Where will you personally go on vacation in July 2016? We'd love to hear your options and comments.
July is the time of year when the holiday season is in full swing, when you want only one thing: to stretch out on the sand of the beach and forget about everything in the world. However, the financial crisis makes us think about saving, so many want to know where to go to the seaside in July so that the expenses do not turn out to be fatal for the family budget.
At home or abroad?
First of all, you should decide where you want to spend your vacation, since each person has his own ideas about a budget vacation. Moreover, a trip to Sochi with accommodation in a five-star hotel can cost many times more than the amount you will have to pay for a flight to Montenegro and a modest guesthouse on the Adriatic coast.
At the same time, when choosing where to go unplanned in July, you will have to take into account the presence or absence of a visa, since obtaining it will require certain financial costs and time, which may not be available.
Where to go on vacation in July in Russia?
Midsummer is considered the best time to relax on the sea beaches of our country. Resorts in the Krasnodar Territory, Kaliningrad Region and Crimea are available to tourists. Among the advantages of a “home” holiday are:
- no need for visas;
- the ability to get to the vacation destination by your own car, by bus or by rail;
- no language barrier and no need to exchange rubles for local currency.
In addition, it is easier to acclimatize at domestic resorts and you won’t have to get used to unusual culinary traditions.
Resorts of the Krasnodar region
Don't know where to go to the seaside in July? Choose any of the resorts in the Krasnodar region. At the same time, lovers of inexpensive holidays can be invited to pay attention to the small villages located along the coast. For example, you can stay in Agoy, which is located in the Tuapse region. There is no special entertainment there, but this circumstance is compensated by low prices and a clean beach with a flat bottom, which is ideal for swimming with small children.
You can also relax on a budget in Dederkoy. Local prices will be a pleasant surprise even for people with low incomes, and on the beach they will be treated to such entertainment as jet skis and banana boats.
Of course, you can rely on your luck and go looking for cheap options at famous resorts such as Sochi, Lazarevskoye, Gelendzhik, Anapa, Tuapse or Dagomys. However, July is the time when the chances that you will find a room there in the private sector at more or less affordable prices are almost zero.
Resorts of the Crimean Peninsula
Yalta, Evpatoria, Alushta and Feodosia have always been popular among the residents of our country. After the return of Crimea to Russia, the flow of tourists increased significantly. This means that you should choose where to go on vacation in July on the peninsula so that you can save money, you should choose among lesser-known resorts.
- Kachu, where there are a lot of inexpensive accommodation options, and the entire infrastructure of Sevastopol, which is located a few minutes drive from the city, is also available.
- Zaozernoye, from where you can get to Evpatoria by minibuses running at intervals of 20 minutes.
- Koreiz with the luxurious Yusupov Palace, which is one of the architectural landmarks of Crimea.
Resorts of Kaliningrad
When deciding where to go to the sea in July, residents of the northern regions of the European part of Russia may want to take a closer look at the resorts of the Kaliningrad region, as there are many opportunities to organize your vacation inexpensively.
On the Baltic Sea coast, this month is considered the warmest and sunniest. Of course, the water temperature near the beaches is lower than, for example, in Crimea, but the prices are several times cheaper.
You can organize a beach holiday combined with interesting excursions and water activities in:
- Baltiysk.
- Amber.
- Pionersky.
- Zelenogradsk.
- Svetlogorsk.
On average, the cost of an air flight from the capital to Kaliningrad will cost 4,000 rubles; as for accommodation prices, renting an apartment in the private sector will cost 1,000 rubles per day.
Where to go on vacation in July without a visa?
Let's assume that the decision to spend an inexpensive vacation abroad arose spontaneously. At the same time, you do not have a Schengen visa, and you are not considering options for spending your holidays in the states of the former USSR. Then your choice will be limited to countries such as Turkey, Cyprus (Turkish part) or Montenegro. You can travel there without a visa, and the presence of many economy class hotels will make it easy to find an affordable option.
Türkiye
If you are deciding where to go on vacation abroad in July, then pay attention to the tourist centers located on the eastern coast of the Aegean Sea. In July, it is less hot there than in other regions of Turkey, but tourists can expect gorgeous beaches, inexpensive 2-3-star hotels and an interesting excursion program, including visits to the ancient cities of Asia Minor. You can have a great rest, for example, in Marmaris, which in summer becomes one of the club capitals of the region, or in calm Didim, where excellent conditions have been created for relaxing with children.
