Popular countries for beach holidays. Where to relax on the Black Sea - the best resorts in Russia

Ecology of life: In any incomprehensible situation, go to the sea. And to make it easier to decide, we chose countries where there is a minimum of fuss with documents, and a maximum of sea and sun. We change the rustle of papers for the rustle of the surf at the best rate!

9 best places for a beach holiday with the motto “pick up and fly away”

Turkey

In one trip to Turkey, you can visit Europe and Asia, swim in the four seas, find yourself in the Country beautiful horses, find a real treasure in the oriental bazaar and lose the sense of time and space on the travertine terraces of Pamukkale.

There are more than enough amazing beaches in Turkey: get acquainted with the top seven according to a local resident or make your own top. The gentle waves and golden sands are accompanied by bright summer fun. Just do not forget that the sea in the north warms up later, so connoisseurs of ancient ruins, rather than beaches, often go to the Black Sea coast of Turkey. The Sea of ​​Marmara is more conducive to an active (or vice versa - as you like it!) Beach holiday, but the water before the beginning of June is still too invigorating. The universally recognized "sunbath" of Turkey is, of course, the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea in the south. Here, the infrastructure of eternal summer is thought out to the smallest detail, and everyone will find a place to their liking - someone in a sun lounger, someone on the crest of a wave. The coast of the Aegean Sea is ideal for beginner divers, rafting along mountain rivers awaits extreme people, and romantics can take a trip on a yacht, which at night can turn into a foamy party right on the deck. But there are also water parks that easily blur the line between children and adults! Emotion splash champions include Dedeman in Bodrum, Aqua Fantasy in Izmir and Water Planet in Alanya. And when you get tired of unbridled fun, welcome to the hammam - for peace and renewal.

And what about the visa? The Republic of Turkey is hospitable to the inhabitants of Russia: you can rest in the country without a visa and fees for up to 60 days, and to stay for another 3 months, it is enough to pay 149 Turkish liras.

South Korea

Still want to relax "not like everyone else"? Then head for South Korea, framed on three sides by the beaches of the Yellow, Japan and East China Seas.

Seoul residents love sunbathing on the country's east coast, especially since a beach holiday here is so easy to combine with health care and cultural experiences. The city of Sokcho, for example, is famous for the Cheoksan hot spring spa resort, Seoraksan Mountain Nature Park, the 8th-century three-story Hyangseongsaji Pagoda, and the 18th-century Sinheungsa Buddhist monastery. People go to another popular South Korean resort - to Gangneung - not only for a golden tan, but also to admire the bizarre Muryn Gorge and Guryong Waterfall, which seems to have descended from a classic Chinese miniature.

The peak of solar activity in South Korea is observed on the tangerine island of Jeju and on the “cow island” of Udo, 3.5 km to the east (Koreans see a cow on the map lying down to rest, hence the name). All conceivable beach activities are included, but the crowds of tourists are right there. If this is a fat minus for you, take a closer look at the snow-white beaches of the Yellow Sea in the south-west of the country. The official tourist website of the country (in Russian) will help you navigate the main resorts of South Korea.

And what about the visa? You can enjoy a beach holiday in South Korea for at least 60 days in a row - and no visa is needed! But what you need is a valid passport and ease of climbing.

Maldives

What unites Anastasia Volochkova, David Beckham, divers and newlyweds? Of course, love for Maldives. Anomalous activity discovered at this year-round resort: life-changing!

In the Maldives, it is equally great to explore the underwater world with scuba gear and admire the shades of the sky with an exotic cocktail. Here, to this day, you can find a secluded beach and corners untouched nature, despite the abundance of luxury hotels, romantic villas, pretentious restaurants and spas. In fact, there are so many hotels on the islands that some did not even have enough space on the shore.

The beaches of North Male Atoll are closest to the airport. Ari Atoll is famous for its calm sea, convenient access to coral reefs and proximity to marine reserves. 130 km south of Male on white sands and clear waters Miimu Atoll spelled out giant sea ​​turtles, but on the most southern islands Maldives - Addu Atoll - you can get a certificate of crossing the equator in between.

And what about the visa? The gates of heaven open easily: free visa to the Maldives for 30 days is issued to Russians directly at Male airport.

Cyprus

To wallow by the pool, knowing that two steps away - the ruins of thousand years of history, impossible / doubly pleasant (underline as appropriate). Aphrodite herself must have endowed this island with the ability to fall in love with herself.

