The best resorts for a holiday in July. Holidays in July: where is it better to go or fly to relax?

July is the height of holidays and children's holidays, and the holiday options at this time of year seem to be absolutely endless.

Beach resorts

The height of the holiday season, which traditionally falls in July, provides ample opportunities for beach holidays at resorts. At the same time, when choosing a vacation by the sea during this period, it is worth considering that the cost of a trip in July is slightly higher, but you can always count on last-minute tours. Charter programs allow you to go on vacation to almost anywhere in Europe. It must be remembered that July is a hot month, so when choosing a holiday destination, it is important to take into account the temperatures characteristic of the region.

Despite the heat and popularity of many resorts in July, mid-summer is a great opportunity to combine an educational excursion holiday with a vacation on the sea or ocean coast.

Vacation with children

By sending a child to a children's or teenage camp abroad, we can say with confidence that he will not only find new friends, but also learn one or more foreign languages. International camps located on and will help the child quickly adapt to a new language environment - and improve knowledge. In, and a large selection of camps based on interests - in particular, sports, computer and theater.

Traveling outside with your children on vacation is not always justified, because small children take a little longer to adapt to a new climate and new environment. An important component when choosing a holiday destination for children is food: when going on holiday abroad, it is not always possible to control it. It is no secret that the well-being of children guarantees a successful and happy holiday for the whole family. Therefore, the Black Sea resorts are still perhaps the best option for spending holidays for parents with small children. This is also justified by the fact that at Russian resorts it is much easier to find a common language with doctors in the event of a sudden illness, and besides, you can always return home without being tied to charter flights.

In July, excursion trips to and, and, and the Volga region, and Kuban are especially popular.

Cyprus

Cyprus is ideal for those people who love really hot weather, but those who suffer from heart disease should avoid traveling to the island at this time. Rains are rather an anomaly for the summer months, so tropical stuffiness will not interfere with your vacation. Abnormal temperatures reign in resorts like Larnaca - here the air sometimes warms up to 40 degrees.

At the same time, a visit to Larnaca is recommended for fans of a quality and relaxing beach holiday and trips with children. Local beaches have been awarded blue flags for their cleanliness, and therefore it will be comfortable to relax here.

Türkiye

The blessed Turkish coast, washed by 4 seas, provides a wide choice of holidays in July. The month of the “high season” here is characterized by intense heat, especially on the Mediterranean and Aegean shores. If you observe a reasonable amount of sunbathing (before 11 am and from 16.00) and staying on the beach, then a holiday in Turkey will only bring benefits.

The air temperature during the day in Mediterranean resorts (Antalya, Alanya, Belek, Beldibi, Kemer) is from +33° to +38°, at night - +20-+21°. The sea warms up to +24-+26°, in some places up to 28°C. The resorts of the Aegean Sea (Bodrum, Cesme, Didim) delight with 33-34 degree heat during the day and +24 degree temperature at night. It is very hot in Marmaris in a closed bay. However, the abundance of pine forests in the vicinity of the beaches helps to cope with the heat.

It is coolest on the Black Sea coast (Samsun Samsun, Trabzon, Sinop Sinop, Amasra, etc.) +30-32° during the day, at night - +20-+21°, many attractions, thermal springs make holidays here interesting and useful. Medieval and Byzantine castles, mountain lakes, and wonderful landscapes will diversify your stay. The choice of resorts in Turkey is extremely rich, each of them has some kind of zest.

Why not go on a cruise? The prices are very affordable! , .

The coast of Spain is a real boon for tourists: a variety of resort areas and consistently high levels of service. Thus, the Costa Tropical adorns the province of Granada in the southern tip of Spain. The massive Sierra Nevada mountain ranges provide natural protection from the cold winds from the north. The weather here is stable: dry and sunny virtually all year round. The air warms up to 30 degrees, while the water temperature averages 24 degrees.

Among the local resort towns, Almuñecar, rich in attractions, especially stands out. The White Coast of Spain or the Costa Blanca is distinguished by fine sandy beaches, picturesque mountain ranges and snow-white cliffs. The maximum temperature reaches 32 degrees, while the water temperature sometimes freezes at around 28 degrees.

