Where better to relax on vacation. Where is a cheap vacation at sea this summer? Holidays in Russia

Crisis, coronavirus, quarantines - it seems that all Egyptian executions hit you and me at once. Will you even be able to relax this summer? And also inexpensive? It will work! There are still dozens of good places by the warm sea where we can go to rest this summer. Find out about the cheapest tours (up to 33000 ₽) and the rules of rest during a crisis.

For the seventh year in a row I have been helping the readers of the site to have an inexpensive and interesting vacation. Well, in a crisis, such advice is especially relevant. Together we have already gone through the crisis of five years ago, we will survive this one without giving up travel. I've made a selection of the cheapest tours and air tickets: choose where to go this summer - there are still plenty of inexpensive and quiet places.

The cost of the tours is indicated for two adults departing from Moscow (the headings contain the price per person).

How to have an inexpensive vacation in a crisis - 2020

Eh, it would be fine only a crisis! Duck, after all coronavirus travels the planet and no one knows where he will bomb next time. China, Korea, Italy, Israel and many others have already dropped out of the list of countries for recreation. The list will continue to grow. The main problem is not the virus, but quarantine and border closures. Even countries where there are few cases of infection are prohibited from entering: Tunisia, the Philippines, Slovakia, Czech Republic and others. I would advise against planning trips for the next few weeks just yet. But in a month the situation will most likely return to normal and the borders will stop closing. The safest recreation strategy at the moment: either to rest somewhere nearby (Crimea, Sochi, Abkhazia), or on a hot tour with a departure in the very next few days in countries where everything is calm. It seems to me that the situation will definitely improve by the summer, so you can safely plan any trips for the summer.

And now about how to save a little during the crisis.

Relax in June or September - this is one and a half to two times cheaper than in July and August. True, the Black and Mediterranean Seas at the beginning of summer are not yet very warm, but in September they are just perfect.

Buy tours online rather than at travel agencies to catch the lowest prices. I recommend and - there you can easily find profitable tours for your needs. They will help to save a little more.

Our south - from 9000 ₽

There are many myths around our Black Sea resorts. Some say that the rest there is terrible and is only suitable for masochists. Others are sure that vacationing in our south is insanely expensive. Fortunately, these are all delusions!

Whatever one may say, but resting in our south is cheaper than abroad at sea. It has always been this way, and even more so in the summer of 2020 at the current exchange rate. Only luxury rest is expensive in our country - they ask for some absolutely insane money, but the quality still does not hold out. For a beautiful inexpensive vacation, you need to go to Turkey, Greece, Thailand and so on. And in the Crimea and Krasnodar Territory you need to go for a normal, healthy vacation: without yachts, villas, spas and other luxury. Clear sea, pines, junipers, mountains, palms, dolphins, fruits - you will definitely find all these joys in our south. And dozens of our guide articles will help you with this.

Don't listen to critics! Crimea and Krasnodar Territory are wonderful places. We went there to rest an uncountable number of times, brought friends and family and will definitely return again. They always spent little money, and received impressions above the roof. What can I say there, after all, even lying on the beach in the Maldives, I can dream of another trip to Crimea. Why? It's just more interesting there! So feel free to come to our south. Just follow these simple rules: relax in small villages, and book all tickets and accommodation in advance.

Prices... For June, there are vouchers from 18000 ₽ for two for 7 nights. Simple housing can be found from 500 rubles, and something more comfortable and decent - from 1500 rubles. Flights from Moscow to Anapa and back cost from 6400 rubles per person, to Crimea - from 7500 rubles, to Sochi - from 5800 rubles. In large villages it is easy to find inexpensive cafes and canteens. As you can see, it is quite possible to go to the Black Sea for an inexpensive vacation this summer.

Maldives? Dominican Republic? No, this is a beach in Crimea! The village of Olenevka. Fine light sand, clear water and rich underwater world - this can be found even on the Black Sea in Russia.

Abkhazia - from 9000 ₽

In terms of prices, climate, language and recreation conditions, Abkhazia is practically the south of Russia, but at the same time it is still a little bit abroad. Yes, even if their infrastructure is barely developed and they have not heard about the service. But in the unrecognized republic there are no airports, no flow of Chinese foreign tourists, so you don't have to worry about the coronavirus. He would be the last to get to this small mountainous country. Instead of all these foreign viruses, only the familiar and native rotavirus infection.

It seems to be abroad, but everything here is its own, familiar, dear. Sukhum, Abkhazia. (Photo: Soviet Artefacts / unsplash.com)

Turkey - from 15,000 ₽

Still, 2020 turned out to be a fruitful year. Not enough for us the coronavirus, not enough for us the crisis, let us also have political problems. Walk so walk! Eh, I hope all these skirmishes and games will stop, because we cannot lose Turkey in any way!