As for those who want to improve their health, hotels on the Cesme Peninsula, where there are many thermal springs with healing water, are suitable for them.
You can get to these Turkish resorts by direct flights from Moscow, for example, to Bodrum International Airport, and from there by bus or taxi. The price of air travel will be a little more than 10,000 rubles.
Resorts of Montenegro
This small country is considered one of the best options for organizing an inexpensive beach holiday abroad, especially since they traditionally treat Russians with great warmth. So for those who are deciding where to go abroad in July, it makes sense to consider first of all the resorts on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro. For example, you can have a good holiday in Herceg Novi or Kotor.
In addition to relaxing on gorgeous beaches, recognized as the most environmentally friendly in Europe, tourists will enjoy an excellent excursion program, as well as luxurious diving.
A trip to Montenegro is also beneficial because you can rent an inexpensive apartment there in the private sector with full board, which will cost 40 euros. At the same time, a flight to Podgorica from Moscow will cost about 11,000 rubles, and even cheaper if booked early.
Cyprus
Are you looking for an inexpensive place to go by the sea in July? Choose Cyprus! To save money, it is better to go wild. According to experienced tourists, this option always costs half as much as an organized tour. Today, independently booking a room in an economy class hotel or in a private guesthouse is not difficult, since any such operation can be done online. In this case, the average room cost is 35 euros per night.
It is equally important that in restaurants in Cyprus you can have a tasty and satisfying lunch for just 10 euros. As for excursions, July is not the best time for outdoor walks, but visiting local museums will be interesting for history and art lovers.
It should be warned that the inclusion of Cyprus in the list of countries where to travel in July without a visa at an inexpensive price is to some extent conditional. This is due to the fact that the island today continues to be divided by a demarcation line separating “Greek” Cyprus from Turkish. So, in the latter case, a visa is really not needed. If you are going to the resorts of the “Greek” part, you will need it, but you can order it online. At the same time, holidays in the north of the island will be cheaper.
Bulgaria
If you have a Schengen visa, then when choosing where to go in July, think about whether you should choose one of our parents’ favorite resorts located on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria? Of course, you are unlikely to be able to have a cheap holiday in Varna or in hotels in Sunny Beach, but in Albena it is quite possible to find a budget option. True, the cheapness of accommodation can be negated due to the comparatively high cost of an air ticket to Varna, which in July costs about 17,000 rubles.
Greece
It turns out that a financial crisis is not always evil! You don't know where to go in July so that the trip doesn't make a hole in the family budget? Then pay attention to Greece. The crisis forced the Greeks to make room and start renting out 1-2 rooms in their villas on the coast to tourists in the hope of making money and waiting out the hard times more easily. As a result, there were more offers on the rental real estate market, which led to a drop in prices.
The cheapest holidays will be at the resorts of the Chalkidiki Peninsula and Thassos Island. You can get there from the capital by direct flight to Thessaloniki airport, the price of which is 140 euros, and then by bus or ferry.
Relatively cheap air tickets are also offered for flights flying to this city from Volgograd, Yekaterinburg, Samara, Mineralnye Vody and Rostov-on-Don.
Georgia
When thinking about where to go in July, our parents very often chose Georgia, whose resorts can be a good option for a budget holiday even today.
First of all, you should know that you will not need a visa, just as there will be no need to obtain permission to travel abroad for children traveling with one of the parents or with third parties. At the same time, an air flight from Moscow to Batumi will cost 17.5 thousand rubles, but you can always take a bus, the ticket for which costs approximately 3,500 rubles. You can also get to this Georgian city by a comfortable minibus for a little more money.
Tourists can stay in the private sector of Batumi itself, where there are many entertainment venues for every taste, or go to Ureki.
This resort is considered an ideal place for families with small children, as there is a very gentle entrance to the sea. In addition, the local beaches are covered with sand, which has healing properties.
You can have a good rest for little money in Kobuletti. Prices in the private sector are different there. However, if you're lucky, you can find a decent option costing between 300-500 rubles per night.
Now you know where to go inexpensively in July, and you can organize a wonderful beach holiday both abroad and in our country.
July and August are traditionally a busy holiday season. Hot both literally and figuratively. There are many opportunities for a good holiday during this period. We will try to briefly talk about the most interesting travel destinations at this time, more precisely for a beach holiday.
