The best beach holiday destinations. Abkhazia: a budget option

Despite the fact that I was completely confident in the excellent state of my own health, I became scared. And here Natasha came to the rescue. At the stall with the inscription Best Food. A couple of meters away from us, two thin-necked sergeants were indeed peacefully eating cakes with meat. I started the engine and rushed to the address indicated by Kiryushka. My heart was restless. I turned my head and saw two policemen. Standing a bit away from. Who Alice was remained a mystery, but I was not going to solve it.

We saw a ladder made of steel bars. Without thinking twice, I climbed up, deciding that the panel opens in the same way as the one through which we got into the tunnel. She rested her hands against the wall, pushed it away, climbed out into which one. That little room and said Vanya. There was a sniffling, and later Ivan's voice sounded in complete darkness. I was confused, but optimistically answered. At that very moment, the closet lit up with light, I closed my eyes. I was standing in the toilet. Two toilet bowls without toilet seats and drain tanks amused the ear. Peacefully murmuring water. There was a strong smell of bleach, the doorway was closed with a net, and beyond. Squirrel, Misha and two gloomy men with machine guns were standing. I glared at the guys with the guns and blurted out.

I stretched again. It was behind a mirror, but here a passerby pointed his finger in the direction of my typewriter and continued. I surveyed the offended Zhiguli, picked up the sneakers that fell out of the box and grunted. The man pouted, puffed for a couple of minutes and declared. Here I am slapping into the store, holding in my fist the pennies given out by Raisa for a bottle of beer. Zhigulevsky in those years in Moscow was. To get it, as soon as the lighted boxes arrived in the shops, a horde of peasants stormed the counters, shouting. Sobbing, I laid out the essence of the matter to her, told her about Raisa, beer, coins, the sewerage network ... The woman shoved the banknote into my fist by force. The door to Zalygina's apartment was open and propped up with a stool, and on the stairs, on the windowsill, sat a woman in shorts and a T-shirt smeared with paint. The girl jumped off the windowsill, put her hands on her hips and barked. I noticed that her voice had changed and repeated it. Nika bit her lower lip, then decisively shook her hair and again rushed into battle. I quietly listened to the already well-known story about cheating with things. I nodded. I know this place.

I had to obey. Almira lived in a brand new house, in a multi-room apartment filled with expensive furniture. I opened. There was a mouth, but here the sharp ringing of the phone made me flinch. Almira grabbed the phone. Then she looked at. Suddenly I was offended. But Almira is an extremely nasty person. I silently walked to the door. I quickly ran to the door. And before that Almira managed to get up from the sofa, pulled the handle, jumped into the elevator and after a few minutes was in the six.

My phone rang in my pocket, I hurriedly left Krestov to deal with the numb Zhanna. She looked at the screen of the tube and said quickly. A male voice came from the cell phone. Tenacity hired by Max. The actor admired. Another would have long realized that he played his role poorly, he was seen through. It's time to stop fiddling. But no, the fool keeps talking about the chest and the chicken. Well, at the moment he will get it from me ... Silence hung in the receiver. A lady's voice cut through, chattering in English. I turned around, saw an attractive lady in a blue dress and asked. For a few moments the woman chattered at machine-gun speed, then fell silent, paused and looked at.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. In this publication, I want to briefly talk about the most popular places, or rather about the countries where you can go vacation without a visa.

The list of visa-free countries for Russian citizens is up-to-date for 2016-2017 and is based on reliable information from the Consular Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry. So if you decide, for every fireman, to double-check the article below, you are welcome here.

There are about 67 of them (visa-free countries) in total. At the end of the article you will find a complete list of them, and now we will consider the 10 most popular of them among our compatriots.

Thailand. Visa-free stay up to 30 days

The first place could be given to Turkey or Egypt, if not for one BUT. And significant. In November 2015, the Turkish Air Force shot down a Russian military aircraft that allegedly violated its air border, after which tour operators were banned from selling tours to this country, and also suspended regular flights to Turkey from Russia. Now, a year and a half later, they have reopened, but the Russian tourist has not yet managed to return this country to the first place in popularity among tourist countries.

Egypt is in trouble. After the Russian civil aircraft A321 was shot down in the sky over Egypt, flights from Russia to this country ceased. At the moment, active checks are being carried out by special forces. services of both countries in terms of improving the security of Russian tourists.

Therefore, Thailand! You do not need a visa if your stay in this country is no more than 30 days. Some of the most popular cities in Thailand are Phuket, Koh Samui and Chiang Mai. Why didn't I specify the city of Pattaya? Most likely because recently the tourists who have returned from another trip are not flattering about it. They say: "..there is nothing to do, one small street with entertainment, and the beaches are far from clean." Therefore, if you want to please the eye, you can try to swim to the neighboring islands by ferry. You can also read about that - a rather interesting article with many photos about the trip.

