Where to have a cheap holiday at sea this summer? Where is the cheapest seaside holiday in Russia? Where is it worth going to relax?

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 2019.

In this article we will try to provide you with a description of the most popular destinations among Russian tourists. Also, many may be interested in reading the information from the article: where to 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).

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.

The colorful courtyards of Zamoskvorechye, framed by churches and tenement houses of the 19th century, are ideal for a short rest on a hectic day. It is quiet and calm here - no one will disturb you if you want to sit and read a book, and the only thing that can interrupt your reading is the ringing of a bell.

When the Martha and Mary Convent opened at the beginning of the last century, its sisters carried out charitable and medical work, helping both adults and children. Today there is a shelter for orphan girls, a charity canteen and a children's medical center. Stay in peace and quiet, thoughtfully walk through a well-kept garden with a gazebo and take a break from vain thoughts... The territory of the monastery is an ideal place for this.

Silence is worth a lot - but not in the Quiet Dial library. For 2 rubles/minute, those who want to take a break will immerse themselves in reading a book or working at the computer, and will not be disturbed by noisy neighbors in the office or apartment. And the furnishings - antique furniture, paintings and engravings - will set you in a creative mood.

In the “Apothecary Garden”, hidden from prying eyes, you can stroll under the crown of the very larch that, according to legend, Peter the Great himself planted. All year round the garden is transformed, but remains equally beautiful and cozy. In winter, by the way, if you feel cold walking, it is interesting to visit the greenhouse of evergreen plants.

On one side of the square there is a pond, on the other (if you cross the road) there is the Moscow River. Albeit a small but quiet green corner in the city center. You can lie on the grass, sunbathe, have a snack in nature or feed the ducks.

 Krasnokholmskaya emb., 13

A huge territory, uncrowded paths surrounded by greenery - freedom for both cyclists and the leisurely strolling public. Several picturesque ponds, a rose garden, a Japanese garden, a rock garden - there is not only where to walk, but also something to see. And if you are especially attentive and look around, during your walk you can see the rarest species of plants and trees.

It is no coincidence that Ivanovskaya Gorka, one of the seven hills on which Moscow stands, attracts film directors and painters; it is one of the most interesting places on the city map - an architectural reserve. The area where Ivanovskaya Gorka is located is conducive to leisurely walks, during which you can see the preserved noble chambers, churches and other attractions. For example, Levitan's house and the famous Ivanovo Monastery.

The former Trubetskoy estate is now in a shabby state. But it’s all the more pleasant to walk along Akhmatov’s linden alley, along paths that still remember the traces of Mayakovsky, Mandelstam, Stanislavsky, to find a bench where Pasternak loved to relax - a sanatorium worked here, where the spirit of the inhabitants grew stronger and received a supply of energy for further work. Therefore, is it worth reinventing the wheel? – you need to go out into the fresh air to cheer up!

To ensure that your holiday at sea in May does not disappoint you, it is worth finding out in advance where and how you can have a pleasant holiday on the eve of summer, which resorts have already had good weather, and what entertainment they can offer you there.

The best choice for a May holiday on the North African coast is the most famous Moroccan resort of Agadir. At this time, the air here warms up to +27 degrees, the sea is also warm, which will allow you to enjoy a good beach holiday. By the way, it is in Agadir that the best beach on the entire Atlantic coast of Morocco is located. In addition to sunbathing, you can go surfing here or take a break from the sea by taking a pleasant horse ride. The resort has thalassotherapy centers and excellent golf courses. Also, many excursion routes begin in Agadir, and May is the ideal time to travel to the south of the country.

The second region where you can have a great holiday in May is the Middle East. You can have a good rest at the resorts of Israel. The weather here is warm, sometimes even hot, but the heat is softened by a light breeze blowing from the sea. For those who just want to bask in the sun and swim in the sea, we can recommend the resorts of the Mediterranean and Dead Seas, as well as Lake Kinneret. For those who want to get acquainted with the history and sights of this amazing country, there are many excursion routes. We highly recommend taking advantage of these offers, since you won’t find a better time for excursions in Israel than April-May.

In addition, it is at this time, at the end of April - beginning of May, that Israel celebrates its main holiday - Independence Day. On this day, official receptions and military parades are held throughout the country, and folk festivities with songs and dances take place in the streets. The main feature of this holiday is the abundance of national flags, which seem to decorate every house and every passing car. The spectacle is very impressive, and the holiday ends with traditional fireworks.

