Be patriots and relax in Russia!
Andrey Alexandrov
We are clearly lucky with the planet: an amazing variety of climatic zones allows any individual to find a suitable vacation spot. Even if some people prefer forest thickets to pick mushrooms and hunt moose, others prefer stormy rivers, along which they can raft at the risk of their lives, and still others are looking for a better place to spend the winter in the summer and go to the mountains... And yet There is a type of vacation that attracts everyone, at least for a short time: a beach vacation. After all, in the hustle and bustle of everyday work, this is often what is missing: the opportunity to lie belly up and do nothing. And where else can you lie down without thinking about anything, if not under the gentle sun on the beach near the sea...
A holiday at sea is not only relaxation and relief from constant stress, but also health, joy and strength for new achievements.
In the northern hemisphere, you can only go on vacation to the sea in the summer. But we don’t live in the Middle Ages. Did you go on vacation in the winter? - let's go south, to the southern hemisphere, or where it's summer all year round - to the Caribbean or Seychelles. Therefore, at any time of the year, all that remains is to choose a place... and evaluate your financial capabilities. So, you're going on vacation. Where to go on a seaside holiday?
Where to relax in Russia in summer
Three summer months in Russia are considered the most popular. And our climate is such that in winter there is no time for beaches, and the vacation season for most citizens is in the summer, and most importantly, children have vacations in the summer.
First of all, it’s worth evaluating the simplest option: where you can relax in Russia.
In first place, of course, are the Black Sea resorts. Krasnodar region and Abkhazia have an undoubted advantage over Europe - they do not need to have a foreign passport and change money, the people there are ours, so there will be no problems with the language, the cuisine is familiar, and the mentality is... predictable. And most importantly, prices on Russian beaches are more or less acceptable.
From almost any corner of the European part of Russia to the Black Sea is a few hours of summer, and no one has canceled trains with cars. Warm sea, sun and beach - sandy, pebble, with colored shells... - what else do you need on a seaside holiday? The best months for vacation are July and August, but the season lasts much longer: from May to September-October. And if you can’t stand the heat, and your children have grown up long ago, go to the sea in the Velvet season- in the fall. This is the best time for romantics of all ages...
With service on Black Sea resorts, of course, not yet... not really. Often the buildings of sanatoriums and boarding houses were erected back in Soviet times, A local residents They strive to sell the sea and the sun at a higher price, without caring at all about creating comfortable conditions for vacationers. Political instability is also not conducive to the development of the resort business... However, there are changes for the better, very decent private boarding houses have already appeared, so... everything will happen. Some day.
The second most important resort sea is the Baltic. The service at the Baltic resorts is already an order of magnitude higher than at the Black Sea ones, but their main disadvantage is the water temperature: only by May the water warms up to 12-14 degrees, and even at the height of summer, water of 18-20 degrees is considered “warm”. But there are other pleasures that will make your vacation complete and unforgettable: long walks through pine forests, exploration of coastal cliffs and sea air. Russian Baltic resorts are located in Kaliningrad region: on the Curonian Spit, in Svetlogorsk and Yantarny.
Much wider choice sea resorts Abroad.
Where to go on a seaside holiday abroad in the summer
The most popular place summer holiday For Russians, to be not very far away and almost at home, of course, is the Mediterranean Sea. Resorts in Greece, Spain, France, Italy, not to mention the developed Turkey, are ready to receive any number of vacationers from May to October. There are no restrictions on the duration of the vacation, its comfort and the availability of entertainment: everything that your wallet can handle. A pleasant addition will be excursions to exotic places and shopping, and prices for many goods in Europe may be lower than here.
The Mediterranean Sea is not only Europe, but also Africa: Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt... Surfers love to go to Morocco, in Tunisia they explore the ruins of Carthage, destroyed before our era, during the Roman Empire, and everyone has known about the sights of Egypt since childhood: pyramids, ancient Thebes (Luxor) - the city of the pharaohs and the birthplace of the Sun God Amon, Alexandria, Sinai peninsula, Cairo and Port Said... It is worth spending time and money and going on excursions.
Far abroad provides even more opportunities for summer holidays. Maldives and Seychelles, resorts Caribbean and even the north South America ready to take you into their arms.
When is it winter in Russia?
