Seven inexpensive places where you can fly on vacation in the summer. Budget holidays at sea: the best options

This year, the issue of inexpensive holidays is more acute than ever - the depreciating ruble has caught up with the economic recession, the closure of traditionally cheap Egypt and Turkey. And now, when prices for everything have doubled on average, the desire of Russians to save money on vacation is quite understandable. Many, according to surveys of sociologists, decided not to rest at all, having spent a legal vacation in the garden. For those who cannot imagine their summer without the sea, even in the most difficult economic situation, we publish a selection of destinations that claim to be popular this summer.

For price analysis, we took a tour for two with the help of the service for the very middle of summer - from July 10 to 20 or dates close to these dates. We are looking for air tickets on the website, the cost is indicated for one person, in case of a serious difference between the capital and the resort town, we indicate both price options. In this case, of course, it is recommended to fly to a city with a cheaper flight (as a rule, such options are available in capitals or large economic centers with heavy traffic), arrange an excursion program and then move towards the sea by local transport.

Crimea

Of course, the closure of Turkey and Egypt is beneficial for Russian resorts, and Crimea has not disappeared from the news agenda for the past couple of years. The desire of Russians to look at the territory annexed to Russia, the lack language barrier, flights from many cities in Russia, competition in the field of air travel and affordable fares, the availability of rail and bus connections - these are the factors that explain the predicted popularity of Crimea this season.

Cheapness is explained not only by the possibility of ground transportation and not very expensive air transportation - Russians are attracted by the opportunity to rent a house or apartment from private owners, the cost in this case will actually be much lower than when staying in a hotel. But the service - respectively, plus the "pig in a poke" factor. However, according to the assurances of the Crimean hoteliers, they promise to keep prices at an affordable level.

There is some skepticism: many note that hotels of the same level as in Turkey will cost much more in Crimea than they did on the Mediterranean coast, and flights cannot be compared in price with the price of charters in a tour package to Turkey. Now, due to the new dollar exchange rate and the inability to find out the potential prices for a full package of tourist services in Turkey, it is difficult to say something definite in this regard, so it remains to compare Crimea with the Krasnodar Territory and European resorts.

Sochi and Abkhazia

This, one might say, is a classic holiday in the south of Russia. Only this year - even more in demand due to the closure of Turkey and Egypt. Plus, all the same advantages listed above about Crimea, only getting there is even more convenient and cheaper. For example, if you travel by land, you do not need to transfer from the train to the ferry, and then to the bus. Flights from different cities of Russia are operated by different airlines, which gives big choice both dates and prices.

Sochi, Adler, Gelendzhik and other resorts of the Krasnodar Territory, in addition to the sea and beaches, also have a decent set of attractions that history lovers will enjoy. You can also go to neighboring Abkhazia, where there is a lot of interesting things, and the country is not deprived of good beaches. Separately, we did not describe Abkhazia precisely because you can get there only through the Sochi-Adler transport hub. Then - by train to Sukhum or by bus to other places in the country. More details in this tip.

Georgia

Speaking of the Black Sea, one cannot but mention Georgia. Beautiful, inexpensive and close country, with an amazing history, and also very convenient in terms of logistics. You can either fly by plane from Moscow or take the Comet from Sochi by sea. You can also get from Vladikavkaz by your own car. Prices within the country, as already mentioned, are quite moderate, a visa is not needed, and Georgian cuisine is a full-fledged attraction and cultural heritage of Georgia!

Bulgaria

Of the obvious advantages of holidays in Bulgaria, the following can be mentioned: a close and inexpensive flight, simpler (compared to Schengen) visa rules, domestic prices are lower, and the hotel base is cheaper than Western European countries. Here you can add a loyal attitude towards the Russians, a good climate and a huge number of ancient sights - in terms of the number of various monuments from Roman times, Bulgaria is in third place in Europe. Well, the beaches in Bulgaria are perhaps the best on the Black Sea.

Greece

This country, even with the "allowed" Turkey, encroached on a piece of the tourist pie, and not without success - increasing the volume of Russian tourists year by year. This was facilitated by the fastest issuance of visas in the Schengen area (in summer it usually took 3 days) and low domestic prices compared to the rest of Europe. Well, it makes no sense to talk about the wealth of Greece - as the classic wrote, “everything is there”. Against the backdrop of the absence of Turkey on the agenda, the position of Greece should strengthen even more, unless, of course, Crimea and Sochi pull the blanket over themselves. To the undoubted advantages of the country, we add a large selection of islands and resorts, a close flight and amazing local cuisine.

Cyprus

This island, especially its southern part, is in many ways similar to Greece, but with one important difference - you do not need a visa here. More precisely, it is electronic and is completely issued via the Internet. An island with centuries of history and stunning white sand lagoons can be quite inexpensive if you take a tour package with a charter flight, or if you follow our tips for self-planning a trip. Northern Cyprus is also interesting, but this is the territory of Turkey and the logistics will be more difficult, although you can always get through the southern part. Tourists usually rent a car and go to explore the north on their own, or use the services of guides.

Tunisia

The only one on this moment The "substitute" of Egypt offers everything the same as its "big brother": the warm sea, resort-type hotels with everything you need, a lot of water activities, Arabic flavor, hot sun and an excursion program. True, it is poorer than Egyptian, but Carthage, Sahara and troglodyte caves will not leave you indifferent. The Mediterranean Sea here, although warm, is slightly cooler than the Red Sea, but undersea world does not shine with such a variety as in the Land of the Pyramids. In any case, Tunisia has its trump cards at a fairly attractive price.

Italy

Among the beach Western Europe Italy has long been No. 1 in terms of the number of tourists from Russia. Despite the huge selection of beaches (Italy from all sides, except for the Alps, is washed by the seas), tourists for the most part go to Rimini. But, in addition to the rest of the coastal territory, there are also the magnificent islands of Sicily and Sardinia. But interest in Rimini is often dictated by a simple calculation: there are a huge number of hotels, including budget ones, and tour operators put charters in this city with wide beaches. In addition, one of the largest amusement parks for children and the duty-free shopping state of San Marino for moms are nearby.

If you take other parts of Italy, then the price tag will no longer be so humane, but the country boasts fairly moderate prices for food and transport compared to other Western European countries. More expensive than in Greece, but clearly cheaper than in the Benelux and Scandinavia. In addition, sightseeing square meter Italy confidently leaves behind all the other countries of the world, and for this you can even pay extra.

Spain

Spain can hardly be called a close destination - it takes longer to fly from Russia to it than to any other European country, except Portugal. But in the country a large number of beaches and hotels, and the demand for tours to Spain has been consistently high for many years, many even acquired real estate in this sunny and cheerful country, where some kind of holiday takes place every day.

6. Rest on the sea in Abkhazia - cheap and comfortable!

For those who have read up to this point - we tell about the best place to go in Russia to the sea. Abkhazia is not in the first place in our list only because it is not quite Russia, it is nearby :) In all other respects, this the best place where you can go to the sea with a Russian passport. A foreign passport is not needed, rubles are in use, the locals speak Russian. For starters, you can stay right in the city of Sukhumi - in the guest house "Rufina" - cheap, but quite comfortable.

How to get to Abkhazia? From Moscow to Sukhumi by train number 305 C. The journey takes 42 hours. Either from another city in Russia by train or plane to Sochi airport (located in Adler, see the cheapest flight prices), and from there trains and buses go to Sukhumi, 2-3 hours on the way. By your own or rented car - through the checkpoint at the border across the Psou River, just get out and show your passport and documents for the car. Leave - through the same checkpoint. There are no difficulties at the border, a pure formality.

In Abkhazia, prices are lower, and seaside holidays are more comfortable. There are much more chances to find good beaches and clear sea. In addition, there are fewer tourists on the sea in Abkhazia - the main thing is to drive away from Sukhumi to resort places, and then you can find a very inexpensive vacation on the seashore. Right on the beach!

For example, the Alamys guest house, ideal in terms of price and quality (see photos, reviews and prices), is well located in the resort of Gudauta, near the Black Sea. There are comfortable sun loungers on the beach and there are no other tourists nearby. Clean sea, delicious food. You can admire the sea around the clock from the balcony of the room - you won’t be able to find anything like it on the first line by the sea in Sochi or Lazarevsky.

Beyond the sea in Abkhazia beautiful nature, delicious wine and food. And the prices! Probably such low prices there is nowhere else to go to the seaside in Russia. Even a hotel with three meals a day costs 2 times cheaper than in Russia.

Napra in Abkhazia - an inexpensive recreation center with three meals a day

If on vacation you don’t want to think about where to eat, just go to the recreation center “Napra” and relax:

A nice bonus in this hotel is the view of the Black Sea on one side and the mountains on the other. See photos and prices

We also recommend a trip to the magical Lake Ritsa in Abkhazia and see waterfalls and magnificent places along the way.
