The most inexpensive visa-free countries for holidays. The most budget holiday abroad, where, how and for how much? Budget holidays abroad July

Summer is a time of revived sales, increased consumer demand and increased economic activity. It is not surprising that only a select few are able to go on vacation during this period. Most of the population of our country gets a well-deserved rest at the end of the beach season, when the weather outside is far from ideal. If it is quite problematic to find a place to relax within Russia in late autumn and especially in winter, then going to the sea without a visa and enjoying the sun is quite possible.

Most people plan their vacation according to the classic model, preferring to spend a well-deserved vacation lying on a sun lounger by the sea. In the summer months, you can fully enjoy the sea coast in Russia. Recognized resorts in our country such as Sochi or Anapa will gladly welcome everyone who wants to soak up the sun and get a magnificent sea tan.

In winter, seaside holidays become possible only outside Russian Federation.

Türkiye is the most inexpensive holiday option

Türkiye enjoys increased interest among tourists from the CIS. Its popularity is due to several factors, including its geographical location, good transport links and a mild tropical climate. In the vastness of the country, two completely opposite cultural directions are successfully combined, developing in parallel with each other: European and Asian. This combination left its mark not only on the architecture of most buildings, but also on the mentality of its citizens. Most of them are adherents of Sunni Islam, which does not prevent them from honoring the religion of other citizens.

The territory of Turkey is washed by 4 seas: the Aegean, Marmara, Black and Mediterranean. However, the most popular holidays are in the southern regions of the state, which overlook the Mediterranean coast. In this part of the country, the infrastructure is most developed and most of the hotel complexes are located.

Last 2 years Turkish direction has lost some of its popularity due to increased political tension between countries. However, this process also had the opposite effect, reducing the cost of vacation. Today, finding an inexpensive but decent hotel in Turkey is not difficult.

You can enter the territory of the state with a minimum package of documents, having only a valid passport. However, no fees or additional duties are charged for crossing the border. You can vacation within the country on a visa-free basis for up to 60 days. If desired, your stay in the country can be extended for another 90 calendar days, although you will have to pay another 149 liras for this.

Colombia - beach vacation and monuments of ancient civilization

Argentina is another country where Russian citizens can go on vacation without a visa. In 2009, visa rules for both countries were abolished by mutual agreement of the parties. However, despite the simplified border crossing regime, Argentina is still an unexplored corner for most tourists from Russia. The territorial distance from the borders of our country plays a decisive role in this.

The natural world and climatic conditions of Argentina are quite diverse, which is explained by its large extent from north to south. In one part of the country there are magnificent ski resorts, and the other is replete with endless beaches. Impregnable mountain ranges and snow-capped peaks form magnificent landscapes that contrast with the azure ocean coast. Evergreen jungles and ancient monuments only enhance the feeling of surrealism and increase overall tourist interest in the state.

Where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad is the most popular question among tourists, and not only in crisis years. Many countries in Europe, Asia and America can offer you cheap holidays at sea: prices for food, hotels and entertainment there remain acceptable even at the current exchange rate of the ruble and dollar. But flying to many places will cost a huge amount. Therefore, today we offer you 5 countries, where you can relax at sea abroad inexpensively even taking into account the price of air tickets.

The Internet is now replete with articles from the category “Where to relax at sea abroad inexpensively.” But many authors, describing the cheapness of holidays in these places, miss the most important point. When choosing the cheapest countries for tourists, the compilers of ratings cite ridiculous prices for food and hotels, but forget about the cost of flights. And as a result, the lists of countries where it is cheaper to relax at sea abroad are topped by either Argentina or Guatemala. No doubt, these are indeed very inexpensive countries for a seaside holiday, but not for Russians. Because before you can spend $10 a night in Guatemala, you first need to get there.

Therefore, in our article about countries where you can have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad even at the current exchange rate of the ruble, we will take into account three main points:

• flight cost,
• food expenses,
• price of hotel accommodation.

This is a mandatory expense for all tourists. Everything else (excursions, entertainment, transportation costs, souvenirs, etc.) is very individual, so we will not take these costs into account. Considering how wide our native country is, we will list prices for air tickets from three cities at once - the capital, Northern capital and the capital of Siberia. So, where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad: the cheapest countries for tourism in Europe and Asia.

Türkiye: all in and nothing off

One of the goals of our site is to dispel misconceptions. One of the misconceptions of Russian tourists is that Türkiye was “closed” and now it has allegedly been “opened”. Dear friends! Nothing of the kind: Turkey has always been open, visa-free and one of the cheapest countries where you can relax at sea abroad inexpensively. It was only prohibited to sell package tours there. Read more in our articles:

No one forbade and is not forbidding you to buy air tickets and fly on your own to vacation in this country of beautiful beaches, majestic mountains and generous all-inclusive. Moreover, from many Russian cities you can fly to Turkish resorts either directly or with a transfer in Moscow or Istanbul. And you can book a hotel with all-inclusive meals through the booking system.

Therefore, we recommend looking for hotels not through Booking, but through hotel search engine Hotellook— it compares prices for the same hotels in different booking systems and gives you the best price options. In addition, Hotellook, unlike Booking, gives you the opportunity to sort hotels operating on the All Inclusive system. When you select a hotel, Hotellook will transfer you to the booking system website (Booking.com, Agoda.com, Ostrovok.ru, etc.), where the booking takes place.

Vietnam: how much does beer cost under communism?

