Where to relax in the summer abroad. Summer holidays at sea in Russia Where is the best place to relax in the summer

That wonderful moment is just around the corner when the holidays begin, and despite the fact that there are still more than 5 months before the start of the holiday season, many are already thinking about where to go on an inexpensive holiday at sea in the summer of 2018 with their family, children or friends. This is correct, because you need to plan your vacation in advance, buy tourist vouchers to the sea, and collect beach accessories, because when that very day comes, you must remember that you are not the only ones who want to leave their cities with hot asphalt, polluted air and go at sea, and it is quite possible that you simply won’t have time to purchase these same vouchers.

It's no secret that this year the sale of tours to Egypt and Turkey is prohibited (in July 2016, the ban on the sale of tours was lifted), accordingly, holidays in such beloved countries are possible, but problematic, and in this regard, Vacationers have questions about where to go instead of Turkey and Egypt? Let's try to look for alternative options for spending holidays, and not wait until Egypt is opened to tourists.

For you, we have prepared an article where you can book a hotel at attractive prices!

Where can you relax inexpensively at sea in the summer of 2018?

Cyprus

Perhaps this summer, this country will be overwhelmed by the influx of those tourists who preferred to vacation in Turkey. A relatively inexpensive holiday in this country can become significantly more expensive, because the residents of Cyprus are unlikely to miss the opportunity to make money from such an influx of tourists, not only from Russia, but also from the UK.

It should be noted that Cyprus is located in the Mediterranean Sea, the beach season lasts from early May to November. Ideal for a family holiday with small children, because all the resorts in this republic are environmentally friendly with developed infrastructure. Here you can find almost all types of entertainment, from water parks, dolphinariums to golf courses.

Among the resorts there are 4 main ones:

  1. Limassol
  2. Pathos
  3. Larnaca
  4. Protaras

Average price 40,000 - 41,000 rubles*

Greece

More than a dozen of the most beautiful islands located on the Aegean coast are ready to welcome vacationers this year. On the islands you can see the ruins of the temple of Aphrodite, the temple of Hercules, and many other cultural and architectural monuments. To travel you will need to obtain a Schengen visa. The swimming season begins in early May; the hottest months are July and August. The key disadvantages include high prices.

Resorts:

  1. O. Crete - here you can choose from more than 140 hotels of varying levels of comfort
  2. O. Rhodes

Average price 38,000 - 39,000 rubles*

Bulgaria

If you are a supporter of a quiet, relaxing and quality holiday, then we advise you to go to this wonderful country. Unlike the cities of the Black Sea coast, where you will get a minimum of service for a lot of money, Bulgaria will provide a relatively inexpensive but high-quality service. Perfect for a family holiday with children. But for the trip, just like for Greece, you will need to obtain a Schengen visa. The beaches of the resorts are clean and sandy. A beach holiday involves a huge amount of entertainment that will appeal not only to children, but also to adults. Also, holidays in Bulgaria can be classified as one of the most budget-friendly beach holiday destinations in 2018. Before your trip, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the information you may need at sea.

Resorts:

  1. Varna. Golden Sands
  2. Elenite
  3. Pomorie
  4. Nessebar
  5. St. Constantine and Helena
  6. Burgas. sunny Beach

Average price 25,000 - 26,000 rubles*

Montenegro

A state with incredibly beautiful nature, washed by the Adriatic Sea. You will not need a visa to travel. The only negative is the high prices, both for the tours themselves and for small expenses during the holiday period. Considering that this year there will also be an increased influx of tourists due to the closure of Turkey and Egypt, prices may jump even higher! So, for example, a cup of coffee will cost you 3 euros, but at the current exchange rate, it will be 240 rubles.

Resorts:

  1. Kotor
  2. Herceg Novi
  3. Igalo
  4. Perast
  5. Budva
  6. Becici
  7. Petrovac
  8. Ulcinj

Average price 60,000 rub.*

Where to relax in the summer of 2018 in Russia by the sea, inexpensively

If you are not a supporter of foreign holidays, but prefer to spend your holidays at home, then the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory, and, more recently, the Republic of Crimea, are at your service.