I will add that at the beginning of 2017, interest in Turkey begins to gain momentum and tour operators, having caught this trend, begin to offer incredibly profitable ones. If we consider a ticket for the end of June, then you can fly for 14 days to a 5-star hotel with a family of 2 adults and 2 children over 2 years old for 100 tr. (all inclusive). By comparison, Bulgaria also offers tours for 195-250 tr on such conditions.

Israel

Israel is increasingly attracting tourists from Russia. Pilgrims are attracted by numerous biblical shrines, tourists who want to relax - numerous beaches, interesting sights. For the latter, three seas are available at once: the Dead, the Mediterranean and the Red. On the Dead Sea - mud baths, on the Mediterranean - waves, magnificent sunsets, on the red - a charming underwater world and magnificent sandy beaches

Vietnam

Vietnam. Visa-free stay up to 15 days

A country where you can have a great two weeks not only basking in the sun, lying on the beach, but also actively traveling to various attractions, of which there are a great many in Vietnam. An extensive hotel base will allow travelers to easily find places to stay for the night of various categories. Vietnam is ancient shrines, temple complexes of unknown civilizations, delicious and healthy food, one of the cheapest diving in the world.

Montenegro

Montenegro (Montenegro) is an exotic country with a mild climate and beautiful nature. It is in demand among lovers of budget holidays on the Adriatic Sea. To stay in this country, Russian citizens will need a confirmation of their place of residence, in fact an ordinary hotel reservation, at least for a day if you want to travel around this country and have not yet made a final itinerary. Popular among tourists are the island of Sveti Stefan, Becici and Budva. The climate in Montenegro is similar to the climate in Crimea.

Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is a paradise surrounded by the waves of the Caribbean Sea in the east of the island of Haiti. Endless beaches with white sand and gentle azure sea, coral reefs, palm trees and bright sun - that exotic, for which tourists tired of the daily routine go. Sights worthy of the attention of tourists - national parks and local architecture delight the eye. The resorts that are most popular among tourists are Punta Cana, Puerto Plata and La Romana. Deserves special attention. People from all over the world come here to dive into the underwater world.

Unfortunately, holidays in the Dominican Republic are far from being budgetary, due, at least, to the high cost of a round trip flight. Plus, a 14-hour flight from Moscow is far from pleasing to everyone.

Cuba

Cuba. Visa-free stay up to 30 days

Cuba is the Island of Freedom, a country friendly to Russia. Magnificent nature, delightful old towns, luxurious beaches, warm climate, fragrant cigars and delicious rum - a real Caribbean exotic. But again, for tourists with an income above average. Although despite the high cost, the influx of tourists increases all year round. From entertainment: diving, snorkeling, yachting and excellent fishing off the coast for marlin. Some of the most popular resorts are Havana, Holguin, Varadero, Guardalavaca, Playa Esmeralda and Coco and Largo Islands.

Cyprus

Cyprus is an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. For Russian tourists, a visa is issued upon arrival, or you can apply for a pro-visa online in advance. Unlike the climate in Turkey, Cyprus is not so humid. The climate is very mild, it is always warm here, the sea is clean, the beaches are sandy. Service in hotels is quite adequate, because the country is in the European Union. Prices are relatively low, although some may argue;).

You can see both local architecture and religious sites in Cyprus. If there is a desire to have fun, then you can go to the resort town of Ayia Napa.

Maldives

The Maldives are picturesque places in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. One of the best exotic places. About 1000 islets (atolls) with blue lagoons, white sandy beaches and diverse vegetation. Entirely and completely is a resort area for a relaxing romantic getaway. A high level of service is the main advantage of these places. Most tourists like to relax on the beaches of the North and South Atolls. Ari Atoll is suitable for outdoor enthusiasts, Baa Atoll for peace and tranquility, and Lavian Atoll for those who want to admire the splendor of the ocean.

Malaysia

Malaysia boasts not only the magnificent beaches of Kalimantan, but also the unprecedented architecture of its capital, Kuala Lumpur. Virgin nature, clean beaches and excellent service are worth a look, especially since the cost of a tourist package to these places is not so exorbitant, compared to some members of this top ten. The flight for a tourist from Russia is long, this is a fact, but the fact that upon arrival he will be able to see it is beyond words. Luxurious hotels and excellent diving, combined with a varied and delicious gastronomy, will not leave anyone indifferent to this wonderful country.

Argentina

Argentina is first of all bright and interesting impressions for any tourist. The birthplace of tango, real steaks. Here you can admire the beauty of the Andes, the huge glaciers, the Iguazu Falls, wander through various museums and look at the silver mines. Of the minuses - a long flight, and of course its cost. On average, for a week per person, a ticket will be about 70 tr (including flights, accommodation and breakfast at the hotel). For those who have never been to this colorful and rich in its sights country, I recommend it.

