The vacation schedule for most people is managed by their bosses. Vacations do not always fall in the summer. What to do if your vacation is in the spring? Where to go in April?

April is not winter even in most regions of Russia. In Europe, this is flowering time. In Asia, Africa, especially in Central America, it is good to combine the beach and excursions. It is advisable to choose travel routes in advance, but last minute options are also quite acceptable.

Before your trip, do not forget to purchase an insurance policy, it is required for obtaining a visa and will provide you with free medical care.

Beach holiday

April - amazing time: somewhere the beach holiday is just beginning, somewhere the season is ending. There are places that are independent of the changing seasons. There are many more options where you can go to the sea in April than, for example, in winter or March.

In the Mediterranean, the air has already warmed up enough for sunbathing, but not everywhere the water temperature is suitable for swimming. It is worth taking a jumper or jacket with you, as night temperatures fluctuate between 10-15 degrees.

Türkiye

Türkiye is the main foreign resort for many Russians. In April, on the southern coast, the air warms up to 20-22 degrees during the day (sometimes up to 25), the water reaches more modest values ​​of 18-20 degrees (which corresponds to the water temperature in the Crimean Yalta in late June-early July). For people accustomed to swimming in the Black Sea, Alanya, Antalya, Kemer and their surroundings are suitable. Water on the coast Aegean Sea warms up later, so Marmaris, Belek and their neighbors are best visited in the later months. In addition, the prices for April vouchers are pleasantly surprising even in 5+ hotels, where there are indoor pools that are quite capable of compensating for swimming in the sea.

To visit Turkish attractions like Pamukkale, Myra Lycia, Cappadocia, where there are crowds of tourists in the summer, spring is the best time. In Istanbul, the tulip festival lasts throughout April. By April, the entire city is covered with a carpet of these flowers. You can buy bulbs at fairs to plant at home.

Cyprus

The island is located south of Turkey, so the water and air are a little warmer by a couple of degrees, which allows Russians to open the beach season and at the same time calmly stroll around the sights.

A pleasant bonus this year was the opportunity to come to the island not only with a Schengen or local visa, but with a Pro-visa issued online instantly and free of charge. The only condition for such a visa is a direct flight from Russia to Cyprus without transfers in other countries.

Although Tunisia is located in Africa, the water temperature in the western Mediterranean is lower than in the eastern. The air is already warming up above +20, and the water – no higher than +17. In such a situation, it is worth choosing high-star hotels with indoor pools so that you can swim after sunbathing. Hotel prices in April are much lower than during the high season.

It is better to devote your free time to excursions to Carthage, to the ruins of ancient cities, filming locations “ Star Wars", desert safari and shopping.

Morocco

Another African country available for travel in April. This is its most northwestern part, washed by the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

It's still cool at sea. If you go to Morocco, then in the second half of the month to Atlantic resorts, for example, to Agadir, where the air warms up to +22 and the water to +18.

Tenerife. Canary Islands

The water and air temperature on the “islands of eternal spring” in April is approximately +20. In such conditions, sunbathing is good, but not everyone is comfortable swimming. Many hotels offer tourists swimming pools with heated water.

Active travelers are offered excursions to the Teide Volcano, to caves with rock paintings, to numerous archaeological sites, as well as to the Guimar pyramids. Yes, and there are pyramids in the Canaries. In shape they resemble Mayan structures and keep many amazing secrets.

Greek Crete

In April for lovers of active recreation. The rainy days are ending. Daytime temperatures are no higher than +20, night temperatures are +12+14, water temperatures are no higher than +17. Not quite suitable for the beach, but...

Of course, there is still a lot of snow in the mountains and gorges, and the Knossos Palace in Heraklion, the ancient cities of Rethymno, Matala, Gortyna, Orthodox monasteries with rich history, the man-made island of Spinalonga are waiting for their guests. It is also useful to attend Easter services on April 28.

Important: for traveling with children, as well as for lovers of quiet beach holiday Traveling to countries where not only the air, but also the water is heated in April is suitable.

Israel

Israel is a state of three seas. If on the Mediterranean coast in Haifa and Netanya the season is just beginning, then in Eilat on the Red Sea it is in full swing. In Haifa, the temperature most often stays around +22, sometimes rising to +25, the water has already warmed up to +20. It’s full summer in Eilat: +26 in the air, +22 in the water and a riot of ultraviolet radiation around.

The Dead Sea is the most unique resort site. The healing properties of its water and salt have been known since biblical times. The microclimate is also unusual: if 270 km on the coast Mediterranean Sea If it’s still cloudy and cool, then at the resort the water and air are the same: +25.

You can write a separate article about the options for active recreation in Israel: objects mentioned in the sacred scriptures of three religions can be found literally at every step. Fans of any religion will find excursion options for themselves.

Jordan

Jordan has resorts on Red and Dead Seas. Aqaba is located only 3 km from Eilat, Israel, so climatic conditions rest are the same: +26 air, +22 water. On the Dead Sea and on both sides it is +25 degrees in water and on land.

Fans of educational recreation have something to see:

• Petra is a city that grew from stone into literally words. Buildings carved into rocks Pink colour, a collection of different eras in one place.
• Jerash is a Roman city in the Middle East that miraculously preserved its masterpieces thanks to the desert that covered it with sand.
• Amman is the capital of Jordan. For more than 3,000 years, the city periodically passed from one conqueror to another, each era left its marks.

In the UAE, it is not necessary to book a hotel “on the first line”. Guests are provided with a shuttle to the beach at a set schedule, which is very convenient for older travelers and families with children.

It is worth noting that in this Muslim country it is necessary to follow a certain dress code and not appear outside hotels in miniskirts, shorts, or swimsuits. It is advisable for women to cover their arms and neckline with scarves or pareos.

Precipitation is not so frequent, up to 5-7 days per month; in the southern regions it is warmer and drier. It is colder in the mountains and in the north, so outer clothing should be provided for traveling around the island.

China

A good option for vacationing abroad in April 2020 is to go to China. It occupies a large territory, quite extensive across different climatic zones, so the difference in temperatures in the north and south is large. If on the southern island of Hainan in April it is already real summer and the temperature reaches +25...+28°C, then in the north of the country it is only +15°C. There may be short-term rains, so the humidity is high, but the water in the South China Sea is pleasantly warm +26...+28°C.

Thailand

In April it gets too hot for comfortable rest, and lovers of true tropical heat go there. In the northern regions it is hot: +36°C during the day, and in the south there are increasingly heavy rains, which causes the humidity to rise sharply, and such weather not suitable for everyone. But a slight reduction in prices for trips (15-35%) compared to the popular winter months makes this destination still attractive in the eyes of our compatriots.

In terms of weather, during this period it is best to relax on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Thailand. In Phuket, Samui, Phangan, Koh Chang and Koh Tao, the air during the day is +32...+33°C, the water temperature is +29...+30°C, vacationers are refreshed by a light breeze from the sea. Pattaya is even hotter and drier, +35°C during the day. The situation is worst in the southwest of the country, where it is often stormy and the waves are too high, which is good for windsurfers, but swimming there becomes impossible.

Excursions in such heat are not easy to endure, although tourists willingly visit local museums, temple complexes, waterfalls, plantations and farms, and shopping centers. But they are more popular in April sea ​​cruises to the islands, fishing, diving and other water activities. In mid-April, Thailand celebrates the Songkran festival (Thai New Year), at this time usually quiet Thais pour water on each other and play innocent pranks.

It’s warm, sunny, there are no crowds of tourists, and the prices are more than reasonable... April is a great time to take a vacation after a long winter, plunging headlong into spring. Where can I do this? Let's consider all the options!

Beach holidays: where it’s already warm in April

First, we describe countries where you can relax not too expensively and where it’s already warm in April. In countries such as India, Thailand and Vietnam, you can also vacation on a budget, but the flight there can be expensive and make up a large part of the cost of the vacation.

Egypt . There is no sultry heat yet, and the sea is warm. Egypt in April is on the verge of the end of the season, so prices are already falling, there are fewer tourists, and the weather is pleasant. During the day the air temperature is about +27..+30 degrees, the water is already +24°C. The only disadvantage of this time is the winds. But if you can put up with such climate vagaries for the sake of significant discounts, then April is a great month to visit Egypt. By the way, when planning a trip to the pyramids in April, it is worth considering: windy weather subsides in the second half of the month.

Tunisia . Spring Tunisia means comfortable weather, and so far cool water(+16°C). But countless thalassotherapy centers, spas, water parks, outdoor and indoor swimming pools will not let you get bored in this country.

Türkiye . At this time, Turkey is already comfortable - the air warms up to +22 degrees, but the water is still cold (maximum +18°C). Therefore, it makes sense to go to Turkey for an excursion holiday, and you can swim in the pools, many of which are heated at this time.

Cyprus. The South Coast is slightly warmer than Turkey. At the end of the month the water warms up to +19.3°C.

Weather 33 does not recommend traveling with children to Tunisia, Turkey and Cyprus in April if you want to swim in the sea with them. For children, if they are not accustomed to cool water, the sea in April will be very cold. For these countries, it is better to plan your trip from the end of May.

Israel . Three seas are at once available to tourists who come to Israel in April. Air temperature +25°C. This time is perfect for health tours to the Dead Sea. Considering that Easter in 2017 is April 16, then being in Holy Week in Jerusalem is a wonderful opportunity for religious and believing people.

Thailand (Pattaya, Phuket).+33°C during the day, water temperature +28°C – Thailand welcomes tourists with sunny weather all year round. April is no exception. Moreover, this month is the last one before the rainy season, so prices drop on absolutely everything. Several tropical rains may occur in a month, but they last no more than an hour. Then the sun comes out, and after half an hour it’s dry all around. Due to the high humidity and temperature, it can be stuffy, but the water (temperature +28+30°C) more than compensates for these nuances, especially since the sea near the island of Phuket is calm.

Important remember that April in Thailand is hottest month. It is from April 13 to April 15 that the Thai New Year is celebrated - the Songkran holiday.

Vietnam. April in Asia is a great time for a beach holiday. In Vietnam, for example, the air temperature is +30°C, and the water temperature is +25+27°C. Prices are democratic.

China (Hainan). Warm and humid. Sometimes it rains a little, but this does not prevent you from visiting thermal springs and trying yourself in rafting and diving. You can also swim - the water and air temperatures are the same (about +27°C).

India (Goa ). Prices are reduced (compared to the season) by 15-20%. During the day +33+35°С, water +28°С. High humidity encourages you to use air conditioning or spend all your time in water.

April in Goa is quite a hot month even for locals who are accustomed to the heat. For people who have difficulty with acclimatization, we do not recommend this month.

UAE . The Emirates are beautiful at this time. In April, during the day the air warms up to +32°C, in the evening it becomes cool (+20°C), the water temperature is +23°C. In addition to swimming in the warm waters of the bay, it is worth going to one of the largest water parks in the world, which operates in the UAE. April is also a month of discounts; at this time, hotels significantly reduce their prices for accommodation. And travel agencies offer a number of last-minute tours to the UAE at attractive prices.
