Inexpensive resorts on the Black Sea. Budget holiday at sea: the best options
Budget holiday the sea is the most pressing topic in the summer. You can organize a vacation for yourself not only in Russia, but also abroad.
About travel packages...
Independent trips to resorts are usually much cheaper than travel packages. But this rule does not always work. For a number of foreign destinations, it is sometimes cheaper to purchase a last-minute tour, the cost of which may even be lower than the flight. You can select such trips yourself on the appropriate resources.
Rules for finding a budget holiday
If you are planning to independently organize a budget holiday at sea for yourself, then you should be guided by the following rules:
- The first thing that will help you save cash- this is a refusal to rest during the high season. When planning a vacation, you should focus on the beginning or end of the season. For domestic resorts this is May, early June and September. Firstly, at this time there is no such noticeable heat, and secondly, the sea is warm. And the prices differ significantly. If swimming in the sea is not a fundamental issue for you, and you are ready to relax by the pool and go on excursions, then in countries such as Bulgaria and Turkey, you can relax economically from October to April. During this period, even the most luxurious hotels offer significant discounts, so holidays become much more affordable. Many foreign resort complexes have heated swimming pools, which save the situation when the sea is cold.
- If you want to spend a vacation in Bulgaria and Turkey, then you should opt not for half board, but for everyone’s favorite concept. Initially, it may seem to you that you are overpaying extra money, but in fact, purchasing drinks and food will cost you much more.
- In order to organize the most budget holiday at sea abroad, you need to purchase last-minute tours or use the service early booking.
- Don't forget that traveling alone is much more expensive than traveling with a group.
Sochi and Adler
Sochi and Adler are an obvious solution for a budget holiday at sea in Russia. Airplane tickets Moscow - Adler are relatively inexpensive - from about 5,800 rubles. The low-cost carrier Pobeda still operates flights in this direction. You can buy cheaper tickets from this company - from a thousand rubles, but it is worth considering that they are sold out quickly.
You can rent a house in Sochi from 20 dollars (1200 rubles), in Adler it is much cheaper - from 10 dollars (600 rubles). You can eat at the resorts in budget canteens.
In Sochi, inexpensive rooms are offered by the three-star hotels “Rose of the Winds” and “Valentin”; the cost of a double room in them will cost 3,000 and 3,200 rubles per day. For a resort, such prices can be considered quite affordable. Both establishments have a good location - in the very center of the city.
The two-star complex “Nairi” offers double rooms with a balcony for 2,700 rubles. The hotel has a sauna, bar, massage, swimming pool and much more.
Fans of comfortable rooms and good service can recommend the four-star establishments Park Inn by Radisson and Zhemchuzhina; a stay in them per day will cost 4,600 and 5,200 rubles, respectively.
Accommodation in Adler
For those planning a budget holiday at sea in Russia, Adler may be an ideal option. The resort has not only expensive hotels, but also quite budget establishments and even guesthouses. The choice of housing is quite large. Among the proven hotels, we can recommend the three-star Almira (3,000 rubles) with excellent rooms and good service, and the more expensive Vesna complex (5,000 rubles), which has the most positive reviews and excellent infrastructure (swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts, massage).
Accommodation in four-star hotels in Adler will cost a little more. "AS-Hotel" offers double apartments from three thousand rubles. This is a fairly budget option, since in more famous establishments rooms cost from seven thousand rubles.
Crimea
Speaking about a budget holiday at sea with children, it is worth paying attention to Crimea. In 2017, the cost of a Moscow-Simferopol plane ticket will cost about 7,000 rubles, and in the fall and spring it will be even cheaper. From Simferopol you can get to any resort on the peninsula.
Budget meals in Sudak, for example, will cost 200-300 rubles in a canteen (dinner, lunch, breakfast). If you want to order food in restaurants, then the amount of food expenses will increase to 500 rubles.
The most affordable seaside holiday in Russia can only be achieved if you live in the private sector. In Crimea, for example, you can choose small villages for recreation - Olenevka, Nikolaevka, Shtormovoe. In such places in guest houses you can find rooms for even three hundred rubles per day. On larger and famous resorts prices are higher. The minimum cost of living increases to 600 rubles per room. The average cost of living in 2017 in the private sector starts from a thousand rubles for a double apartment. In general, the villages can be safely considered as a budget holiday on the Black Sea with children.
