Where and at what time to relax: cheap destinations. Where and at what time to relax: cheap destinations Worthy end of the year: holidays in November and December

It doesn't matter what time of year you have your vacation. There are enough places on our planet to choose the right resort for you and for this particular season. The main thing is to decide how you imagine your vacation: stormy and cheerful, calm and respectable, cognitive or active.

Sports fans probably know better than all tour operators where and when they can find the best ski slopes, the right wind for surfing or the most beautiful underwater world... And where should Russian tourists go on vacation, who systematically explore more and more new horizons in search of unforgettable experiences? And how to spend a vacation without disappointment, without spoiling your mood with rain, cool sea or sweltering heat? Everything has its place and time!

Where to find the sun in January and February?

At the beginning of the year, a hot vacation is guaranteed on the islands of the Caribbean, among which the most popular for Russian tourists are Cuba and the Dominican Republic. They attract our compatriots with a visa-free entry regime, relatively inexpensive accommodation prices, a fun, relaxed atmosphere, loved by the all-inclusive system.

However, other islands are also in demand: Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Jamaica, Cayman and Bermuda and many others. Each of the islands is distinguished by its unique landscape, luxurious hotels and offers a variety of entertainment for every taste.

Warm currents and sunny weather will delight tourists in Florida.

In January-February, the dry (without heavy prolonged rains) season in Southeast Asia is quite suitable for a pleasant holiday. Discover the original world of Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia.

The height of winter is the time to go to Thailand, India or Cambodia. The monsoon season is over, the sun and exotic countries with a rich culture will captivate lovers of outdoor activities and beach holidays.

Turn your gaze to the southern hemisphere. When we have winter, summer reigns there. Therefore, in winter you will have a great rest in Australia, Chile, in the south of Brazil and in the north of Argentina.

Not the best choice
In winter, you should refrain from traveling to the north of China. You will not find worthy ski resorts there, and a notable frost is guaranteed. The southern coast of the Mediterranean (Algeria, Morocco) at this time will surely seem too gray and bleak to you. It can be quite chilly in the UAE for swimming. And in Egypt it is quite windy, especially in the evenings. But the prices are an order of magnitude lower, so draw your own conclusions.

Tours or the beach? Rest in March-April

At the beginning of spring in Europe it is still quite cool. But for those who are less interested in the sea and the beach than cultural treasures, this is the perfect time for tours of European cities. During this period, prices are affordable, there are no long queues at museums, and you can enjoy walking along the quiet streets of the Czech Republic, Italy, France, Hungary...

If you have already missed the heat unbearably over the long winter and dream of the sea, go to the beaches of your almost native Egypt, as well as Thailand, Goa or Sri Lanka.

You are also waiting for a paradise vacation in the Maldives and the Philippines. Idyllic nature, diving and amazing tranquility will not leave you indifferent.

Holidays on Hainan Island will delight you with decent service, beautiful beaches and warm sea.

In March, you can enjoy a relatively inexpensive beach holiday in Tunisia, combining it with an excursion to the desert. However, do not forget about a windbreaker and a sweater, it is still cool there in the evenings.

Looking for adventure? South America is ready to offer you an unforgettable vacation in the countries of the Inca Empire of Peru and Bolivia.

During these months, tourists will be especially hospitably greeted by the cheerful Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

Caribbean islands are still waiting for their tourists. Pay special attention to Antillo. The south of Australia and Chile also remains a very attractive place for a beach holiday.

Not the best choice
Reunion Island, Papua New Guinea at this time of the year will not please the weather. Disappointing inhospitable climate and the Atlantic coast (Spain, Morocco).

Thirst for the sun before summer: holidays in May and June

The end of spring and the beginning of summer are quite a good time for a vacation. The choice of beach destinations is quite large, but the prices are still low. And there is no mass influx of tourists. In addition, it will be a good opportunity for trips on excursions, since it is not too hot yet.

In May-June, the Mediterranean islands are perfect for relaxing: Greek Crete and Corfu, Italian Ischia and Sicily, the island of Cyprus. Good weather on the Thai island of Koh Samui.

Nice prices in May for a beach holiday in Spain. In addition, this is a great opportunity to visit Barcelona that is not overcrowded with tourists.