Turkey is practically synonymous with cheap vacations. And good at the same time. For every budget, you will find an excellent vacation program here: you want ultra-budget hotels near the sea, you want all-inclusive, you want elite resorts and luxury hotels. Turkey has it all! And there is also excellent cuisine, cool nature, a lot of attractions, shopping and any kind of entertainment.

And how much does it all cost this summer? Only from 30,000 ₽ for two per week of rest. All inclusive will be several thousand rubles more. And a ticket to a really good hotel can be taken for 60-80K rubles for two.

In Turkey, it is easy to find the cleanest sea and almost deserted beaches even in July! You just need to know the place. The picture shows the beach in Phaselis. I liked it there so much that I went there twice and spent my birthday there.

Bulgaria - from 16500 ₽

Greece - from 22,000 ₽

Tours are more expensive this year, because there is a crisis. Now I see options for any summer month from 44,000 rubles for two per week of rest. At the current exchange rate, the price is normal, but maybe you will be lucky to find a more profitable last minute tour. Good luck!

Our vacation in Greece on the island of Rhodes last June on a hot tour for 27,000 rubles for two. It was possible to take a tour for 21,000, but we chose a classy and cozy hotel a little more expensive. We really enjoyed:)

Montenegro - from 18,000 ₽

Italy - from ??? ₽

Photo from my trip to Favignana Island. Just look at the color and purity of this water! This is the coolest place where I went swimming. Cuba, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Thailand and are not close. Unless only the Maldives can compete.

Cyprus - from 23,000 ₽

Tours for the summer of 2020 now cost from 46,000 rubles for two. I guess even the last minute deals will not change this price much. For some reason, a vacation on the island always costs a little more than in Greece. But you do not need to bother with the Schengen, after all.

Tunisia - from 25,000 ₽

Tunisia does not want to become a second Turkey or Egypt and still has a higher price tag. But you can still relax here quite inexpensively. Tours for a week cost from 50,000 rubles for two, which is quite a feasible amount. There are many all-inclusive offers - they cost about 10-20 thousand more.

Spain - from 27,000 ₽

This is how I first saw Tenerife at dawn from a cruise ship. Beauty! I really love volcanic islands and have long dreamed of exploring the entire Canary archipelago up and down. Hopefully I'll go there soon for at least a month.

Thailand - from 33,000 ₽

In Thailand, summer is not the season, but it is still great to relax on the sea there. Judge for yourself: there are almost no tourists, the beaches are free, the prices for housing, food and entertainment are falling by almost half. And on top of that - an abundance of cheap fresh fruit! Yes, it will rain occasionally, the humidity is high and the sea can be a little cloudy. I have outlined the picture for you, then decide for yourself. Personally, I like rest in Tae in the low season.

Tours for a week cost from 66,000 rubles for two, for two weeks - from 74,000 rubles.

Since the beginning of spring, many are worried about the question: "Where to go in the summer?" There are many options for summer vacations, but it is not easy to find the optimal ratio of expenses for food, accommodation and entertainment (with decent service) and the cost of the flight. Moreover, you need to take into account the cost of a visa, this can amount to such a "tidy" amount that the family of ordinary Russians cannot handle it. But it is not all that bad. There are good opportunities, especially in countries with a visa-free regime. You should not neglect the southern regions of Russia with beautiful nature and well-functioning infrastructure.

Where to relax in Russia in summer: top of the cheapest and most interesting destinations

It is not necessary to dream of a foreign vacation, in Russia there are many great places for a summer vacation with a family... Resort services are not well developed everywhere, but the list of interesting and promising corners is quite large. Learn more about some of them.

Crimea

It is impossible to ignore this truly heavenly place where steppes and tropics meet. Seasoned tourists prefer to rest in summer in Alupka, Simeiz, Miskhor, Foros and Livadia. These are relatively quiet resorts with not very high prices, excellent beaches, amazing parks and many historical sites.

Where to go for outdoor activities?

1. 
   Fans of mountain hikes, horse walks and paragliding flights are better off to Yalta, Alushta, Koktebel.


2. 
   Those who prefer ATV racing should go to Evpatoria, Bakhchisarai, Alushta, Yalta and Sevastopol.


3. 
   Kayaking is developed in Balaklava, and diving is in Sudak.

But in Crimea there are also quiet, rather secluded places for recreation. In the east of the peninsula, they can be found in the region of Feodosia, Sudak, Koktebel and Kerch. And on the western coast - these are Lyubimovka, Popovka, Okunevka, they are located at Cape Tarkhankut and Chersonesos. For families with children, Evpatoria and Feodosia are popular, it is always warm here, the water is well warmed up, sunny, sandy beaches and a developed entertainment infrastructure for children. But in the cheaper Olenevka, Nikolaevka, Beregovoe and Katsiveli, the beaches are more spacious, although there is little entertainment. The beaches of the South Coast are pebbly, the coast is with steep serpentines and slopes with many steps, which is not comfortable for kids, there are few sloping places, but there are many attractions and interesting excursions for children and adults, and this attracts tourists.