As for food, as a budget option you can consider various snack bars and canteens, national cafes, canteens in guest houses with home cooking, and fast food establishments. Remember that the further you move from the coast, the lower the prices for food. In canteens and inexpensive cafes you can eat for two hundred rubles, and in an inexpensive restaurant for no less than 400 rubles. Food prices are more affordable in small resort villages. Accommodation and food in Yalta will cost much more than in other places, although budget places can be found here too.
Resorts of the Azov Sea
Budget holidays on the Azov Sea can be offered in the villages of Peresyp, Kuchugury and Ilyich. These small villages have good sandy beaches and little developed infrastructure. Here you can find accommodation mainly in guest houses and the private sector.
It will cost a little more to stay in the villages of Golubitskaya and Yeisk, which have fairly decent hotels, an embankment, a cafe and a park. The village of Golubitskaya also has a well-developed infrastructure. There is night club, water attractions, mini-hotels and Renting a house in the village of Ilyich in 2017 will cost 1.5-3 thousand rubles, in Taman and Peresyp - up to 2.5 thousand rubles, and in the village of Golubitskaya - up to 6 thousand rubles. Accommodation in the private sector costs on average 250-600 rubles per day per person.
Resort villages Sea of Azov not so developed, but incredibly convenient for families with children. The warm, shallow sea is the best place for kids.
Italy
If you are looking for options for a budget holiday at sea in European countries, then you should pay attention to Italy. From Moscow you can take cheap tickets to the main cities of the country - Milan, Rome, Venice. The cost of a flight to these destinations is always cheaper (from 9,000 rubles) than to small towns. And you can get directly to the resorts by local buses.
A budget holiday at sea in Italy can be organized at one of the most famous resorts - Rimini. Of course, accommodation in local hotels cannot be called cheap - from $35 per room per night, but such offers are quite rare. On average, you should aim for 50-100 dollars per day. As for meals, the minimum cost for breakfast is $4, lunch is $7, and dinner is over $10.
It is worth noting that Rimini is known for its beaches and warm, shallow water, so the resort is perfect for a budget seaside holiday with children. The resort has a well-developed infrastructure and a good choice hotels for every taste and budget. Rimini is also popular among young people.
Bulgaria
In Bulgaria, you can organize the most budget holiday on the Black Sea abroad, which is why all local resorts are incredibly popular among tourists. Sunny Beach is considered the most democratic place to relax. The fine sand on the beaches and the gentle entrance to the sea have long been loved by supporters of beach and sea holidays. The coast is about forty meters wide, and it stretches eight kilometers in length. In modest hotels you can rent a small room for $19 per night.
An even more budget-friendly holiday on the Black Sea can only be found in small Bulgarian seaside villages and towns. In such areas there are many two- and three-star hotels, as well as guest houses in the private sector. Local residents often rent out the upper floors of their houses to tourists. Holidays in Kranevo, Balchik, Nessebar, Sveti Vlas, Pomorie, Ravda and Tsarevo can be economical.
Sometimes tours to Bulgarian resorts can be purchased at very affordable prices (from 20 thousand rubles). And promotional offers can be even more attractive. And this despite the fact that the tour price includes accommodation, flights, insurance and transfer.
Bulgaria is interesting to many travelers because it offers budget holidays at sea in September. At this time, the air temperature drops to +25 degrees, there is no summer heat and heat, and the sea water remains warm.

Croatia can offer a budget holiday at sea abroad. The cost of a round trip ticket from Moscow to Dubrovnik, Pula or Split is 13 thousand rubles. In such well-known hotels, prices are quite high. You can rent an economy room for $30. And, for example, in Dubrovnik you will have to pay at least 40 dollars for a night in a guesthouse, and the establishment will be located far from historical center. Room rates in four-star hotels start at $130.
If you consider small towns, such as Plat and Cavtat, as a holiday destination, you can save a lot. Resort villages offer clear seas, clean air and beautiful beaches on the Adriatic coast. What else do you need for a vacation with kids?
Cyprus
Cyprus can also be considered as a place for a budget holiday at sea in the summer. The cost of a flight from Moscow to Larnaca in the summer is about 10,600 rubles. Pobeda airlines now fly to Cyprus. Sometimes flying to a country can be incredibly inexpensive, especially if you are lucky enough to take advantage of a promotion from one of the airlines. But saving on accommodation in Cyprus is not so easy. The most budget rooms in Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos cost at least $33 per night. On average, the cost of hotel rooms ranges from 40-60 dollars.
Meals at an inexpensive establishment will cost up to $50 per day per person. For those who want to save money, we can recommend purchasing food in supermarkets. As a budget option, you can rent a studio with a kitchen, then you will have the opportunity to greatly reduce food costs.