The most popular beach holiday destinations on the "Subtleties of Tourism"

Beach holidays are the most "relaxed" of all ways to spend your vacation! After a busy year of work, one wants nothing more than to lie exhausted and dreamy on a deck chair, exposing the body, exhausted in labor and worries, to the life-giving sun and invigorating breeze. Just two weeks of the right pastime in the peaceful surroundings of nature, combined with sea bathing and sunbathing, is guaranteed to bring even the most tortured middle manager back to life. Fortunately, there are plenty of seas on the planet, and the countries located on their blessed shores prudently equipped them with everything necessary to invite tourists - from all-inclusive hotels to umbrellas with a straw crown, the mere sight of blades of grass waving in the wind plunges you into deep zen . So, what are the most popular beach holiday destinations?

Mediterranean is our everything

If for our mothers and grandmothers the word "sea" was associated primarily with the Crimea or Abkhazia, then for us foreign shores come to the fore. The Mediterranean Sea is without exaggeration the most popular beach region on the planet: it is located between Europe, Africa and Asia, and as many as 22 states share its beautiful beaches! A significant contribution to the popularity of the Mediterranean among vacationers was made by two "monsters" of beach tourism - Turkey and Egypt, which only a lazy or staunch nihilist has not visited.

The season in the Mediterranean lasts in general from May to October with a peak of warm water in July-August and a velvet season in September.

Mediterranean beaches - for every taste: sandy (not only with yellow or light sand, but also with black and even red!), sand and pebble, pebble and artificial platforms, arranged where the coastline is rocky and this makes it difficult to descend into the water.

The most popular beach holiday destinations in the Mediterranean - in addition to the mentioned Turkey and Egypt - Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Italy, France. A nice feature of the Mediterranean holidays is the ability to choose a country of interest: for example, in France you can soar in the charm of the Cote d'Azur, in Spain - combine beaches with tango, jamon, shopping and magnificent museums, in Tunisia - feel the breath of the Sahara and the aroma of the East.

Calming Adriatic

Formally, the Adriatic Sea is a part of the Mediterranean, closed between the Apennine Peninsula and the Balkans. But from the point of view of a tourist, this is a special region, with unique nature, a measured nature of recreation and a special charming atmosphere of “modest” Europe. The main beach region here is the Balkans, which we have loved since Soviet times, and there the championship belongs to Croatia, which has received almost 1800 km of magnificent beaches from nature and history, many of which are regularly awarded the Blue Flag. However, Italy also “grabbed off” its piece of the Adriatic - it owns the entire western coast, no more, no less than 1000 km.

The season on the Adriatic Sea is almost identical to the Mediterranean: you can get naked on the beach starting from May, swim - from June, most pleasantly - in July and August. In September, it is good to go here for those who do not like the heat, and the beach season ends in October.

In addition to Italy and Croatia - the main tourism in the Adriatic - you should pay attention to the resorts of Montenegro, Albania and Slovenia. They are less crowded with tourists and here you can merge with nature. A pleasant moment: despite the fact that all the Adriatic states belong to Europe, a visa is not required to visit Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania in the summer.

native seas

Despite the seeming abundance of seas on all sides of our vast, not everyone is suitable for a beach holiday. Most of them belong to the Arctic Ocean basin, which, without the need for further explanation, reflects the climatic conditions in the region. However, the seas from the eastern borders of the motherland, for nothing that belong to the Pacific Ocean - alas, cannot boast of the landscapes of Poly-, Mela- or Micronesia: in the Far East of Russia, beach tourism is developed, to put it mildly, not much.

Therefore, our domestic everything is the Black Sea, the beaches of which regularly accept fans of budget holidays who want to combine relaxation with treatment, as well as children, for whom there are a lot of summer camps.

The Baltic Sea is noticeably inferior to the Black Sea in popularity among beachgoers - they come here for another. Breathe in the smell of pine forests mixed with the sea breeze, wander along sandbars, collect drops of amber on deserted beaches and enjoy pleasant solitude and comfortable air temperature even in the height of summer.

exotic seas

Sometimes you want not only a lazy pastime on a sun lounger, but also vivid impressions - for this you should go to Southeast Asia or to exotic islands. Thailand firmly holds the championship in marine exoticism, where, despite the long flight and not the lowest prices, Russian tourists regularly travel. Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and a whole scattering of islands will allow you to choose the right atmosphere for you - complete immersion in debauchery and vice, virgin nature and peace or stunning ancient sights at your side.

The Maldives and Seychelles are ahead of the rest in terms of a very high-quality beach holiday in the entourage of paradise.

The Maldives and Seychelles are ahead of the rest in terms of a very high-quality beach holiday in the entourage of paradise. Despite the high cost of recreation, these destinations are well "knurled" among Russian tourists. Among the advantages are comfortable conditions for recreation throughout the year with air temperatures in the range of +26 ... + 30 ° C and only slightly lower ocean warming. Of the minuses - the lack of a "tourist" ... however, having soaked up in the atmosphere of Eden, tourists do not even think about excursions.