One of the main advantages is the absence of a language barrier, the ability to get to the sea by car, bus or train.

Resorts:

  1. Anapa
  2. Gelendzhik
  3. Adler
  4. Arkhyz
  5. Mineral water

I think those who are accustomed to the high service of Turkey and Egypt will not rush to vacation in the resort towns of the Black Sea. Since, for minimal service in Sochi, you will have to pay money comparable to a 5* hotel in Turkey. If you are not particularly concerned about the level of service, but your priority is reasonable prices, a clear azure sea, mountains buried in clouds, then I advise you to go to Abkhazia.

Gelendzhik

The hottest month is considered to be July - August; it is at this time that the average air temperature warms up to 29.6°C, and the water temperature - 26°.

Did you know that city status was granted in 1915

This city has a huge number of sanatoriums, hotels, and guest houses. And the variety of entertainment will not let either adults or children get bored. The average price of a trip based on departure from Moscow for 2 adults (6 nights) is - 31 560 rub. But if you want to save money, or decide that guest houses are not for you, you can rent an apartment in Gelendzhik, for a very reasonable price. Only in this case, you will have to buy groceries and prepare food yourself, or visit cafes where you can eat very tasty and inexpensive food, for example, the “Dining No. 1” cafe.

Where to relax in Abkhazia in the summer of 2018

In one of the articles I wrote about our vacation in Abkhazia. Anyone who thinks that civilization has not reached this beautiful country is greatly mistaken. Yes, the service here is significantly inferior to that of Alanya and Hurghada, but the beautiful nature and clear sea and reasonable prices cover all the shortcomings. Moreover, the local population speaks Russian, the national currency is the ruble and no visa is required to enter the country. There is almost everything for a beach holiday. In addition, you can book excursions to the mountains, the so-called “Alpine meadows”, paraglid from one of the highest mountains in Abkhazia, Mamzyshkha, go fishing in the sea and much more. Perfect for family time with children.

Resorts:

  1. Gagra is the most popular and developed resort in Abkhazia
  2. Pitsunda - one of the main attractions is the relict pine reserve.
  3. If you are in Abkhazia, I advise you to visit this wonderful town.
  4. Gudauta
  5. Sukhum - the capital of Abkhazia
  6. Ochamchira

In addition to hotels, in the resort towns of Abkhazia, you can also rent housing in private sectors, depending on the level, prices in the private sector start from 250 rubles. per person. Holidays in this country can also be considered one of the most affordable ones today.

Average price 15,000 rubles.

But if you still dream of Turkey, then you can go on a trip to this hot country! To do this you will need:

  • Search and book flights
  • Finding and booking a hotel to stay
  • Search for transfer services
  • Purchasing insurance

*Prices for holidays (subject to early booking, departure from Moscow, all inclusive, 7 nights, per person, from 06/01/2018)

If your vacation falls at the end of summer, then do not despair, because we will tell you.

Holidays abroad have always been 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 look at the cheapest holidays abroad in 2018.

In this article we will try to provide you with a description of the most popular destinations among Russian tourists. Also, many may be interested in reading the information from the article: where to holiday abroad without a visa in 2018.

Most Popular Countries

In Turkey any Russian feels at home and therefore many residents of our country prefer to holiday 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, we must not forget about entertainment, of which there is simply a huge amount in Turkey, and therefore every day tourists will find a lot of nightclubs, discos, restaurants and bars.

Prices for holidays 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 dollars, to Istanbul - about 350 dollars, and to Kemer - 250 dollars. On average, a two-week tour for two can be purchased for $1000–1500, 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 complete holiday with an all-inclusive system, excellent climate, clean sea and numerous excursions.

Unfortunately today, Türkiye is closed to travel companies and many are tormented by the question of when Turkey will open. But you can go on vacation on your own.

Holidays in Egypt at sea is the most traditional among Russian residents, since this destination has long been “travelled” by Russian tourists. Here you can enjoy excellent hotel service, a warm climate, and a huge amount of entertainment for only $250 for 7-8 days of a great vacation.