Getting from Moscow to Crimea is long and inconvenient. A train to Simferopol costs from the capital from 3,600 rubles, and from St. Petersburg - a couple of thousand more expensive (one way).

Meals in the dining room cost 100-200 rubles, in a cafe - 200 rubles, in a restaurant - twice as much, but these prices are average. There are a lot of cheap vegetables and fruits in the markets, for example, a kilogram of grapes costs only 30 rubles.

Average prices in three-star hotels in high season start from 2500 rubles. per day per person. And by region, the cost of housing is as follows:

It is a well-known children's resort with pebbly and sandy beaches. The shore is well-groomed, with a gentle bottom and a convenient entrance to the sea. The city is located on a plain, the central beach is crowded, and by the end of summer it is not suitable for swimming due to algae.

Other beaches are small-pebbled, with clear waters, and shallow bottoms, which are ideal places to relax with kids. Modern hotel complexes have swimming pools, gyms, playgrounds, restaurants with excellent cuisine and animation. But their prices cannot be called budgetary, they are at the level of the famous resorts in Turkey.

Where to go abroad

Holidays abroad are not always more expensive than domestic ones. The point here is in the long-term traditions of high-quality and diverse tourist services in a highly competitive environment. Away you can get much more for the same money than at home. Indeed, in many regions of the fatherland, the recreation industry is not yet sufficiently developed, and food prices are quite high. So it turns out that it is cheaper to have a rest in Turkey, especially on a burning ticket with purely symbolic flight costs. Therefore, summer vacations abroad are not always very expensive.

The most expensive food in Phuket, in Bangkok it is much cheaper - 5-10 dollars per day. On mobile carts, national food can be bought for a dollar.

Holidays with children are acceptable, but it is better to choose tours without full board. It will be much cheaper, and you can buy or prepare food for children yourself.

Maldives

You can fly from Moscow to Male for 28-32 thousand rubles, and from there the flight will cost another 100-300 $. Accommodation costs from 20-30 dollars, vouchers for 3 nights can be bought for 110 thousand rubles, for 11 nights - from 141 thousand rubles.

Food on vacation costs up to $ 20 per day. It is best to relax on the island of Maafushi, there is a ferry service with the capital (2 dollars). Accommodation here is ten dollars cheaper than in the capital, but food is very expensive, because all products have to be brought. Lunch for two costs up to $ 10. The beaches on the island, where there is little vegetation, are free, but still very clean, without protective umbrellas and sun loungers. Such a vacation is completely unacceptable for children, and there is practically no entertainment for them, as well as for adults.

Exotic Maldives

You can find a good option abroad. Prices for tours are different, much depends on the type of service chosen and the distance of the property from the sea. Even with an expensive flight, you can afford a vacation where food and accommodation are relatively cheap, but at the same time they are varied with an abundance of vegetables and fruits.

Where to go to rest on the sea in the summer?

Good day, dear readers! How is your summer going? Have you already managed to get a chocolate-golden tan and swim in the beneficial salty waters of the sea? If not, then today's topic of the article will be very relevant for you. Especially for those who are just planning their vacation and looking for where to relax in the summer by the sea, I have conducted a research on such resorts as Russia (Black and Azov Seas), Turkey, Greece, Cyprus and Italy. How do you like these options? Are you interested?

Features of rest in these countries, pluses and minuses, approximate prices for tours, tips - you will learn all this in the article and will be able to choose the most comfortable destination for yourself. Happy reading and good mood! I wish your sea trip in 2017 to be as successful and unforgettable as possible!

It is always pleasant to have a rest on the sea. There is no need to think about work, everyday problems and other routine concerns. Here you are the master of your time and your own actions, isn't that so? Do you want to lie on the beach and do nothing? You are welcome! Water sports or mountain climbing? No problems! Or maybe culturally enrich and get acquainted with the sights and nature of the region? Everything is for you!

In addition to relaxing activities, the sea also takes care of your health. Many of these resorts are not only places for relaxation of body and soul. There are many sanatoriums on the sea, staying in them, you can improve your health well. This type of recreation is often chosen by families with children; the benefits of spa treatment for a child are obvious. In addition, choosing a summer vacation at the sea, you will receive not only the warm sun, sandy or pebbly beaches, azure waters and healing air (saturated with calcium, iodine, bromine). It is also active recreation, meeting the locals, fun, energy and only positive emotions. Sounds exciting, right?