An excellent choice would also be the Canary Islands, Jordan and Israel with many attractions and shrines, Morocco.

A trip to Malta in June will give you the pleasure of nature, which at this time blooms with all its colors, and the opportunity to attend local holidays that are frequent for this time.

Exotic lovers can indulge themselves with a holiday in the Seychelles, Bali or Japan.

In June it will be quite comfortable on the Adriatic coast of Croatia or Montenegro. If the main purpose of the trip for you is the sea, then you should not go there earlier.

From June the resorts of Italy and Bulgaria will also be ready for the beach season.

Do not forget about the most popular resorts among Russian tourists in Turkey and Egypt.

Not the best choice
In Thailand, India, Kenya, Cambodia and Oman, the rainy season begins. Uncomfortable weather for recreation is also in West Africa (Mali, Burkina Faso) and the Philippines.

Midsummer and holiday season: July and August

It is not for nothing that July and August are considered the “high” season in almost all beach areas. This means that at this time the greatest demand for tours and, accordingly, the highest prices. All cities and resorts in Europe are at your service. At this time, various festivals, colorful shows and holidays are often held here.

Well in July-August in Croatia and Montenegro, Bulgaria, Greece, especially on the islands, as well as in Cyprus and Malta.

It's time to go to the islands of the Atlantic coast: Madeira, Cape Verde or the Canary Islands.

From exotic destinations with comfortable weather, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia (in August there is a minimum amount of precipitation), Vietnam, Bahamas, Fiji are suitable.

Anyone interested in safari will be interested in getting to Tanzania at this time, where the “dry” season begins.

Not the best choice
The popular resorts of Egypt, Turkey and Tunisia will meet with sweltering heat and crowded beaches. And prices will remain high. In July-August, the weather is not always good: rains can interfere with holidays in Thailand, New Zealand, Peru, India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka.

Velvet season: September and October

Summer is over, but it's not too late to enjoy the sunny weather and the warm sea. The wave of tourists subsided, the intense heat subsided, it's time to spend the velvet season by the sea. The temperature of the Mediterranean Sea is quite suitable for swimming.

Holidays in Greece (best in Crete, as it can be windy on small islands), Italy, Cyprus, as well as in North Africa (Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt) are especially pleasant at this time of the year.

It is better to go to Turkey in September, but October, despite the low prices, can be frustrating with rainy weather.

One of the best places during these months is the United Arab Emirates. October in the UAE is considered the high season. However, keep in mind that most of the month falls on Ramadan, when there are strict restrictions on any entertainment and alcoholic drinks.

Do you want to combine a beach holiday and a rich excursion program? Choose Israel (in particular Eilat) or Jordan. In addition, you can heal and spend unforgettable days at the Dead Sea.

September and October are great for sightseeing trips around Europe.

The beginning of autumn is a great time to visit the islands of Madagascar and Reunion, Lebanon, or Oman.

Not the best choice
It is better not to go to Spain, especially southern Spain, from mid-autumn. Cold currents and the beginning of the rainy season can ruin your mood. If you are not a fan of extreme weather, including storms, strong winds and heavy rains, then you should not relax in the Caribbean and the countries of Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos ...) in September-October.

Worthy completion of the year: rest in November and December

If you want a Christmas fairy tale, go to one of the cities in Europe. Elegant streets, numerous fairs, festivals and shows, moderate frost, cozy hotels and decent service will create a pleasant mood during the holidays.

You will get children's delight from the New Year or Christmas holidays in Finland, making a trip to the village of Santa Claus, riding a reindeer sleigh and feeling all the delights of a frosty winter: skis, skates, snowmobiles ... And then, of course, a hot sauna. Holidays are also fun on ferries plying between northern countries (Finland, Sweden, Denmark).

In search of the summer sun, you can go to cheerful noisy Brazil, carefree Cuba or respectable Dominican Republic.

A relaxing holiday in a pleasant exotic atmosphere will give you the Maldives.

History buffs can take a trip to Mexico in the footsteps of the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations.

The end of the year is the beginning of the tourist season in Southeast Asia. Great time to visit Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos.

The rainy season is coming to an end in India. The beaches of Goa will welcome you with warm dry weather, beautiful hotels and vibrant life.