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

In May, young guests will feel very comfortable here, since there is no sweltering heat yet and you can spend a long time under the sun. At the same time, no one canceled the protective cream! The weather will also allow active tourists to make exciting long trips and explore the sights of the country. Be sure to visit Cappadocia! Should I take warm clothes with me? Certainly. In the evening it’s still cool like spring, but during the day the air temperature warms up to +25..+28°C and you can sunbathe.

Your May holiday in Jordan will be very pleasant and interesting. Here you will have the gorgeous beaches of the Red and Dead Seas at your service. These places are best suited for family holidays, since for children there is real freedom here - a warm, clean sea and plenty of entertainment. In addition, Jordan is a real paradise for lovers of diving and eco-tourism. The coral reefs of the Red Sea are stunning with their beauty and diversity of the underwater world, and the luxurious vegetation of the coast and a very mild climate will allow everyone to spend several days in complete unity with nature.

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

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

At the same time, many cities celebrate the ancient pagan festival of flowers, dedicated to the goddess Demeter, and a little later, on May 21-23, Pirovassia, or Anastenaria, is noisily celebrated in many parts of the country. The most important event of this ancient holiday is dancing on hot coals, which invariably attracts a huge number of spectators. Since Greece is a country of rich culture, it is impossible to ignore the date of May 18, when the country celebrates the International Day of Museums and Monuments. It is useful for every tourist to know that on this day you can enter all the country’s numerous museums completely free of charge.

Fans of costume performances can recommend visiting the Medieval Festival, which takes place at the end of the month on the island of Rhodes. At the same time, a flower festival takes place here, and all the streets of the island are generously decorated with floral arrangements, the beauty of which is simply breathtaking.

If we talk about European countries, the most comfortable and interesting holiday in May may be on the islands of the Mediterranean Sea. During the May holidays, many of our compatriots go to the island of Cyprus. In May, the weather is wonderful here, and the sun easily warms the water off the coast to 21 degrees above zero. At the same time, the nights are quite cool. The most popular island holiday destinations are Ai-Napa, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, each of which is characterized by unique holiday conditions. For example, for all lovers of night parties, Ai-Napa is more suitable, and for married couples with children it is better to go to the beaches of Limassol.

You can enjoy water attractions in numerous and well-equipped water parks. The cultural life of the island in May is very rich. It is here that the European Dance Festival takes place at this time, as well as the Anthesteria festival. Anthesteria is a festival dedicated to the flowers of Cyprus, many of which grow only here.

During the festival, large flower fairs are held in all cities, and among Cypriots there is a custom of giving bouquets of flowers to all your friends. Also at this time, a carnival takes place in Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos. Paphos is the center of all celebrations, and the holiday here is celebrated on a special scale. And those who were lucky enough to see the Cypriot flower carnival talk about it as an unforgettable beauty spectacle.

Anyone who is afraid of the rainy season is not a “bearded” tourist. Experienced travelers know that precipitation at this time falls mainly only in the evening or at night, and during the day you can safely sunbathe and go swimming. And the best part is that the prices for tickets in May are simply fantastic. Shy people choose proven Turkey or the UAE, while thrifty tourists have a great time in Vietnam, where the water temperature is +27°C and higher.

We recommend choosing a hotel in Nha Trang; there is practically no precipitation here in May. During the day, the thermometer rises to +32°C. Also take a closer look at the beaches of Mui Ne and Phan Thiet. In Fukuoka you can already swim without fear of jellyfish; in addition, May is considered one of the hottest months here. Those who choose Vietnam will definitely not be disappointed, because they will have a pleasant holiday, a variety of entertainment and rich excursion routes.

Another attractive Mediterranean island for tourists is Malta. In May, everything here is literally buried in flowers - oleanders, bougainvelia, apple trees, pears, and various citrus trees bloom. The entire island turns into a lush garden. Here you can fully feel the breath of spring. Despite the very comfortable air temperature, the swimming season in Malta opens a little later; the sea in May is still cool.

However, Malta is so rich in a variety of attractions and entertainment that you may simply not have time for swimming. Here you will be offered numerous excursion tours for every taste, but you yourself should definitely take an exciting trip on the famous red excursion train, the route of which passes through the picturesque surroundings of Rabat and Mdina.

Several times a year, the tourism department holds a very interesting historical parade in the capital's Fort St. Elmo, dedicated to the heyday of the power of the Order of Malta. Soldiers, dressed in historical uniforms, demonstrate to the audience their ability to handle a musket and arquebus, then orders are announced, the guard is sent out and other historical details of the ordinary life of a medieval garrison, which can be extremely interesting to fans of military history. Well, after an interesting day of sightseeing, you can try your luck in one of the four famous Maltese casinos.