Holidays in Russia

Our country was chosen first for a reason. After all, this is the simplest option of the proposed, but no less interesting than traveling abroad. I propose to consider what other advantages of resting on the Black and Azov Seas, in addition to territorial proximity and relatively low prices:

• The first and most tangible advantage is that you do not need a foreign passport to relax at sea in Russia. Situations are different:, did not have time to issue, etc.
• Secondly, the pluses include a mild climate and the absence of a long period of acclimatization. The Azov Sea, due to its shallow depth (on average - 7 km, and in the deepest places - 13 km), is warm already in June.
• Thirdly, there are many places where you can take a break from the hustle and bustle. Of course, large, noisy beaches also prevail, but if you wish, you can find a secluded and comfortable corner.
• Fourthly, having come to the Black Sea, you will enjoy not only a beach holiday, but also the picturesque nature and a variety of attractions. Azov is a paradise for those whose goal is passive pastime.
• Fifthly, here you can find housing for any wallet. Do you want to relax in the summer with your family at the sea, but are stopped by a limited budget? No problem! The Azov Sea is ideal. On Black, the price is slightly higher, but here you can find something acceptable for yourself.
• Sixth, - as already mentioned, this is recovery. Healing mud springs, sea water, air. Your body will say “Thank you very much”!
• Seventh, a variety of opportunities for different target audiences. For example, young people will be able to choose for themselves resort areas with an abundance of nightclubs and other entertainment venues, families with children - calm and quiet places with cozy cafes and restaurants.

Tip: If you want to have a cheap vacation at the sea in the summer, then it is best to organize a vacation in the winter. Why? Solving the issue in advance, you can buy a tour for a cheaper price with the "early booking" promotion, or when traveling on your own, track the most profitable flights and choose accommodation from a variety of offers of hotels, boarding houses, recreation centers. Closer to the date of departure, the choice will not be so great, and most likely, you will have to make it from what is left. It is not a fact that the options will be harmonious in terms of price / quality ratio. By starting your search for housing a few months before departure, you will 100% find an excellent solution at an affordable cost.

If we talk about the cons, then there are not so many of them. For example, on the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov, there is no abundance of vegetation and attractions in comparison with the Black Sea. There can be a lot of jellyfish on hot days. But in my experience, they are not dangerous. Just a little discomfort. And as a rule, in the early morning and late afternoon, there are not so many of them. Also, on the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov, the level of comfort and service is slightly lower. In some places there is no modern developed infrastructure.

Popular resorts of the Azov Sea - Yeisk, the coast of the Taman Peninsula - the village of Golubitskaya, Taman, Peresyp, Kuchugury.

Disadvantages of the Black Sea - in some cities it is difficult to take a break from the bustle of the city due to the large number of tourists. There can be a lot of people on the beaches. But the choice of resorts here is so great that you can easily choose your heavenly place for yourself. I recommend paying attention to hotels with their own beach, then you can avoid this problem.

Popular destinations are Sochi, Yalta, Anapa, Alushta, Feodosia, Sudak.

What are the prices? After analyzing the housing market in August, my conclusions are pleasant enough. If you are not very picky and do not take top hotels, then rest on a tour in Sochi (flight + hotel with breakfast + 3 * insurance) will cost around 50/70 thousand rubles. for two (I took the data on the website http://travelata.ru). In Crimea on the same terms, about the same. Of course, if you fly on your own and look for flight and accommodation options in advance (in winter), the cost will be lower.

A more budgetary vacation is possible on the coast of the Azov Sea. True, I can't say anything about the tours, but a room in 3-star hotels in Taman for 2 per week with breakfasts will cost about 16 thousand rubles + train tickets (15,000 rubles for two). As you can see, the prices are affordable. Hurry while there are still places!

You can find additional information on Crimea in the article. Happy reading!

Colorful Turkey

Turkey is a fabulous country that combines oriental flavor and European lifestyle. Its rich centuries-old history, beautiful views and modern all-inclusive beach holidays are what attracts travelers from all over the world.

The advantages of rest here are undeniable:

• Simple visa regime. You can apply for a visa right at the airport, which, as a rule, does not take much time.
• Providing comprehensive services. Turkey is the first country to adapt the all-inclusive system. Enjoy your vacation and don't worry about anything. Food, drinks, snacks are abundant here. However, keep yourself in control. A lot of different goodies can turn into such a disadvantage as unwanted pounds in weight.
• Direct flights. Airplanes regularly fly to this country. Moreover, you can find a flight to almost every city in Turkey and from any region of Russia.
• A subtropical climate that is perfectly tolerated, regardless of age, as well as barely perceptible acclimatization.
• Endless opportunities for both active (golf, tennis, water sports) and relaxing (acquaintance with authentic sights), thanks to the development of entertainment services, rich history and extraordinary culture.
• A variety of treatments and spa services. For example, I recommend visiting the Turkish bath "hammam" and thermal springs in Pamukkale.
• Great shopping. The textile industry is very developed in Turkey. And the colorful bazaars of the country are a separate attraction. It is not only pleasant to walk on them, but you can also buy useful trinkets or original decor items.

In addition, it is pleasant that the resorts of Turkey treat children with awe. Therefore, you can safely go here with the whole family. There is an active nightlife for young people - clubs, bars, beach parties.

