When choosing where to go on holiday with your child in Russia in the summer, take into account the interests and age of the child. Kids are mainly only interested in beaches, water parks, attractions, and zoos. Older children can be offered more active program: Hiking or new sports.

Holidays with children by the sea. Children will be comfortable both on the Azov Sea and on the Black and Baltic Seas - so only you can choose where to go on vacation this summer.

For a quiet and relaxing beach holiday, we recommend going to family resorts Sea of ​​Azov. Kuchugury and the village of Golubitskaya are suitable - the sea there is shallow and warms up already in May, the waves are small, the bottom is flat and sandy. Plus beaches with beautiful golden sand and an abundance of beautiful shells that children love to collect. Not far from the villages there is a mineral lake and healing mud lakes, you can go to Taman and Veselovka, and Crimea is nearby.

At the Black Sea resorts, horseback riding and a variety of water activities are popular - catamaran rides and bungee jumping.

This year's question inexpensive holiday is more acute than ever - the depreciated ruble exchange rate was caught up with the economic recession and the closure of traditionally cheap Egypt and Turkey. And now, when prices for everything have doubled on average, the desire of Russians to save money on vacation is quite understandable. Many, according to surveys by sociologists, decided not to rest at all, spending their legal vacation in the garden. For those who cannot imagine their summer without the sea, even in the most difficult economic situation, we are publishing a selection of destinations that claim to be popular this summer.

For price analysis, we used the service to take a tour for two in the very middle of summer - from July 10 to July 20 or dates close to these dates. We look for air tickets on the website “s”, the cost is indicated per person, in case of a serious difference between the capital and resort town We indicate both price options. In this case, of course, it is recommended to fly to the city with a cheaper flight (as a rule, such options are available in capitals or large economic centers with high traffic), arrange an excursion program and then move towards the sea by local transport.

Crimea

Of course, closing Turkey and Egypt is beneficial Russian resorts, and Crimea has not disappeared from the news agenda for the last couple of years. The desire of Russians to look at the territory annexed to Russia, the absence of a language barrier, flights from many Russian cities, competition in the field of air travel and reasonable tariffs, the availability of train and bus services - these are the factors that explain the predicted popularity of Crimea this season.

The cheapness is explained not only by the possibility of ground transportation and not very expensive air transport - Russians are attracted by the opportunity to rent a house or apartment from private owners, the cost in this case will actually be significantly lower than when staying in a hotel. But the service is, accordingly, plus the “pig in a poke” factor. However, according to the assurances of Crimean hoteliers, they promise to keep prices at an affordable level.

There is some skepticism: many note that hotels of the same level as in Turkey will cost much more in Crimea than they cost on the coast Mediterranean Sea, and flights cannot be compared in cost to the price of charters in a tour package to Turkey. Now, due to the new dollar exchange rate and the inability to find out potential prices for a full package of tourist services in Turkey, it is difficult to say anything definite in this regard, so it remains to compare Crimea with Krasnodar region and European resorts.

Sochi and Abkhazia

This, one might say, is a classic holiday in the south of Russia. Only this year it is even more in demand due to the closure of Turkey and Egypt. Plus all the same advantages listed above about Crimea, only getting there is even more convenient and cheaper. For example, if you travel by land, you don’t need to transfer from the train to the ferry, and then to the bus. Flights from different cities of Russia are operated different airlines, which gives a large selection of both dates and prices.

Sochi, Adler, Gelendzhik and other resorts in the Krasnodar Territory, in addition to the sea and beaches, also have a decent range of attractions that will appeal to history buffs. You can also go to neighboring Abkhazia, where there is a lot of interesting things, and good beaches the country is not deprived. We did not describe Abkhazia separately precisely because you can only get there through the Sochi-Adler transport hub. Next - by train to Sukhum or by bus to other places in the country.

Georgia

Speaking about the Black Sea, one cannot help but recall Georgia. Beautiful, inexpensive and close country, with an amazing history, and also very convenient in terms of logistics. You can either fly by plane from Moscow or take a “Komet” from Sochi by sea. You can also get there from Vladikavkaz by your own car. Prices within the country, as already mentioned, are quite reasonable, no visa is needed, and Georgian cuisine is a full-fledged attraction and cultural heritage Georgia!

