To do this, I constantly monitor forums, study insurance contracts and use insurance myself.