There are disadvantages in Turkey. The main one is the huge number of tourists. There is also deception - when a restaurant bill for a dinner is billed for a large amount. This can be found in a taxi, in a shop, or in a bazaar. So pay attention to prices.

Tip: For example, to avoid cheating in a restaurant, ask for a menu, sum up the cost of the order yourself. Or, when paying for an excursion, carefully study the brochure and make sure that everything specified in it is completed.

I also want to draw the attention of girls: avoid lonely walks in the late evening. It is known that the Turks are greedy for Slavic beauty. Be careful!

Popular resorts in Turkey are Ankara, Alanya, Antalya, Belek, Pammukale, Kemer. Each of them offers a wider choice of recreation conditions.

Now I propose to get acquainted with the prices. Trust me, they won't disappoint you. Intrigued? A vacation for two in a 3/4-star hotel will cost you about 55/70 thousand rubles, and on an all-inclusive basis. Don't believe me? I attach a screenshot. I'm not talking about "cool options", the cost there can go up to 250 thousand. But you can pick up an ordinary average hotel on the shore for the amount I indicated. How do you like this proposal?

Bright Greece

Why Greece? It's that simple! This country is the cradle of civilization. Everything in Greece breathes history. Lots of attractions, magnificent nature, delicious cuisine, high level of hotels - everything that will help you relax and enjoy your vacation. Greece is the 3rd most refundable country. What does it mean? Having come here once, you will undoubtedly want to come back again. Tested by thousands of tourists!

Greece is not one of the countries that accept tourists from Russia without visas, nevertheless, a trip to this country is a profitable option compared to such seaside resorts as, for example, Spain or the popular Thailand.

As for me, the main advantages of Greece as a resort are:

• Leisure safety.
• Excellent service level, well-developed infrastructure. Many of the country's hotels regularly receive quality awards.
• A truly relaxing atmosphere. Greece's unique ability is to give peace to everyone who visits it. The magical nature of the country and the hospitality of the inhabitants charge with positive energy.
• Local food is perfect for Russians. Greek dishes are rich in healthy and low-calorie ingredients. These include - olives, seafood, feta cheese.

I will probably stop at this, since you can endlessly list the advantages of Greece. The country is not inferior to its competitors in all criteria for recreation. I will only note that Russians are close to fly here, and you can relax on the sea in the summer both on the mainland and on the islands. What do you prefer?

Greece - a magnificent Mediterranean beach holiday, as well as a rich excursion program all year round. The article will help you in choosing a vacation spot in the country. I hope you will enjoy.

Tip: Greece is the country that conquers. Arriving here, if possible, get to know several of its regions. Then you can feel the magic that does not let go and "makes" come back.

I just can't go to the minuses. Well, there are practically none in this country. Is that - the need for a visa. But this is not a drawback at all, is it not? It can be issued at the country's consulate in Moscow or St. Petersburg in just 3 working days. Don't forget to purchase beforehand. I wrote about how to apply for a Schengen visa on my own.

Popular resorts in the country are Crete, Halkidiki, Rhodes, Corfu, Santorini and all other cities and countless islands. I assure you, each of them is worth special attention. Therefore, just lying on the beach in Greece is not an option, such a pastime can be regarded as a crime. Admire the local beauty and discover the “soul” of the country. She is unique!

Wondering what is the cost of a week's vacation in Greece for two in a 3-star hotel? For example, I looked at the prices for the island of Rhodes (the country is large, all options cannot be considered within the framework of this article). If you take accommodation with breakfast in August, you can find a tour to a 3-star hotel on the shore for 50/70 thousand rubles. (price depends on the beach and hotel).

Sunny Cyprus

Cyprus is a wonderful island and the dream of many travelers. It is located in the Mediterranean Sea. Here, all life is subordinated exclusively to the interests of tourists. Cyprus has a mild climate, beautiful nature, there is entertainment for every taste, the beaches are clean, and the hotels have different stars.

The Land of Cyprus is an open-air museum, after exploring which you can enjoy excellent Greek cuisine and pleasant communication with friendly locals. Describing Cyprus, I was mentally transported to one of its beaches. Many of them, by the way, received the Blue Flag mark for excellent ecology. Here is such a beautiful Cyprus.

Rest here will leave extremely enthusiastic emotions. There are practically no drawbacks in Cyprus. Moreover, they are so insignificant that you may not even notice them. Among the disadvantages is the ban on photography and video filming in museums, some religious sites. But it can be removed by submitting a written application. Also remember that food prices are not low here. For organized excursions on the island, they ask to give a significant amount of money. Tourists, as a rule, agree upon hearing the intriguing name, but then some remain disappointed due to long journeys and a large number of people in iconic places.

Tip: deciding to see the beauty of Cyprus, it is better to rent a car, buy an entrance ticket and enjoy. So you can not only save money, but also see much more, as well as get only positive impressions from your pastime. Basically, all attractions are located far from the resort areas. Most of them are concentrated in the capital. Read about my experience of renting a car and moving around the island.