Warm Red Sea, gentle sun, All inclusive and, of course, ancient pyramids- this is what numerous tourists come to this beautiful country every year for with its ancient history and unique cultural and architectural monuments: the Pyramids, the eternal Sphinx and Luxor, which tourists visit, all this is worth going to this country on vacation. But this direction is closed, although there is information that flights will soon resume.

And, of course, the logical question will be: what 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 at the beginning of winter. Therefore, if you want to purchase the cheapest tour, it is best to count on the month of April or May.

A package for a ten-day vacation will cost about $700–800. The cheapest seaside holiday in 2018 will indeed be in Thailand, since in almost any region of the country you can have a great holiday 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, subject to staying at a hotel in the center of Pattaya. But you can find a vacation 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 products, so you only need $100 a month for food. For 2 dollars you can have a great lunch in any cafe, and 6 dollars is enough for dinner in a good restaurant. And if you want to fill your suitcase with inexpensive things, then 100 dollars will be enough for you, without even haggling.

The cheapest holiday at sea

Vietnam– this is an incredibly beautiful place where you can find many corners of nature untouched by man. And even despite the growing popularity of this country, holidays in it remain still quite acceptable. So, for example, 10 dollars a day is enough for one person to stay in a hotel, meals, excursion programs and massage. And if you are willing to spend $20 a day, you won’t be able to deny yourself anything. Therefore, 400–500 dollars for an excellent 30-day vacation will be quite enough. But this does not include 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, because with 100 dollars in your pocket (6000 rupees) you can have a great holiday and not deny yourself anything, especially when it comes to North Goa.

The cost of a holiday in Goa for a European person is quite low, especially far from big cities and metropolises. The most expensive holiday in Goa is in 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 when prices drop starts from $400. But if you decide to go on your own and stay 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, since 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 Russians do not need visas or foreign passports to go on vacation to Abkhazia and the journey 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 day per person. If you want more comfortable apartments in the private sector, you will have to shell out 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 holiday in this country without travel will cost about 5,600 to 10,000 rubles per person.

Holidays in boarding houses and hotels in 2018 will cost much more. So, for example, a double room in a boarding house or sanatorium will cost from 1,600 to 8,000 rubles per day. Thus, if you are counting on an inexpensive holiday 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 holiday 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 accommodation for $100 a month and the same amount will cover food for 30 days. The only downside is that the flight is very expensive - about $1000!

Cambodia and Bali are not very well-known countries for tourist holidays, and therefore the logical question would be: Where are Bali and Cambodia?

And in Cambodia you can find a room for $1.50 a night, and when you buy delicious and cheap food, you will feel guilty for 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 dollars.

Exquisite holiday

Sri Lanka or Ceylon island Recently it has become very popular 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 engage in a wide variety of sports: diving, surfing, fishing, kiting, rafting, etc. But plane tickets here are not cheap, so it is best to purchase tickets for charter flights or flights with transfers. Thus, for a month's vacation you will need about 400–500 dollars.

Greece is a country of ancient gods, the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, 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 of Greece attract many tourists from Russia. And all of them are perfect for a family holiday. On average, a holiday in Greece will cost you $250–350 for 7 days. Currently, this country is one of the most inexpensive countries where a Schengen visa is required for those who want to fully enjoy a beach and seaside excursion holiday.

Cyprus It cannot be called very cheap for a holiday, but it is very popular among Russians. A ticket to Cyprus from Moscow will cost about $200 per person, but if you get a promotion from an 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 various promotions and discounts are available.

If you are choosing where to vacation, between the last two countries, we recommend reading the differences between them: What is better to choose - Greece or Cyprus, for example, for a beach holiday?

Europe is a holiday destination

Portugal is a member of the Eurozone and therefore cannot boast of the same low prices as Asian countries. But the holiday here is completely different. You need to go to this beautiful country, which is located in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, just to enjoy the taste of excellent seafood, Portuguese cherry liqueur - ginjinha, port wine, and also to visit all the architectural monuments of the Iberian culture of the country, one of which is the famous Belem Tower - fort on the Tijou River in the region of the same name in Lisbon.