If you want to spend time on the shores of the clean sea and at the same time save a lot on your trip, we recommend taking a closer look at the resorts of Montenegro. The main advantages of a holiday on the sea coast are the low popularity of the resort among “May” tourists. This allows us to talk about the budget trip. Despite the fact that the beaches have not yet undergone global preparation for the holiday season, tourists will be able to appreciate decent conditions for swimming - the average air and water temperature during the day remains at 20-23 degrees above zero, rains are extremely rare here. But it is not recommended to stay in the water for a long time. The warmest months in May are in Podgorica, where the air warms up to +24 degrees, as well as in Budva and Tivat.

Bulgarian beaches also open a new beach season at the end of spring. Despite the fact that the water has not yet warmed up to a comfortable temperature, you can still spend a few days on the local coast. The weather is not conducive to full water procedures. The average air temperature remains at 25 degrees above zero.

But tourists who come to Bulgaria in the spring will have the opportunity to enjoy the flowering period of numerous shrubs and flowers, in which local settlements and cities are simply buried. During this period, a colorful festival dedicated to the queen of flowers, Rose, takes place. Thus, May for a holiday in Bulgaria is suitable for those who want to devote their vacation to getting to know the sights, customs and local cuisine.

Now we move on to relaxing in exotic corners of our planet. The Canary Islands offer tourists the best conditions for a late spring holiday. It’s especially nice when you have the opportunity to purchase a tour at a last minute price. During this period, the sea and air warm up to comfortable temperatures, allowing you to get a bronze tan and swim to your heart's content. Since the Canaries belong to Spain, all tourists will be able to appreciate the excellent cuisine of this country, the dishes of which will be served in local restaurants. Tenerife and Gran Canaria, which are famous for their combination of European comfort and exciting entertainment, are especially popular among tourists.

Another amazing holiday destination is the Seychelles coast. In May there is practically no rain here, and the air temperature remains high. This means that nothing can spoil the holiday of the resort guests. You will be offered a choice of staying on one of 115 islands, the most popular of which is Mahe Island.

It is here that the most comfortable conditions have been created for the relaxation of numerous tourists. It is in the Seychelles that newlyweds love to spend their honeymoon. After all, all conditions for complete privacy have been created here. Well, if you are looking for a holiday option without the need for a visa, then the Seychelles have an advantage over its main competitors in this regard.

If you are considering an Asian holiday destination, we recommend taking a closer look at the Maldives. The only limiting factor is the high cost of tours, prices for which start at $1,000. During the May holidays, real summer weather sets in on the islands, which is facilitated by the location of the Maldives close to the Earth's equator. The average air temperature rarely drops below 30 degrees above zero, and the clear water is more like fresh milk. At the same time, experienced tourists know that the festive mood can be slightly dampened by rain. But here all the conditions are created for diving and relaxing relaxation on the beach.

May is a good month to visit Tunisia. Firstly, you can relax at sea, and secondly, you can save a lot. At this time of year, the air heats up to +25-27C, and at night it is also quite warm - up to +21C. But the sea is still relatively cool: at the beginning of the month +17C, at the end +21C. Therefore, there is no massive influx of tourists yet, and prices are lower. The beaches in Tunisia are very pleasant - the sand is white, the entrance to the sea is gentle. You can sunbathe, and healthy people can swim. At the same time, the entire infrastructure of seaside resorts is already starting to work. Nightclubs are open, music is played in discos, cafes, shops, and entertainment centers are open.

You can walk along the beautiful embankments, book yacht trips, or go on excursions. A two-day excursion to the Sahara Desert will be very interesting, visiting attractions along the way. You will see places where Star Wars was filmed, look at the salt lake of Death, the Roman amphitheater and the city of the troglodytes. On May 1, the country celebrates Labor Day. And this month there are two beautiful holidays - the Rose Festival and the Spring Festival. Don't miss the opportunity to visit them. The fairs that take place in the country in May will also delight you.

May in Thailand is a very special month. During the day it is already very hot; by noon the thermometer is guaranteed to cross the mark of +30C, but it can rise to +40C. Sea water is not refreshing - it is heated to +28-29C. Therefore, it is better to sunbathe on the beach in the morning and late afternoon, and during the day stay in rooms where air conditioning is installed - in shops, spa salons, restaurants. You also need to take into account that the sea in May is often stormy, and if you see red flags on the beach, you shouldn’t tempt fate. Be aware of undercurrents. This is also not the best month for diving - there is a lot of plankton in the water, visibility is reduced.