Reversing the saying, we can say about Cyprus: how many people, so many beaches. For example, Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa was created for youth parties and resort acquaintances, and on the beach of Fig Tree Bay in the same Ayia Napa, it is ideal to relax with children. The quiet picturesque village of Protaras is also famous for its wonderful conditions for family vacations, and there is also an elite Sunrise with luxury hotels and Konnos Bay, which will appeal to lovers of secluded relaxation. Do not forget about the obligatory point of the program - reset a couple of years by swimming in the bay of Aphrodite between Limassol and Paphos. By the way, they say that lovers who swim together around the rocks of the goddess of love will never part.

If you manage to tear yourself away from the sun lounger, it's worth tickling your nerves on the uncompromising rides of Water World or diving to the sunken ship. And it is best to wash down impressions with royal commandaria wine!

And what about the visa? It takes only one day to obtain a Single Entry Pro-Visa for Cyprus. With it, you can sunbathe under the hot Cypriot sun for up to 90 consecutive days. If you are going to enter Cyprus several times within six months, it is also easy to apply for a multiple-entry visa at the consulate.

Montenegro

On the Montenegrin coast, in addition to the warm clear sea from June to October, you will find medieval fortresses, Venetian palaces, Christian monasteries and Turkish aqueducts. Near the town of Herceg Novi, in the resort of Igalo, you can pamper yourself with spa treatments with therapeutic mud. At least a couple of days should be devoted to the continental part of Montenegro: breathe in the aromas of a pine forest in the stunning Durmitor National Park with crystal lakes and the Tara River Gorge, or get to Skadar Lake, along the banks of which ancient fortresses and monasteries are scattered.

Diving, rafting, trekking - whatever attracts you during your summer holidays, the Montenegrin resorts of the Bay of Kotor and the Adriatic are at your service. Choose a beach to your liking - and go ahead, relax alone with nature!

And what about the visa? If you are traveling to Montenegro for less than a month, you will not need a visa.

Abkhazia

Down with language barriers! You can safely travel to hospitable and in every sense warm Abkhazia with children without knowledge of foreign languages ​​and even without a passport. The only but: make sure that you do not inadvertently end up on the territory of Georgia.

However, you are unlikely to want to leave Abkhazia at all: the pebble beaches of Gagra, Pitsunda and Gudauta are clean, serene and sparsely populated, time has no power over the beauties of Lake Ritsa, the number of balneological boarding houses is only growing, and salmon with trout and horse mackerel with sturgeon in the local rivers and the Black the sea is not translated.

The thirst of hunters for cultural impressions will be quenched by New Athos with the famous monastery and Sukhumi with the Bagrati castle, the Kelasuri wall and the ancient botanical garden. And with quenching your appetite in the regions where they invented hominy, mint cheese ashvchapan and adjika, there will definitely be no problems. And you know what, it’s still worth learning one word in the Abkhazian language: tell the locals “itabup” - “thank you” - they will be pleased!

And what about the visa? To enter Abkhazia, Russians do not need a visa or a passport (an ordinary one is enough). Fly to Adler, from where it is only 10 km along the Psou River to the Abkhazian border. On border control you will need to take out compulsory accident insurance in the amount of 30,000 rubles. The insurance premium upon entry for 1 day is 15 rubles, and if you stay longer, 10 rubles for each day of your stay in Abkhazia. Read more about the beauties and beaches on the official tourism website of Abkhazia.

Israel

Do you feel that both the soul and the body need healing? Then Israel is just what the doctor ordered. Maybe local attractions and placebos, but they still work!

Sea adventures in Israel can be started already in the reckless and party Tel Aviv. On the local Mediterranean coast, all conditions are created for sports recreation: Tennis and volleyball can be played on Gordon Beach opposite the Sheraton Hotel, and Hilton Beach is popular with surfers. Life is in full swing on the portside beach of Hof a-Metzitzim, about which even a movie was made: here you will find a colorful market, trendy bars, and designer boutiques - and everything is within walking distance from the beach umbrella. And the calmest beaches of Tel Aviv are Alma in the south, near ancient Jaffa, and Banana Beach, where locals like to relax with the whole family, but it is never crowded.

The Red Sea is warmer than the Mediterranean, so the real resort splendor of Israel is revealed in Eilat. The local pearl is the coral beach Hof Almog. In its southern part, closer to the Egyptian Taba, kitesurfers catch the winds, and the north of the beach is created for diving, which you will tell your grandchildren about.

If you want to forget about problems and feel complete peace, go to the Dead Sea. You can hardly learn to walk on water, but you can try yourself in the role of Benjamin Button: rejuvenation at local salt and mud resorts is guaranteed. On the road - a few more ideas with which to combine a beach holiday in Israel.

And what about the visa? Residents of Russia can enter Israel without a visa as long as they want, the main thing is to spend no more than 90 days in the country in six months. Just make sure that your passport is valid for 6 months from the date of arrival, and prepare documents that may be useful at the border.

Morocco

So far, the Russians have tasted only two Moroccan resorts - Agadir and Essaouira, both on the shores of the Atlantic. If you are not too lazy to drive 160 km to the south, take such a selfie against the backdrop of the red rocks of Legzira that you have never had so many “likes”. And if you're up for more for a rare experience, head to Dakhla. The water in the ocean here is +25 ° C all year round, and instead of crowds of tourists there are rare monk seals and a flock of surfers who compare Phum Labuir beach with Hawaii. Here you can go fishing or rent an SUV and go deep into Western Sahara to master the life of real nomads - such a vacation will not be forgotten! And to save on vacation, take a look at the newly opened resorts north of Agadir - Taghazout, Mazagan and Lixus.

There are also secluded beaches on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco. Take a closer look at the picturesque carved strip between Tangier and El Hoceima: the sea is gentle here, and many beaches, along with quiet fishing villages, are buried in paradise greenery. If you prefer an all-inclusive holiday, you will love new resort Tamuda Bay in the vicinity of Tetouan and Saidia in Berkan near the border with Algeria. Opposite Spanish Andalusia, by the way, there is a huge tourist complex of Mediterrania-Saidia with a yacht club and a golf course.

In addition to a beach holiday, it is worth visiting the capital of Morocco, Rabat (the minimum program is the Royal Palace and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V), Marrakech (what will conquer you - the Old City "medina" or the new Ville Nouvelle area?), Casablanca (maybe you will hear echoes of cinematic passions ) and Fez (especially good for leisurely walks through the gardens and a cup of mint tea in a cute cafe). We also advise you to wander through the blue labyrinths of the mountainous Chefchaouen, which entered the top of the brightest cities in the world according to Skyscanner. A bonus for fans of Game of Thrones and other movie epic masterpieces: some scenes with the Mother of Dragons were filmed in the medieval ksar of Ait Ben Haddu.

And what about the visa? Citizens of Russia can rest in Morocco for up to 90 consecutive days without a visa, but the passport must be valid until the end of the trip. On the plane, you will need to fill out a migration card.

Madagascar

“Well, I asked, don’t bother me when I dream. If I'm all in the astral plane, don't get involved!" - striped Marty said to his friend Alex the lion. Make sure that the cartoon island of Madagascar really exists, and no one will forbid you to fulfill your dreams here.

The company on vacation on the fourth largest island in the world will be made up of motley lemurs, colorful geckos, beak-breasted turtles, panther chameleons, pharaoh mice and - now attention! - hands ah-ah. If you think that these are all the surprises of nature that await you in Madagascar, it was not there. Landscapes on the island-reserve succeed each other, as in a kaleidoscope: just now you were walking among the baobabs, when you suddenly found yourself near a rice field or a dormant volcano. To one side is a sun-dried valley, turn your head, and you have evergreen mangroves in front of you. Here is the stone forest of Tsingy de Bemaraha, here are the graceful orchids of the Montagne d'Ambre park, and here is the fabulous azure coast with white sand.

The west and north of Madagascar are perfect for a beach holiday in summer: precipitation is rare here, the water off the coast of Morondava is never cooler than +25 ºС, and on the island of Nosy Be there is always saturated humid air, warmed up to comfortable + 26-28 ºС. If you can’t stand the humidity, head to the resorts of the Anakao Peninsula in the southwest: here the climate is semi-desert with a fresh breeze. On the famous island of St. Mary (Nosy Buraha, aka Ile Sainte Marie), sunny weather most often lasts from late August to December (in July-September, you can also watch whales). If you are driving south east coast, to the coral beach of Fulpoint (Mahavelona), keep in mind that it is safe to swim only in the hotel area: real sharks are in charge of the reefs. Prices, it should be noted, also bite, especially in the south of the city - do not hesitate to bargain.

And what about the visa? Visa for 30 days is issued upon arrival and does not cost a penny. If you want to spend up to 90 days on the island, a single or multiple entry visa will be issued to you at the Embassy of Madagascar in Moscow for 77 €. published

Any person sometimes wants vivid emotions, new impressions, but where, no matter how on vacation, to look for them? Only there you can shake off the daily routine and gain strength for new achievements. Changing the environment while traveling, a person rests in body and soul, and new impressions do not allow him to turn sour.

1. Thailand

Over the past few decades, the Kingdom of Thailand has made international tourism one of its main sources of income. Only for Last year 27 million tourists came there from all over the world, of which 15 million were in Bangkok, which is a record for the cities of the world. Thailand has a rich cultural heritage, vibrant national cuisine, luxurious hotels have been built here near the white beaches. Thanks to all this, new travelers are striving there, and many return to Thailand more than once.

2. Brazil

The whole world knows the cheerfulness of the Brazilians, who literally ignite at the mention of the words "samba" or "football". For tourists in Brazil real paradise: Here you can participate in the hunt for the jaguar in the jungle or just lie on the beautiful beach, sipping the local Caipirinha cocktail under the bossa nova. More than 2,000 beaches stretch along the Atlantic coast of Brazil, and along it there are thousands of small islands - here you can find a secluded lagoon and excellent surfing spots. In general, there are so many interesting and unusual things in Brazil that it’s impossible to list everything. You can take a chance and go on a long journey deep into the Amazon, where it is possible to catch a huge piraruku fish. Much less effort will require a visit to Rio de Janeiro - a magnificent South American city with its famous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, where you can listen to plenty of bossa nova and samba, go in for extreme local sports - slide down on a piece of plastic from a high sand dune straight into the ocean.

3. Australia (Great Barrier Reef)

The Australian Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral formation. It is even considered one of the wonders of the world. Here is a real paradise for diving enthusiasts, divers here can see a huge variety of fauna of the Pacific Ocean: amazingly beautiful fish, cetaceans, molluscs and corals themselves. But environmentalists believe that due to global warming, the water temperature is slowly rising, which, together with its pollution, leads to the death of corals. The most pessimistic forecasts give the reef a few more decades of life, and after that it may happen that there will be nothing to look at. So hurry up to Australia!

4. Croatia

By joining the European Union, Croatia, beloved by Russians as a holiday destination, has become more accessible to them, as it constantly introduces the abolition of visa regime. Therefore, compatriots are happy to go there to relax in the mild Mediterranean climate of Croatia. It doesn't get too hot here, just the right amount. The picturesque Adriatic beaches and the surrounding landscapes serve as a perfect addition to the climate. Croatia is a very "domestic" country, which did not build huge all-inclusive hotels, at the entrance to which an invariable doorman in livery is on duty. Instead, there are many apartments rented out by local residents, in which tourists truly feel at home.
Croatia has a lot of greenery and very clean air, in which you can feel the subtle aromas of pine resin and sea salt. Local beaches are framed by lacy crowns of trees. One has only to drive away from big cities to the outback, as it will be possible to enjoy peace and quiet even in the midst of tourist season. But Croatian beaches are not the only entertainment here, because Croatia is rich in historical and natural attractions - it is no coincidence that it is considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.

5. Morocco

Morocco is considered the pearl of North Africa, and yet relatively recently it was closed for tourism, but in Lately makes up for itself, taking a huge number of travelers from all over the world. This country has a variety of natural conditions: the sands of the Sahara here go to the sea, and on the other hand rest against the mountains. Therefore, it makes sense to come here for those who like to soak up the beach near the warm sea, and for those who prefer to spend their holidays more actively.
Among several Moroccan resorts, Agadir is especially famous, which is located in a valley on the Atlantic Ocean. There are beaches of golden sand, camel rides in the dunes and many other entertainments. In the town of Essaouira there is one remarkable fishing port, in which colorful boats of fishermen crowd, and clouds of seagulls fly above them. Islam is widespread in Morocco, so Russians who do not profess this religion are not very comfortable here during the celebration of Ramadan, because at this time even foreigners are not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages here.

6. Bulgaria

The wonderful country of Bulgaria has a gentle sea, sandy beaches and green parks. Local beach resorts and club hotels operate on an all-inclusive basis. This country can be called ideal for a family holiday - here you can find mineral springs and sports facilities. The pride of the country are the endless vineyards and rose plantations. Although Bulgaria is a fairly close neighbor, it has a highly developed tourist service of European quality and offers a decent entertainment program. The beaches in Bulgaria are clean and well-groomed.
While vacationing in Bulgaria, one cannot help but come to Sofia, which is one of the oldest cities on the continent - settlements of prehistoric times have been found here. An important sight of the capital is the Hagia Sophia, which even got on the coat of arms of the city.

7. Greece

Greece can be called the golden mean in every respect. There are many small home-style hotels that maintain the hotel service with daily cleaning and offer “ Buffet» for breakfast, but at the same time make you feel like welcome guests with good friends. Greece has given the world many great historical sights, but it is also rich in a variety of beaches: sandy, pebble or sand and pebble. You can have fun moving from beach to beach and comparing them. On many of the countless Greek islands you can stay in a hotel where instead of a veranda there is a small pool where you can sit at least all day without leaving your home. In addition, you can make easy walks on the sea on different boats, exploring the picturesque bays and looking for new beaches. Worth mentioning about the beauty Greek cuisine which is famous all over Europe. Dinner at the national Greek restaurant will give both adults and children a lot of gastronomic delights.

8. Tunisia

Tunisia can be called quite young tourist country, since it began to attract travelers widely only in the 80s of the last century. But today it boasts 1200 km of beaches, near which there are numerous modern hotels, and many historical monuments. Also, popular thalassotherapy centers have been created on the basis of local thermal springs. There are resorts that are already teeming with crowds of tourists, attracted by low prices and excellent beaches, but there are also those that are just gaining popularity - in these you can relax in a much more relaxed environment.
Tabarka is just such a not crowded resort, located in the north of the country - the "coral coast". Diving enthusiasts should come here. The small resort town of Magdia, located on the Mediterranean coast, is conducive to a relaxing family holiday on snow-white beaches. Holidays in Tunisia can be a solution to problems for those who are afraid to fly by plane, because you can sail here from Genoa or Marseille by ferry, capturing your car, which will allow you to travel around the country.

IN different countries world, the standard of living is strikingly different: if in some it is incredibly high, then in others it is just as low. Many of us don't even...

9. Cambodia

Cambodia has incredibly picturesque landscapes, a lot of antiquities and very cheap food. It may even seem to someone that the fee for services here is indecently small: for one dollar in Cambodia you can eat a hearty and tasty dish, and for five "greens" you can rent a house. Such low prices are kept here because, until recently, tourists did not come here because of the nightmarish recent fate of this country, and only recently the situation has begun to change dramatically in better side. Now, mainly young people are striving to Cambodia, who like a lot here.

10 Italy

With my incredible story Italy could not fail to become a tourism destination associated with educational excursions. Countless routes through classical Italy will always attract tourists who prefer not to fry all day on the beach, but to get to know the country with their ears and eyes, constantly traveling through it. The most curious seek to get off the beaten track and climb into unfamiliar villages. Italian hinterland. Those who need the sun and the sea can head to the resorts of the Adriatic Sea, Amalfi and Naples, or settle in the resorts of Tuscany and Lazio. Russian tourists have long mastered such destinations in Liguria as Portofino, San Remo or Santa Margherita Ligure, where bohemia and the elite prefer to have fun. Of course, do not forget about the Italian islands: Sicily, Sardinia, Ischia can reward you with magnificent views of nature and allow you to enjoy a quiet relaxing holiday.

Video about the beaches of Yeysk:

I recalled such a joke: Summer has finally come to Russia: you can wear a summer coat, a summer hat and summer boots. Sadly, but today this joke has become partly a reality for us.

But after all, summer has always been the time that we all look forward to! The children are finally coming summer holidays, many adults take vacations at this time. And for the most part, everyone dreams of finally going to the sea!

Therefore, today we will talk with you in which countries it is good to relax in the summer, and in which countries it is usually better not to go at this time.

But in any case, when making the final choice, one must take into account the unstable political situation in the world and the vagaries of the weather!

HIGH AND LOW SEASONS

But first, I would like to say a few words about such concepts as " high season' and 'low'. And is the season always good and not the season bad?

In fact, all these concepts are conditional! In general, both of these concepts came to us from the professional environment of tour operators, hotels and air carriers. In the tourism industry as such, it is customary to divide everything into “high” and “low” seasons. But this division says more about the profitability of tour operators at one time or another of the year than about whether this is a bad or good time to travel.

• The high season is a time of increased demand for travel to any region or country. Firstly, this is due to the fact that at this moment there are good climatic conditions and secondly, at such a time, the period of holidays or vacations is likely to begin. Pros is Nice weather, you can swim in the warm sea, enjoy the sights and no rain or hurricane will spoil our vacation. Cons: a lot of people and high prices for tours, hotels, flights during this period.
• The low season, on the contrary, is characterized by reduced demand. Most tourists study and work during this period, and the weather in the region becomes not very favorable. But on the other hand, in the off-season, prices go down, there are fewer people, and we can relax calmly and inexpensively. Going to countries where the rainy season is in full swing, we must understand that we can find it as beautiful weather, where the rains will be short-lived and go mostly at night. So disgusting, with wind, dirty sea and downpours, because of which we will have to spend our entire holiday in a hotel! And going to regions where typhoons and hurricanes are possible at this time, we risk being left without rest at all! Therefore, during such a period, it is better to make insurance against non-departure in advance.

In Jordan, sweltering heat sets in during the summer months. And it is unlikely that you will be able to visit the famous Petra and the Wadi Rum desert. In summer, you will feel like you are on a hot frying pan here. Wandering through the ancient ruins in July-August in the forty-degree heat is not only exhausting, but also dangerous to health.

On the hot coast of the Red Sea, the temperature reaches +38, but still the sea breeze saves a little. But in August, the water warms up to +28 and does not cool at all!

4.India

Indian summer is very humid and hot! Sometimes the temperature can reach +50 degrees! In July-August, central India is flooded with heavy rains, which often wash out roads. The popular tourist city of Jodhpur floods almost every summer. In addition, because of the downpours, rivers can overflow their banks, which means that many cities on the banks of the Ganges - for example, Rishikesh or Varanasi - simply cannot be reached. On beach resorts and the famous Goa has nothing to do either! It's cloudy and windy here! There is constant humidity, heavy rainfall and the sea is constantly stormy. Although at this time you can relax here for very little money! But would you?

5.Israel

A country with a thousand years of history. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Red, Mediterranean and Dead Sea always remain attractive to tourists.

But summer in Israel is the off season. It is suffocating heat and the temperature is approaching +40. At such a time, even the sea does not refresh, and it’s better to forget about excursions in general! This is the time when it is better not to go here even for the sake of a beach holiday.

6. Cambodia

The climate of Cambodia is tropical monsoon, hot and humid. The rainy season starts in May-June and lasts until September. The rainiest and windiest months are July, August and September. However, Cambodian rains are not a long drizzle, but always short showers. And then the sun comes out again.

Holidays in Cambodia in the summer are more tourist than sea. It is better to postpone a trip to Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) until late autumn or winter. But if you are determined to see the temples at this time, you will see that there are much fewer tourists here, but there is enough rain.

7.China

Traditionally, it is believed that the best time to visit China is spring and autumn. Summer in major cities, it can be too dusty and stuffy, and in the south it is humid and excessively hot. Although at this time it is advised to go to the mountains, it’s good there!

Concerning famous island Hainan, which has its own special microclimate, can be quite good in summer. True, the sun can not be seen because of the constant cloudiness and frequent rains. But here it’s how lucky: officially the second half of summer is considered the rainy season. So you can get both on abnormally dry and clear weather, and on quite traditional cloudy. So, at your own risk!

8.Caribbean countries:Cuba,Mexico,Dominican Republic,etc

May to July on the coast caribbean, in Cancun, and the Riviera Maya, it is quite hot and humid. And in the resorts of the Dominican Republic and Cuba, the feeling of humidity during these months is much softer than in Mexico, due to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean.

But August-September is the peak of the hurricane season in the Caribbean. It affects many countries, from Cuba and Mexico to small islands such as Curaçao and Grenada. strong hurricanes can turn into real natural disasters! So during this period, it is better to refrain from traveling to this region!

9.Mauritius

Summer in Mauritius is considered winter period. The air temperature drops to +23…+25°C, and the water temperature drops to 20-22°C. At the same time, strong winds blow on the island, which provokes unrest on the ocean. It often rains. However, this is the season of big discounts! During this time, you can stay in great hotels, while saving 50%.

The most comfortable summer month is August, at which time it hardly rains.

10. Maldives

To see cloudless blue skies like on advertising postcards, it is better to go to the Maldives at the peak of the season, in mid-March or mid-December. But still, the Maldives is positioned as a year-round holiday. Due to the proximity of the equator, seasonal fluctuations are small here. But at the same time, here in the summer there is still a period of southwest monsoons. Visibility under water becomes lower, and the likelihood of rain and strong winds increases. And if you came to these paradise islands just to sunbathe on the beach, pouring rain for several hours can upset you.

11.UAE

It is worth thinking about a vacation in the UAE in the summer a hundred times, because the summer in this country is incredibly hot. And only camels can withstand it! Be prepared for the fact that the sea at this time of the year will warm up to +38°C and be as warm as tea. As for the air temperature, it generally warms up to + 50 ° C. This time of year is spent by locals in numerous shopping malls and water parks.

Also, don't forget the holy month of Ramadan! With his arrival, you will have to be more modest in your habits and emotions.

12. Seychelles

It is always comfortable in the Seychelles. But in the summer on the paradise islands, the weather is not ideal: the sky is covered with clouds, so don't expect to bring a lot of bright photos. The main problem for tourists is strong winds and rough seas. Sometimes swimming can be dangerous, an hour boat trip can turn into a real torment, not to mention traveling between the islands by ferry.

13.Thailand

The rainy season in Thailand is far from being as terrible as it is painted. But if you plan to spend the whole week on the beach under the sun, you will have to disappoint: showers do happen. The degree of humidity depends on the place: in some resorts only cloudy skies and rains in the morning, in others - knee-deep water. The strongest in summer (especially in August) floods the resorts of the Andaman Sea: the islands of Phuket, Phi Phi, Krabi, Lanta. But in Pattaya, Koh Chang and Koh Samui, from June to August it is often sunny and dry. And if there are tropical showers, then mostly in the evening and not very long.

14.Philippines

The rainy season in the Philippines starts in June and ends in November. Heavy rains make the sea very dirty - you will have to forget about diving. In July-August, typhoons come: and there is a big risk of spending the entire vacation in a hotel or getting stuck at the airport due to a flight cancellation. It rains the least in summer on the island of Bohol, but in August it is not easy there either: the sky is filled with lead, and it constantly drizzles.

15. Sri Lanka

Holidays in Sri Lanka, in principle, are year-round, and it’s great to relax, while saving quite serious money just when there is no particular hype. But at the height of the rainy season, monsoon winds make it uncomfortable to stay at the most popular resorts in the southwestern part of the island. The waves, which are already difficult to call small, become even larger. Rains at this time are quite frequent, but not long. At the same time, the air temperature rarely drops below +26 degrees.

But the east coast of Sri Lanka (Beaches near the village of Trincomalee: Nilaveli and Upuveli) is quite suitable for relaxing in the summer. And only in August the waves begin to intensify here.

But it’s better not to climb into the mountains - dirt roads are often washed away by rains, making it difficult to move. And it is most likely impossible to climb Adam's Peak!

A PAIR OF COUNTRIES FINALLY

Of course, there are still many countries and even continents that we have not talked about today! This and South America are just a huge continent and the climate in its different parts is completely different. For example, summer is the best time to go to Amazonian jungle Brazil and visit the Iguazu Falls. But in Argentina and Chile, the ski season is just beginning. Thanks to the longest mountain system on earth - the Andes - these countries have become owners of some of the best slopes in the world for practicing ski views sports.

You can also go skiing in New Zealand. With their ski slopes Australia can also please. But, at the same time, in Tasmania and on southern shores, at this time of the year, there is absolutely nothing to do - it's quite cold here and it's raining, but visit Sydney, the central part of the country and the Great Barrier Reef - please! If you want to swim, then go to Darwin.

Pleasant enough weather is set at this time in Canada. This country is characterized by a moderate summer with a minimum of temperature fluctuations. For tourists, summer Canada offers visits to various natural attractions: Niagara Falls, Rocky Mountains, Johnstone Strait and many other beautiful places.

During the summer months it will be just as beautiful in Austria, Germany, Norway, Great Britain and other European countries. This is a great time to go to the mountains, cruise or sightseeing.

In general, where you go is up to you and only you! So have a great holiday everyone!