I also want to draw your attention to the fact that in small shops and taxis they often do not give small change. Therefore, if your budget is limited, then you should have small bills. More information about the country can be found in the article. I wrote about what souvenirs can be brought as a gift to friends. I recommend reading it.

Current destinations are Ayia Napa, Laranca, Pissouri, Paphos and Protaras.

Now it's time to check out the prices for a weekly tour in Cyprus. Do not forget to apply for a visa in advance at the country's consulate in Moscow or St. Petersburg. The good news is that you can get it in just one day.

Let's get back to prices anyway. A week of rest in a 3-star hotel in Cyprus with breakfast will cost you about 60 thousand rubles for two. Quite adequate cost, right?

Cultural Italy

Why are beach holidays in Italy so popular? The answer is trivial - high development of resorts, a dizzying atmosphere and a harmonious combination of active and passive recreation. Want to get to know this country better? Read my article. In it I have collected a lot of useful information.

It's time to move on to the main advantages of the country:

• Huge cultural heritage. After enjoying the clean sandy beaches and warm Mediterranean Sea, sights that you will not find anywhere else await you.
• The possibility of a wonderful holiday both with children and for young people.
• Unique cuisine as well as winemaking.
• Many thermal springs. SPA centers in Italy offer many beneficial treatments based on ancient medical practices.

This country attracts tourists from different parts of the world. And this is not surprising, because she is really beautiful. However, those who have not been here yet should be aware of some negative points. For example, in summer, kilometers-long queues line up to the main attractions of the country. Therefore, if you want to visit famous places, you should be patient. Also in large Italian cities there is a fairly high level of street crime. Be careful! Do not carry your phone and money in your pocket. Especially if it has no lightning.

Advice: coming to Italy, you may encounter a language barrier. A small percentage of the population speaks English. Therefore, I recommend having a phrasebook.

To visit the country, you need to apply for it at the Italian Visa Application Centers in Russian cities.

Beach holidays in Italy are considered one of the best in Europe. Popular resorts are Rimni, Emilia Romana, the Tuscan Riviera, the Ligurian coast, the islands of Sicily, Sardinia and Capri.

Now let's move on to prices for weekly packages in 3-star hotels. Italy is not the cheapest country, but with a strong desire, you can relax here relatively inexpensively. For example, the minimum price for a tour in Lido di Jesolo, which I found, is 80 thousand rubles. The amount is tidy, but quite adequate for Italy. The only negative is the long transfer from Rimini. But a flight through Venice increases the cost of the tour by 30%. Do you want to personally select a hotel and see the cost of living with the flight? Just look at the website of the operator Biblio Globus, they have many options. In any case, it is easy to see the order of prices of the resort of the country you need.

A few final words

This time the article turned out to be voluminous. I didn’t expect it myself, but as I read it from beginning to end, I realized that it wouldn’t have been any other way. A lot of things didn't even fit! Do you have any suggestions what kind of information you would like to see in this type of articles? Write your options in the comments.

Attention! I would like to note that when considering the prices for vacations, I took into account only the most budgetary tours for the given parameters, with breakfast meals, with the exception of Turkey. I did not focus on the peculiarities of the location and availability of additional services of hotels, since each country has its own nuances, and each tourist has his own preferences, and it is impossible to take them all into account in this article. I have given the cost only so that you can roughly imagine the order of prices for tours to these countries in 2017.

Dear friends! I invite you to support my "Readers' Travels" column. Write a story, review or review, be sure to publish it. How to do it? Read on.

Leave comments, subscribe to blog updates and share the article on social networks. I am always glad to new readers. More useful information is coming soon.

On this I say goodbye for a while. Until next time!

Inexpensive vacations have always been the most common among tourists. On such budget travel abroad, you can visit many countries without worrying that the prices for tickets and accommodation abroad will be too high.

Far countries are attractive to Russian tourists.

After all, abroad offers:

• excellent service;
• acquaintance with the rest of the world;
• separation from routine;
• profitable acquisitions.

Before starting a trip, everyone should determine for themselves its main purpose. The direction is chosen, starting from this. Egypt and Turkey with their convenient "All inclusive" system have long been considered the most budgetary ones. Bulgaria, soft in terms of climate, is attractive for its low prices.

But besides this, you can have a good and inexpensive vacation in:

• Poland;
• Romania;
• Montenegro;
• Croatia.

In these countries not quite far from Russia with excellent and distinctive cuisine, beach holidays can be easily diluted with visits to numerous natural and architectural attractions.

The most affordable European countries are:

• Spain;
• Italy;
• Greece.

In these places, it is better to rest away from the resort area and in the off-season. And if you rent a separate apartment instead of a hotel room, you will get almost free of charge. Although not very popular hotels also offer quite reasonable prices for accommodation on their territory.