But surfing fans will be delighted - they will always find somewhere to surf. Equipment can be rented at very low prices. There's still a bit of rain, and you're guaranteed at least 4-5 hours of sunshine every day, so you'll come home with a good tan. You can take yacht trips, feast on fruit, and take part in local festivals. It is worth exploring the caves of Mai Kaoe, visiting the orchid farm and the village of sea gypsies. Children will love elephant rides and jungle excursions.

On May 5, Thailand celebrates Coronation Day, and the First Furrow Festival is also very interesting, when the king personally takes up the plow and the monks bless him. The Fruit Festival is also interesting. Holiday prices are 40% lower than in high season.

In May, the popularity of the UAE as a tourist destination is lower than in winter. It's getting too hot here and summer is just around the corner. There is practically no rain in May, and the air temperature during the day reaches +37C. There are still a lot of people on the beaches, but only in the early morning hours and when the sun is already sinking to the horizon. The sand is snow-white, the water temperature is +27-28C - heavenly conditions. But you should be careful, you can easily get burned. Those who ride on a yacht need to be especially careful. The breeze creates a feeling of coolness, but does not reduce solar activity.

Even the local population finds it difficult to endure the hot climate, which is why air conditioning is used everywhere in the cities of the UAE. In hotels and spas, restaurants and shopping centers, public and personal transport. The best option, if you have a driver's license, would be to rent a car and see the sights, only leaving the cool interior for a short time.

Don't forget to bring long sleeves. They will protect from solar radiation and from sudden temperature changes when you enter a room with air conditioning from the street.
In general, in the UAE you can have a good rest in May, go shopping, and swim to your heart's content in the sea. Prices are significantly reduced compared to high season.

In Indonesia, this is the beginning of the high season. The climate in Bali is becoming significantly drier. There may be about 7 rainy days during the month, but the showers will not interfere with your rest - they are short-lived, and after a couple of hours the sun appears in the sky again. The air temperature is within the range of +28-33C, the water temperature is +26-28C. So beach holidays for tourists remain the main entertainment. At night on the island it is also very warm +23-25C, air conditioning may be required. You can surf, dive into warm water with scuba gear and explore the amazing underwater world.

Since the high season begins, all establishments are opening on the island, the purpose of which is to entertain tourists. You will be able to watch local dances, the artists will be dressed in national costumes - this is a real holiday, bright and colorful. There are a lot of Russians living in Bali, so you can book excursions with a Russian-speaking guide. You will see the Bird and Reptile Park, plantations where rice or coffee grow, and beautiful temples. Ubud is an arts and crafts hub, so you'll leave with some great souvenirs.

High season is also beginning in Malaysia. The air here remains hot +30-34C, but there is much less precipitation, and breathing is much easier in a dry climate. The sea water temperature is +26-28C, even children can swim for a long time. It is only important to remember that solar radiation is especially dangerous for children’s delicate skin; it is better to sunbathe in the morning and evening hours. Malaysia has many natural and architectural attractions, so a rich excursion program awaits you.

You can visit national parks, see their amazing inhabitants, walk along the Sky Bridge, look at temples and mosques, and look into beautiful caves. Malaysia has a very special cuisine, and you should not miss the opportunity to get to know it. You will also be impressed by the fact that in some cafes food is served on banana leaves. A holiday in Malaysia will not be cheap, but the vivid impressions that you will take away from here will be worth it.

In Mauritius, May is the “velvet season”. At this time, it is worth coming here for those who cannot stand the heat; it will be a good holiday with children. Surfers will always find waves to ride. And for those who like to shop, the Shopping Festival awaits, when prices for goods are significantly reduced - up to 50%. The air temperature stays within +28-29C, at night it is pleasantly cool +20-21C. Sea water is heated to +26C. Don't forget that the weather in Mauritius changes very quickly. During the day there may be a sudden short rain, so don't forget your umbrellas. Air humidity is quite high.

Scuba diving gives tourists great pleasure. The underwater world here is rich. And also very beautiful landscapes - grottos and caves, thickets of corals. There are few tourists in Mauritius at this time, so you can book places in the best hotels at reduced prices, and there will always be enough space on the beaches.
Also, May in Mauritius is the time of fashion shows, competitions and various entertainment events.

Resorts of Russia

Since interest in domestic resorts has recently been growing among Russians, the first on our list will be the coasts of the Black and Azov Seas. During the May period, there are not yet a large number of vacationers here; all guests can expect a clean sea and beaches, reasonable prices for accommodation and a warm welcome from hoteliers who are pretty bored with tourists. Every day the demand for holidays in such destinations as Anapa, Sochi, Tuapse and Gelendzhik is growing.