Accommodation in Portugal in an inexpensive hostel in the province will cost from 18 to 33 dollars per day. A room in a three-star hotel will cost from 30 to 80 dollars per day. And accommodation in a boarding house in Lisbon ranges 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. You'll need about $50 per person per day, so the total cost of the trip will range from $600 to $1,000.

Summer is in full swing and it's time to think about a trip to the Cote d'Azur and the warm sea. If you do not intend to give up the pleasure of visiting foreign beach resorts, our article is just for you! After all, today we will try to find out where you can spend your summer vacation, how much this pleasure will cost in different parts of the world and what advantages this or that resort has.

Among tourists there are few who, given the opportunity, will refuse the pleasure of visiting magnificent Italy. After all, during such a trip you will not only be able to enjoy visiting the most striking European attractions, but also enjoy plenty of swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. We recommend considering the resort towns of Baria, Olbia, Cagliari and Rimini. You can get to them from any major city in Italy with which there is air communication from Russia (for example, a flight from Moscow to Rome, Milan or Venice will cost on average 14-15 thousand rubles), or by purposefully ordering a ticket for one from these unforgettable resorts (will be 3-4 thousand more expensive).

Let's take a holiday in Bari as an example. A ready-made tour with minimal additional costs will cost each tourist 38-40 thousand rubles. If you want to create your own unique route, you should take into account the existing prices for accommodation, food, and visa processing. So, a budget breakfast in a Bari restaurant will cost 3.2 dollars, and dinner will cost at least twice as much. The prices for hotel rooms, which start at $30 per night, are also not very conducive to such a trip.

You will have to think about registration and visa. But every tourist will be able to get the much-desired bronze tan and spend several days in an unforgettable atmosphere by the sea.

Another European air route, Russia-Spain, is also growing in popularity. This year, as before, the resorts of Barcelona, ​​Ibiza, Malaga, and Tenerife will remain the leaders of tourist holidays. You can get there for only 13-15 thousand rubles. Accommodation here is somewhat more affordable than on the Italian coast. So, the most budget option is a room in a hostel, one night in which will cost only 13 dollars. But hotel rooms under $40 are difficult to find.

There are similar requirements for a visa, which can be obtained for the same $38.

Well, if you are ready to spend a considerable part of your family budget on a vibrant vacation, we recommend paying attention to one of the most desirable islands on the planet - the Canary Islands. Be prepared for the fact that the round trip trip alone will cost 25 thousand rubles, although you can “grab” a very attractive tour for 15 thousand rubles.

But accommodation on the islands will please you with its affordable price offer. So, you can rent a hotel room overlooking the sea for only 25-30 dollars, and a budget breakfast at a hotel will cost an average of 2.5 dollars.

Holidays at the resorts of Montenegro, including Budva, Petrovac, and Sutomore, will become somewhat more expensive this year. Flights from Moscow have a relatively high cost (on average 15 thousand rubles). But accommodation here is very affordable - a standard room in a budget hotel will cost only $20. Food prices in restaurants cannot be considered affordable, as they are sometimes even higher than in resorts in Spain and Italy.

But there are a number of advantages that will allow you to save money. For example, you will not have to apply for a visa, provided that you plan to spend no more than 30 days in Montenegro.

The resorts of Greece look no less attractive this year. Tourists who prefer to relax on the coast of this country know some saving tricks. So, many of them cook at home, buying fresh fruits and vegetables at very affordable prices. If you don’t want to do kitchen chores, you can be served without any problems by the professional chefs of the local restaurants. A delicious lunch or breakfast will cost a tourist only 3-4 dollars. You can rent a room in a hostel for $15, and a night in a hotel will cost a little more – $19.

Unfortunately, many tourists from Russia are deterred from traveling to Greece by the need to obtain a visa. Although negotiations are underway between governments to liberalize the border crossing regime for Russians, at the moment consular services for obtaining a visa cost $38.

You can get from the Russian capital to the most popular Croatian resorts - Split and Dubrovnik - for only 15-16 thousand rubles (and this does not take into account the discounts that are systematically introduced with the onset of the holiday season). You can choose to book a hotel room (from $30 per night) or rent a bed in a hostel for just $11.