July, August, beach holidays - a great combination and a lot of options. But it’s probably no secret that the most popular countries for Russians this summer month are Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia. During this period, the listed countries turn into Russian-speaking ones. Some people find this a plus, others a minus, but regardless of this, the temperature at these resorts is very high, and the weather is generally favorable for swimming in the sea and enjoying sunbathing.
The record holder for the heat here is Egypt, +40 +45 degrees are quite common. But there is no need to be afraid. The climate in this African country is very dry, and as a result, high temperatures are tolerated much more easily than in Moscow or St. Petersburg. The average water temperature in the Red Sea is +26 +29 degrees.
Turkey and Tunisia are a little cooler. Here in July the average monthly temperature is around + 33 +35C, the sea warms up to +27C. It gets a little hotter in August. 
If you don’t like intense heat, you can go to the beaches of Europe - Italy, Spain, the Balkans. Here you will find a warm sea and a comfortable temperature for beach lazing +27+29C. Another good thing about European resorts is that swimming and sunbathing can be successfully combined with excursion holidays. The possibilities for this are countless.
Young people will love the riotous discos of Ibiza and the carefree atmosphere of Cyprus and Malta. During the day - the sea and the beach, in the evening - in isolation. If you are traveling with children, we recommend Costa Dorada (Spain); its Port Aventura amusement park will not leave any child, or adult, disappointed. And in general, hotels and beaches in Spain can satisfy any, even the most demanding taste.
If you want a little more coolness, both in the air and in the water, but so that everything is, as they say, at the highest level, visit Portugal and its famous island of Madeira. The temperature of +24 +25C is perfect for walking around the tasting rooms. The main thing is not to get carried away.
And of course, Montenegro and Croatia are waiting for you with their friendly and hospitable residents and simply an incredible number of attractions and natural beauties. Water +25C, air +28C. It is even more pleasant that Russians do not need a visa to enter these countries. 
The cost of a flight from Moscow to Podgorica is from approximately 6,600 rubles according to the search from Avisales
The cost of accommodation is approximately from 550 rubles/day according to the search from Hotelloo
We should not forget about Israel. In addition to beach holidays and excursion programs, you can also improve your health at the Dead Sea resorts. 
The cost of a flight from Moscow to Tel Aviv, from approximately 5,500 rubles according to the search from Avisales
Current special offers from airlines
And of course remember that if Egypt and Tunisia are not the best countries to visit on your own, then Turkey, Spain, Italy, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and the rest of Europe have everything to make independent travel through them comfortable and unforgettable. True, we must admit that it is more expensive here than in Southeast Asian countries, especially in terms of tasty food. But is this an obstacle for those who go for the maximum number of vivid impressions?
Enjoy your holiday!
updated: April 27, 2017 by: Sergei
During peak season, your vacation destination depends on your budget and weather requirements.
Sunny and hot Cyprus
Cyprus is located south of Turkey, so the weather here in July is even hotter. The saving grace is that the island is better blown by the winds and the sun is not felt so strongly. Here tourists will find a large selection of hotels and a high level of service in them. Conditions for those who like to spend time on the beach and in the hotel bar are practically ideal. And the excursion part of the program leaves much to be desired.
Distinctive Croatia for romantics
Croatian resorts are in demand among couples and tourists who love to discover new places, but prefer to travel without children. The crystal clear Adriatic Sea provides tourists with ideal conditions for swimming, but the quality of the beaches is seriously inferior to its competitors along the coast - Italy. Most of them are narrow and pebble, which creates additional difficulties on vacation with children, but the sea is incredibly clean even at great depths.
There are quite a lot of castles, islands, and small attractions here, but only Plitvice Lakes and Dubrovnik can be singled out separately. From the northern resorts you can drive to Venice in 4 hours.
A holiday paradise in Tenerife
By the third decade of the month, the ocean washing the shores of Tenerife finally warms up. In July, even in the south of the island the temperature is usually no higher than 31º, and the cool breeze from the ocean creates comfortable weather conditions. Therefore, experienced tourists who value comfort on the street and a rich selection of entertainment and excursions are very fond of spending their holidays in Costa Adeje.
You will find unique landscapes, a volcano and a car route through the plateau, a killer whale show, the best water park in the world and many others. There is only one minus - the fairly high cost of package tours, because of which this destination is considered exotic for many. But if you get there on your own, then it’s quite possible to rent an apartment on your own in the southern resorts.
Why you should fly to Bali in midsummer
July and August are the peak weather months in Bali and other Indonesian resorts. At this time there is practically no rain here and it is not as hot and humid as in winter. In the evening you may even need a sweater and jeans. Warm sea, lack of rain, abundance of not hot sun - this is why most tourists come to the island. In this regard, there may be problems with finding housing. Air and water are approximately the same temperature +27..+28 degrees. By and large, for local residents it’s winter, but for Indonesians it’s cold – for our climate zone the weather is the most comfortable.
Cuba in July is comfortable and interesting!
Cuba is famous for its snow-white beaches, very warm sea and clear water. July is not considered the peak tourist season here. The reason is hot and fairly high humidity, which knocks you off your feet immediately upon arrival. Rains occur almost every day, but they are short-lived and powerful in nature. The rest of the time the weather is sunny and very hot, which Russian tourists love very much. Unlike other exotic destinations in Cuba, you will not find the rainy season and cloudy skies. But there is amazingly beautiful nature and excursions here, but visiting the latter in the middle of summer is not as comfortable as in the spring.
It is better to choose Trinidad or Varavero as resorts. It's not so hot, less humid, and therefore more comfortable!
Maldives - heavenly conditions in the rain
The Maldives are usually still of interest to wealthy romantics who have already seen half the world and the main requirement for a vacation is complete solitude. Getting lost on one of the 26 atolls in the Indian Ocean is easy. Due to its close location to the equator, weather fluctuations throughout the years are insignificant. But summer is the wet season in the Maldives. There is no need to expect any rainy season, prolonged rains or storms. But the likelihood that you will experience a couple of very heavy downpours during your vacation is quite high. For the same reason, visibility under water is deteriorating, so diving will no longer be much fun. And there is so little entertainment on the islands.
Mexico - visit the Aztecs
According to popular belief, the best time to travel to Mexico is from November to May. But the weather crisis, which occurs in September-October, is still far away. Therefore, in July it is quite possible to go on vacation to Mexican resorts. Of course, you should be prepared that a couple of days will be rainy and cloudy, but you are guaranteed to have a warm ocean (+29°) and quite hot weather. Unlike many other purely exotic beach destinations, Mexico is famous for its incredibly interesting and unusual excursion program that will brighten up any rainy day. Moreover, the rains here are very rarely prolonged.

Where to go inexpensively in July? TOP 5 best destinations
When choosing a place to fly on vacation, one of the decisive factors is the travel budget. Contrary to prevailing stereotypes, spending an inexpensive holiday at sea in July is quite a feasible task. You should focus on traditional budget areas, which we will describe in detail below: , Bulgaria , Greece , Montenegro And .
27 hour layover in Istanbul - we walk next to the Blue Mosque
The most popular holiday option on the warm sea in July was, is and will be, even despite the extreme temperatures. Visa-free, all inclusive and short flights are the key to mass demand.
The entire line of the Antalya coast, under the aggressive sun, heats up to +33°С...+35°С (it feels an order of magnitude higher), the Mediterranean Sea – up to +28°С. The weather is clear, no rain, but that's just not enough. Very humid stuffy and sticky .
The situation is slightly different on the Aegean coast: thanks to the low humidity and winds, the degrees are felt as they are - typical +32°C...+34°C, and the water is refreshing with its +24°C.
Where to go to the sea in Turkey? Tourists taught by “hot” experience recommend only the Aegean coast (Marmaris, Bodrum, Kusadasi) - at least there you can really relax on the beach, and not hide in a hotel. Although, when has the extreme heat stopped you from vacationing in good old Side, Kemer or Alanya, especially in the high season?
- For two, Türkiye in July 2019 – from 45,000 rubles for 7 days, all inclusive. Aegean coast – from 50,000
Bulgaria
Where to go to the sea in July and not get overwhelmed by the heat? In Bulgaria definitely the most comfortable weather . In mid-summer it is, of course, very warm here: the air temperature is +28°C...+30°C, and the sea reaches +24°C. Bulgaria in July is generally at its coolest; a month later or earlier it’s already cooler.
Judging by the reviews, one cannot remain indifferent to the country. Either it is included in the “inexpensive and worthy vacation - repeat” list, or in the “I do not recommend it to anyone”. Bulgaria's opponents are not satisfied with the Black Sea itself, the crowded conditions and outbreaks of infections during the season. Supporters counter that the whole problem is hygiene, and the combination of such a mild climate and sandy beaches cannot be found anywhere else.
Where is the best beach holiday in July? Albena is one continuous tourist reservation aimed at children, Golden Sands is a youth resort, Sunny Beach stands out for its number of hotels and all-inclusive services, Burgas stands out for its size and infrastructure, and people go to Pomorie to improve their health with therapeutic mud.
- You can fly to the seaside in Bulgaria in July from 42,000 rubles per week for two
Greece
Symi Island, Greece (excursion from Rhodes)
Where the season is in full swing in July is in Greece. Moreover, the season is hot, sultry, but not to the same extent as in Turkey - all because of the more benign climate.
However, if at the beginning of July the temperatures still somehow differ in different regions, then in the end the entire country experiences maximum heat. In air up to +35°С, in water +25°С…+26°С. Due to the low humidity it was still hot easier to tolerate .
It is recommended to spend a beach holiday in Greece in July on the islands of Crete, Rhodes, Kos. They are blown by winds that dilute the hot sun. You can also go the opposite way: on the greener Ionian Islands, Corfu and Chalkidiki, the shade of trees helps. But remember that a lot of vegetation = high humidity.
You will have to forget about daytime excursions in open spaces; even the beautiful Santorini will not “enter” in such weather. But, unlike the rest of Europe, you can have an inexpensive vacation in Greece.
- Minimum prices for tours to Greece in July 2019 – from 50,000 rubles for 7 nights for two without meals; from 60,000 rubles – breakfast + dinner
Montenegro
Kotor, Montenegro
In addition to Turkey, you can vacation abroad in July without a visa in Montenegro. And, moreover, relatively inexpensive.
However, this is by no means an alternative to the Turkish coast. Yes, there is a sea - the Adriatic - and the water temperature in it allows swimming - +25°C. But Montenegro is not included in the countries for beach holidays; it more for the soul – with nature, delicious cuisine and gentle sunshine. Therefore, more or less decent beaches have been occupied since June and amaze with the number of sunbathing bodies.
Searching for a tour, by the way, is not always relevant: sometimes it is more profitable to go on your own. Where? Tivat is the capital with developed infrastructure and cheap housing; Budva is a noisy, lively and crowded resort, and next to it are calmer Rafailovici and Becici, where you can find decent beaches. Ulcinj is known as the most distant, but the only city with a sandy coast.
- Tours to Montenegro in July 2019 cost from 55,000 rubles for 7 days for two
Where to go abroad for the azure color of the sea and golden sand? Cyprus has both available, in addition to the absence of hassle with a visa (done in 1-2 days).
However, what Cypriot resorts do NOT have in July is a favorable climate. It’s hot (+31°C…+34°C), too humid (which means we add more degrees according to how we feel) and nowhere to hide from the evil sun except in the room. But an undeniable plus is that you don’t have to get out of the +27-degree sea.
The best beaches, according to tourists, are in Protaras and Ayia Napa, but these places are inconvenient for excursions. Paphos and Larnaca, on the other hand, have a lot to do and walks, but the coastline is not the most impressive.

Where else can you relax abroad in July?
The list of possible vacation spots is by no means limited to the above-mentioned areas. From the reviews it follows that many tourists also like lesser-known resorts. There are many reasons: I don’t like the number of tourists, I’m not happy with the prices there. Where else to go to the sea in July?
Duomo Cathedral in Milan (they decided not to go up)
Italy is so hot in July that a beach holiday looks more attractive than an educational stroll.
The weather temperature is similar in all regions: +29°C...+31°C outside and +24°C...+26°C in the water. Let us note that Rome in July seemed tolerable to us, it was possible to live, but Milan, located much further north, is remembered as a place where it is better not to stick your head out at noon.
The best beach holidays in Italy - according to tourists' reviews - are in Sicily and Sardinia. You can spend a vacation for two in the Amalfi Islands, the island of Ischia or Liguria - picturesque and romantic. The region of Tuscany and Puglia are suitable for traveling with a child, and you can relax inexpensively in the most “Russian” resorts of the Adriatic Sea - Rimini and Riccione.
- In July, prices for holidays in Italy on a tour start from 65,000 rubles for 7 nights for 2 persons. Islands – from 80,000

Where to vacation abroad in July in the most interesting and “beachy” way possible? We are all for Spain - there are so many places to have fun, admire, and swim!
At the very beginning of July, the sea is not hot: the water temperature is an uncertain +23°C (with the exception of the Costa Blanca region). But after the 10th the weather is completely stable, +24°C...+25°C for swimming and +28°C...+30°C for walking. To be honest, in Barcelona in the middle of the month we felt a little uncomfortable under the sun, it felt stuffy.
The main headache with Spain is deciding where to go and choosing a resort. In short: holidays with children and friends who cannot stand the heat - on the islands (Mallorca, Tenerife); beautiful beaches, sea and a cool amusement park on the Costa Dorada (Cambrils, Salou); Barcelona is the ultimate concentration of aesthetics and summer sales, Costa Brava is generally an inexpensive region and cooler; well, the cheapest resorts in July are Lloret de Mar (for party-goers and beachgoers) and Calella (very close to Barcelona).

Portugal
Our trip to the edge of Europe in Porto
Places abroad where it is warm but not hot in July can be counted on one hand. One of them is Portugal, which is haunted by the ocean breeze.
Summer in the country begins from the 20th of June, and therefore July is not yet the peak of active sun. On average, the air temperature is about +25°С…+29°С, and the Atlantic Ocean indefinitely jumps from +17°С to +22°С. It's cool in the morning and evening, and even midday doesn't force you to hide in the shade.
Where to go? A beach holiday in Portugal in July can only be arranged in Madeira, which also has the warmest water (+22°C, however). Reviews from tourists also mention the Algarve region, where people go to enjoy the views of rocky grottoes and long beaches. Near Lisbon, people sunbathe in the resorts of Cascais and Estoril. The ideal scenario for getting to know Portugal is a tour of the capital and Porto, and then relaxation in Madeira.
Sochi
When talking about a beach holiday in July in Russia, first of all, they mean Sochi. In 2018, the resort became even more popular - the World Cup attracted crowds of fans. And after it ended, many stayed for a week to sunbathe. 🙂
Maldives
Surprisingly, you can also find inexpensive tours in July to the Maldives. Winter holidays on the paradise islands are amazing for the sums they shell out, but in the summer they cost much less.
This is understandable - the low season is coming. The weather does not change in terms of temperature, the same +31°C in the air and +29°C in the ocean. The likelihood of rain increases and, accordingly, humidity. With clear skies you can’t guess – you’ll either be lucky or not (but “no” usually lasts for an hour or two or at night).
The irony is that even at the height of the tourist season, the islands can burst into rain. So is it necessary to overpay for a slightly clearer forecast if the warm sea and bounty beauty are year-round? 🙂
- The cost of a trip to the Maldives in July 2019 is from 155,000 rubles per week for two (including breakfast)
Croatia
Nature in Croatia
Among the possible destinations for a beach holiday in July 2019, we note Croatia. The weather is quite calm and windless. Air temperature – from +28°С to +30°С, it is warmest in the southern resorts. The water stays in the range of +24°С…+25°С. You will enjoy Croatia in July with its good climate, turquoise sea and pine thickets right on the shore.
What will confuse a tourist? Beaches crowded with vacationers, which, for the most part, are either pebbly or concrete, and the discrepancy between the quality of hotels and the declared cost. The country, unfortunately, has long left the “inexpensive” category.
Middle Dolmatia - the towns of Brela and Makarska - are very popular in the season, because... The pebbles here are small. On the Istrian peninsula in Porec you can find cheap housing (and concrete instead of a beach), and in Rovinj and Umag you can find more expensive holidays, but also at a higher level.
- Prices for 7-day tours to Croatia in July start from 70,000 rubles for 2 people
Destinations for a holiday in July with a child
What does a child need from a holiday in July? Warm sea, familiar food and, of course, all kinds of entertainment. And for parents, so as not to worry - a short flight, gentle sun and availability of everything (from food to medical care).
So, where to go in July with a child?
- Albena, Bulgaria: a town where everyone enthusiastically makes Easter cakes on the beach or, in other words, the number 1 resort for families in the whole country. A varied children's table in hotels, shallow sea, a lot of greenery on the territory and tranquility at night.