The main disadvantage of these resorts is that in May the sea water has not yet had time to warm up to a comfortable temperature. But, if you really can’t wait to take a dip, vacationers can use the swimming pools located on the territory of the hotel complexes. The May holidays are perfect for those who come to the sea coast not for entertainment, but for health purposes. Guests can enjoy therapeutic and restorative procedures, saunas and massage rooms.

Who is the best place to buy tours from?

The GuruTurizma team personally appreciated the service of these travel agencies, so they can confidently recommend them. We’ll tell you in detail about each: why it’s better than the travel agency around the corner, what goodies it offers, what its prices are for the most popular destinations.

Onlinetours.ru is one of the leaders in the tourism market. On their website they have a very convenient and intuitive form for searching for tours. All you need is to configure the search parameters (destination, convenient dates, number of tourists, etc.) and the system will offer the most profitable options. They always have interesting promotions and discounts of up to 60% for those who prefer to book their vacation in advance. If you don’t want to look for it yourself, call the manager, who will be only too happy to find interesting tours for you.

You can pay for your trip in various ways - online on the website, in the office in cash or by card. If your budget does not allow you to pay for the tour right away, then at the Onlinetours.ru office you can arrange it on credit or use a free trust payment - checkmate for those who always have reasons why they cannot fly on vacation this year.

You can print out documents for the tour (vouchers, contract, insurance policy, etc.) from your personal account, and they will also be sent to you by email. There are also nice bonuses - miles as a gift, which are awarded for each tour from 30 thousand rubles. Stop accumulating negativity about everything and everyone around you - relax, save miles and use them for new cool adventures. They also take free photos for visas - that’s just... a note. A small thing, but nice.

- this is the very case when you don’t need to look for interesting offers, and then open a new tab and book directly with a tour operator. Their advantage is precisely that they do not inflate their prices, and they are always the same as those of the tour operator. The booking system allows you to directly receive the best offers from leading tour operators in Russia. Speaking of the system, it is very convenient. You can choose not only the type of food and the number of stars, the hotel rating, but also the distance to the beach, the beach itself (pebble or sand, private or public), and the distance from the airport. In general, using their filters you can choose a truly ideal option.

To make it easier to find the best deals, we have a very cool calendar that shows the lowest price for a tour that currently exists. There are constantly competitions with interesting prizes and promotions, for example, the “Destination of the Week” promotion. At the moment it is India. Anyone who books a tour on the website just needs to enter a promo code and thus receive a discount of 2 thousand rubles on their trip.

Now you don’t need to organize forced marches through the offices of travel agencies to find out who can offer the most attractive price for a discounted tour package; all the best offers are already on the website. But most of all we liked their championship. 2000 points to the person who finds and books the cheapest tour this month! Every month there is a new winner. M - motivation. Take a look around the site, they have a lot of interesting things.

Another crazy year is over. Currency jumps, rising gasoline and food prices are a thing of the past. I want to take my mind off problems, the bustle of the city and take a deep breath. Some have planned their trip in advance, others are still thinking about it. Most of us strive for foreign resorts or, considering them better than domestic ones. There is some truth to something.

Why not spend your holidays in Russia? Why is our nature bad? The unique geographical location allows you to actively relax, go on interesting excursion tours, just lie on the beach and get a wonderful tan. Prices are another matter. In this matter, our resorts are far behind Turkey, Tunisia or Egypt. But not everything is so bad :) If you set a goal, you can have a wonderful and inexpensive holiday with us.

Where to go on vacation in the summer in Russia

Summer has arrived, and there is no point in delaying choosing a vacation spot. Prices for tickets and vouchers may rise, there will be no room in hotels... but you never know what can happen :) Let's try to figure out where we can go without crossing the border. Let's make a reservation right away - the prices are average and taken for the airports of Moscow and St. Petersburg. And let's start, perhaps, with the beaches, sea and salt spray.

When wondering where to go to the sea in Russia, you should start from the Black Sea coast. And the point is not that the resort cities of this region are constantly in the news. It's time to confirm or refute the opinion that vacationing on the Black Sea is more expensive than abroad. What usually comes to mind when talking about our beaches? That's right, Anapa, Lazarevskoye, Gelendzhik and Sochi. That's the point! There are other cool places where there are few tourists and reasonable prices.

INTERESTING. During the heyday of ancient Greek civilization, the Black Sea bore several names - Inhospitable, Scythian, Pont Aksinsky. The modern name comes from “Kara Deniz”, which is what the Turkic nomads called the sea. The name familiar to us came from the translation.