For those who are not afraid of long flights and are eager for new experiences, this time is ideal for relaxing in southern Australia, where spring reigns.

Egypt has become almost a classic holiday option at the end and beginning of the year. Despite the cool and windy evenings, during the day it is quite possible to sunbathe and swim in the beautiful Red Sea.

Not the best choice
It is unlikely that you will get the maximum pleasure from Europe during these months. Dullness and cold will not give you a complete picture of beautiful cities. Vietnam, despite the warm weather, can disappoint with the restless ocean. The water temperature in the UAE is also not very pleasant for swimming.

Svetlana Apreleva

Many people love traveling, but consider such leisure as an inaccessible luxury. Victoria Days has prepared material about countries and cities where you can have a good rest and not spend fabulous money.

This article is intended for persons over 18 years of age.

Are you over 18 already?

There are so many interesting places in the world, and there is a desire to visit different parts of the globe. I want to go to Bali, Argentina, America, New Zealand and many more places, but most often after looking at ticket / hotel prices or the cost of a package tour, the tour operator loses the desire. I can say with confidence that it is possible to relax inexpensively, you just need to know where and at what time it is best to go on a trip.

What is the cost of travel?

1. Road: airline tickets, train tickets, bus tickets, personal transport.
2. Accommodation. There are many options where you can live or just spend the night - villas, apartments, hotels, hostels, guesthouses. The price depends on your choice.
3. Costs for nutrition. You can, of course, go to restaurants every day, but we want to save money, so we need to try to find the best price-quality ratio. You can cook on your own, but this is not the best option: it is still a vacation, and it is unlikely that pleasant memories will remain from it if you spend whole days at the stove.
4. Excursions. You can go on an excursion on your own, with a guide or not go at all.
5. Insurance. There is no need to save here. Always buy insurance, at least the minimum.
6. Souvenirs.

Asian countries

India

It is the leader among Asian countries. For a budget trip, it is best to choose the state of Goa. The "dry season" starts from November and lasts until April. In the north of Goa, you can find good and inexpensive accommodation.

Advice! When booking your stay, always pay attention to the presence / absence of air conditioning. Food in the state is cheap, seafood, exotic fruits, Indian sweets are always fresh and inexpensive. There are many cafes / bars on the beaches, where a fresh tasty dish will be prepared for a penny. It is definitely not worth wasting time and effort on cooking. It is best to go on excursions on your own: the standard of living in the country is low, so any tourist can afford to travel by train in comfortable conditions.

Thailand

Our tourists like to have a rest in this country very much. If you book your tickets in advance, you can save a lot. For example, a flight from Moscow to Bangkok is long, so you need to understand that you can’t buy a ticket for nothing. But the accommodations are cheap, and the choice is large. Do not be afraid of 2 * or 3 * hotels. This is the best category of hotels for holidays in Thailand. Most often these are small hotels with o medium sized rooms and minimal furniture. Most hotels have a pool.

Advice! The country is exotic, the fauna is diverse, and if you are not particularly fond of lizards and other inhabitants of exotic countries, when you check in, ask to settle you above the 1st floor. Meals will cost you inexpensively, you can eat seafood and fruits all your vacation or buy ready-made meals in supermarkets.

Vietnam

Shares leadership with Thailand. The most expensive thing in traveling is air travel, everything else is hotels, meals and excursions. - very budget friendly. If you choose the resorts of Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, then I advise you to mentally prepare for a long transfer from the airport to the resort, and if you are organizing a trip yourself, then it is better to take care of the transfer in advance, since prices at the airport are high.

Bali

Untouched nature, cheap housing, an abundance of fruits attract tourists from all over the world. Dreaming of surfing? You are definitely in Bali.

An incredible number of surf schools are concentrated here. Bali is interesting in that each resort is unique in its own way, you can move from one resort to another every two days. Air travel is expensive, but you can buy tickets with transfers, for example, in Singapore, and thus not only save money, but also visit two completely different places in one vacation.

Cambodia

If you enter in the search engines "the cheapest country to vacation", then one of the first answers will be Cambodia. This direction is becoming more and more popular every year. Everything in the country is indecently cheap, but air travel is expensive, and it is extremely difficult to get cheap air tickets. If you decide to choose a holiday destination in Cambodia, be sure to visit the temple of Angkor Wat.