Among the local resort towns, the most important are Alicante with its castles, art museums and colorful promenade, Benidorm with a real bullring, and Valencia, which hosts the annual Festival of the Kings and is famous for its wines. Among other resort areas, the Costa Dorada and Costa Brava enjoy stable popularity. Don't forget about Spain's maritime domains: Ibiza, Mallorca and the Canary Islands never lack tourists.

Italy

It is in July that the most magnificent Italian blossoms begin - huge asters begin to bloom with colors throughout the peninsula, and the first bunches of grapes are filled with sweetness. With fairly high humidity, a quite comfortable temperature is maintained - up to 30 degrees. In the northern regions of the country it is relatively cooler - up to 25 degrees. As a rule, the water warms up consistently to 26 degrees. All this gives real scope for choosing a resort to suit your taste.

Among the main tourist cities, Rome and the so-called cities of art stand out: Milan, Venice, Florence and the glorious Pisa. A huge number of resorts are located along the coast of Italy, forming the Lazio Riviera, the Venetian and Tuscan Riviera and other seaside resort areas. The island possessions of Italy are of particular interest.

Thus, Sardinia, which has autonomous status, is a place where beach holidays, almost all water sports and rich excursion programs are ideally combined. Sicily is distinguished by its explosive temperament, unique culture, blazing hot volcanoes and delicious cuisine. It’s not surprising that many gastronomic tours are organized here. And also Capri - an amazing place that acquired the status of an island where the European and then the American elite preferred to relax.

Like other seaside resorts, Hellas has a high beach season. Almost the entire coast and islands experience the heat of the day, when at lunchtime everyone hides in the shade. Beautiful landscapes with turquoise sea, white sandy beaches, amazing ancient monuments, surfing, diving make a holiday in Greece delightful. In Chalkidiki, Peloponnese, Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos, daytime air temperatures range from +29° to +33°. It is cooler in Thessaloniki +28°-29°C.

The water throughout the entire water area warms up to +24°C. The most comfortable weather (+29-32°C) is in Skiathos, Corfu, Thassos, Crete. The coolness of the night (+20°-21°C) compensates for the ordeal of the daytime heat. July is not the most suitable month for excursions to unique ancient attractions. Short inspections are carried out in the early morning hours and in the evening, before sunset. It is better to do this in a rented car with air conditioning.

But a beach holiday on a delightful coastline, with crystal clear water, marked with the Blue Flag in many places, is a real pleasure. The water off the coast warms up to +29°C, which is very good for children. You can have a great vacation on the islands of Rhodes, Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos, Chalkidiki, Zakynthos, etc. Boat trips, fishing, diving, staying in luxury hotels, evening entertainment with sirtaki, karaoke - unforgettable days in Greece.

• — private sandy beach, 9 swimming pools with fresh and sea water, water park, children's club, animation
• — ultra all-inclusive meals, first line, several swimming pools, including slides and sea water, entertainment for children and adults
• - all-inclusive meals, beach service (mineral water, iced tea and fruit), gourmet restaurants, hotel area - 58,000 m2

Bulgaria offers a slightly different type of holiday. Tourists can enjoy beautiful sandy beaches, as well as friendly Slavic service, which still retains all the flavor of Soviet sanatoriums. You can stay in one of the famous hotels, the cost of living in which is almost half that of their Western European colleagues. Almost all hotels in Bulgaria have three-star status, an acceptable level of comfort (for not too demanding clients) and affordable prices.

And in combination with excellent climatic conditions, the best qualities of which are revealed in the first days of the month, these resorts retain the title of the most popular and accessible for annual holidays. Air and water temperatures reach 29 and 25 degrees above zero, respectively. There are especially many vacationers with children, for whom the Bulgarian beaches have a special freedom - the entrance to the sea is gentle, the bottom is without flaws, and the cleanliness of the beaches is monitored daily by experienced and responsible staff. There are a huge number of water parks and other types of entertainment that young vacationers love so much.

Vietnam

Vietnam is not characterized by stable and uniform weather conditions, and therefore you should be more careful when choosing a resort, especially when the rainy season begins. Thus, resorts located in the north delight with hot tropical sun and the highest humidity levels. The temperature of water and air during the day is consistently around 30 degrees.

Among the northern resorts, it is worth paying attention to Sapa: the most beautiful mountain landscapes, stepped green terraces and the French poetics of architectural delights that appeared here mainly in the 19th century. One of the best southern resorts is Ho Chi Minh City, a huge metropolis that embodies the rapidly developing Vietnam. In summer, the rainy season is in full swing, the air temperature is slightly lower compared to the northern resorts - 28 degrees, but the water maintains its temperature before it begins to cool.

