Tel Aviv and the border cities of Bat Yam and Netanya (Mediterranean Sea) attract warm water– up to +25°С…+26°С – but the climate itself is humid. Excursions to Jerusalem, Bethlehem and other shrines are torture. Plus, the annual jellyfish invasions by July.

Use our TRAVEL CALENDAR to decide where to go:

• Winter

• Spring

• Summer

• Autumn

The question “Where to go on vacation?” worries every person who expects to spend their vacation or holidays not at home in a stuffy city or in a country garden.
We can help you navigate a huge selection of destinations.

♦ In order to decide where is the best place to relax at sea, look at what time of year your tour falls? It is known that the most popular resorts, where it is better to go in summer, are located on the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and in winter - these are countries South-East Asia, Red sea, Persian Gulf.

♦ You need to decide in what group you will go: it will be a trip for two, or a family vacation with children, or a big trip noisy company.

♦ The choice will also depend on what type of holiday you are interested in? This could be a tour with an excursion program or just a beach holiday at sea, or perhaps both. In the first case, it is worth choosing trips to historically interesting cities; in the second, pay more attention to the hotel infrastructure, think about what set of hotel services you most need; in the third, look at seaside resorts located near centers with attractions?

For families looking for a place to relax in the summer with a child, you need to take into account the age of the child: long flights and sudden climate changes are not recommended for young children. The Mediterranean and Black Sea are the beaches where it will be most comfortable to go with a small child in the summer. If you are traveling with older children, you should pay attention to the presence of children's miniclubs at the hotel. In European resorts, where there are almost no miniclubs, ask if there are amusement parks or water parks for your children in the resort area? When choosing an excursion trip with a child, make sure that it is not too tiring for him.

Those who want a day's beach holiday to continue with wild parties and events should choose a hotel located near the resort center. Traditionally, European resorts are considered the best places for young people to go on vacation, because of their infrastructure: Cyprus, Mallorca, Ibiza, Bulgaria, the Greek island of Rhodes, resorts in Italy and Spain - the geography where to relax in the summer and have fun is enormous.

If you don’t want to go anywhere outside the hotel premises, then hotels in Turkey still benefit more from animation programs to this day. In general, Turkish regions are very diverse. Side and Belek, resorts where it is best to relax with children. There is a warm sea and sandy beaches. Alanya and Kemer to this day remain the very places where it is cheapest to relax, and resorts on the Aegean coast, such as Marmaris and Bodrum, are most often chosen by those travelers who are looking for where to fly “to hang out.”

Many Russians have already traveled the length and breadth of Turkey, so they are in search of where to relax that would be just as good in terms of price and quality. The list of countries for summer holidays is very diverse; most often our compatriots choose Mediterranean countries because of the short flight.

If you prefer a seaside holiday surrounded by rich natural attractions, then the most popular destinations in 2019 will be Croatia and Montenegro. Montenegro has more convenient beaches where it is most convenient to relax with a child. A large number of festivals take place here in the summer, and there are both lively and calm bays. But Croatia surpasses all countries in the number of parks and nature reserves, which can be reached from almost any resort in the country.

Please note that not everywhere is comfortable all year round, especially if you decide to purchase a trip to the sea. To do this, we have created a page where all popular vacation destinations are divided by month and their opportunities are presented.

♦ And of course one of the most important aspects, when choosing a tour, is the price. The cost depends on many factors: arrival date; duration of the trip; hotel level; nutrition; number of people; availability of discounts, etc.

Where can you relax and see the world for very reasonable money?

The geography of such travel is very diverse, but those who choose something cheap should not forget that they will still have to sacrifice a certain part of comfort: travel by bus or train instead of a plane and live in a two-star hotel instead of a 3-4 star one. Regarding beach packages, keep in mind that inexpensive hotels are most often not located on the first line of the sea, that is, not on the beach. If you want to relax inexpensively and combine a high level of service in good hotel, then consider traveling at the end or beginning of the season for a particular region. At this time, vacation prices become significantly lower. Among the countries where it is cheap to travel in the summer, you can note the search engine of tours, here you can find a tour among millions of offers at the most best price. We also select the most interesting special offers from tour operators every day. In addition, we also provide discounts on all tours except last minute ones!
Call our specialists and they will help you with your travel choice.

We wish you have a good holiday and many positive emotions!

Find out where you can cheaply relax at sea in the summer of 2019 abroad and in Russia! We have chosen the most popular destinations for a holiday by the sea and calculated for each cost index. It will help you understand where to vacation is cheap and where it is expensive. Compare indexes, choose a resort and go on vacation on a budget.

How do we calculate the index?

We calculate two holiday cost indices: for vacationers on a tour and for independent tourists.

Tour holiday index. For each destination we find the cheapest tours for two for 10 days. To the cost of the tour per person we add the cost of a visa (if needed). We divide the result by 10. We get the cost of vacation per day per person.

We sum up the main expenses of a tourist and divide by 10:

• Flights. We are looking for the cheapest round trip flight from Moscow. Tickets can be without luggage and with transfers.
• Housing. We find double rooms at the lowest price; we do not consider hostels. Calculation per person for 10 days.
• Visa (if needed).

What are we not counting? Food, travel, excursions, etc. - these expenses are individual and difficult to calculate. Our index does not reflect all travel expenses, but allows you to compare the cost of a vacation on a basic basis.

Why are tickets and tours only from Moscow considered? Firstly, most tourists fly from the capital on vacation. Secondly, the cheapest tickets and tours are usually from Moscow. If we count the indices for departures from all Russian cities, the review will surpass “War and Peace” in volume.

Is it possible to get it even cheaper? Can! In some cases, your vacation will cost less than according to our estimates. You will save if:

• find a cheap one or ;
• you already have open Schengen and are going to Europe;
• fly on vacation during the low season.

Prices have been updated for the summer season 2019 and are indicated in Russian rubles. The indices for European countries are duplicated in euros, for Asia - in US dollars.

Exchange rate: 1 US dollar ≈ 65 RUB.
