The best summer destinations 2020: where to go on vacation this year?

In the modern world there are all the opportunities for a bright, beautiful and unforgettable vacation anywhere in the world. And tourists take advantage of this, opening new horizons for themselves and others. But often such vacation spots cost a pretty penny and for this reason they do not become popular. And those resorts and countries where it is cheapest to go on vacation are becoming popular. Abroad in the summer of 2020 you can go to a hundred different countries. But only a dozen of them are truly inexpensive and affordable for all Russian citizens. We have compiled a rating of the best and cheapest countries for a beach holiday in the summer and offer it to you.

Cyprus is becoming a favorite place for Russians.
After the famous events in Turkey and Egypt, Cyprus and its resorts are becoming a favorite summer holiday destination for Russians. And there are quite logical explanations for this.

Firstly, the island of Cyprus is located very close to Turkey. This means the weather here is the same and exactly the same climate to which vacationers are accustomed.
Secondly, prices in Cyprus are much lower than in other European resorts. And the flight takes a few minutes longer than flying to Turkish resorts.

And thirdly, Cyprus has beautiful beaches, wonderful hotels and a lot of entertainment. Russian tourists love all this very much. And they rush to the local coast.
The water off the coast of the island is always clean, turquoise and blue. It plays in the sun, shimmers and glows beautifully and unusually. On most beaches, the entrance to the water is gentle, and you can walk about twenty meters before it becomes deep.

Holidaying in Cyprus is a pleasure. It’s calm here, if you choose the right resort, everything is beautiful and clean. There are cafes and bars, shops and souvenir shops everywhere. This vacation will never be forgotten!

Georgia is gaining popularity.
Every year Georgia becomes more and more popular among Russians. Tensed political relations are cooling down a bit, and it is becoming easier for ordinary citizens to enter the country on vacation.

Going to Georgia on vacation to the sea is very dangerous. No, you are in no danger here. Just getting here, you won’t be able to relax by the sea all the time. Every now and then you will be drawn to nature in the mountains! And once you visit the cave cities of Uplistsikhe and Vardzia, you will fall in love with them forever.

Local cuisine and local wine are completely different from what you bought and tried in your city. Here, cooking food and making homemade wine is an ancient tradition, and every resident of the village will ask you to rate his food and wine. If you are watching your figure, then after your holiday in the country you will have to go on a tight diet. Everything here is so delicious that you won’t be able to deny yourself the pleasure of trying everything.

Georgian cities are as beautiful as the nature of the country. The streets are full of residents, but no one is in a hurry. Life goes on calmly and measuredly. People are smiling and kind. Once you get to the local market, you will definitely buy a lot of useful and not so useful things. You will be lured with discounts, sweets and “delicious” speeches. Prepare your wallet, it’s inconvenient to refuse.

Greece - holidays on the islands.
Beach holidays are well developed in Greece. Just not on the continent, but on the islands. The most popular islands are Rhodes, Kos and Crete. They receive a third of all tourists in the country.

Choosing one island from dozens of identical ones is not easy. But don’t worry, because tourist ships sail between the islands every day, taking tourists on excursions. And while relaxing in Rhodes, you can visit many other islands.

What will surprise you in Greece? Do you remember a story from your school years? It was here that the Gods lived, it was here that the Olympic Games were born, it was here that famous people and mythical creatures were born and lived. Sights, beautiful places, beautiful churches - you can see it all with your own eyes.

Bulgaria – cheap holiday, beautiful coast.
The Bulgarian coast is the opposite shore of the Black Sea. Vacationing here is the same as vacationing in Sochi or another city in Russia. There is almost no language barrier, a lot of fruit, a lot of sun, and all this for almost nothing.
Even during the peak beach season, Bulgarian resorts remain the cheapest among all European resorts. Tourists from Germany, France and other economically developed European countries are in no hurry to come here. So there is no point in raising prices for Russian tourists and tourists from the former USSR. Better a bird in the hand than... empty hotels in the summer.

