Three inexpensive and beautiful countries in Europe

Europe is very heterogeneous in terms of prices within the different countries included in it. For example, in Finland, close to Russia, food prices are much higher than in the distant Netherlands, and therefore it is impossible to calculate the vacation budget by distance.

The top three budget countries in Europe are:

• Croatia
• Poland
• Romania

Croatia

One of the most reasonable countries in terms of prices, gaining tourist popularity due to its location on the Adriatic coast and being surrounded by chains of islands, rest on which is little different from rest on oceanic atolls: the same bright seascapes, the same snow-white sands, exotic nature. On the beaches of Croatia, yachting is rapidly developing: this is the main entertainment area.

Added to this is a daily varied menu of spicy and spicy sea dishes and local wine, famous for its softness and flavor palette.

It is customary to visit Croatia in the midst of the summer heat, starting in June, and in early autumn, until October. But prices for accommodation, food and entertainment in the next season - October-November - will fall by half. At this time, it is not always possible to swim, but to ride a yacht, spend time in the bosom of exotic nature will turn out quite cheaply.

Countries that are actively developing a tourist destination are always distinguished by inexpensive prices and very attentive service. This is how they earn their reputation.

Thailand

Many tourists fell in love with this extremely friendly inexpensive country. Violet and turquoise lagoons of long beaches, stone stelae, as if thrown from the sky by giants, flowery outfits of local residents - we have seen all this at least once in photographs, and all this is quite accessible to see in reality.

The main shrines of Thailand are the White Temple, as if carved from ivory, and more than thirty thousand Buddhist temples, carved, colored, inlaid.

The islands of Thailand are preserved in the cleanliness and freshness of their original appearance, the underwater world is charming. Local cuisine is divided into two areas: Japanese-Chinese (you will not see such huge rolls anywhere else) and local spicy cuisine, sometimes even too exotic.

Temples of rare beauty, excursions to the habitats of small peoples of Vietnam, hiking and cycling through the mountains overgrown with forests: Vietnam invites not a tourist, but a guest.

He generously shares his rich views, gives rest on the beaches with a length of almost three thousand kilometers, willingly introduces exotic and Asian mystery into his mysterious world.

Vietnam also has the cheapest pearls in the world, the most unusual cuisine and very friendly locals.

From December to April, you can change the dankness of the Russian winter for the intoxicatingly warm breeze of the Vietnamese coasts.

Russia: such a familiar stranger

Holidays for the most active travelers. Karelia provides many camp sites, and camp sites vying with each other cater to tourists, offering fishing, hunting, kayaking, hiking in the forest and mountains.

The nature of Karelia is poorly described in words: it is not only unique, it does not even have a pale resemblance to itself. Northern coniferous forests imprison turbulent mountain rivers in lace frames, multi-colored rocks are reflected in the waters of lakes, sunsets and sunrises color the world in all shades of gold.

A particularly revered place in Karelia is Kizhi Island, a quiet and peaceful place with preserved wooden buildings and wonderful temples with handmade carvings, one of which carries as many as twenty-two chapters.

The island preserves the memory of the original culture of the Karelian peoples and wood carvers.

For a good rest, it is better to choose August - this is the month when the annoying midge disappears, and the beauty of Karelia is fully revealed. Fans of winter hunting and ice fishing can safely go in winter - it is very beautiful and cold in Russian, no annoying slush.

Pleasant entertainment on the water is offered: fishing and boating, kite and windsurfing and just outdoor recreation, which is necessary for modern city dwellers.

On Seliger, they often visit the monastery of the Nilova Hermitage. The monastery was founded in the 16th century on the site where the holy hermit Nil, revered in Orthodoxy, reposed.

Who hasn't heard of Lake Titicaca? A funny name for Russian-speaking tourists is the name of the lake, which climbed to a height of more than three thousand meters above sea level. And this is not all the wonders of Bolivia!

Another lake, the dry Uyuni salt lake, leaves the impression of visiting the lake of another planet - the whiteness of salt formations sparkling in the sun creates bizarre patterns and figures of unknown creatures frozen forever.

On the territory of Bolivia, there are traces of an ancient civilization that once rebuilt the stone settlement of Tiwanaku. This is a system of steps, plateaus, peaks and temples, mysterious statues and ruins of palaces. Tiwanaku was built not by people, but by the gods - this is what the locals think.

The Bolivian Death Road, the most dangerous cycling mountain route in the world, will be a challenge for extreme sportsmen.

Africa: Humanity was born here...

And sooner or later he is drawn to return to his roots. Almost everyone dreams of getting into it, so romantic aura is attached to traveling through it. And there are countries in Africa that allow you to fulfill your dream inexpensively. This:

• Tunisia
• Burkina Faso

South Africa

The former territories of the English colonists gave the world such famous names as Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope. Now Table Mountain has become the center of the national park, and the Cape of Good Hope is part of the museum square with ports and castles.

South Africa is rich in polar types of attractions - these are English-style museums, and the famous Big Hole - a museum-mine, and in contrast - truly African natural reserves of lions, giraffes and other wild animals. In South Africa, two civilizations have tightly merged: one industrial, urban, and the second is still wild.

The paradox does not leave South Africa alone: ​​here, in Africa, you will see a diamond museum, an island inhabited by fur seals, a beach where a colony of penguins managed to settle. An amazing country with low prices awaits you from December to February and from July to September.

Flight: from 34,000 rubles.

Accommodation: from 1000 rubles.

Day stay for two: from 2500 rubles.

Tunisia

The favorable location of Tunisia made it an arena for the redistribution of ancient Roman power. Many buildings remained from the Romans in this beautiful country, including the Colosseum, not much inferior to what is now on the territory of modern Rome.

From their rivals - the remains of the once richest Carthage. Add here the wonderful mosques, Arab fortresses, cathedrals left over from the times of colonization, and feel the intensity of the historical events that took place on this land.

The center of attraction for tourists here is still the Sahara Desert and Lake Chott el-Nerid. Excursions to the great desert of the world and to a huge lake covered with a salt crust, like ice, are a mandatory program for a traveler looking for the wonders of the world. And in Tunisia, you can try fig vodka!

A third of Tunisia is given to the Sahara, and on the other side of the country, the gentle sea washes the cleanest beaches. The visiting season is from June to September. From November to early April, you can also swim, but dust winds often fly in and it rains.

This is a country with a population of more than a thousand tribes with a special culture and way of life. Burkina Faso is a must visit for those looking for the real Africa with ritual magic, wildlife, safaris and predators.

There are national parks here, where Africa lives a full life, not knowing that civilization has long closed around it in a ring. The parks are inhabited by hippos and antelopes, lions and rhinos.

You can see another famous African predator in Kudugu: the sacred Sabu crocodiles live there, quite harmless and friendly with their terrible reputation. You can take pictures with them and they don't mind at all.

An interesting museum-repository, confronting the secrets of African magic, is the Manega Museum, which has collected exhibits-objects of the sacred cults of ancient African tribes. The exhibits are quite gloomy and bewitching. Some are over a thousand years old.

A small Arab state-kingdom, almost completely covered with deserts, but attractive for a beach holiday on the shores of the Gulf of Aqaba, where diving is developed, and beautiful coral reefs are hidden under the water.

The Dead Sea, a source of mineral salts, a medical resort and an amazing creation of the planet, is also located on the territory of Jordan. It is sought after for a cure for many diseases, its mud and salt are used for cosmetic purposes. A visit to the Dead Sea, according to the Jordanians, rejuvenates a person by ten years.

Not so long ago, a city with a history of nine thousand years was included in the list of wonders of the world. This is Petra, a stone city that once had both water and riches obtained from the spice trade.

Petra is completely carved in stone and grandiose in her decline: her beauty is sad and majestic to this day.

Hot tours in the period December-March and hot June-August will be very cheap, because this is a period when sea holidays will not be successful, but these months are great for excursions to the sights of the ancient Arab city. For a sea holiday, choose the winter period: from December to February.

Warm, welcoming and also safe. Turkey has always been inexpensive for tourists with a large selection of places to stay: it provides beaches of two seas, reviews of monuments of Roman and Greek culture and architecture, excursions to cooled volcanoes and cities hidden in caves.