Together with Thailand Vietnam is among the countries where cheap holiday at sea possible at any time of the year. For many, Vietnam is even more comfortable as a holiday destination than Thailand. One of the reasons is local cuisine much more familiar to the European stomach - years of communication with the French and Russians took their toll. Moreover, the communication is so close that the main resorts of Vietnam today are completely Russified: you can’t walk a hundred meters in Nha Trang or Mui Ne without encountering the obligatory “Matryoshka” cafe or at least the “USSR” store. And prices for many products here are even lower than in Thailand. For example, beer or bread costs half a dollar, wine costs 5 dollars. Read more in our articles:

  Dear readers, can you recommend where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad? You can leave reviews, or you can send us entire stories with photos on info@site– we will definitely publish them! And don’t forget - we send only the most necessary and useful things. Happy and budget-friendly trips to you!

During a crisis, many people think about where they can go on vacation so that it won’t be too hard on the wallet. Of course, you can go to Crimea, but not everyone will agree to such a vacation. And the prices for air tickets there, to put it mildly, are not encouraging. Well, how can a flight to our “Russian” Crimea cost more than to Prague? Although, in fairness, it is worth noting that in June there are prices, but for other summer months the prices are already - from 10 thousand rubles one way.

We are thinking about where we can spend a couple of weeks on a budget and in an interesting way this summer. Of course, in Asia everything is just as good, tasty and even at the current dollar exchange rate. Summer is the peak season in and on some islands. But the cost of air travel there can only be justified for a long stay, at least a month. If your vacation only allows you to rest for a week or two, then we advise you to take a closer look at the following cheap flights from Moscow and visa-free countries.

The fact that Türkiye is now closed to Russian tourists is not true. A huge number of regular flights fly to Turkey every day, including our native Aeroflot. And which city to fly to is everyone’s personal choice. You can go to Antalya, on the coast Mediterranean Sea by selecting hotel all inclusive (about our trips to the Turkish coast with a child). By the way, hotels in Turkey are now experiencing better times, so you can often find discounts of up to 50%. And the price of a round-trip air ticket from Moscow to Antalya is just from 13.5 thousand rubles per person. Prices are for June 2016, but for the rest of the summer months their prices are not much different.

Cyprus has unique attractions: the Baths of Aphrodite, Kolossi Castle, antique city Amathus and much more: you won’t be bored.

Aphrodite's Bay

Montenegro

Montenegro is another one wonderful country on the shore Adriatic Sea. Here, as in Cyprus, beach and cultural recreation. Montenegro will be appreciated by lovers of quiet and cozy family vacation. By the way, some tourists compare Montenegro with our Crimea, not only with nature, but also with far from the best living conditions in hotels. We haven’t been to Montenegro yet, but such a comparison doesn’t scare us much. And to see the beauty of Montenegro, for example, old town Budva, that would be interesting.

The cost of air tickets from Moscow to Montenegro in June is - from 15 thousand rubles per person in both directions (to Podgorica and Tivat airports).

Serbia

Beach lovers will be disappointed - there is no sea here. However, visa-free Serbia is famous for its mineral resorts, and has recently become popular among tourists with “healing” tours. And lovers of cultural enlightenment should appreciate the ancient castles and fortresses. Serbia is also famous for its low prices and delicious food.

Flights to Serbia from Moscow and back will cost only from 13.5 thousand rubles per person (flights to Belgrade).

Israel

Israel has a very diverse holiday experience. Every year millions of tourists come here to improve their health at the resorts Dead Sea. And of course, anyone will not miss the opportunity to visit the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem.

In addition to its historical significance, Israel today is a modern and technological country. Here you can admire modern skyscrapers all year round, such as the Azrieli Center in Tel Aviv, and even swim in the Mediterranean Sea in the summer. And many of our compatriots are also attracted by the almost complete absence of a language barrier - after all, in Israel, a quarter of the population speaks Russian!

Perhaps the only significant disadvantage of visiting Israel may be its high cost: this country cannot be called cheap, even without a visa. For example, the average bill for two in a regular local cafe will be from 2000 rubles (without drinks). In Thailand or Vietnam, the same one can cost only 300−400 rubles. And travel on the city tram will cost you 110 rubles per person.

Azrieli Towers in Tel Aviv

But nevertheless, Israel is a country with a rich history and magnificent climatic conditions, so a trip there is definitely worth it. Moreover, the cost of air tickets is quite low. In June, an air ticket from Moscow to Tel Aviv and back will cost only from 13 thousand rubles.

Belarus

Not really yet popular destination for Russians to relax. Perhaps this is due to the absence of the sea. Nevertheless, there is something to see in Belarus: just look at the famous, glorified in the song Belovezhskaya Pushcha or Best Fortress.

Air tickets to Minsk and back from Moscow in June will cost us only from 10.5 thousand rubles per person.

Georgia

A country of breathtaking nature and mind-blowingly delicious food. To get to know Georgia, one trip is not enough. Many tourists, having arrived once, fall in love with it so much that they decide to stay. Georgia combines multiple healing mineral and mud springs, healing mountain-sea air and beautiful architectural and natural attractions. What is a world-famous man worth? mineral resort Borjomi!

Take a walk through the city of Tbilisi, see ancient monasteries and fortresses in the mountains, taste fresh khachapuri and relax on cleanest beaches Pitsunda and Batumi - no doubt, it will be a unique vacation!

Old Tbilisi, Georgia

Many Russian tourists come to Georgia by their own car. This trip takes approximately 2 days. If you are going to fly from Moscow to Tbilisi (and back) by plane, then such a trip will work for you from 12 thousand rubles per person.

You can also use a little trick: buy air tickets from Moscow to Vladikavkaz (their cost will be approximately 7 thousand rubles in both directions per person), and then get to Tbilisi by regular bus(travel time is about 5 hours).

Thailand became the most popular country among Russian tourists who prefer holidays abroad in January-May 2016, reported the Association of Tourist Operators of Russia (ATOR). The data was prepared based on information from foreign ministries of tourism.