No more expensive than food at the already reviewed resorts. So, breakfast or lunch for a state employee will cost an average of 2-6 dollars. Similar expenses await tourists when applying for a permit visa (approximately $38).

Flights to Bulgarian resorts will be quite inexpensive (average price - 15 thousand rubles). In addition, tourists can enjoy affordable holidays in comfortable hotels with good service, which has remained here since the times of the Union. Most hotels have 3 stars, but easily surpass many European hotels in terms of service-price. So, a room will cost 15-25 dollars per night, and a stay at a hostel will cost only 10 “bucks”.

You will also be pleasantly surprised by the prices for food - budget options for lunch and breakfast will cost only 1.5-6 dollars per person. The only downside, perhaps, is the need to apply for a visa.

It is safe to say that Turkish resorts have always been of great interest to Russians. And although today it is almost impossible to fly to this country on a ticket, many Russians continue to make exciting trips, planning a vacation in Antalya on their own. Considering the decrease in passenger flow in this direction, you can buy a plane ticket to Turkey for only 10 - 14 thousand rubles! The easiest way to get there is through Istanbul, from where regular buses will take you to the treasured coast.

But accommodation prices are in no hurry to fall in price: a hotel room, as before, will cost $24 per night, and you can stay in a hostel for no more than 14 units of American currency. But you can save on food, because the average price for a set breakfast or lunch does not exceed 3-4 dollars. And the undeniable advantage of this tourist destination is the absence of the need for a visa.

The situation is similar with Egyptian resorts. Russians do not want to give up a comfortable holiday on the seashore, living in luxury hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada. Therefore, despite the closure of offers from travel agencies, numerous lines of Russians do not dry up. Planning your trip yourself is a great option for a summer vacation in Egypt. A flight to resorts from Moscow will cost from 20 thousand rubles. You will also have to get to the hotels on your own, which promises additional costs. But just a couple of years ago, a package trip with transfer to the hotel cost all of 5-6 thousand rubles!

Prices for hotel accommodation will also be average for this season. A room in a Hurghada hotel will cost tourists 20-22 dollars, and a night in a hostel will cost almost half as much. Food will also be inexpensive - a budget lunch will empty the wallets of vacationers by only 5-7 “bucks”.

Of course, at current prices, a flight to India cannot be called budget. The average cost of the road in both directions will be 24-25 thousand rubles. And this is provided that you fly with transfers to Delhi airport. Next, it’s worth spending a few more “bucks” on a trip to the coast. If you are planning to fly a direct flight to the resort, be prepared to overpay up to 40% of the mentioned amount for speed and comfort.

Do not forget about the offers of travel agencies. This year you can purchase an attractive tour with transfer to the hotel, meals and accommodation at very affordable prices. The focus is on the Indian resort of Goa.

If you are planning an independent trip to Goa, be prepared for the fact that the worries of finding a hotel, hostel, as well as food costs will fall entirely on your shoulders. At the same time, a budget breakfast will cost tourists only 1.5-2 dollars, but for a full dinner you will have to pay an average of 7 dollars.

“Oh summer, red summer, be with me,” sang the parrot Kesha from the cartoon of the same name. Yes, yes, dear readers, summer is very close - before you have time to blink an eye, the sun will begin to bake your heads and shoulders. If you have planned a vacation and are still wondering where to go on vacation at sea in the summer of 2019 inexpensively and safely? — We have selected for you the best safe and inexpensive popular places to relax this summer 2019.

If the budget allows, I would go to exotic countries and take my children with me - you can choose the optimal solution and a decent country abroad, where nothing would interfere with your beach holiday - a paradise for yourself, a paradise for your loved ones. But... Money sometimes plays an important role.

Then you better take a closer look at our Black Sea South. Remember what our parents used to say: let’s go south, to the Black Sea. And they were right - since there is nothing more healing than sea air. Far from the noise and bustle of the city, I wouldn’t mind relaxing, but what awaits us... And if you really “tighten up your belt,” then look around you.

