Every day the demand for holidays in such destinations as Anapa, Sochi, Tuapse and Gelendzhik is growing.

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? Unique geographical position allows you to actively relax, drive interesting sightseeing 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. Modern name came from “Kara Deniz”, this 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. Cheap hotels, a relaxing holiday can be found there too, and the nature is in no way inferior to the Black Sea.

Now about the prices. So they make prices “Prices”. Appear during the holiday season additional flights, but cheap tickets sell out quickly - buy 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 best place Can't find one for families with kids. 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 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 aquatic species 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 he’s active summer rest is able to 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 choose 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. Here and walking routes through picturesque places, dawn in the Valley of Ghosts, ascent 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- it's all 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 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 organized holiday 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.

Do you know that largest cluster petroglyphs on the territory of Russia is located in the Elangash valley. Scientists are still arguing about the meaning of the place, methods of application and meaning 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 is away from settlements Can you still drink without filtering? The best way relax in these places - 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 holiday.

WITH active recreation there won't be any problems. With teenagers you can go on easy routes in Crimean mountains or in 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- bungees, cruises, catamarans, scooters. You can choose horse 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

Unique natural conditions southern regions allow you 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. There are located " family resorts" Quiet quiet place With sandy beaches and shallow depth. 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 recommend going to South coast Crimea and Sudak. Small villages in Krasnodar region 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. A virtual excursions will not 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, Saint Isaac's Cathedral, Winter, Spas-on-Blood, Petrovpavlovka 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 northern a 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 - 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 historical places 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!