Uzbekistan

I sincerely recommend visiting this country. Do not be surprised and do not discard this option. I agree that some people love constancy and vacation in the same place year after year. But is it not interesting to see other cities and countries? It is worth going to Uzbekistan if you are interested in excursion programs and you have five days of additional vacation or days off. To come to this country for a longer period, in my opinion, does not make sense.

Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva - these cities are definitely worth a visit. Mosques, mausoleums, palaces and, Certainly the bazaars are worthy of the attention of tourists.

Europe

Bulgaria

Bulgaria is considered the most budgetary beach destination. This is not surprising. Here it will be interesting for everyone: and youth, and families with children, and lovers of excursions, and for those who want to improve their health.

Prices are low, airfare from Moscow is inexpensive, accommodation too. Many accommodations operate on all inclusive, but you can book a hotel without power - places where you can taste and cheap food, lots of it. The climate is mild and familiar to most residents of Russia, respectively, acclimatization is most likely not will. Flight around 3 hours. Season in Bulgaria short, with June to September. Many tourists after their holidays buy property in Bulgaria (it is inexpensive here, by the way).

Greece

Another beach destination is Greece. You can write about Greece for a long time, it is an amazing country with incredibly hospitable locals. More than 3000 islands, of which 178 are inhabited. Greece is washed by the Mediterranean, Ionian, Aegean, Adriatic, Cretan, Libyan, Thracian seas. Is it worth writing that absolutely everyone can find a place to their liking?

Flying to Greece is not long, there are many airlines, so ticket prices are low. And in Greece itself, prices are moderate, and products are “from their own garden”. Of course, there are expensive islands, such as Kefalonia, and there are also cheap ones, such as Crete.

Advice! It is better to choose a restaurant / cafe away from the city center and without perfectly white tablecloths, according to the principle “the simpler, the tastier”. Portions in restaurants are huge, a lot of money will not be spent on food. The "high season" in Greece is from the end of May to mid-October, although on some islands, for example, Thassos, it will be comfortable at the end of October.

Montenegro

Montenegro is a country where Russian citizens can travel without a visa. Unfortunately, planes do not fly often, so you won't be able to find budget tickets. But the country itself is inexpensive, you can rent a house away from the sea quite inexpensively. Food prices are quite reasonable.

Czech

Now not about sea, but no less attractive countries. I'll start with the Czech Republic.

One of the cheapest countries in Europe. You can come to the Czech Republic at any time of the year. In summer, the weather is not hot, while in winter the whole country is immersed in Christmas beauty. The farther from the center, the cheaper accommodation, in addition, you can stay in a hostel. The price per night per person is about 10 euros, so be prepared for several other people to share the room with you. You can fly to the Czech Republic just for the weekend, drink delicious beer and try pork knuckle or feel the atmospheric architecture. Many come to the country for treatment, for example, to Karlovy Vary. Compared to the rest of Europe, prices are nicer, but far from low.

Poland

In Poland, you can come to rest all year round. Residents of the western part of Russia love this country very much, because you can get there by car. Food and restaurant prices are low by European standards. Many people come to Warsaw for shopping, other - to buy "sanctioned cheese", others - just take a walk, and some ski here in the winter to budget ski resorts. In almost every city you can see medieval castles. For those who want to have a cheap vacation in Europe, I would recommend starting with Poland.

Hungary

Hungary for some reason does not occupy a leading position in the list of mass tourist destinations. In my opinion, in vain. The country is very interesting and inexpensive.

Vajdahunyad Castleis not the only architectural landmark of the country, there is something to see in Hungary. Lakes and parks will also surprise even sophisticated tourists with their variety. Thermal springs or "thermal sea" - that's why tourists come to Hungary in the first place.

Advice! Be sure to visit the Lukács thermal bath, which has not yet become a place of mass tourism. Here you can relax and enjoy the tranquility. You should not leave the country without trying Hungarian goulash. Prices in restaurants and shops will pleasantly surprise you. There are many accommodation facilities, and everyone can choose what they like and can afford.