Just the small number of tourists will make your vacation pleasant;) We recommend small towns - Kabardinka, Divnomorskoye or the village of Ashe. In addition to the beaches and the gentle sea, you can learn and taste more. For example, going to Abrau-Durso. Don't forget about Crimea and the Krasnodar region. Inexpensive hotels, a relaxing holiday can be found there, and the nature is in no way inferior to the Black Sea.

Now about the prices. So they make prices “Prices”. During the holiday season, additional flights appear, but cheap tickets sell out quickly - purchase them in advance! To Sochi prices start from 5-6 thousand, to Anapa about 7-9 thousand, to Simferopol and Krasnodar about 6.5 thousand rubles. Finding accommodation on your own will not be easy, especially on the day of arrival. A guest house, hostel is about one thousand to one and a half thousand, a hotel room starts from two thousand per day.

Where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea - Azov and the Baltic

First, let's look at the southern option - the Sea of ​​Azov. You can often hear a disdainful attitude towards this region, but you won’t find a better place to relax with children. There is sand at the bottom, there is less depth, therefore the water is warmer. Just the thing for the little ones. The choice of location is quite wide: Kuchugury, Dolzhanskaya, Yeysk, Peresyp, Primorsko-Akhtarsk. A flight to Rostov-on-Don will cost 6-6.5 thousand. Accommodation can be found from 800 rubles per day.

FACT. The Sea of ​​Azov is considered semi-enclosed. Through a system of straits and seas it communicates with the Atlantic Ocean: Kerch Strait - Black Sea - Bosphorus - Sea of ​​Marmara - Dardanelles - Aegean Sea - Mediterranean Sea - Gibraltar - Atlantic. Compared to other seas, the Sea of ​​Azov is very young. Presumably it was formed 8-9 thousand years ago.

Baltic resorts are a separate story. There is no Black Sea heat, the climate is milder. Unique conditions will allow you to improve your health, play sports or relax leisurely. We'll have to fly to Kaliningrad. Externally, the resorts resemble European ones, just as well-groomed and clean. Tourists will appreciate the sandy spits, centuries-old pine trees, the sea and the architecture.

There are plenty of beaches here. The best are in Zelenogradsk, which is not surprising - there was once a royal resort there. Take note of Yantarnoye, Pionersky and Otradnoye. The flight will cost 7-7.5 thousand rubles. At the height of the season, you won’t find a room cheaper than 2-3 thousand. Renting an apartment or house will cost no less than a hotel room.

Active recreation in Russia

Not everyone spends their holidays at the beach. Fans of a healthy lifestyle prefer diving, river rafting, climbing and other options associated with physical activity and adrenaline. And where, if not here, can one find such a variety of natural conditions?

Where to go to the South and the Caucasus

Active recreation is multifaceted, everyone can choose a method for themselves. Our south is a great place for those who want to stretch their legs on vacation. It’s definitely worth visiting Khmelevskie Lakes. There is a rise to a height of almost two kilometers and a beautiful view. There is also the Plesetskaya gap and trekking walks through the yew grove. And the mountain beauties of the Caucasus? No need for foreign countries!

The Caucasus region is an excellent place for both beginning extreme sports enthusiasts and professionals. The beauty of the mountains, interesting routes, gorgeous nature, what else is needed for an unforgettable vacation. For lovers of water sports, we recommend visiting the village of Blagoveshchenskaya near Anapa or Golubitskaya on the Sea of ​​Azov. Kitesurfing, windsurfing, diving - you can't list it all.

Inexpensive holiday in Russia. Active recreation in Crimea

After the annexation of this region, many opportunities opened up for us to spend a memorable vacation. The nature of the peninsula seems to be created for tourism. And an active summer holiday can impress the most demanding traveler. It’s worth scuba diving at Cape Tarkhankut - the coral reefs are as beautiful as “imported” ones.

By the way, Crimea is the Mecca of hang gliding. It was there that Soviet athletes began flying in the thirties of the last century. Even if you don’t fly, the beauty of Kara-Dag and Uzun-Syrt is worth climbing the mountains. If the weather is not suitable for flying, you can take a sea excursion, go to a nature reserve or take a swim.

In general, there is plenty to do - mountains, sea, beaches :) The choice is really rich. There are walking routes through picturesque places, sunrise in the Valley of Ghosts, and the climb to Ai-Petri. Housing costs are about the same as in the rest of the South. Maybe a little cheaper. The flight will cost approximately 6.5 thousand.

Traveling around Russia. Altai

It takes a little longer and more expensive to get here from the Central regions. But believe me, it's worth it. First of all, for those who prefer to spend their time usefully. Harsh mountains, romance of elemental conquerors, a touch of mysticism and unique beauty - all this is yours. You can choose a tour or go on your own. In the latter case, we stock up on a tent, sleeping bag and other equipment.