Greece
A more budget-friendly option for a seaside holiday, unlike Cyprus, can be organized in Greece. A flight from Moscow to Athens or Thessaloniki will cost approximately 8,800 rubles. But tickets to Corfu, Crete and Rhodes are much more expensive (12,000 rubles).
Accommodation in the most inexpensive hotel in Thessaloniki will cost about $25 per day for a double apartment, in Crete - $29. But in Rhodes you can find cheaper establishments; for $17 they will offer you a completely acceptable room.

Where to relax - searching for budget options
Looking for inexpensive option Holiday tourists mainly pay attention to the cost of staying in a hotel in the chosen country and the type of food, missing another important factor - the road. Thus, the final price of some trips increases by half or even more after recalculation taking into account the cost of tickets.
When considering the available offers, 3 main indicators are assessed:
- travel;
- nutrition;
- housing.
There is often a misconception that a holiday in Russia is more affordable than a trip abroad. Many resorts are comparable in price to leading European countries, but inferior in quality of service. In the vastness of our homeland there are also places where a foreign tourist would not dare to go, but a Russian will get a lot of impressions and pleasure.
Holidays in Russia
The advantage of holidaying in your own country is that there is no need to buy a tour. Tickets can be ordered through promotions or exchanged for existing bonuses.
The issue of accommodation can really be resolved on the spot and choose an option that suits you in terms of price and quality ratio: hotel, private sector, camp site and so on.
The cost of food is also regulated: cooking on your own takes energy and precious time, but will significantly reduce the cost of your budget. Cafes and canteens will be an affordable option, restaurants will be the most sophisticated and most expensive.
Black Sea resorts
The former all-Union health resort remains popular among Russians and residents of neighboring countries. Just a couple of decades ago great holiday was considered a “savage trip”, a barracks with amenities on the street.
Today, the Black Sea resorts offer guests international-level hotels with high quality service, mini-hotels and home hotels.
You can save significantly on tickets if you use the services of low-cost airlines - budget airlines that fly to airports Krasnodar region and Crimea.
Sochi
The cost of a flight from the capital will cost an average of 6,000 rubles one way per person; the low-cost carrier Pobeda has a lower ticket price - from 1,000 rubles, but they sell out very quickly.
The most budget-friendly vacation option would be to rent housing in the private sector, visit canteens, or cook your own food. In this case, accommodation will cost approximately 1,300 rubles per day.
For those who appreciate a more comfortable stay, there are 2 and 3 star hotels with cozy rooms. A double standard costs from 3,000 to 3,500 rubles per day. There are also prestigious hotels with 4 stars, but the price per room ranges from 5000-5500 rubles.
The advantage of hotels is their location and list of services provided. Baths, saunas, massage rooms, swimming pools, gyms located on the territory of the complexes improve the quality of relaxation.
It is worth considering that Sochi is a year-round resort. You can come here in winter to ski and meet with a large group of people New Year, spend Christmas holidays with family.
Adler
Adler is a popular resort on the Black Sea coast, where you can get to from Moscow (since most Russian tourists go on vacation from here) for the same cost as in Sochi, and relaxation is more economical.
Accommodation is available to suit any budget. There are offers from expensive comfortable hotels with an expanded complex additional services and from economy housing in the private sector, which will cost 600 rubles per day. A double room in a hotel, depending on the number of stars on its roof, will cost from 3,000 to 8,000 rubles.
Adler is rightfully considered an excellent option family vacation: It is affordable and has plenty of entertainment.
Crimea
The peninsula is ideal for a beach and active holiday, on your own, as a couple or with children. An air flight to Simferopol costs an average of 7,000 rubles in summer; ticket prices are lower in autumn and spring. Trolleybuses and trains run from the airport to all coastal cities.
Tourists eat in local cafes and canteens; the average bill per person is 200-500 rubles, depending on the place of the meal. Affordable housing is easy to find in the villages of Olenevka, Nikolaevka and others, where prices start from 300 rubles per day.
It will take a little longer to get to the beach than when staying in first- and second-line hotels, but the beauty of the Crimean nature and the savings will compensate for this shortcoming.
If you wish, you can not limit yourself to lying on the beach, but take excursions to the mountains, wine cellars, visit architectural monuments, water parks and many attractions that are easily accessible from any city.
Gelendzhik
People vacation here mainly from May to October, but boarding houses and sanatoriums are open all year round. The beaches are pebbly or sandy, 80% of them are free.