Bulgaria is a fairly sunny country. Even its famous resorts have self-explanatory names - Sunny Beach. But it should still be taken into account that the weather here is exactly the same as on our shore. Therefore, it is better to come to Bulgaria on vacation in July and August.

Croatia is a resort on the Adriatic Sea.
It's no secret that the Adriatic Sea is cold. Even in the middle of summer, its waters can only be +21 degrees Celsius. But when visiting Croatia, you think about the sea at the last moment.
There are many other places and things in the country that are worth paying attention to. First of all, it's nature. Here she is truly alive and untouched by people. Reserves, parks, natural areas are the largest part of the country and the most protected. Local authorities monitor everything that happens in nature. They are tightening laws that are intended to protect parks and their residents. Waterfalls, lakes, mountains - all this attracts tourists.

But there are also beaches here. Moreover, some resorts are not inferior in beauty, and perhaps even superior to Italian ones, which are located on the other side of the sea. Many local resorts offer not just beach holidays, but also treatment in modern SPA centers and mineral springs.

Morocco - resorts on the ocean and sea.
When going on vacation to Morocco, you always face a choice - where to relax? You can choose a resort on the Mediterranean Sea, or on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Which would you prefer?

No matter which coast of the country you choose, you will never be bored anywhere. Oriental bazaars are known to everyone from children's books and cartoon films. Beautiful palaces and castles seem even more beautiful and incredible up close. And you won’t want to leave the white sand beaches even at night.
Excursions are an integral part of a holiday in Morocco. You won’t believe it, but excursions to the desert are the most popular here. People are interested in looking at these endless sands and visiting the places where famous travelers passed.

Cheap tickets abroad: where to fly in July 2020?

For those who prefer to travel independently, we have compiled a list of cities where you can fly cheaply in mid-summer.

How to find an inexpensive hotel? You can book inexpensive accommodation yourself on the popular Rumguru service.

Below we provide examples of tickets with the minimum price for this route. Most often these are flights with transfers. Air tickets for direct flights are slightly more expensive. We are considering flights from Moscow, the cost is indicated for a round trip flight per person.

This year, the issue of inexpensive holidays is more pressing than ever - the depreciating 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 the 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, the closure of Turkey and Egypt is beneficial for 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 did on the Mediterranean coast, and flights will not be comparable 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 we can only compare Crimea with the Krasnodar Territory and European resorts.

• Flight Moscow - Simferopol for July 10 - 20, 2019: .
• Tour to Crimea

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 by different airlines, which gives a wide choice 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 the country is not deprived of good beaches. 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. Read more in this tip.

• Flight cost Moscow - Sochi for July 10 - 20, 2019: .
• Tour to Sochi from July 10 to July 20, 2019 on the Travelata website: from RUB 30,000. for two.
• Tour to Abkhazia from July 10 to July 20, 2019 on the Travelata website: from 29,000 for two.

Georgia

Speaking about the Black Sea, one cannot help but recall Georgia. A 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 of Georgia!

• Flight cost Moscow - Tbilisi for July 10 - 20, 2019: .
• Flight cost Moscow - Batumi for July 10 - 20, 2019: .
• Tour to Georgia from July 10 to July 20, 2019 on the Travelata website: from RUB 38,000. for two.

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, a 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.

• Flight cost Moscow - Varna for July 10 - 20, 2019: .
• Tour to Bulgaria

Greece

This country, even with “allowed” Turkey, encroached on a piece of the tourism pie, and not without success - increasing the volume of Russian tourists year after 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.

• Flight cost Moscow - Thessaloniki for July 10 - 20, 2019: .
• Tour to Greece from July 10 to July 20, 2019 on the Travelata website: RUB 38,000. for two.

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.

• Flight cost Moscow - Larnaca for July 10 - 20, 2019: .
• Tour to Cyprus from July 10 to July 20, 2019 on the Travelata website: from RUB 43,000. for two.

Tunisia

The only “substitute” for Egypt at the moment offers everything the same as its “big brother”: a warm sea, resort-type hotels with everything you need, a lot of water activities, Arabian flavor, hot sun and an 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.

Italy

Among the beach destinations of 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.

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 constant celebration and many festivals, and 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