A well-chosen holiday season can also make it budget-friendly. So, it is better to go to Turkey at the end of May or in the second half of September. In Europe, the highest prices are observed on the January holidays and in the summer.

Holidays in foreign countries can be made inexpensive if you book a hotel abroad without meals. Local restaurants and cafes are famous for their quite budget cuisine. Such establishments are usually located a few blocks from the resort center.

And it is best to independently prepare food, purchasing everything for this in grocery stores and in markets, if the stay is not planned in a hotel. As a guide for excursions, you can choose not a hotel worker, but a local resident offering his services right on the beach.

It is better to buy passes for public transport or use a hitchhiking instead. This type of travel is not only cheap, but also safe. Experienced tourists are also advised to settle in budget houses or hostels rented from the local population to save money.

Budget holidays abroad can be spent in comfort and sightseeing. You can stay at the hostel.

• The first is planning at work. Here unexpected problems may arise, due to the illness of this or that colleague. And, unfortunately, you will be asked to replace it.
• Secondly, a vacation with an outbound vacation, even abroad, even to the south of Russia, is accompanied by financial costs. And sometimes, not small. Just the same, a lot depends on these financial capabilities - whether you are going to stay in a 3, 4 or 5-star hotel, how many people will go on vacation with you, a country with high economic indicators and, accordingly, with not cheap tourist services.

Where to go on vacation in the summer of 2019 by the sea inexpensively and safely abroad?

The cheapest vacation abroad is interpreted in two ways: you can get "screwed up", since everything that is free is in a mousetrap, and if you take this issue more seriously, you will have to abandon the services of travel agencies and do everything yourself.

We have selected several directions for you: Europe and Asia. The calculation is based on a seven-day vacation for two in inexpensive but comfortable hotels with a moderate appetite, without air tickets. The price does not include expenses for various "Wishlist" types: sightseeing tours, "shopping" and entertainment.

If you have not decided where to go for a vacation in the summer of 2019 at sea inexpensively and safely in Europe, then look at these countries:

• Bulgaria

  It will not be possible to get here with a Schengen visa, since the country is not included in this zone. But if you are lucky enough to visit Cyprus, Romania or Croatia, then these visas are valid, otherwise you need to purchase. All-inclusive price - from 28,000 rubles for a week's vacation at the sea for two. Budget resorts and beaches - Ahtopol, Riviera, Sveti Constantine and Elena, Sozopol. Well-known, but more expensive - Golden Sands, Albena, Sunny Beach.
  

• Montenegro

  If your vacation takes no more than 30 days, then you don't need a visa at all. How much does it cost to soak up the sea in Montenegro in the summer for a week for two - from 32,000 rubles. The most budgetary beach resort is Petrovac. Next, in our opinion, is Podgorica and beyond: the resorts of the Bay of Kotor - Perast, Risan, Koshtanitsa, Tivat, Herceg Novi, the resorts of the Adriatic coast - Budva, Becici, Rafailovici, Sveti Stefan, Bar.
  

• Turkey

  This is where to go for a vacation in the summer of 2019 by the sea inexpensively and safely - this is Turkish Antalya. Visa-free country, but only for 60 days. All hotels have an "All Inclusive" system (all inclusive) - prices from 26,000 rubles. The exchange rate of the Turkish lira has really fallen, and therefore it is several times cheaper than in other countries. Take a look:
  

• Greece

  By the time you are reading this article, the visa to Greece may already be canceled. If not, then the Schengen visa is in your hands. An inexpensive vacation at sea in the summer of 2019 for two in 7 days will cost you from 33 thousand Russian rubles. We advise you to go to rest on the island of Crete. And also the island of Rhodes, the resort of Kallithea, the islands of Kos and Corfa, the Halkidiki peninsula, the city of Thessaloniki.
  

• Cyprus

  Awesome beaches and natural paradises. We'll have to apply for a visa. The cost of staying on a white sandy beach in Cyprus is from 38,000 rubles. The most budgetary resort is Larnaca, Limassol has the most vacationers, the new one is Ayia Napa.
  

• Italy

  Another European country with a safe holiday, but not cheap. For two - from 40 thousand. One of the most popular is Rimini, then Amalfi and Milano Mirittima, San Remo and Lido de Isolo. In Italy, security is at the highest level - carabinieri walk the streets everywhere.
  

Europe is by far the most popular holiday destination among Russians. Since it is nearby, the tickets for the flight are not high, the beaches and resorts are all well-known. The only thing that scares off tourists and travelers is the conflict situation in political life. Because of which everyone suffers: both locals and guests.

Where to go for a vacation in the summer of 2019 by the sea inexpensively and safely in Asia?

If European countries attract our fellow countrymen by their close location and "well-traveled paths", then the Asian continent is still a novelty for us, at least there is where to go to have a peaceful and quiet rest.