To be honest, we wouldn’t have gone anywhere, but stayed in Russia. If only we could get out of the city, closer to the river, to nature, to mushrooms and berries - to the village or to the country. Here, in our opinion, is the safest and most inexpensive place to spend your vacation in the summer of 2019.

But this is only the practical side of the issue. Where to go on vacation in the summer depends on many factors, including your desire to visit a country you have never been to before. And some never went anywhere further than “their own nose.”

Here are just some of the factors that may affect your vacation this summer:

  • The first is planning at work. Unexpected problems may arise here due to the illness of one or another colleague. And you, unfortunately, will be asked to replace it.
  • Secondly, a vacation with an away holiday, whether abroad or to the south of Russia, is accompanied by financial costs. And sometimes, not small ones. Just the same, a lot depends on these financial capabilities - whether you will relax 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 an expensive tourist service.
  • Thirdly, the situation in the world. And it is far from comforting - unauthorized rallies, strikes and uprisings are breaking out here and there. And even worse, the military situation is developing and the atmosphere of rebellion is heating up. Safety when traveling away from home is paramount - who and where will go on vacation at sea in the summer of 2019? In addition, the embargo (seizure) imposed on our country has not yet been lifted in all countries. And this can provoke conflict situations.
  • Fourthly, in light of recent events, there seem to be no high-profile problems with travel agencies in the tourism market. But it’s still worth sticking to the golden mean and purchasing tours from trusted companies. And the best information about them as reliable service providers is the feedback from their friends and acquaintances who have already had the experience of going, relaxing and returning without any problems.

There is still something we can do to dissuade you from going on vacation abroad at sea in the summer of 2019, but we won’t do that. You will still do what you want. Remember only those rules that you need to follow before going on vacation abroad.

  • Choose the right reliable tour operator. If necessary, check it out - look at the reviews.
  • Find information on the Internet about the country where you are going to go on vacation. Learn at least basic phrases
  • Provide yourself with insurance. Although you should already have this insurance included in the cost of the tour.
  • Study and check the route. That is, know how to get to the hotel, where the nearest consulate is, the police and the place of first aid.

At the end of the article you can see what trusted and reliable sources we use:

  • Modern and relevant, proven search engines for package tours (“All inclusive”);
  • Tour operators of excursion tours around the world;
  • Travel insurance, which really works and, God forbid, provides enormous assistance in case of insured events;
  • Reservation and sale of tickets: railway, air and bus;
  • Rental of cars, scooters, motorcycles, bicycles and ATVs;
  • Incredible excursions from locals;
  • Search for recreation centers in Russia;
  • Quick online purchase of a visa with home delivery;
  • Rent cheap housing, including from the owners themselves.

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

The cheapest holiday abroad can be interpreted in two ways: you can get into trouble, since everything that is free is in a mousetrap, and if you approach this issue more seriously, you will have to refuse the services of travel agencies and do everything yourself.

We have selected several directions for you: Europe and Asia. The calculation takes into account 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 “wants” such as sightseeing tours, shopping and entertainment.

If you haven’t decided where to go on holiday at sea in the summer of 2019, inexpensively and safely, in Europe, then look at these countries:

  • Bulgaria

    You won’t be able 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 them. All-inclusive price – from 28,000 rubles for a week-long vacation at sea for two. Budget resorts and beaches – Ahtopol, Riviera, Sveti Konstantin and Elena, Sozopol. Among the famous, but more expensive, are Golden Sands, Albena, Sunny Beach.

  • Montenegro

    If your vacation lasts no more than 30 days, then you do not 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 budget beach resort is Petrovac. Next in our opinion is Podgorica and beyond: the resorts of the Bay of Kotor - Perast, Risan, Koshtanica, Tivat, Herceg Novi, the resorts of the Adriatic coast - Budva, Becici, Rafailovici, Sveti Stefan, Bar.