Gelendzhik is one of the most popular and famous cities on the coast, so you can’t count on low prices. Lunch in the canteen costs 300-600 rubles, and a visit to the restaurant costs at least 1,500 rubles, excluding alcoholic beverages. It is cheaper to buy food in chain supermarkets and cook at home.
Accommodation can be found both in private holiday homes and in modern hotels. In the first case, you will have to pay from 1,200 rubles per day (far from the sea) to 2,000 rubles (on the coast). In the second - from 3,500 rubles per day for accommodation in a three-star hotel.
A flight from Moscow during peak season costs about 9,000 rubles.
Anapa
This city is famous for the best beaches on the Black Sea. Like Gelendzhik, it welcomes guests for spa treatment all 12 months, but the season lasts from May to October.
Boarding houses, thanks to the funding of the last eight years, have ceased to be a place of rest for older people. SPA centers, heated swimming pools and modern gyms attract young people in winter and autumn.
For a holiday with children, it is better to come in June or September - the sea is warm, but there is no stifling daytime heat. These same months will help make your vacation economical.
There are many hotels in the city, but when planning a family vacation, you should specify the age of the child: some hotels do not accept guests with children under 4 years old.
Average prices per night for accommodation:
- for a double room in a 3-4 star hotel on the first line - 6000-9000 rubles;
- mini-hotels on the shore - 2000-4000 rubles;
- second line sanatoriums (including breakfast) - from 1000 rubles;
- private sector near the sea - 200-500 rubles per guest.
Some hotels practice an all-inclusive food system; when staying at a sanatorium, you can count on breakfast or three full meals a day.
Those living in the private sector prefer to cook on their own and buy food from chain stores. For those who don’t want to stand at the stove while on vacation, locals will recommend canteens where a business lunch or a set lunch will cost 150-200 rubles; in a cafe, these dishes cost an average of 500 rubles, and a visit to a restaurant costs 2,000 rubles without alcohol.
Resorts of the Azov Sea
The shallow and warm Sea of Azov is ideal for a holiday with small children.
Most cheap option vacation - rental housing in coastal villages: there is practically no entertainment and cafes here, but environmentally friendly, natural products, unique nature and good beaches are present in abundance.
As on Black Sea coast, it’s easy to get here by car or get there by train to Yeysk, and then by local transport. Or fly to Rostov-on-Don (a round-trip flight will cost about 10,000 rubles).
Rent a private house for a week will cost 1500-3000 rubles, you will have to cook it yourself.
The cost of housing in the villages of Golubitskaya and Yeysk is slightly higher - no less than 6,000 rubles. However, there are already hotels, parks, cafes and entertainment attractions here.
Altai
Tourists prefer to travel not only to the south to warm seas, but also in scenic spots north, one of which is the Altai Mountains.
This is a holiday for active people: in winter it is popular skiing, during the rest of the year:
- rafting;
- horseback riding;
- mountaineering;
- cycling and hiking.
The easiest way to get there is by plane to Barnaul or Novosibirsk, and then by bus or transfer travel companies(only in summer time). It is preferable to use the services of the latter when traveling to the mountains, since drivers know the local rocky, uneven roads well, and with a personal car there is a high probability of getting stuck or falling into a ditch.
Average cost of a direct flight from Moscow:
- Gorno-Altaisk - 20,000 rubles;
- Barnaul - 14,000 rubles;
- Novosibirsk - 7,000-10,000 rubles.
From Barnaul and Novosibirsk to Gorno-Altaisk or Biysk you will have to travel by train and bus (600-1000 rubles) or by train (500-600 rubles).
- Chemal;
- Nizhnyaya Katun;
- Turquoise Katun.
Housing prices depend on the type of accommodation chosen. So, if you have your own tent, this expense item will be zero; you will have to pay for local service:
- renting a house in the private sector with a bathhouse, barbecue and shower - from 600 rubles per person per day;
- cottage (depending on size and conditions) - from 1200 to 7000 rubles per person per day;
- organized camping - 300-400 rubles per day.
You can eat in cafes and restaurants (if meals are not included in the rental price of the cottage); lunch per person costs 300-500 rubles.
Another item of expense when vacationing in Altai is excursions, without which traveling to this region makes no sense. Their cost starts from 500 rubles and can reach several thousand. In the presence of personal car they will cost quite cheap, but subject to visiting lowland attractions.
Karelia
This is a unique region of forests and lakes where you can relax all year round. In winter, skiing, dog sledding and sledding are popular activities. In summer - fishing, river rafting, horseback riding, berry and mushroom picking. Favorite holiday destinations for tourists are the islands of Valaam, Kizhi, Solovki, and Lake Ladoga.
It is preferable to be located on tourist centers or in cottage houses, the rental of which will cost 2000-5000 or 10,000-15,000 rubles, respectively.
Services depend on the type of recreation center and its price; additional services include:
- baths or Finnish saunas;
- ATVs;
- catamarans;
- tennis courts;
- barbecues;
- bicycle rental and more.
It is more convenient to get to Petrozavodsk, the closest point from which tours around Karelia begin, from St. Petersburg. The price of a train ticket is about 600 rubles, after which local transport routes operate.
Almost all guest complexes have cafes or restaurants, but there are also shops offering a wide range of products for preparing your favorite dishes.
If you have your own transport, you will be able to save on all excursions, and if you have a tent, you will also be able to save on accommodation. However, in the latter case, it is worth stocking up on repellents, since midges and mosquitoes are permanent inhabitants of Karelian forests.
Seliger
Vacations on this lake have been popular for several decades. The best place for a budget holiday - a tent on the sandy shore in the company of other tourists. The only problem during the season will be a shortage of firewood and a lack of food in the shops of the villages located near the spontaneous campsite.
Those who like a comfortable holiday should rent a private house or stay at a recreation center. Comfortable houses are suitable for families, spacious cottages are suitable for large groups.
Rent will cost 900 – 1,500 rubles per day for a place in a house or 9,000 rubles for using a two-story cottage. The price of your stay sometimes includes breakfast, you have the opportunity to cook yourself or visit the dining room (average bill - 500 rubles per person).
It is more convenient to get to Seliger by personal transport. In his absence, take the train to Bologoe, and then take a taxi. Ticket prices start from 700 rubles.
Rybinsk Reservoir
A good option for an affordable vacation with children for those who cannot afford a trip to the sea or want to spend a weekend by the water. There are about 40 recreation centers and guest complexes here; lovers of an active and extreme lifestyle can get by with staying in tents.
Renting a room will cost on average 800-1200 rubles, a house - 2500-5000 rubles, a comfortable cottage - 8000-12,000 rubles.
In Rybinsk itself there are hotels, bars and discos, many cafes and restaurants. For lunch for one person you will have to pay about 600 rubles, if you order a set, the price will be halved for the same dishes.
Tourists prefer to cook themselves - the range of shops located near the tourist centers allows this.
If you don’t have a personal car, the easiest way to get there is by train (1,200 rubles) or bus (from 880 rubles).
Tours abroad
If without a foreign passport the scope of the vacation territory is limited to Russian Federation, then if it is available, the whole world becomes accessible.
It is more convenient to buy a comprehensive package tour, including:
- round trip flight;
- accommodation in a hotel of the selected category;
- nutrition;
- airport transfer;
- health insurance.
Nowadays, many tourists prefer to vacation without intermediaries, that is, book a hotel on their own, choose a flight, believing that such a vacation is more profitable. This is not always true.
Thus, it is really cheaper to travel to European countries without the help of travel agencies, but it is still more convenient to purchase trips to exotic countries, since the flight often costs 2-3 times more than food and accommodation services, which is reflected in the final cost of the vacation.
Important details:
- Traveling alone is more expensive than traveling with two or a large group, since almost 90% of hotel rooms are double.
- Some countries require expensive tourist visa.
Abkhazia
Although the cost of holidays has become higher in recent years due to the actively developing tourism industry, it will still be possible to have an inexpensive holiday in Abkhazia.
You can get here without a visa in two ways:
- fly by plane to Adler (5000-7000 rubles), and then get there by bus or train;
- go by train to Sukhumi (3000 rubles for a seat in a reserved seat).
It is cheaper to live in the private sector, but you need to be prepared not only for the lack of service, but also for basic amenities: cleanliness, a toilet in the house.
The cost starts from 1,000 rubles for a house and 2,000 rubles per day for an apartment, but such housing is located far from the sea. An alternative is budget hotels priced at about 1,500 rubles. There are also good 3-4 star hotels, accommodation will cost 3500-5000 rubles per day.
Food will take up the lion's share of the vacation budget. Low prices in Abkhazia only for seasonal fruits and vegetables, other products are imported and expensive.
Lunch or dinner in a cafe costs 500 rubles per person, breakfast - about 200 rubles. In canteens and if there is a business lunch, this price can be half that price. An important nuance is unsanitary conditions in cheap establishments, so when eating in them, you should be prepared for some health problems.
Montenegro
The Balkan Riviera is a great place for a family holiday. There are no luxury hotels, night discos or concerts of domestic stars, but this is more than compensated for by the clear sea and secluded beaches, unique nature and interesting sights. A visa is not required for a holiday of 60 days.
A flight to Tivat or Podgorica is available - even during the peak season, August, the price for tickets with a transfer will be about 4,200 rubles, a direct flight in both directions will not exceed 16,000 rubles.
The private sector on the Adriatic Sea offers houses from 900 rubles per day, large apartments with renovation - from 3,500 rubles. If you book in advance, the owners will give you a discount.
A room in a 2-3 star hotel on the second line with an all-inclusive food system costs from 3,500 rubles per day, expensive first-line hotels offer accommodation in the range of 7,700-9,800 rubles.
If you eat in a cafe, you should focus on the following prices (per person excluding alcohol):
- breakfast - 300 rubles;
- lunch and dinner - 600-1000 rubles.
Restaurants will cost 1.5 times more.
Türkiye
This country has been leading the ranking of the most budget-friendly foreign resorts for more than 10 years.
Except clean beaches Black and Mediterranean seas, tourists are attracted by the opportunity to:
- view historical monuments;
- receive high service;
- successfully combine shopping and relaxation.
A tourist visa is issued at the airport and is included in the price of the package tour, which in this case is the most profitable type of trip.
So, a week’s vacation will cost 250-350 dollars per person, and if you buy a “last minute trip” it will easily cost 50 thousand rubles for two. A 14-day tour during the season will cost 1000-15000 conventional units, in the fall - half as much. All this with your favorite All Inclusive food system.
Thailand
Like Türkiye, this exotic country is quite accessible Russian tourists, and the service there is not inferior to popular resorts abroad. The season begins in October-November and ends in January, so the cheapest trips are in April and May.
A flight to Thailand for a week will cost $750-850 when purchasing a tour. If you vacation without the services of a tour operator, then renting an apartment per month in the center of Pattaya will cost an average of $400.
You won’t be able to spend more than a hundred on food, since for 3-4 dollars you can have a great meal for two in any local cafe. Housing outside the city or on the islands costs 2 times cheaper - 150-200 dollars per month.
All you have to do is find the cheapest flight, and then for the same thousand dollars you will be able to relax not for a week, but for a whole month.
Georgia
People come here all year round and at the same time get 3 types of recreation:
- nautical;
- ski;
- mud therapy
Buying a tour is cheaper - $450-500 for 8 days per person with meals and accommodation, but it limits the opportunity to travel around the country, where you can swim in the warm sea in the morning and conquer the mountain slopes in the evening.
An alternative is to rent a car, allowing you to view beautiful cities and the beauty of nature, and accommodation in private hotel houses or tourist centers.
Renting a furnished room or small apartment will cost about 2,000 rubles per day in winter and 3,500-4,000 in summer.
Food prices are the most affordable: dinner at good restaurant with alcohol it rarely exceeds 1,200 rubles per person, and in cafes and canteens prices are much lower. In every city there are many fast food outlets with national dishes that can become worthy competitors to popular establishments. Even with the most wasteful diet, you won’t be able to spend more than $300 on food in 10 days.
A round-trip direct flight from Moscow to Tbilisi will cost $250, with transfers - $15-180. The country is considered visa-free.
Italy
This is one of the relatively low-cost European countries where you can fly for 3-4 days or a week, if you can buy cheap air tickets.
It is more profitable to purchase a flight to Rome or Milan - their prices are reduced due to shopping lovers (about 10 thousand rubles), and then get there by local transport.
The most affordable holiday in Rimini - hotel accommodation with breakfast will cost 75-100 dollars per day. If you are lucky and manage to take a last minute tour, the cost will drop to $40. Lunch costs 5-7 dollars per person, dinner - 10-12.
Egypt
The third popular destination is Turkey and Thailand, where a week of all-inclusive vacation will cost $250-300 per person.
Additionally, it is worth including the costs of excursions, without which a vacation in Egypt for a domestic tourist cannot be considered complete - Sphinxes, pyramids and Luxor.
Bulgaria
The most inexpensive type of holiday abroad, popular among tourists in the post-Soviet space. Calm sea and sandy beaches Sunny Beach- an ideal place for a joint vacation with small children or elderly parents, as the level of service here is higher than at domestic resorts.
There are many modest hotels in Bulgaria, where a double room will cost about $20 per night. If you stay in the private sector, the price for accommodation will drop to 15-18 dollars.
Thanks to early booking or purchasing a last-minute tour, a ten-day vacation with three meals a day, flights and accommodation in a 3-4 star hotel will cost 20-22 thousand rubles. Approximately the same prices for standard tours are valid during the high season.
To travel, you must obtain a visa in advance, and an independent flight from Moscow to Sofia will cost 5,000-7,000 rubles.
Croatia
This country also boasts budget holiday offers.
So, air tickets to Dubrovnik, Split or Pula will cost 14 thousand rubles in both directions, and the cheapest room in a mini-hotel is 30-40 dollars per day, but its location will be far from the sea and the historical center. The cost of rooms in 4-5 star hotels starts from $130.
The alternative is to negotiate with local residents in coastal villages that happily rent out rooms to tourists for $250-300 a week.
It is better to eat in cafes and konobas - restaurants with local traditional cuisine. The further you are from the city center, the lower the prices in establishments. Breakfast on average costs 4-5 euros, and lunch or dinner costs 20 euros per person.
A visa is required for Croatia; you should arrange for it in advance.
UAE
It’s difficult to call this destination cheap, but you can save on a trip to the Emirates by purchasing a last-minute tour or early booking. The number of air carriers in the country is growing, which is reflected in the cost of travel packages, but even this advantage will not allow you to save on an independent trip.
There are no cheap hotels and hostels in the country, food prices are high, so even if you find cheap plane tickets, you won’t be able to reduce the cost of housing and food.
The price for a standard 7-day tour ranges from 600-700 dollars per person, which is cheap for this country. Hunters for hot deals or those tourists who will not refuse to stay in a three-star hotel on the second line will pay less.
Another plus is that since 2017 you can apply for a visa directly upon arrival at the airport.
Cyprus
Package tours are also popular here, but meals in hotels only include breakfast and dinner, and sometimes only a morning meal. Ticket prices are reasonable - a flight to Larnaca with classic airlines will cost 11 thousand rubles, with low-cost airlines it will cost half as much.
However, find budget hotel not easy - the cheapest hotels do not have rooms cheaper than $35 per night, and the average price is $45-65.
To this it is worth adding food, which in local cafes will cost $50 per person per day. An alternative is to rent a studio with a kitchen and buy groceries in a supermarket, which will reduce this part of the budget by a third. A visa to Cyprus is issued upon arrival.
Greece
A holiday in this country will be cheaper than in Cyprus: a flight to Thessaloniki or Athens will not exceed 9,000 rubles. A room in a good hotel costs 25-30 dollars per night. There are hotels on Corfu for 18-20 dollars, but air tickets there are almost 3,000 rubles more expensive.
Food is cheap - the daily budget per person rarely exceeds 17-20 dollars, a week's vacation will cost an average of 320-370 conventional units.
An important nuance is that a visa is required, which should be obtained in advance.
Vietnam
One of the cheapest exotic countries, where a daily budget of $20 allows you to enjoy all its delights without restrictions. This amount includes accommodation, meals, visits to classic and even unusual excursions.
A visa is not required for visiting the country for up to 15 days. The most expensive item in your vacation budget will be the flight: a direct flight from Moscow (9-10 hours in the air) costs 28-32 thousand rubles, choosing a route with a transfer will save 5-8 thousand.
India (Goa)
You can have a cheap soak in the Indian Ocean at any time of the year, but even during the high season (it begins in the winter months), vacation prices are affordable, especially if you choose the northern territories of the country for your vacation.
A package tour will cost an average of $400, cost independent rest depends on the rental housing: room prices range from 8 to 500 conventional units per day.
The local cuisine is tasty and varied, but it is better to check the cost of dishes before ordering. The average bill per person is 300-500 rubles for a full meal.
A visa to visit the country must be issued in advance. The average cost of a flight from Moscow is 22 thousand rubles.
In order for a budget holiday in an exotic country or at the resorts of your native country to be remembered only by positive impressions, it is worth paying for it and thinking through it in advance, having studied everything possible options accommodation, food and travel.
It is advisable to add another 25-30% of the result obtained to the maximum amount - this will be a reserve for unforeseen circumstances, necessary on any trip. If the trip goes according to plan, then the amount can be an excellent bonus for purchasing an unusual excursion, a memento, or the basis for your next trip.

In order not to make a mistake in your choice or spoil your vacation impressions, approach the issue carefully. There are many Russian resorts with developed infrastructure, good level of service and affordable prices. So, where to go to the sea in Russia?
Popular beach resorts
Summer is the ideal time to relax in Russia. In almost all regions of the country, warm summer, sunny weather already sets in in July. Holidays in your home country have a number of advantages. These are knowledge of the language and relative cheapness, economical travel expenses. It is also worth considering that you can go to all resorts without a passport. Intermediary services can amount to 20% or more of the cost of the trip. Therefore, despite the fact that tourism industry offers Russians a choice a large number of places for an interesting pastime; going on vacation on your own is always cheaper and more interesting. So where to go on holiday at sea in Russia? On the territory of our country, the main places beach holiday are considered Azov and Caspian Sea, as well as the Black Sea coast. You can fully spend your vacation in Leningradskaya and Kaliningrad regions on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, and Baltic Sea.
Crimea
It is best to travel to the peninsula on your own. It is easy to get here, finding accommodation is very simple, convenient and there is no language barrier. Based on your preferences, you can create a route, because everyone here will find activities and places to their liking. The swimming season opens in June, air temperature +25, water +18-20 degrees. If you are deciding where to go to the sea in June, Russia offers different variants. For example, in the Sea of Azov the water warms up faster, so those who like to swim should go to Shchelkino or Kerch at the beginning of summer. Already in July, almost all the beaches of Crimea are crowded, the water is completely warmed up and the high season begins. Holidays on the peninsula are suitable primarily for those who prefer to spend all their time on the beach, sunbathing and swimming. In August, the weather for a beach holiday is ideal, but since most people come to relax on the peninsula in the last month of summer, the situation is somewhat darkened. As a result of the large influx of tourists, prices for everything become high, transport is overcrowded, the water is dirty, and there is a lot of garbage. In addition, do not plan your return from vacation for the last days of the month; many try to return in time for the beginning of the school year, this creates traffic jams at the crossing to Kerch.
Sochi
If you are planning a trip to Russia, where else to go if not to Sochi. The Black Sea calls to its shores those who want to have a good vacation all year round. The best months for a holiday here are mid-June, July, August and September. Despite the high air temperature, in May and June the sea does not warm up by more than 17-19 degrees, so swimming can cause great discomfort. The resorts of Sochi are popular among our compatriots; there are many recreation options: diving, fishing, wild beaches, water parks and much more. Hotels in Sochi can be found for every budget: both budget and expensive four- and five-star ones. For example, in the two-star Nairi hotel, a double room will cost 2,700 rubles per day. If you prefer high-quality service and are thinking about where to go to the sea in Russia, feel free to choose Sochi. The entertainment infrastructure and equipped embankments are well developed here. You can stay in the famous Zhemchuzhina complex; a simple double room with breakfast will cost 5,200 rubles.
Gelendzhik
It has the longest coastline in the world and is one of the five most visited resort cities in Russia. For vacationers, Gelendzhik is attractive due to its low prices, decent level of service, and all kinds of entertainment, including water parks, a safari park and other types of recreation. The beaches here are protected from cold currents and storms, and the water is very clean. Also, if you are deciding where to go to the sea in Russia in the summer to relax and improve your health, Gelendzhik has excellent medical facilities. The complex of health procedures includes sea baths, mineral springs, hardware inhalations with sea water and much more, all this comes in combination with a beneficial mountain subtropical climate. The resort stretches along more than 100 km and includes three large villages: Arkhipo-Osipovka, Kabardinka, Divnomorskoye. They are similar to Gelendzhik and, one might say, are a smaller copy of it - they provide a large number of cafes and places to relax.
Adler
Where is the best place to go to the sea in Russia? If you are going on vacation with children, then, of course, go to Adler; in recent years it has turned into a real aqua world. Hotels and holiday homes coexist with water parks and water attractions that will appeal to every child. The resort is also suitable for youth recreation. It is famous for its rich entertainment facilities, its developed infrastructure is very similar to Sochi and its delightful climate at any time of the year. The beaches of Adler are pebbly and sandy-pebble, the central embankment is replete with cafes, pizzerias and bars. Holidays here are inexpensive; you can have lunch for as little as 250 rubles. Beach season lasts from late spring to October. When choosing where to go to the sea in Russia, the advantage in favor of this place is its convenient location. Most tourists can get here by plane, train or bus. The resort provides wide choose hotels of different star ratings, for example, a room in the Almira Hotel, three stars, costs 2800 rubles. And in the famous Radisson Blu Resort & Congress Center a night will cost from 7,000 rubles.
Anapa
This resort is rightfully considered the best for families with children. Sandy beaches with a gentle entrance to the sea, they surround the city on all sides.
