Where is it cheaper to relax in the summer? How and where to relax in Russia in the summer. Where to relax cheaply in Russia. Cultural program

The work is completed, the signature is placed on the application, vacation pay is received - nothing else is needed for happiness, it’s time to go on a trip. Let's see where to go on vacation 2020 in Russia.

Karelia

This is our answer to the Finns to their land of a thousand lakes. In Karelia, lakes also number in the thousands, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t have time to get around them all: the impressions from Onega alone will last for years to come. If you like river rafting, regular hiking and berry-mushroom hunting, this is the place for you.

In Karelia you can not only enjoy nature, but also visit places that are legendary. For example, the Valaam Monastery. No, monastic tonsure is not required; you can get by with a guided tour. Another option is to climb Sapen Mountain. Just not in rainy weather: they say this place is anomalous, it attracts lightning, but you still have to return from vacation to your favorite job.

Kislovodsk

This city is sunny, green and extremely healthy. If Pushkin and Lermontov had lived to this day, they would have confirmed this. You can do with the healing water, which is in abundance here, as you please - drink it and bathe in it. After water treatments, it is recommended to climb the mountains. Fortunately, not on foot, but by cable car. We also recommend taking a walk around the Resort Park. He has already turned 200 years old, and for 199 of them he has been waiting for you.

Sea of ​​Azov

It is considered the smallest in the world. This fact would probably upset Jacques-Yves Cousteau, but it should please you: the water warms up quickly, so you can go here with children without fear for their health. A soft sandy bottom will prevent injuries. There are advantages not only by the sea, but also by its shore: there are attractions, dolphinariums and zoos.

Black Sea

Its flagship is Sochi, and for good reason, because it has become a year-round resort: from May to October people swim in the sea here, and the rest of the time they go skiing in Krasnaya Polyana. Whenever you come here, movement is guaranteed. In summer, of course, there is more variety here: you can take your children to Sochi Park (an analogue of Disneyland), climb to the observation deck of Mount Akhun, or visit Skypark, whose extreme entertainment will take your breath away.

Crimea

This is a real resort treasure. Only Mother Nature could fit so many amazing places on one peninsula. The resorts themselves are located on flat terrain, and at the same time surrounded by mountains, ancient fortresses and other unique attractions. Therefore, in Crimea you can combine a classic beach holiday with trips to historical places.

The most popular in Crimea are Yalta and Alushta. The infrastructure is well developed here, there is all kinds of entertainment, beautiful embankments and parks. You can go on inexpensive vacation to Evpatoria, Feodosia and Sudak.

Baikal

Purity and depth are not only boring physical characteristics, they are also the two main properties of Lake Baikal. You can relax here both in winter and summer. During the cold season, people on the lake go ice fishing, ride snowmobiles, and simply admire the frozen Baikal ice, which cannot be confused with anything else.

The water in Baikal is quite cool even in summer, so we recommend swimming in small creeks and bays. But you can admire the beauty of the local nature at any air temperature.

Altai

Gorny Altai is often compared to Switzerland. The same landscapes, only more familiar. The same rivers, only more winding. The same grazing horses, only Russian. You can only check what is more here, Swiss or Russian, on the spot. And don’t be afraid: Altai is good not only for extreme sports enthusiasts who travel with a tent. You can rent an apartment and get to the main attractions by car or bus.

In Altai, the Belokurikha resort stands out, which is cleverly hidden between mountains and forests. In winter it is a ski center, and in summer here you can enjoy the mountain air, silence and thermal springs without worries.

Kaliningrad region

If you want a European atmosphere, you don't have to vacation in Europe. In the Kaliningrad region, many German buildings have been preserved, not only in Kaliningrad, but also in neighboring Svetlogorsk and Zelenogradsk. And almost all the world’s amber is mined in this region; you can collect it with your own hands right on the shores of the Baltic Sea. If you don’t have a particular desire to engage in collecting, you can relax on the Curonian Spit - walk through the forests and dunes, lie on the local beaches.

“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.

• Lazarevskoe

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

Where else can you go on vacation at sea in summer 2019 inexpensively and safely?

There are also countries of the former “soviet” (republics of the USSR), where our parents still spent their holidays inexpensively and safely:

Where should you not go on vacation in the summer of 2019?

The situation in many European countries is very precarious - the problem with refugees has not yet been resolved. Mass unrest is happening here and there - we would protect ourselves and not go to France or Israel.

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

The countries of the Arab continent can be dangerous for vacation. And Egypt with its unstable political situation. Now every month the issue of admission and permission to travel for a holiday to Egypt for Russians is resolved. Let's hope that such a popular and exotic country will be included in the ranking of safe and inexpensive countries.

P.S.: The choice of holiday at sea in the summer of 2019 is yours - decide for yourself where to go for a summer holiday at sea inexpensively and safely. It happens that when you arrive at the Black Sea hoping for sunshine, clouds appear and it rains.

Remembering Africa, one imagines mountains of yellow sand, camels, terrible heat. But, having found little Tunisia in the northern part of the continent, you realize that this is not entirely true.