  • Türkiye

    Here's where to go on holiday at sea in the summer of 2019, inexpensively and safely - this is Turkish Antalya. Visa-free country, but only for 60 days. All hotels operate the “All Inclusive” system - prices start from 26,000 rubles. The exchange rate of the Turkish lira has really fallen, and therefore is several times cheaper than in other countries. Look:

  • Greece

    At the time you are reading this article, your visa to Greece may have already been cancelled. If not, then a Schengen visa is in your hands. An inexpensive holiday at sea in the summer of 2019 for two for 7 days will cost you from 33 thousand Russian rubles. We advise you to go on vacation to the island of Crete. As well as the island of Rhodes, the resort of Kallithea, the islands of Kos and Corfu, the Halkidiki peninsula, the city of Thessaloniki.

  • Cyprus

    Stunning beaches and natural paradises. You will have to apply for a visa. The cost of staying on a white sandy beach in Cyprus starts from 38,000 rubles. The most budget resort is Larnaca, Limassol has the most of our vacationers, and the newest one is Ayia Napa.

  • Italy

    Another European country with a safe holiday, but not cheap. For two – from 40 thousand. One of the popular ones 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 located nearby, flight tickets are not expensive, the beaches and resorts are all famous. The only thing that scares away tourists and travelers is the conflict situation in political life. Because of which everyone suffers: both local residents and guests.

Where to go on vacation at sea in the summer of 2019 inexpensively and safely in Asia?

If European countries attract our fellow countrymen with their close location and “well-trodden paths,” then the Asian continent is still new to us, at least there is somewhere to go to relax peacefully and quietly.

There is another problem - rainy weather prevails in Asia in the summer. Therefore, our tourists are afraid that they will not be able to have a decent rest. But I assure you that even if it rains, it will not be an obstacle to a pleasant pastime, since it will both begin and end – quickly and unnoticeably. It’s just that the idea that it rains in Asia in the summer has been spun out by stories from travelers and ignorant tour operators.

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

Even with a not very good forecast, the safest and most inexpensive place to go on vacation at sea in the summer of 2018 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 vacation for the two of you, you will have to fork out 18,000 rubles. You see, the prices are absolutely ridiculous, but round trip plane tickets start from 46,000 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 organize trips to the Thai Disneyland “Dream World”.

  • Vietnam

    This country receives so many guests from Russia that it has become Russified. The prices, I can tell you, are more affordable than even in Thailand. For example, one day in a hotel costs 8 bucks. Based on conservative estimates, for two you will spend from 9,000 rubles. Try to find it cheaper somewhere else - it’s unlikely. Anyone who wants to visit Vietnam - the resorts for you are Nha Trang, Da Nang, for diving - Con Dao Island.

  • India. Goa

    Just choose destinations in North Goa - it’s cheaper here. From 16 thousand rubles you will have to pay for accommodation and food, and additional minor expenses. Visa 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 sea. Only prices start at 32,000 Russian rubles for two people for a week, and to get there, it’s better not to ask, you understand, the distance is 40-100 thousand for one ticket.

We would also offer you such options where to go on 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 on vacation at sea in summer 2019 inexpensively and safely in Russia?

Here we come to tourist destinations in Russia. Let's, friends, in order. You need to understand that prices here rise during the holiday season, some of them significantly.

And if you still make up your mind and don’t know where to relax with your child at sea in 2019, then let’s go through Russian resorts and see:

  • Anapa

    The largest in terms of the number of tourists. Here dozens, if not 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 there is an amazing ten-kilometer beach with delicate sand, and if you are with children, there is a large water park. You can just as calmly relax in Vityazevo – there is a shallow sea. By money: Cost of living

  • Crimea

    In Crimea you can sunbathe on the sand by the sea. There is little entertainment for children, and what remains of the Soviet Union. Today the Crimean Peninsula is part of Russia. Old resorts are just being built and improved. We would, to be honest, hold off on going there. And the prices are much higher than in other summer holiday destinations in Russia. Look:

  • Gelendzhik

    And here the prices will immodestly “bite” you. But you will be able to relax and have fun. The largest water park in Europe - children will be happy. But during the season, you can leave as much money as you would spend on a trip abroad, and not to the most budget-friendly country.

  • Sochi 2019

    New Sochi is waiting for you with open arms. All my life this city has been a vacation spot. And now, after the Olympics, it has become even more beautiful and, accordingly, more expensive.
    Last minute tours in Russia today can be found at very attractive prices!

  • Tuapse

    The resort is a little cheaper than in Sochi. And a place for a relaxing holiday at sea with the whole family with children.

Where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad is the most popular question among tourists, and not only in crisis years. Many countries in Europe, Asia and America can offer you cheap holidays at sea: prices for food, hotels and entertainment there remain acceptable even at the current exchange rate of the ruble and dollar. But flying to many places will cost a huge amount. Therefore, today we offer you 5 countries, where you can relax at sea abroad inexpensively even taking into account the price of air tickets.


The Internet is now replete with articles from the category “Where to relax at sea abroad inexpensively.” But many authors, describing the cheapness of holidays in these places, miss the most important point. When choosing the cheapest countries for tourists, the compilers of the ratings cite the example of ridiculous prices for food and hotels, but forget about the cost of flights. And as a result, the lists of countries where it is cheaper to relax at sea abroad are topped by either Argentina or Guatemala. No doubt, these are indeed very inexpensive countries for a seaside holiday, but not for Russians. Because before you can spend $10 a night in Guatemala, you first need to get there.

Therefore, in our article about countries where you can have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad even with the current exchange rate of the ruble, we will take into account three main points:

  • flight cost,
  • food expenses,
  • price of hotel accommodation.

This is a mandatory expense for all tourists. Everything else (excursions, entertainment, transportation costs, souvenirs, etc.) is very individual, so we will not take these costs into account. Considering how wide our native country is, we will list prices for air tickets from three cities at once - the capital, the Northern capital and the capital of Siberia. So, where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad: the cheapest countries for tourism in Europe and Asia.

Türkiye: all in and nothing off

One of the goals of our site is to dispel misconceptions. One of the misconceptions of Russian tourists is that Turkey was “closed” and now it has allegedly been “opened”. Dear friends! Nothing of the kind: Turkey has always been open, visa-free and one of the cheapest countries where you can relax at sea abroad inexpensively. It was only prohibited to sell package tours there. Read more in our articles:

No one forbade and is not forbidding you to buy air tickets and fly on your own to vacation in this country of beautiful beaches, majestic mountains and a generous all-inclusive package. Moreover, from many Russian cities you can fly to Turkish resorts either directly or with a transfer in Moscow or Istanbul. And you can book a hotel with all-inclusive meals through the booking system.

  • Air ticket Moscow - Antalya: from 80 dollars
  • Air ticket St. Petersburg - Antalya: from 150 dollars

We won’t calculate food prices in Turkey - why, if you can stay in a decent hotel and eat and drink on an all-inclusive basis? Moreover, it is very inexpensive! When you look at hotels, don't forget to check the "All inclusive" box:

Tips for booking all-inclusive hotels in Turkey: on the most popular booking system Booking.com All-inclusive hotels are sometimes too expensive. The same hotels with the same “opinclusive” can be found on other booking systems for many times cheaper. Therefore, we recommend looking for hotels not through Booking, but through hotel search engine Hotellook— it compares prices for the same hotels in different booking systems and gives you the best price options. In addition, Hotellook, unlike Booking, gives you the opportunity to sort hotels operating on the All Inclusive system. When you select a hotel, Hotellook will transfer you to the booking system website (Booking.com, Agoda.com, Ostrovok.ru, etc.), where the booking takes place.

Vietnam: how much does beer cost under communism?

Together with Thailand Vietnam is one of the countries where cheap seaside holidays are possible at any time of the year. For many, Vietnam is even more comfortable as a holiday destination than Thailand. One of the reasons is that local cuisine is much more familiar to the European stomach - years of communication with the French and Russians have had an effect. Moreover, the communication is so close that the main resorts of Vietnam today are completely Russified: you can’t walk a hundred meters in Nha Trang or Mui Ne without encountering the obligatory “Matryoshka” cafe or at least the “USSR” store. And prices for many products here are even lower than in Thailand. For example, beer or bread costs half a dollar, wine costs 5 dollars. Read more in our articles:
