What's the cheapest way to relax? Budget holiday at sea: the best options. cheap countries for holidays

Holidays abroad have always been considered the most expensive pleasure. But recently, tourists can go on vacation abroad freely and the cost of such a vacation will be quite acceptable. Let's look at the most cheap holiday abroad 2018.

In this article we will try to provide you with a description of the most popular destinations among Russian tourists. Also, many may be interested in reading the information from the article: where to holiday abroad without a visa in 2018.

Most Popular Countries

In Turkey any Russian feels at home and therefore many residents of our country prefer to holiday in this country. Türkiye is mainly a beach holiday with children on the Black Sea or the Mediterranean. You can also do inexpensive shopping here and naturally visit various attractions. Also, we must not forget about entertainment, which in Turkey is simply great amount and therefore, every day tourists will find a lot of nightclubs, discos, restaurants and bars here.

Prices for holidays here fluctuate depending on the time of year, season and part of the country. So, for example, a tour to Antalya will cost about 200 dollars, to Istanbul - about 350 dollars, and to Kemer - 250 dollars. On average, a two-week tour for two can be purchased for $1000–1500, and if you are lucky enough to buy a last-minute tour or go to Turkey in the fall, you can save up to 50% of their cost. Russian tourists prefer Turkey for a complete holiday with an all-inclusive system, excellent climate, clear sea and numerous excursions.

Unfortunately today, Türkiye is closed to travel companies and many are tormented by the question of when Turkey will open. But you can go on vacation on your own.

Holidays in Egypt at sea is the most traditional among Russian residents, since this destination has long been “travelled” by Russian tourists. Here you can enjoy excellent hotel service, a warm climate, and a huge amount of entertainment for only $250 for 7-8 days of a great vacation.

Warm Red Sea, gentle sun, All inclusive and, of course, the ancient pyramids- this is what numerous tourists come to this beautiful country for every year with its ancient history And unique monuments culture and architecture: The Pyramids, the eternal Sphinx and Luxor, which tourists visit, all this is worth going to this country on vacation. But this direction is closed, although there is information that flights will soon resume.

And, of course, the logical question will be: what is better, Turkey or Egypt in terms of service, comfort, food?

Thailand no less popular than Turkey or Egypt, but in this country the high season begins in mid-autumn and ends at the beginning of winter. Therefore, if you want to purchase the most cheap tour, then it is best to count on the month of April or May.

A package for a ten-day vacation will cost about $700–800. The cheapest seaside holiday in 2018 will indeed be in Thailand, since in almost any region of the country you can have a great holiday for $15–25 per day. If you decide to go on your own, then on average you will need about $400 per month for accommodation, subject to staying in a hotel in the center of Pattaya. But you can find a vacation cheaper. On the island of Phuket, Chang, Samui, Phi Phi you can find a hotel room for $150–200 per month. And if one room is enough for you, then you can rent it for 80–90 dollars.

Thailand has very cheap products, so you only need $100 a month for food. For 2 dollars you can have a great lunch in any cafe, and 6 dollars is enough for dinner in good restaurant. And if you want to fill your suitcase with inexpensive things, then 100 dollars will be enough for you, without even haggling.

The cheapest holiday at sea

Vietnam– this is an incredibly beautiful place where you can find many corners of nature untouched by man. And even despite the growing popularity of this country, holidays in it remain still quite acceptable. So, for example, 10 dollars a day is enough for one person to stay in a hotel, meals, excursion programs and massage. And if you are willing to spend $20 a day, you won’t be able to deny yourself anything. Therefore, 400–500 dollars for an excellent 30-day vacation will be quite enough. But this does not include the flight, since plane tickets are not included in this price (a direct flight will cost a little more than with transfers).

Goa (India) is another popular tourist destination, since with 100 dollars in your pocket (6000 rupees) you can have a great rest and not deny yourself anything, especially when it comes to northern Goa.

The cost of a holiday in Goa for a European person is quite low, especially far from big cities and metropolises. The most expensive holiday in Goa is in winter, since the high season begins at this time, but if you buy a ticket in the off-season, then a tour with air travel when prices drop starts from $400. But if you decide to go on your own and stay in an inexpensive guesthouse, as many young people do, you can save about 20-30% of your money. Goa is very popular among Russians due to its favorable tropical climate and recreation at almost any time of the year.

Abkhazia is located next to Russia and therefore many prefer to go to this country on vacation, since for many it will be the most a budget option have a great time on the Black Sea. I would also like to note that Russians do not need visas or foreign passports to go on vacation to Abkhazia and the journey will take a little time.

If you do not have a large amount of money, then you can choose a vacation in the private sector, where prices for budget housing do not exceed 300–350 rubles per day per person. If you want more comfortable apartments in the private sector, you will have to shell out a larger amount - about 500 rubles. Meals per day in Abkhazia will also cost you from 500 rubles per day. Thus, it can be calculated that a seven-day holiday in this country without travel will cost about 5,600 to 10,000 rubles per person.

Holidays in boarding houses and hotels in 2018 will cost much more. For example Double Room in a boarding house or sanatorium it will cost from 1,600 to 8,000 rubles per day. So if you are counting on inexpensive holiday in Abkhazia, then you will need an amount of 22,000 rubles for two. For 30,000 rubles for two you can also see all the sights of this beautiful country.

Many Russians, we are sure, will be curious about the answer to the following question: Where is it better to relax - in Sochi, Crimea or Abkhazia?

But the cheapest holiday abroad at sea awaits you in Bali and Cambodia. These countries offer the most cheap accommodation and food for tourists. In Bali you can find excellent accommodation for $100 a month and the same amount will cover food for 30 days. The only negative is a very expensive flight - about 1000 dollars!

Cambodia and Bali are not very famous countries for tourist recreation, and therefore the logical question would be: Where are Bali and Cambodia?

And in Cambodia you can find a room for $1.50 a night, and when you buy delicious and cheap food, you will feel guilty for paying people so little. A visit to one of the world's most famous monuments of the kingdom of Cambodia - Angkor Wat will cost you only 5 dollars.

Exquisite holiday

Sri Lanka or Ceylon island Recently it has become very popular among Russian tourists, as many want to relax in exotic places where beautiful nature reigns and there are many secluded beautiful places and unique cultural and historical attractions.

And it is in Sri Lanka that you can have a wonderful holiday in an inexpensive beach hotel for 10-15 dollars a day. And here you can engage in a wide variety of sports: diving, surfing, fishing, kiting, rafting, etc. But plane tickets here are not cheap, so it is best to purchase tickets for charter flights or for connecting flights. Thus, for a month's vacation you will need about 400–500 dollars.

Greece- this is the country of the ancient gods, the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea, as well as beautiful scenic spots, where you can relax with children at the most reasonable prices. Halkidiki is a pearl Aegean Sea, Crete is the island of the legendary Minotaur, Athens is the capital of the country, Rhodes, Peloponnese, Attica, Paros, Corfu and many other islands and resorts of Greece attract many tourists from Russia. And they are all great for family vacation. On average, a holiday in Greece will cost you $250–350 for 7 days. Currently, this country is one of the cheapest countries that require a Schengen visa for those who want to fully enjoy the beach and excursion holidays on the sea.

Cyprus It cannot be called very cheap for a holiday, but it is very popular among Russians. A ticket to Cyprus from Moscow will cost about $200 per person, but if you get a promotion from an airline, you can save from 30 to 50%. But living on the island is quite expensive. The cheapest room in Paphos will cost $30–35, but you can rent a room for $25–28 per night. Food in cafes and restaurants is also not cheap, so it is best to buy food in supermarkets, where various promotions and discounts are available.

If you are choosing where to vacation, between the last two countries, we recommend reading the differences between them: Which is better to choose - Greece or Cyprus, for example, for beach holiday?

Europe is a holiday destination

Portugal is a member of the Eurozone and therefore cannot boast of the same low prices as Asian countries. But the holiday here is completely different. You need to go to this beautiful country, which is located in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, just to enjoy the taste of excellent seafood, Portuguese cherry liqueur - ginjinha, port wine, and also visit all architectural monuments Iberian culture of the country, one of which is the famous Belem Tower - a fort on the Tijo River in the region of the same name in Lisbon.

Accommodation in Portugal in an inexpensive hostel in the province will cost from 18 to 33 dollars per day. A room in a three-star hotel will cost from 30 to 80 dollars per day. And accommodation in a boarding house in Lisbon ranges from 13 to 28 dollars. Lunch in an inexpensive cafe will cost from 6.5 to 13.5 dollars, and one dish in an expensive restaurant will cost from 6 to 24 dollars. You'll need about $50 per person per day, so the total cost of the trip will range from $600 to $1,000.

After a year of hard work, everyone needs a break. To have a good rest, you simply need to radically change the environment around you. Some people think that you can have a wonderful vacation in your homeland, in your homeland. southern resorts. But will this be a radical change of scenery? In addition, today domestic resorts in terms of prices can easily compete with many well-known European resorts, but the level of service and development tourism infrastructure(availability of attractions, quality of roads and entertainment) - alas, not always up to par.

Not all of Europe is “covered” by the Schengen agreements, which means that a visa is not required everywhere. In addition, the most sophisticated European tourists are increasingly choosing the “untrodden paths”, tired of the bustle and stiffness of all sorts of Nice, Barcelona, Bolears and the Alps.

Let’s try to figure out in which country you can relax well, see something unique, eat delicious food and protect the family budget from “default”.

Outside the Schengen area

Six European countries are accessible to Russians without any visa costs. Almost all of them offer an excellent holiday, warm sun, many interesting places and budget accommodation. These countries need tourists, so you can confidently count on a friendly attitude, comfort and a carefree stay. With some reservations, of course, but these reservations are insignificant. Let's just start alphabetically. So…

1. Albania

Once the most closed country in Europe, today it is open and attractive to tourists. To dissolve any prejudice, it is worth noting that, thanks to its closeness for a good half of the 20th century, the country has perfectly preserved ancient monuments, which you won’t find in Greece today. But not all at once!

You can stay in the country for up to 30 days without a visa (more than enough for a vacation), the country awaits visa-free travelers during all three summer months and two more autumn months - the weather is still good, the rest of the year no one comes here anyway, it’s chilly and damp .

Important condition: you must have a return ticket, otherwise capricious Albanian border guards may send you back to your homeland.

Road

Uncomfortable. There are no direct flights, you will have to fly with a transfer. Cheaper - through Greece. The more time between connecting flights, the cheaper the ticket. Expect to pay approximately 250 euros for a round trip ticket.

Hotel

The cost of staying at a hotel on the Ionian Sea rarely exceeds 30 euros per night. A week in such a hotel costs no more than 160-180 euros.

What to see?

In addition to swimming and beach holidays, in Albania you simply must see:

Tirana is the capital where you need to see the Pyramid ( former mausoleum dictator Hoxha), now there is the Mummy club, where everyone dances and has fun, the central square with the Skanderbeg statue, the Efem Bey mosque;
Durres is a city on the seashore with a Greek amphitheater, an ancient Roman highway, a Venetian tower, numerous bunkers, and a panoramic restaurant. Road - train from Tirana (journey 1 hour, ticket - 1 euro);
Pogradec is a town on the shores of Lake Orchid, near the border with Macedonia. Here you can explore ancient basilicas, tombs of Illyrian kings, and try the famous Orchid trout in a local restaurant. You can get there by minibus for 4.5 euros. Lunch in a cafe - 2-3 euros.

A spoon of tar

Don't count on European level. The roads are bad, the transport is without air conditioning. Stock up on a phrasebook, preferably a Russian-Italian one. They don’t speak Russian here, and they haven’t heard of English at all.

Budget. A week's holiday in a hotel by the sea - 300 euros with meals for two, plus the cost of air tickets - 500. We get - 800 euros for a week for two (400 euros per person). We'll add about 50 euros more for local transport and sightseeing.

2. Bosnia and Herzegovina

A quiet and peaceful country, part of Yugoslavia, with a predominantly Slavic but Muslim population. You can stay without a visa for up to 30 days a year. A return ticket is required upon entry.

Road

Air ticket to Sarajevo (the capital) with a transfer in Belgrade and back - from 150 euros. In summer and early autumn, ticket prices can rise to 200 euros.

Hotel

The average cost of a standard room for two in a *** hotel is from 30 to 50 euros. The hotels are comfortable, the breakfasts are delicious. Weekly accommodation - 180 - 300 euros.

What to see?

The country is proud of its beautiful nature, but the most interesting thing here is the amazing mixture of Byzantine, Ottoman and Slavic cultures. The language barrier is completely surmountable if you listen carefully - native roots will help you understand the native. And the Russian language is not at all uncommon here. Add here delicious and unusual cuisine, friendly and hospitable people - we will get a very attractive place to relax. Among the main attractions of Sarajevo:

The Latin Bridge is the site of the murder of the unfortunate heir to the Austrian Empire, which led to a world war;
Moricha Khan is an ancient refuge for caravans, an example of medieval Muslim architecture;
Markale Square is the main marketplace of the capital of Bosnia;

Wine tastings - from 25 euros for a tour of the cellars, tasting and souvenir (a bottle of wine and two branded glasses);
Hospitality;
Delicious cuisine;
Rich story.

A spoon of tar

Don't expect a high level of comfort. Most likely, your hotel or guest house will not be much different from your native provincial hotel with all the “charms”, but the service will be very warm and helpful.

Budget. Week in guest house— 130 euros; Airplane ticket - 200 euros; food - up to 60 euros per week. Total - 390 euros. Taking into account the costs of local transport, Moldova is one of the most “budget” countries for tourists.

This is the end for countries outside the Schengen Agreement. Let's see how you can have an inexpensive holiday in the “other” Europe.

Inexpensive Schengen countries

Despite the fact that a visit to most European countries will require the hassle of acquiring a visa, the holiday becomes only 35 euros more expensive. Otherwise, individual tourists can successfully save.

The main conditions for saving:

Choose for your stay not the capital or famous resorts, but small towns and villages, where everything is almost half the price;
Rest in spring or autumn, outside the “high season”;
Instead of hotels, choose boarding houses or guest houses, the price of which includes breakfast;
Do not buy souvenirs on the main streets and in tourist shops;
Do not go to attraction-type restaurants; sometimes you have to pay very dearly for a bad and unprofessional program;
We are looking for friends among local residents, their advice helps us save money.

1. Croatia

The country is not part of the Schengen zone, but feels already there. A visa will cost 35 euros, and with a Schengen visa entry is free. Advantages of the country: climate, landscapes and sea - like in Italy; Slavic mentality, low prices.

Road

There are direct flights, there are flights with one or two transfers, but one thing remains unchanged - a ticket to any of international airports Croatia (round trip) costs at least 180 euros.

It is possible to travel by train, but the trip will cost more (you need a Hungarian transit visa).

Hotels

Even in famous resort Croatia - Split - you can find excellent apartments by the sea for 35-40 euros per day. The main condition is to book in advance (three to four months in advance, and preferably six months in advance).

What to see?

There are a huge number of attractions in Croatia, but you definitely need to see:

Diocletian's Palace in Split;
The city of Dubrovnik (just stop by and take a walk, the city is expensive);
The city of Hum is the smallest in the world (17 inhabitants), here you can try “homemade” cognac;
Vranjaca Cave - near Split.

Croatia is an ideal country for a beach holiday. The sea here is clean and the beaches are sandy.

A spoon of tar

When buying products at the market, be prepared for the fact that they will sell you more than local residents. Make friends with a Croatian. Purchases will be at least 20% cheaper. Restaurants here are expensive, it is better to eat on your own, shopping in small shops.

Budget. Accommodation - 240 euros. Meals - 90 euros. Local transport - up to 20 euros per person. Flight – 180 euros. Total - 530 euros. It is also necessary to take into account the entrance fee for visiting attractions; for this you need to prepare at least 20 euros per person.

The real Alps with ample opportunities for ski lovers;
Cave complexes;
Gorgeous waterfalls where you can swim;

Road

A flight to Varna and back (we don’t even consider Sofia as a city for vacation) costs from 300 euros. You need to catch discounts on this route; at best, you’ll be lucky to find a ticket 30-40 euros cheaper.

Hotels

Even during the “high” season in Varna you can find a hotel costing 20 euros per night with breakfast. But you'll have to look. The best way to cope with the search will be large search engines(booking.com).

What to see?

Tourists never get bored in Bulgaria:

An abundance of monasteries and Byzantine churches;
Ancient ruins;
Museums and exhibition halls;
Nature reserves.

If boat trips here are very expensive, then hiking or a trip to the ancient monastery with a Russian-speaking guide will cost 5-7 euros. You just need to buy the excursion on the spot, there is a possibility of big discounts.

A spoon of tar

You should not count on perfect cleanliness and impeccable plumbing in a hotel. In many ways, a budget holiday in Bulgaria is reminiscent of sanatoriums in your native country.

4. Romania

The ancient land of the Dacians, beautiful Transylvania, Dracula's castle, the Black Sea beaches - all this is Romania, which tourists have not yet truly appreciated.

Road

Flight from Moscow to Bucharest and back - from 140 euros. It is better to buy from TAROM airline (Romanian company). The most interesting cities for tourists - Sighisoara (to visit Count Dracula) and Constanta (at the very blue sea).

What to see?

Slovakia cannot boast of an abundance of historical or cultural plan. But in terms of natural beauty, very few European countries can compete with it. Ski resorts, small mountain hotels and farms where you can buy excellent sheep's cheese. The advantage of the capital is that from here you can practically take a tram to the magnificent Vienna.

Worth to visit:
Numerous National parks;
The city of Bardejov is the Gothic capital of Slovakia;
Castle Cherveny Kamen - a romantic story and an ominous dungeon;
Christmas market in Bratislava.

A spoon of tar

Cultural characteristics are such that many perceive them as impolite and unfriendly. And this is just friendliness! It’s just that the national character is so gloomy and unsmiling.

Budget. Road - 340. Hotel - 210. Food - 60. Sights - 40. Total - 650 euros/week.

9. Cyprus

The island is well-fed by tourists from all over the world. Not the cheapest place, but here you can relax on a budget.

A good hotel in Greece is expensive. But every week, several hotels in different parts of the country announce happy hours. In this case, you can find a room in a four-star hotel for 35-40 euros/day. A room in a hostel, far from the sea and with minimal amenities - 28-32 euros.

What to see?

Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete, Rhodes - there is something to see everywhere. It is possible to answer this question, but the answer will take several volumes. Greece is a paradise not only for those who love the warm sea and delicious wine, it is a place for those who want to see with their own eyes everything that they once read about in books with myths ancient Greece, seen in films about the Spartans. Tourism for Greece is the last opportunity to stay afloat in the economic sea, so every tourist will be treated kindly and entertained.

A spoon of tar

Hotel cleaning is a very conditional thing. Don't expect anyone to change the towels and refill the shampoo. Punctuality is not a priority here; public transport runs on a flexible schedule.

Budget. Road - 200. Hotel - 180. Food - 150-200. Attractions - 60-80. The result is 590-650 euros/week.

For those who have read this far, we’ll tell you about the best place to go to the sea in Russia. Abkhazia is not in first place on our list only because it is not exactly Russia - it is nearby :) In all other respects, this is the best place where you can go to sea with a Russian passport. No passport needed, rubles are in use, local residents speak Russian. To begin with, 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 No. 305 S. 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 there are trains and buses to Sukhumi, the journey takes 2-3 hours. In your own or rented car - through the checkpoint on 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, just a formality.

In Abkhazia, prices are lower and holidays at sea are more comfortable. Here you have a much better chance of finding good beaches and clear sea. In addition, in Abkhazia there are fewer tourists at sea - the main thing is to drive away from Sukhumi to resort places, and then you can find a very inexpensive holiday on the seashore. Right on the beach!

For example, the Alamys guest house, ideal in terms of price and quality ratio (see photos, reviews and prices), is conveniently located in the resort of Gudauta, right next to 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 24/7 from your room’s balcony – you won’t be able to find anything like this on the first line by the sea in Sochi or Lazarevskoye.

In addition, Hotellook, unlike Booking, gives you the opportunity to sort hotels operating on the All Inclusive system.