It’s clear that a holiday at sea in the winter within Russia is only a so-so pleasure. In our very tropical region - Krasnodar - you won’t be able to swim in winter, even if the air temperature is up to +14...+16 °C.
The only way out is to go on a seaside holiday abroad in winter. Don’t think that you can only vacation in the southern hemisphere in winter. And in the northern part globe There are plenty of places where beach holidays in winter are commonplace. Moreover, in the winter months it can be even better there than in the summer - there is no sweltering heat. The UAE, Egypt and Thailand are much more attractive in winter, Indian Goa state with its popular beaches is also practically closed from May to November. Therefore, the Russian winter is the time to go swimming in the warm seas.
The nearest warm sea is the Red Sea. The cheapest holidays are in Egypt and Turkey, United Arab Emirates much more expensive, but the service is better there. Thailand and India are at approximately the same price level, but the Caribbean Sea: Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba will cost more. By the way, the Caribbean is ready to receive vacationers all year round, just like the resorts of California and southern Florida: these are regions where eternal summer reigns.
The world leaders in the resort business are, of course, islands located in the middle of the ocean in the equatorial zone: Hawaii in Pacific Ocean, Seychelles and Maldives in Indian, Canary Islands in the Atlantic, Bali resorts in Indonesia... Of course, it’s better not to go here with a thin wallet, but the level of service will be decent.
Well, about the real ones southern countries don't forget. When we have winter, it is summer in Australia or New Zealand. The islands of Madagascar and Mauritius, African Mozambique, beach resorts South America... - all this is at your service.
Regarding holidays at sea abroad in winter, there are several important points. Firstly, acclimatization. Getting from winter to summer seems so simple and pleasant. Imagine what it’s like to go back... You need to take care of warm clothes and precautions when getting off the plane: no bravado without a hat and a light jacket, otherwise you’ll be bragging about your impressions while lying in a hospital bed.
In addition, distant countries require long flights, and this is also stressful. Be extremely careful if you have heart problems or other chronic diseases: holidays abroad in winter can result in unpredictable complications. Then maybe it’s better to wait until summer and relax close to home.
Whatever time of year you choose, whatever countries you decide to explore - may you have good travel companions and unfailing luck next to you!
It’s already 2016, and while the exchange rate of the dollar and euro is breaking its next records, I’m increasingly asking myself where to go on vacation in 2019, so that it’s both interesting and inexpensive. Alas, even compared to 2015-2017, vacationing is becoming more and more expensive, and some countries have become completely inaccessible to Russians with average earnings.
About three years ago I already wrote an article on the topic, as well as. I repeat, now there are even fewer destinations, but there is still a choice! So, my thoughts and thoughts about vacation for 2019.
Beach holiday
Southeast Asian countries still remain accessible with some reservations. But you need to understand that most likely for the same money that you could spend 1-2 years, the standard of the hotel or apartment (house) will be lower, and after visiting a cafe, you will need to count each dish in rubles and only then place your order. Alas, Southeast Asia is already ceasing to be a downshifting region for Russia.
In Thailand, for example, the bill in a cafe will already start from 1000 rubles, and it will most likely be some kind of rice or noodles, soup and juice. But, I repeat, I think for fans of Southeast Asia, and in particular Thailand, this will not be a big problem.
If you successfully buy air tickets, you can relax even more inexpensively in poorer countries of Southeast Asia, for example, in the Philippines, Vietnam or Cambodia.

All countries except beach holiday, are quite interesting for tourism.
Prices for air travel to Southeast Asia:
Where to spend your holidays in spring 2019
Beach holiday
For a beach holiday in early spring, I could again recommend the countries of Southeast Asia, or India. The latter, by the way, will most likely come out even more budget-friendly, because... And the flight is less long and expensive in terms of money, and the country itself is very budget-friendly. In Southeast Asia, starting from March, there is already a decline in seasonality... prices in cafes are becoming lower, housing is cheaper, so, compared to winter, costs will also be lower.
If we talk about the end of spring, then we could go to Turkey or Egypt, but alas, they are this moment not available to our tourist. Although, personally, I was never particularly drawn to it :)
By the way, there is a rather exotic direction, like Latin America. By the way, in Brazil, their local currency collapsed in about the same way as the ruble, and this is almost the only country, besides Russia, where the national currency collapsed in such a way, in relation to the dollar and euro. Alas, cheap air tickets to this destination are quite difficult to get, so the availability of South America is already in question.