There is another problem - rainy weather prevails in Asia in summer. Therefore, our tourists are afraid that they will not be able to rest with dignity. But I assure you that if it does rain, it will not interfere with a pleasant pastime, since it will both start and end - quickly and not noticeably. Just the opinion that it rains in Asia in summer is filled with stories of travelers and ignorant tour operators.

Well, let them think that there is bad weather. This means that there will be much less people, respectively, prices for accommodation, food and entertainment will fall. In Asia, there is already cheap food and inexpensive housing. But the flight - not everyone can afford air tickets. Such a high cost is due to the distance.

Even with a not very good forecast, the safest and most inexpensive place to go for a vacation in the summer of 2018 at the sea is Thailand, the coast of the Gulf of Thailand, the resorts of Pattaya and Samui.

And now we present to your attention where you can relax in the summer at sea, in the South Asian direction:

• Thailand. Pattaya

  For a week of rest together, you will have to fork out from 18,000 rubles. You see - the prices are quite ridiculous, but the round trip plane tickets are from 46,000 of the Bank of Russia. In addition to Pattaya, you can visit Bangkok, Phuket, Siam. By the way, for children, if you are going on vacation with children, they take trips to the Thai Disneyland Dream World.
  

• Vietnam

  This country receives so many guests from Russia that it has become Russified. Prices, I can tell you, are more democratic than even in Thailand. For example, one day in a hotel costs $ 8. With not conservative estimates for two, you will spend from 9,000 rubles. Try it, find it cheaper somewhere else - hardly. Everyone who wants to visit Vietnam - for you resorts - Nha Trang, Da Nang, for diving - Con Dao Island.
  

• India. Goa

  Just choose directions to North Goa - it's cheaper here. From 16 thousand rubles you will have to pay for accommodation and food, well, and additional minor expenses. A visa is required.
  

• China. Hainan Island

  Like Hawaii, it's warm here all year round. Tourists have chosen this place relatively recently. On this island you can have a great summer vacation at the sea. Only now the prices start at 32,000 Russian rubles for two for a week, and to get there, it's better not to ask, you know, the distance is 40-100 thousand for one ticket.
  

Still, we would offer you such options where to go for a summer vacation at sea inexpensively and safely - Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia (and in particular the island of Bali) - but this will no longer be a budget option.

Where to go for a vacation in the summer of 2019 at sea inexpensively and safely in Russia?

Here we come with you and tourist destinations in Russia. Come on, friends, in order. You need to understand that prices rise here during the holiday season, and some of them at times.

And if you still decide and do not know where to relax with your child at sea in 2019, then we will walk through the Russian resorts and see:

• Anapa

  The largest in terms of the number of tourists. Here dozens and even thousands of people bask in the sun and swim in the sea. If you want privacy and not hear the din of a noisy crowd, then it is better to stay in the province of Anapa. For example, the village of Dzhemete, where a funky ten-kilometer beach with gentle sand, and if you are with children - a large water park. You can just as calmly relax in Vityazevo - there is a shallow sea. For the money: Cost of living
  
  

• Crimea

  In Crimea, you can sunbathe on the sand by the sea. There is little entertainment for children, and what is left of the Soviet Union. Today the Crimean Peninsula is part of Russia. Old resorts are only being built and improved. We would, to be honest, postpone the trip there. And the prices are much higher than in other summer vacation spots in Russia. Take a look:
  

• Gelendzhik

  And here the prices will immodestly "bite" you. But you can relax and have fun wonderfully. Europe's largest water park - kids will be delighted. But during the season, you can leave as much money as you would spend on a trip abroad, and not to the most budgetary country.

• Lazarevskoe

  Calm, safe and inexpensive town. The beaches are rocky and pebble. But there are 2 water parks, in case you don't want to go to the sea.
  

Where else can you go for a summer vacation at the sea 2019 inexpensively and safely?

There are also countries of the former "sovka" (the republics of the USSR), where our parents still spent their vacations inexpensively and safely:

Where not to go for a vacation in the summer of 2019?

A very precarious situation in many European countries - the problem with refugees has not yet been resolved. Here and there there are massive unrest - we would have secured ourselves and did not go to France, Israel.

In African countries - Tunisia and Morocco, where our fellow tribesmen often traveled - we would also refuse. Although the choice is yours. Just first familiarize yourself with the situation in this or that country.

The countries of the Arab continent can be dangerous for recreation. And Egypt with its unstable political environment. Now every month the issue of admission and permission for a trip to Egypt for Russians is being decided. Let's hope that such a popular and exotic country will be included in the list of safe and inexpensive countries.

PS: The choice of vacation in the summer of 2019 by the sea is yours - decide for yourself where to go to relax in the summer at sea inexpensively and safely. It so happens that having arrived at the Black Sea in the hope of the sun, clouds appear and rain falls. And having arrived in Thailand, taking the wet weather with you, the next day and for the rest of the rest, excellent sunny weather will be established. All in your hands…