Armenia

A country with stunning nature, culture, cuisine and delicious wine. Add a cheap flight, low housing and food prices, and we get a country where you can safely go on vacation. You can plan a vacation at any time of the year: winter is for lovers of skiing and snowboarding, and in summer Lake Sevan awaits tourists. It will be interesting to visit various shrines, for example, Tatev. You should definitely try the delicious local cuisine, the prices are very affordable. And as a souvenir, you can bring the famous ARARAT cognac.

When is the best time to plan a trip to the above countries? If you are planning a trip to seasonal countries, then it is best to choose the very beginning of the season or the end, when mass tourism is just gaining momentum. Read more about this in the article "". If high humidity does not scare you, then you can go to Asian countries out of season. As for European cities, it is best to focus on ticket prices here, since you can relax in them all year round.

1. If you go on a trip at the very beginning or at the end of the season, you can save a lot.

2. If you book a tour with a tour operator, do not be lazy and check the cost of the tour with all tour operators. You can use search engines, for example, RUSPO, but they do not always display information correctly.

3. Prices skyrocket during school holidays and holidays, do not plan your vacation during this period.

4. A good time to travel is the end of November-mid-December and second half of January. Air carriers and hoteliers discount prices before and after the New Year holidays.

5. If possible, do not get attached to the dates, sometimes a couple of days earlier / later than the desired date, air tickets are cheaper.

6. Don't be afraid of connecting flights.

7. When booking air tickets on your own, do not be lazy and search every day, compare ticket prices on different services. On a personal example, I can say: who seeks, he will find. I booked tickets for my friends to the Maldives with a connection in the UAE and Sri Lanka for only 22,000 rubles per person, and they flew with the airline Emirates. So, if you have the desire and patience, you can also relax in expensive countries on a budget.

8. Browse various search resources, for example, 100500miles . If there is no attachment to dates and directions, you can easily catch a burning tour.

9. The same principle applies to the choice of accommodation: compare prices and track interesting offers.

10. For adventurous and relocating tourists: use the night to move from one place to another, so you can save on hotel nights.

11. You can go on excursions on your own, how to get there can be found on the Internet.

12. Restaurants and cafes are better to choose those where the locals eat. It is also an indicator of the quality of food.

When saving on travel, be prepared for possible (I emphasize, possible) inconveniences. Your attitude is important, and you can ignore small inconveniences. Be positive about everything, and then any trip, no matter how much money you paid, will bring you pleasure!

Today we will talk about where to go to relax at sea in summer, autumn and spring. After all, there are a huge number of beautiful and colorful places to stay, but at the same time, each country has its own season for an active beach holiday.

For a summer vacation, Crimea and Bulgaria are excellent options. The climate in these resorts is temperate, as a result of which in the summer you will not be tormented by intense heat. The maximum air temperature will reach 45 degrees, although this value is also not small. The warm sea and sandy beaches will give you a lot of pleasure, which will be complemented by a huge amount of entertainment. These resorts are suitable for a measured family holiday with children, as well as for outdoor enthusiasts. Particular attention should be paid to the Crimea, because it is a globe in miniature. Here you will find a huge number of attractions, beautiful natural landscapes, ancient architecture and much more. By the way, Crimea is a children's health resort, which in turn is interesting for families with children.

In autumn, you can go to Cyprus or Israel, which will please you with warm weather. At this time, the rainy season begins in our country, and, accordingly, dampness, slush, mud ... In Cyprus and Israel you will not see rain, well, if only short-term and warm, but you can enjoy plenty of sunshine and warm waters of the Mediterranean and Dead Seas. By the way, as for Israel, when you go there, you should definitely visit the Jordan River, though it is worth noting that the water in it is always cold, so get ready to freeze a little while you are on the tour.

In spring, Turkey and Egypt are the ideal place to relax, which will delight you with the warm spring sun, warming like summer. In Turkey, you should definitely visit rafting - this is a descent along a mountain river, which you will remember for a lifetime, adrenaline will be through the roof. Also visit the world-famous Cleopatra pools - Pamukkale. These are natural springs that overthrow warm water. In addition to the relaxing effect, you will also get a health-improving one, as these sources are full of vitamins and microelements that have a beneficial effect on the entire body as a whole.