Excursion holidays
Starting from April, it is already quite pleasant and comfortable to spend your vacation in Europe... pleasant in terms of weather, but not very comfortable in terms of money. Last year at the end of April we went to Vienna and Prague for 10 days. What can I say... taking into account the slight strengthening of the ruble in the spring of 2015, the vacation cost 110,000 rubles for two. I think this year it would be 20-30 thousand rubles more expensive. However, if we consider a trip only to the Czech Republic, then I think even now you can go on a fairly budget!
Cheap air tickets for the spring holidays:
Costs in Prague were approximately 1.5 times lower than in Vienna. Although of course, ideally, it is better to visit both places. On this trip, Vienna was my favorite!
In the Czech Republic, I was very surprised by the cost of beer, which even in a cafe cost no more than 80 rubles for 0.5, and in terms of the current exchange rate, the cost would be 100 rubles. The beer is delicious and one of the best I've ever tasted in my entire life! And of course, views of Prague... walks through the Gothic quarter... it was great!
Where to relax at sea in summer 2019
Beach holiday
Beach holidays in summer are already available in Russia. You can come to us in the south, or remember the “wonderful” slogan “Crimea is ours”... you can go to the Caucasus, Abkhazia or Georgia... All these destinations remain available for recreation. If you look towards Europe, then you can relax on a relatively budget in Bulgaria, Romania... perhaps in Montenegro. I remember that we vacationed in Bulgaria in the summer for three years in a row. True, it was very cheap there then, but it’s still cheap now! Last year we also vacationed in Bulgaria, it was quite comfortable and affordable!
Excursion holidays
For lovers of active recreation, I think it would be very cool to spend time in Altai or Baikal. For many years now I have been wanting to choose a time to visit these places in our country. In addition, every year, judging by the reports seasoned tourists, the service in these directions is getting better and better. For urban tourism, the countries of Northern Europe are ideal in summer, but alas, this trip can no longer be called accessible to everyone. For example, which we successfully implemented two years ago, now we would hardly be able to handle it financially.
Cheap air tickets to Paris and other destinations:
Although if you cut down the number of days, perhaps something might work out...then the vacation turned out to be gorgeous!
Where to go on vacation in autumn 2019
Beach holiday
Until October, you can relax at Russian resorts, in Crimea, and, in principle, everywhere on the Black Sea. Closer to winter it is already quite comfortable in Southeast Asia or in India. Unfortunately, the number of new countries does not change much depending on the time of year, in the current situation... at least I can’t think of anything new, maybe someone has their own thoughts on this?..
Leisure
At the end of September 2015, we traveled around Romania and flew to Istanbul. The impressions from the trip were twofold... apparently we had just been to a lot of places before, and what we saw (about Romania) was not very impressive. Therefore, I don’t even know if I can recommend these directions. Istanbul, too, as they say, is a city of contrasts 🙂 it’s quite possible to consider it as a jump-off airport, but after 3-4 days of staying in the city, I personally already felt a little bored, and sometimes even a little heavy, from the number of people on the street and the constant bustle, I would even said, Moscow is resting in this regard.
Conclusion
I actually don’t know where to go on vacation in 2019. It’s expensive to go where you want... apparently you’ll have to come up with something, or save money and maybe just have a budget vacation somewhere at sea, for example in Bulgaria. We'll wait and see... if anyone has thoughts about the 2019 holiday, please speak up in the comments to the article.

Turkish and Egyptian resorts: the current situation
In connection with the terrorist attacks in Egypt and Turkey, in which hundreds of people died, the authorities of the Russian Federation have temporarily suspended flights to these countries. Many residents of the country are unhappy with this turn of events, because air tickets to these countries were sold out until March.
However, not so long ago, trips to Turkey were reopened for Russians. Whether to purchase tourist tours to Turkey or to refrain from doing so, everyone must decide for themselves, guided by the information that comes from the media.
Until today, it is impossible to say whether Egyptian resorts will be open for Russian tourists, so many travel agencies are changing tours to trips to Thailand.
It is worth noting that the authorities are doing everything possible to find and detain all those responsible for the terrorist attacks and prevent new terrorist acts.