INTERESTING. Crimea began to develop as a resort area in the second half of the last century. This was facilitated by the construction of railways, which allowed residents of any province to quickly get to the peninsula. At the beginning of the 20th century, a construction boom began. Dachas, summer residences, palaces, villas, and public places are being built.

For lovers of organized recreation, special routes have been developed that allow you to practice certain sports. Those interested can choose a walking or horseback riding tour, a bike or car route, rafting down mountain rivers or climbing mountains. In general, the extreme soul will be delighted. As for finances, the trip is not cheap. The best option is train or car. A direct flight costs from 15 thousand.

Where to spend your holidays in Russia. Baikal and Kamchatka

For residents of the center of the country, travel is the most difficult and expensive. But, having been there once, you want to come back again and again. Still, our nature, especially the pristine one, not spoiled by man, is better than any foreign tropics. The Valley of Geysers in Kamchatka alone is worth it! There is no such miracle on our continent anymore. True, you can only get there by helicopter :)

The peninsula is divided into tourist routes, both thematic and for general acquaintance with the nature of the region. You can choose from rafting, climbing the slopes of volcanoes, or swimming in geothermal springs. The nature is harsh, we do not recommend that beginners make their own route or raft down local rivers. Real adventures are really worth it - a flight to Kamchatka will cost about 30 thousand rubles.

DID YOU KNOW... that the largest concentration of petroglyphs in Russia is located in the Elangash Valley. Scientists are still arguing about the meaning of the place, methods of application and the meaning of rock paintings. This is caused by the enormous chronological density of images. Approximately 80 images are highlighted, including animals, hunting scenes, chariots, horsemen and other objects of the Bronze Age.

Baikal is a separate topic that deserves a huge article :) A huge number of legends, myths, and traditions are associated with the lake. One fact - the deepest lake - causes involuntary awe. What can you say about the fact that water far from populated areas can still be drunk without filtering? The best way to relax in these places is to choose a cruise. An ideal option for enjoying the truly expanse of the sea and the beauty of the coast.

The flight is cheaper than to Kamchatka, but not by much. Approximately 25-27 thousand. You can get there by train. The truth will come out much longer. When traveling by car, it is better to take a travel companion who knows the area. Not to say that there are no roads there :) but we advise you to choose air travel. “Savages” will easily find housing. By resort standards, prices are very cheap, but you will have to pay for excursions.

Where to relax in Russia in the summer. Karelia

It’s a fishermen’s dream; there’s no other way to describe the region, which has about 30 thousand rivers, rivulets and lakes. The harsh nature is perfect for romantics who dream of getting away from civilization. You won't find a better place for active recreation - kayak rafting of any complexity. Skerries riding, diving, climbing Nuorunen and much more.

Some people go fishing or hunting with a group, others book tours, of which there is no shortage. For an independent holiday, you will need an SUV and a local guide. Therefore, we recommend that beginners contact tour operators. It may be more expensive, but safer. And you’ll definitely get what you came for.

Budget holidays in Russia with children

Having a child makes it somewhat difficult to choose a place :) You won’t be able to take it to dangerous routes, and the little “Energizer” may not want to lie stupidly on the beach. So you will have to plan in advance. And there is plenty to choose from: beaches, sports, educational excursions or wellness holidays.

There will be no problems with active recreation. With teenagers you can go on simple routes in the Crimean Mountains or the Caucasus. Windsurfing and kitesurfing are suitable. You can combine your activities with involving your child in adult fun :) Therefore, you don’t have to go somewhere special and get bored while your child is having fun.

Black Sea resorts are rich in water activities - bungee jumping, cruises, catamarans, scooters. You can choose horseback riding or hiking. For younger children, water attractions, a dolphinarium, trips to the botanical garden and excursions to the mountains with an easy climb are suitable.

Cheap seaside holidays in Russia

The unique natural conditions of the southern regions make it possible to combine tanning and wellness treatments. Dozens of health resorts and sanatoriums offer healing air, mineral springs, mud baths and much more. Most institutions have developed special programs for the rehabilitation and recovery of children after illnesses.

INTERESTING. It’s worth going to Karelia not only for fishing, hunting or extreme sports. "BEARD" recommends visiting the museums and architectural complexes of the region - the branch of "Marcial Waters", the scientific research, church-archaeological and natural museum-reserve of Valaam, the Kizhi museum-reserve, a branch of the Vepsian ethnographic museum.