Bulgaria

The obvious advantages of a holiday in Bulgaria include the following: close and inexpensive flights, simpler (compared to Schengen) visa rules, domestic prices are lower, and the hotel base is cheaper than Western European countries. Here you can add a loyal attitude towards Russians, good climate and a huge number of ancient attractions - in terms of the number of different monuments from Roman times, Bulgaria is in third place in Europe. Well, the beaches in Bulgaria are perhaps the best on the Black Sea.

Greece

This country, even with “allowed” Turkey, encroached on a piece of the tourism pie, and not without success - increasing the volume Russian tourists year to year. This was facilitated by the fastest issuance of visas in the Schengen area (in the summer it usually took 3 days) and low prices within the country compared to the rest of Europe. Well, there is no point in talking about the wealth of Greece - as the classic wrote, “there is everything” there. Against the backdrop of the absence of Turkey on the agenda, Greece’s position should strengthen even more, unless, of course, Crimea and Sochi pull the blanket over themselves. To the undoubted advantages of the country we add a large selection of islands and resorts, close flights and amazing local cuisine.

Cyprus

This island, especially its southern part, is in many ways similar to Greece, but with one important difference - you do not need a visa. More precisely, it is electronic and is completed entirely via the Internet. An island with a centuries-old history and stunning white sand lagoons can be quite inexpensive if you take a tour package with a charter flight, or if you use our tips for planning your own trip. Northern Cyprus is also interesting, but this is Turkish territory and logistics will be more difficult, although you can always get there through the southern part. Tourists usually rent a car and go explore the north on their own, or use the services of guides.

Tunisia

The only one on this moment Egypt’s “substitute” offers everything the same as its “big brother”: warm sea, resort-type hotels with everything you need, plenty water activities, Arabic flavor, hot sun and excursion program. True, it is poorer than the Egyptian one, but Carthage, the Sahara and the troglodyte caves will not leave you indifferent. The Mediterranean Sea here, although warm, is slightly cooler than the Red Sea, but the underwater world does not shine with such diversity as in the Land of the Pyramids. In any case, Tunisia has its trump cards at a fairly attractive price.

Italy

Among the beach Western Europe Italy has long been No. 1 in terms of the number of tourists from Russia. Despite the huge selection of beaches (Italy is washed by seas on all sides except the Alps), tourists for the most part go to Rimini. But, in addition to the rest of the coastal territory, there are also the magnificent islands of Sicily and Sardinia. But interest in Rimini is often dictated by a simple calculation: there are a huge number of hotels, including budget ones, and tour operators place charters in this city with wide beaches. In addition, one of the largest amusement parks for children and the duty-free shopping state of San Marino for mothers are nearby.

If we take other parts of Italy, the price tag will no longer be so humane, but the country can boast of quite moderate prices for food and transport compared to other Western European countries. More expensive than in Greece, but clearly cheaper than in the Benelux countries and Scandinavia. In addition, in terms of attractions per square meter, Italy confidently leaves behind all other countries in the world, and you can even pay extra for this.

Spain

Spain can hardly be called a close destination - it takes longer to fly from Russia than to any other European country, except Portugal. But the country has a large number of beaches and hotels, and the demand for tours to Spain has been consistently high for many years; many have even acquired real estate in this sunny and cheerful country, where some kind of holiday takes place every day.

The euro exchange rate, as in the case of Italy, is a fly in the ointment, but the price level in the country is quite humane, approximately the same as in Italy, or even lower. As a plus, let’s add the warmest sea among the European Mediterranean, the atmosphere of a constant holiday and many festivals, beautiful architecture. Reasonable prices for tour packages apply only to tours around Barcelona, ​​where flights arrive from Russian cities, but this is where a huge number of attractions are concentrated - Catalonia is very rich in them. The rest of Spain is no less interesting, but already goes beyond the scope of a budget tour, although you can design a trip very inexpensively, we even released