During this period, it is best to go on vacation to resorts in the central part of Vietnam, as the lowest humidity levels are recorded here, and the dry season begins. It is worth visiting Nha Trang, which, thanks to its advantageous geographical position, does not suffer from abnormal heat (up to 36 degrees), standing at 29 Celsius.

This small town personifies eternal summer and fun: beautiful sea views, a vibrant scattering of bars, clubs and casinos, ancient temples and ruins.

Thailand

As a rule, July is the peak of the rainy season. The air becomes humid due to heavy rainfalls, which, however, usually hit the ground in the evening or at night. Stuffiness covers the resorts of Thailand like a damp blanket when the sun is at its zenith. However, July is considered the best time to visit resorts such as Krabi, where daytime temperatures reach only 30 degrees, as well as Bangkok and Pattaya, where the air warms up a little more - an average of 32 degrees.

At the same time, the water temperature is relatively the same at all resorts, reaching 25 degrees. Despite the fact that Bangkok is not intended for a beach holiday and you can only swim here on the roofs of hotel complexes, it is best to start getting acquainted with Thailand from here. It’s worth taking a closer look, and in the shadows of a huge bustling metropolis, historical buildings and hundreds of temples are discovered - all the city’s arteries are permeated with Buddhism.

Krabi, despite the popular mistake of many travel agencies, is not just an island within the waters of Thailand, but an entire province, which is an area of ​​​​increased concentration of modern resorts focused on the beach holiday format. It is within Krabi that the country's most picturesque national parks are located.

Pattaya is perhaps the most famous resort city in the Gulf of Thailand and fully justifies its reputation as a tourist Mecca. The beaches here are not the cleanest, but it is in this city that you can try the most exotic food and entertainment, and you can visit the most beautiful beaches at any time - ferries depart from the local pier daily to all parts of the country.

• - located on the seafront, on Jomtien Beach, 3 free-form swimming pools, several restaurants and bars
• — located on the seashore, 2 swimming pools, a water park with water slides and exciting rides, several restaurants
• — located right on the coast, in a secluded bay, 10 bars and restaurants, children's club

Croatia

Other popular countries with access to the sea can boast similar climatic conditions. Croatia offers guests accommodation in a natural reserve, dominated by a temperate Mediterranean climate. There is practically no daytime heat here, as well as nighttime temperature changes. Tourists come here to recuperate and to join the traditions of a healthy lifestyle.

This trip is especially suitable for children. The sea coast is decorated with orderly rows of coniferous forests, which saturate the air with a mass of useful substances and microelements. Well, you can diversify your leisure time through numerous excursions. For 2017, tour operators offer seven-day tours with accommodation in excellent rooms at prices ranging from 33-39 thousand (two or three star hotels Adriatic, Plavi, Jadran Residence) to 78-79 thousand (five star hotels Sheraton Zagreb Hotel, The Westin Zagreb) .

Montenegro

The Montenegrin Adriatic is a fertile place for beach and sea holidays, when the height of the swimming season comes here. There is almost no rain, the daytime air warms up to +29-30°C. The transparent waters of the Adriatic Sea become like fresh milk - +25°-26°С (Budva, Podgorica, Tivat) If you add a variety of beaches, irresistibly beautiful views and relatively inexpensive prices to the pleasant weather factor, then Montenegro is difficult to resist.

Luxurious sandy beaches predominate in the resorts of the Budva Riviera (Becici, Przno, Rafailovichi, Kamenovo). The sand and pebble sections of the coast near the Tivat, Kotor-Risan bays, in the vicinity of Herceg Novi are good. You can choose the Grabl and Lustice peninsulas, with cozy coves. In Kotor, Perast, Dobrota, Prcan, the coastline is covered with pebbles or rocks.

Almost every resort town in Montenegro is a treasure trove of cultural and historical monuments. There are ancient monasteries, fortresses, churches, palaces in Kotor, Petrovac, Ulcinj, Cetinje, Herceg Novi, the islands of St. Stefan, Sveti Nikola and others. The Bay of Kotor, Lake Skadar, canyons, mountains create stunning landscapes from which impossible to take your eyes off.

The divine piece of the Black Sea coast, according to legend, given by God to the Abkhazians for their hospitality, fascinates with its landscapes. Picturesque peaks, mountain lakes, mysterious caves, ancient monasteries, forests - the richness of Abkhazia’s nature is not inferior to Montenegro. Despite the destruction caused by the war, the small country strives to welcome tourists with comfort.

Prices for hotel accommodation for private owners are much lower than at other Caucasian resorts. The weather here is mainly dictated by the Mediterranean subtropical climate. Although the relief features of different places bring their own nuances to the weather, almost throughout the entire territory the daytime temperature reaches +29-30°C. In Gagra, surrounded by mountains, at noon the air heats up to +35-37°C, and due to insufficient air circulation, humidity rises.

It is cooler in Pitsunda, Sukhumi, New Athos. In Pitsunda, New Athos, surrounded by lush greenery, there are many shady corners where it is easy to hide from the heat. The water everywhere off the coast reaches a comfortable +22-24°C. Beaches in Abkhazia for every taste: pebble sandy and sandy. Their infrastructure is somewhat inferior in quality to European beaches. There is rental of water sports equipment: aquacycles, inflatables, etc.

Great aesthetic pleasure is provided by excursions to unique natural sites: lakes Ritsa, Goluboe, Mzy, New Athos Cave, waterfalls, Bzyb Gorge, nature reserves. Children especially enjoy visiting the Sukhumi monkey nursery, which has begun to be revived. Tourists are pleased with the abundance of fruits and berries: pears, peaches, figs, melons, dogwoods.

The main activity will be staying on the coast. During comfortable tanning hours, the water is already warmed up to + 24⁰С, so swimming here is a pleasure. In the water area you will not meet poisonous jellyfish, snakes or predators, therefore, safe swimming is guaranteed. Despite the absence of winds, there are waves on the sea, but they are not so large as to interfere with swimming.

The sea near the coasts is perfectly clean. All beaches - paid and free - are impeccably maintained. Most of them are pebble and have a small width, so they can be overcrowded.

Lovers of sandy beaches should head to the island of Gozo, part of the Maltese archipelago.

Morocco is a kingdom located in northwest Africa, washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

On the Atlantic coast - in Agadir, the temperature is +34⁰C during the day and +24.7⁰C at night, the ocean is cool - 19.7⁰C. In Casablanca during the day about +29⁰С, at night – +21⁰С, sea – +22⁰С.

The entire coastline is sandy, stretching for 6 kilometers, with little beach infrastructure.

Another famous resort is Saidia. The beach strip of clean, crisp sand here stretches for 14 kilometers. The hotels are focused on working on an all-inclusive basis, so there are many Russian tourists in the city. Of the Atlantic Ocean resorts, the largest is the white city of Agadir, located on the southwest coast. More than 40 luxury hotels, a delightful snow-white sandy beach area with shallow waters up to 30 meters, many restaurants and attractions.

A memorable beach holiday for “wave tamers” – surfers – can take place in Essaouira.

Casablanca is an exotic place with landscaped white beaches and ancient attractions. Despite the heat, thanks to the ocean winds, it is easily tolerated here, but the water in the ocean remains cool.

Portugal can also please tourists with good conditions for relaxing on the seashore. Of course, compared to its European competitors, this country is famous for its cooler climate: the air warms up only to +25 degrees, and the water temperature is 19 degrees above zero. But don’t forget about the island of Madeira, which is very popular among vacationers. Comfortable conditions for swimming and sunbathing remain here until October!

Madeira itself is famous for its attractions and amazing nature. This trip will appeal to all connoisseurs of clean air, pristine beauty and natural food. In addition, those who love quality wine will find something to suit their tastes here. And so that the vacation also has a healing effect, tourists are offered to become addicted to the local mineral springs.

The only downside to a holiday in Madeira is the steep slopes to the sea. To get to the shore you have to overcome dozens of meters along steep stairs. But if you can afford a room in an expensive hotel, there is no need to worry about this, because hotels offer their guests the opportunity to go down to the sea by elevator. It is also worth choosing Portugal because the famous regatta takes place here - a competition on Portuguese boats, the Muliseiro.

Multiple fairs and the Ria festival will also help diversify your vacation. Wine connoisseurs are advised to go to Bombarrale, where a traditional wine festival takes place in mid-summer. Of course, a trip to Portugal cannot be called affordable. The cost of exciting tours starts from 50-60 thousand rubles. But if you want to travel to this amazing country on your own, you can save a lot of money.

Resorts of Russia

Don’t forget about the possibility of having a good and affordable holiday within your home country. The resorts of the Black Sea and Azov coasts are gaining popularity, on the territory of which a very attractive climate is established. Tourists who come to recuperate their children will also find a resort to their liking.

For young vacationers, sanatoriums and children's camps located in Evpatoria, Yalta, Feodosia and Sudak are suitable. You shouldn’t discount the excellent conditions for recreation on the coast of the Krasnodar Territory, Anapa and Gelendzhik. There are excellent offers for tourists with a minimum budget for a vacation.

The deserted coast and bays of the southern coast of Crimea deserve their attention, which are so loved by tourists that they relax in the “wild” style. The air temperature in Crimea reaches its maximum and will remain at the level of these indicators until the beginning of autumn. In other resort areas of the country - Sochi, Anapa, etc. – the air warms up to 27-28 degrees plus, and the water temperature remains at 22-23 degrees Celsius.

Don’t forget about the accessibility of domestic resorts. You can get to the Black Sea or Azov coast by both land and air transport. Family tourists prefer to travel by private car, and young people often resort to hitchhiking.

Tourists will not be required to apply for a visa or international passport, and the money saved can be spent on nice gifts for family or staying a few more days at your favorite resort!

1. Prague, Czech Republic)

We visited here for the first time during the New Year holidays in 2015. We visited again in the summer of 2016 and spring of 2018.

The main advantages of Prague are, firstly, accessibility (there are daily flights from Moscow and St. Petersburg for 6-7 thousand rubles) and budget (prices correspond to Russian ones, and for some cost categories they are even lower). Secondly, in addition to the huge number of attractions of Prague itself, there is also a lot of interesting things in its surroundings and neighboring cities.

2. Montenegro

We discovered this country in May 2014, when it was just gaining popularity among our compatriots. Since then, we have visited it several times, both at the height of summer and during the velvet season. Last visit - July 2017.

11. Helsinki (Finland)

As advocates of smart consumption, we often try to budget wisely for our travels, which is why we have repeatedly used Helsinki Airport as a starting point. During all this time, we have managed to get to know this city quite closely and we are ready to give some useful advice.

Summer is in full swing, which means the most interesting time has come, and it’s time to go on a trip. In July, you can relax almost anywhere, well, maybe you should exclude a few countries where the combination of heat and high humidity will not bring you pleasure.

The main list of countries and tourist destinations in July is not much different from the June one, which can be found in the article “”.

I don’t want to repeat myself and will dwell in more detail only on some of the destinations that, according to experts from the travel industry and analysts from well-known travel websites, have aroused increased interest among Russians this summer.

As always, July is mainly a beach holiday. Voted for it (according to VTsIOM) - 38%, 25% of Russians want to improve their cultural level, learn new places and attractions, improve their health in sanatoriums - 21%, and just go around the expanses of their homeland and abroad with a backpack - 17%.

As for children's holidays: this summer, 12% of the surveyed parents plan to send their children on holiday to children's camps, to the dacha - 17%, to the Black Sea - 12%, on hikes - 2%, to other places - 9%, for milestone – 7%. But, unfortunately, a lot of children will remain at home - 37%.

Contrary to tradition, when we mainly considered holiday options abroad, today we will talk about holidays in July with children at Russian beach resorts and, above all, resorts on the Black Sea coast and Crimea, as well as in other cities of our country.

So, what to choose: resorts in Kuban, Crimea or holidays abroad?

Whatever the reasons, the number of Russians wishing to visit Crimea this summer has increased significantly. Attempts to compare Sochi and Crimea in terms of the number of people wishing to relax in them and presenting them as two competing tourist destinations are hardly advisable.

Many Russian resorts on the Black Sea coast and the Sea of ​​Azov with wonderful beaches are attractive for children's holidays. The following arguments are put forward in favor of Crimea: cleaner sea, beautiful nature, historical sights and, for now, lower prices.

The advantages of Sochi are a calmer political situation, developed tourist infrastructure, easier access to resorts, and many are attracted by the new Olympic venues.

If we compare, for example, with the most popular destination for summer holidays with children - with Turkey in terms of price-quality ratio, then this comparison is not yet in favor of the Russian resort.

The difficulty is that there are still very few package offers in Crimea. And by paying separately for accommodation, transfer and flights (even if air travel is cheap, which is not always possible), the cost of the tour turns out to be the same as to Turkey, and sometimes even more expensive. Unfortunately, most of the cost of the holiday is still consumed by travel.

But not everything is so gloomy. Experts assure that Crimea has good tourism potential: a unique healing climate, a large number of beaches (560) and their great length (more than 500 kilometers), the most interesting history of the peninsula, and the absence of problems with paperwork for departure. And over time, this resort region will be able to compete with Turkey, Egypt and other resorts abroad.

Where to relax with children in Crimea?

This summer, a lot of attention is being paid to organizing children's recreation in Crimean camps. The website of the Government of the Russian Federation reports that in the summer in Crimea more than 33 thousand children will be able to improve their health and relax at the expense of budget funds.

Holidays in the best new generation children's camps in Crimea, part of the Terra Unique network of development camps: "Mandarin" and "I&Camp" (resort village Peschanoye 60 km from Sevastopol and 65 kilometers from Simferopol airport) and "Kakadu" (Evpatoria) - attracts those who like to relax creatively, brightly and comfortably.

The conditions in these modern camps are approximately the same: 5 meals a day, rooms with amenities, well-maintained good beaches, a swimming pool, water slides. You can send your child on vacation for any number of days you need. The average price per day (food and accommodation) ranges from 1000 to 3200 rubles.

Approximate prices per shift (17 days) in some popular children's camps (excluding travel costs):

• “Mandarin” and “I&Camp” (Peschanoe village) – 36-43 thousand rubles
• “Cartoon” (Peschanoe village) – 28-36 thousand rubles
• “Kakadu” (Zaozernoye village, Evpatoria) – 30-37 thousand rubles
• “Crystal” (Alushta) – 25 thousand rubles
• “Artek” (Gurzuf village) – 21-48 thousand rubles.

The most expensive trips are in July.

You can have a good rest by traveling with the whole family through the cities of Crimea or by staying by the sea at one of its resorts, some of which are among the top thirty beach places in Russia. According to the rating of the cost of summer holidays conducted by the website Travel.ru, these are Feodosia (known for its wonderful sandy beaches), Evpatoria (a resort for families with children of any age), Sevastopol, Yalta, Sudak and Gurzuf.

The "excursion" in Crimea is also extremely interesting for both adults and children: the palaces of Livadia and Alupka, Bakhchisarai and Massandra, Nikitsky Botanical Garden, Swallow's Nest, monuments of Sevastopol, canyons, bays and waterfalls.

And if you add to this the Yalta water park "Blue Bay" and the zoo "Fairy Tale", in Evpatoria - "Dinopark", "Tropic Park", the tram "Milk Sea" (village tram), "Clown House", "Dolphinarium", the most a large water park in Crimea - "Banana Republic Aquaparkos", in Feodosia - the Karadag Dolphinarium, in Sevastopol - the Zurbagan water park, a dolphinarium and the Sevastopol Aquarium, in Kerch - an ostrich farm - your children will be happy from such an abundance of interesting entertainment.

And one more feature of the current summer season, which makes holidays in Crimea profitable, is that tempting special offers have been created for tourists, discounts on air tickets, new interesting tourist routes are being developed, and all-inclusive offers have begun to appear more and more often.

Best prices for tours to Crimea

How much does a ticket to Crimea cost?

The bulk of tourists (65%) used to come by car or train. Now, as an alternative, holidaymakers are offered ferry and air services.

The most convenient and fastest plane is undoubtedly. From June 1 to October 31, 2014, flights from Russian cities (there are already 33 of them today) to Simferopol will be operated at a good discount and at a special fare. And straight from the airport, comfortable buses will take tourists anywhere: to Sevastopol, Yalta, Evpatoria or Feodosia.

True, it is no longer possible to buy a ticket for two, three, four thousand now, because cheap tickets were sold out at the end of May.

The emergence of a Russian low-cost airline has increased the chances of having an inexpensive vacation in Crimea. Naturally, the cheapest tickets (from 999 rubles one way) have long been sold out, and the fewer days remain until the end of the summer season (flights will operate until September 20), the more rapidly the number of tickets with good fares decreases.

Ferries and high-speed catamarans Sochi-1 and Sochi-2, which deliver tourists along the route Anapa - Kerch" and "port Caucasus - Kerch". The cost of travel on a catamaran is, of course, more expensive than on a ferry (instead of 162 rubles - 1000 rubles), but it is faster and there are fewer queues (however, you cannot cross on a catamaran with a car).

And from June 1, high-speed catamarans entered the route Anapa - Feodosia - Yalta. You can get from Anapa to Yalta in 6.5 hours and in 3 hours from Anapa to Feodosia. Ticket prices: Anapa – Yalta – 2.7 thousand rubles, Anapa – Feodosia – 1.5 thousand rubles, Feodosia – Yalta – 1.2 thousand rubles. Children under 6 years old can travel for free, and children from 6 to 12 years old can travel for half the price of an adult ticket.

The operating schedule of ferries and catamarans can be found on the website of the Unified Transport Directorate.

Resorts of the Krasnodar region

Among the resorts in the Krasnodar Territory, Anapa and Gelendzhik are traditionally in greatest demand for families with children.

This year, new facilities and new opportunities that have appeared in Sochi after the Olympics are very attractive to vacationers.

The number of hotel complexes has increased and, accordingly, the number of rooms of varying degrees of comfort and price: from inexpensive 3* hotels to luxury “fives”. For a family holiday you can rent an apartment.

Accordingly, the price range is large. You can stay for 300-500 rubles a day in a mini-hotel, or you can, for example, for 8 thousand rubles a day in a 5* hotel.

In addition, the popular all-inclusive holiday format is now increasingly found in Sochi hotels.

Best prices for tours to Sochi

Sochi novelties

The Imeretinsky resort area, built around the Sochi Olympic Park, is new this summer season. 3-5* hotels provide quality service and comfortable conditions, animation, and spa centers. On the territory of the resort there is a new long embankment and a wide pebble beach.

And next to the Olympic Park there is the recently opened Sochi Park theme park, which all guests of the city and, first of all, children simply must visit.

Right on the territory of the amusement park is the Bogatyr Hotel, stylized as a medieval castle and decorated with fabulous interiors, which opened at the end of June.

The hotel accepts children of any age; the approximate cost of accommodation with breakfast for 1 person is from 3,450 rubles per day.

New opportunities have appeared for those living in luxury hotels in Krasnaya Polyana, built for winter holidays. The summer season started here in June. This means a good holiday at lower prices, visiting cable cars, walking along picturesque mountain paths, and having fun in water parks.

Transport accessibility is another advantage of Krasnodar resorts. Very quickly and conveniently you can get to Gelendzhik, Sochi (2 hours from Moscow and 3 hours from St. Petersburg), Anapa and Krasnodar by plane. Ticket prices (July prices) from Moscow to Sochi - from 10,574 rubles (round trip), from St. Petersburg - from 12,055 rubles per person.

You can also get there by train, bus, car or sea.

• the village of Nebug (Tuapse district of the Krasnodar Territory) with the famous dolphinarium

Anapa has all the conditions for an ideal children's holiday (within the city there are a large number of children's health facilities, plenty of entertainment, absence of sweltering heat, comfortable water temperature and affordable prices).

Among the children's camps, “Orlyonok” (Tuapse district of the Krasnodar Territory) attracts the attention of parents. Accommodation there, according to experts, for a shift (21 days) will cost from 45 to 65 thousand rubles, plus the cost of a ticket to Tuapse from Moscow (9500-9900 rubles).

I wrote more about the resorts of the Krasnodar region in one of the previous articles.

And, of course, in addition to the famous and beloved resorts of the South of Russia, there are other places for beach holidays in our country.

Resorts and beaches of the Baltic Sea

Zelenogradsk

This ancient seaside resort (once a royal resort) on the Baltic Sea is located 30 kilometers from Kaliningrad at the very beginning of the Curonian Spit. The height of the swimming season falls right in mid-July (the water temperature at this time is +20°C).

The water warms up quickly, a flat, gently sloping bottom, golden beaches, a mild climate, its own mineral springs, sea air saturated with minerals and iodine, healthy mud, the absence of heat and sudden changes in time zones and climate - all this makes holidays with children in Zelenogradsk useful and healthy.

Also, on some routes for tourists, inexpensive travel on aquabuses and tourist Meteors from Palace Embankment to Peterhof has resumed.