If you need a calm, measured, family vacation in the south of Russia, then it is better to choose resorts on the Azov Sea. The ideal option is Kuchugury or Golubitskaya. “Family resorts” are located there. A quiet, peaceful place with sandy beaches and shallow depths. And the kids will simply be delighted with the abundance of shells. And you can get treatment:) there are mud and mineral lakes nearby. You can go on excursions to Taman or Crimea.

Many people like the Black Sea. But not everywhere is good for relaxing with children; most resorts are designed for the needs of adults. We advise you to go to the southern coast of Crimea and Sudak. Small villages in the Krasnodar Territory are also well suited for family holidays. If you need the Baltic, then we definitely choose Zelenogradsk.

Where to relax cheaply in Russia. Cultural program

That's all there is to it, but there shouldn't be any problems with organizing cultural leisure. Despite the progress, not everyone was in Moscow or St. Petersburg museums. But virtual excursions cannot replace real impressions of encounters with beauty. If you want, book a tour, or you can drive yourself and visit Red Square, Arbat, Tverskaya, Tretyakov and Alexander Gardens. There are a lot of options, you can first search on the Internet.

In St. Petersburg, we recommend the classic set - horseman, St. Isaac's Cathedral, Winter Cathedral, Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, Peter and Paul's Cathedral and so on. Walks in the historical areas of the city or surrounding areas are good. But it is better to book excursions. In this case, you will be shown the most interesting things, and you won’t waste time. Summer is the best weather for sightseeing. Warm and not damp.

IMPORTANT! The routes of the Golden Ring are constantly heard, but few tourists know about the Silver Necklace of Russia. This is a northern tourist route passing through cities with unique historical monuments. Often the number and set of cities on routes differ - tour operators draw up excursion maps in their own way. You may have come across tours under the second name - Northern Ring of Russia.

Many are familiar with the cities of the former Vladimir-Suzdal Rus', and now included in the most famous tourist route - the Golden Ring. The trip will be interesting for schoolchildren of primary and secondary school age. Children will be able to see places and imagine events studied in history lessons. We think that adults will also find it interesting if they take a leisurely stroll through the historical places of Suzdal or Kostroma.

Where to relax on a budget in the summer

Well, that's almost all. All that remains is to see how much it costs to fly to different cities in the country. We remind you that the cost is approximate and may differ from what you see at the box office. Moreover, we took the lowest of all prices.

• St. Petersburg - from 4.5 thousand;
• Minvody - approximately 4900-5200;
• Volgograd - prices start from 5700;
• Arkhangelsk - 5.5 thousand;
• You can fly to Sochi for almost 6 thousand;
• Anapa, Vladikavkaz and Makhachkala - from 7 thousand;
• Nalchik - approximately 7300;
• Krasnodar - from 6000;
• A flight to Kaliningrad will cost 6.5 thousand;
• Rostov-on-Don - approximately 6000;
• Crimea - from 6400.

For about the same price you can get to the desired resort. In most cases, there will be no increase in price, but it is better to take care and make a reservation for the desired date. If you come to your senses too late, you will significantly overpay. Have a great holiday!

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.

Prices for flights to Turkey: from $80

• Air ticket Moscow - Antalya: from 80 dollars
• Air ticket St. Petersburg - Antalya: from 150 dollars
• Air ticket Novosibirsk - Antalya: from 200 dollars
• Flight Moscow - Alanya: from 80 dollars
• Air ticket St. Petersburg - Alanya: from 135 dollars

Tips for finding flights to Turkey: if tickets from your city to Antalya or Alanya are too expensive, try searching cheap flights to Istanbul. And from there there are many inexpensive ways to get to the resorts of the Turkish Mediterranean - both by air and by land.

Prices for all-inclusive hotels in Turkey: from $45

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.

Total: a week's holiday in Turkey costs from $635 for two

Airfare to Alanya and back: from $320

Where to relax at sea abroad inexpensively: Turkey has always been and will be a warm, hospitable country. And after the ban on the sale of package tours, tourists had the opportunity to see the local flavor and beautiful nature behind the endless “all inclusive” packages.

Thailand: affordable exotic

Of those countries where you can inexpensively relax at sea in summer and winter, Thailand is the most exotic. And at the same time very accessible and familiar: none of the countries in Southeast Asia is visited by tourists as much as Thailand; There are not so many flights from Russia to any of the Southeast Asian countries as to Thailand, and there is not so much varied information on the Internet about any of the neighboring countries. Including on our website. Here, as an example, are a few of our articles that will help you spend your holiday in Thailand brightly and at the same time inexpensively:

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:
