There are many beaches on the planet, very beautiful, very unusual, sandy, rocky, grassy, \u200b\u200bwooden, even glass (we have not heard anything about tin ones yet). This review is intended to help you find the best beach for you. We will talk about several popular country for beach holiday, we determine the direction of travel and the beach.
TURKEY
The beach season starts in May and ends at the end of October. Clean sea, beautiful nature, benevolent hosts, the best entertainment programs in Europe for children and adults, children's animation clubs and water slides on the territory of hotels, "All Inclusive" meals, very reasonable prices, close flight, visa right at the airport of arrival, make Turkey the most attractive family vacation destination. Without a doubt, Turkey has the most developed beach infrastructure in the Mediterranean. Nowhere else in Europe has such a number of luxury hotels. Moreover, the owners of both 3 * and 5 * hotels are trying to improve them, almost every hotel is being renovated for the new season and is preparing something new.
North coast - Bodrum, Marmaris and Fethiye... The glory of Turkish recreation began here. For Europeans, the British opened their holiday on the coast of Turkey. In contrast to the southern part, the hotels here are more open, as in the resorts of Europe (except for the aristocratic clubs in Fethiye). Not all hotels have their own beaches, some have no animation and the territories are small, the hotel fund is not as new as in the south. But on the other hand, many restaurants, discos, clubs work day and night outside the hotel and this attracts young people from all over Europe. The long-standing traditions of hospitality have brought the standard of service quality closer to the European, even in the most inexpensive hotels and restaurants. From Mamaris you can take a cruise to the Greek island of Rhodes and stay at a hotel for a couple of days (you need to take care of this in Moscow). The northern part of the coast of Turkey is more dynamic, the southern one is quieter and more family friendly.
South coast - Insekum - Alanya, Side, Belek, Antalya and Kemer.
The beach season is slightly longer here than in the north. There is a difference between all the resorts of the Anatolian Riviera. Insekum - Alanya is the youngest resort of the entire coast, where the most intensive commissioning of new hotels is underway. The hotels are located 100 - 140 km from the airport. The beaches are different, there are rocky, pebbly and sandy (most often mixed). And finally, here are the most attractive prices. Side - beaches are usually sandy, prices are average. Belek is an elite place on the Riviera - almost all hotels are 5 *, there are only a few 4 * hotels. The beaches are sandy, excellent, lots of greenery. The prices are appropriate. Antalya is the closest resort to the airport, there are not the most convenient beaches and attractive prices. Kemer is the most picturesque part of the Riviera. Here the mountains come close to the coast, long-coniferous pine grows on the slopes - the landscapes are mesmerizing, and the air is just a miracle! The beaches are stone (as well as everywhere where the mountains come to the sea) - pebbles or large stones. Some upscale hotels have sandy beaches and pebble entrances. There are hotels for every budget and taste. In the resort town of Kemer itself there is a clubbing nightlife. Turkey is the undisputed leader in family beach vacation services.
EGYPT
The most accessible Africa. The weather allows you to relax at sea all year round. In December - February - only in the evenings the air can be cool, and the water in the sea never drops below 19-20 degrees. There is practically no rain, it is always sunny. It is sometimes windy. In summer, the temperature is high, up to 40 degrees, but the humidity is very low, the heat is easily tolerated. Moreover, there is air conditioning in the room and a breeze outside. The most beautiful Red Sea, the most transparent sea on the planet (not a single river flows into it), well preserved (hunting for inhabitants of coral reefs is prohibited, the collection and export of corals and shells), warm and very salty, attracts everyone here, both divers and just amateurs (children and adults) to swim with a mask, among bright fish. Plus an interesting excursion program - Cairo and Luxor. Architectural monuments are of great interest, because these are the oldest surviving buildings on the planet. The hotels are modern, food in many of them is "All Inclusive", prices are reasonable, a short flight (4 hours), a visa without hassle, right at the airport - all this has made Egypt very popular. Compared to Turkey, there is not so much greenery (it is difficult to look after it - around the desert and fresh water is expensive), some hotels lack service and there are no entertainment programs like on the Turkish Riviera. Although there are hotels in Egypt that have coped with these problems. All coastal hotels have equipped private, free beaches. African coast - Hurghada... From this place began the resort construction of Egypt on the Red Sea. Recently - 30 years ago, this place was occupied by an American military base. Now, a large number of hotels stretch along the line where the desert and the sea converge. In comparison with other resorts in Egypt, hotels lose, but their cost is more attractive. Advantages of Hurghada: good sandy beaches and coral-free entry into the water (which is important for young children), the relative proximity of Luxor and Cairo, a large water park. Safaga, El Gouna(Venice of the Red Sea) and Makadi Bay - modern resorts near Hurghada airport - here you have all the advantages of location, and hotels are more modern (prices are higher here). Sinai Peninsula - Sharm El Sheikh - the sea is even richer and coral reefs right next to the coast (most hotels have an entrance to the water through a pontoon), you can look at the underwater inhabitants right from the beach, hotels are more modern and of high quality. Unlike Hurghada, there is a resort area with a promenade, restaurants and discos. To go to Cairo further (than from Hurghada), but you can fly by plane. Dahab a resort that attracts windsurfers and divers with good wind, board rental, budget hotels and pristine coral gardens. Taba developing resort on the border with Jordan. There are not many hotels here yet, not enough to send direct flights here. Those who decide to go to Taba can fly to Sharm el Sheikh and then take a bus (about 4 hours). And it's worth it - the sea and the hotels are excellent (prices don't bite). Egypt is the best choice for those who are in love with the warm, living sea.
SPAIN
The beach season starts in June and ends in October. In the northern part (near Barcelona), cloudy days are possible in September. Spain attracts tourists with the opportunity to combine seaside holidays with interesting excursions and high quality European service. A well-developed recreation infrastructure offers in the tourist area: water parks, amusement parks and theme parks, many restaurants, bars and discos. History has left many architectural monuments, excursions to museums and galleries are organized, special entertainment and shows are created for tourists, and of course flamenco dances and bullfighting. At the same time, it is curious to look at the high European standards of living, perhaps to get to know Europeans better. Plus, a relatively short flight of 4-5 hours, a high level of service and friendliness of the Spaniards, relatively low prices make this country very attractive. However, Spain has some peculiarities, unlike other beach destinations: a mandatory visa (week), all beaches in Spain are municipal, there are no hotels with their own beaches (sun loungers, umbrellas are paid on the spot 2-3 EUR per sunbed and the same for an umbrella for the whole day). Most hotels offer breakfast and dinner or full board meals. Not all hotels offer animation programs. Many kids' mini clubs are open only during the summer season. Outdoor pools are usually open from 8:00 to 9:00 am to 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Northern Spain - Costa Brava and Costa Dorada - popular family resorts - there is a grandiose theme park Port Aventura, many excursions for every taste. Resorts on the Costa Brava are more youthful - a large number of discos and nightclubs gathers teenagers from all over Europe. The Costa Dorada is quieter, although there is plenty of nightlife here too. The northern part is more democratic, unlike the southern one, there are no 5 * hotels at all, the highest category is 4 * Southern Spain - Costa del Sol - more bourgeois, the general level of the hotel industry is higher than in the north. There are extremely fashionable 5 * hotels. The excursions are certainly different, but no less interesting than in the north. The flight is a little farther, prices are slightly higher on average. Costa Blanca - excellent beaches and the newly built Terra Mitika theme park. Spain is the best mix of family beach holidays and excursions.
CANARY ISLANDS
They belong to Spain and of course, all the advantages of a beach holiday in Spain also apply to the Canary Islands. Add to this - the season is all year round, varied vegetation, very picturesque views, cruises to small islands and deserted beaches, entertainment shows for children and adults, all this is the Canary Islands. An excellent hotel base, from economical apartments to luxury hotels. Many hotels have animation teams throughout the day, sporting events, aerobics classes, various competitions and games for adults and children. All municipal beaches, umbrellas and sun loungers - for a fee (about 4 EUR). The sand is coarse, gray, of volcanic origin. The cost of the island service is always slightly higher than that of the mainland, it is affected by the isolation from the land, and of course, the cost increases due to the cost of a long flight - a direct charter flight of 7 hours. The plane flies only in Tenerife, if you want to get to another island - Lanzarote or Fuerteventura, you need to take care of plane tickets from Tenerife to the desired island. Canary Islands - summer all year round.
GREECE
Greece has everything, we know this from childhood. In the context of our story, there are many places for a beach holiday in Greece. Now direct flights connect Moscow with Thessaloniki (northern part), Athens (southern part), Heraklion (Crete), with the islands of Rhodes and Corfu. And there are 3,000 more islands in Greece. Greece has a very picturesque nature, Greece is the closest Mediterranean country to us (like Turkey) - a close flight (2.5-3 hours), Greece beckons us with its myths and Orthodox kinship. Greece has a wonderful climate, the beach season starts in June and ends in October, very nice and cheerful hosts, interesting excursions and decent service. In comparison with Turkey and Egypt, Greece has some peculiarities - the cost is slightly higher, hotels in some areas cannot offer modern service, a visa is required to enter (a week is issued). Mainland Greece southern part - Attica... The coast of Attica is interesting precisely from an excursion point of view, from here it is convenient to visit the entire "museum fund" of Greece, unfortunately, most of the hotels are outdated, do not keep pace with the leisure industry. This has to do with the number of rooms and the service that hotels offer. There is no animation, food is usually breakfast and dinner (this does not apply to several hotels on Peloponnesian peninsula). The beaches in Greece are municipal. Near Athens, the beaches are mostly sandy, of two types. There are free "wild" beaches - unequipped and often dirty (this does not apply to the sea - it is always clean). And there are paid beaches (entrance from 1.5 to 5 EUR), equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas, cafes and shops. A sunbed and an umbrella are paid additionally - 4 EUR per set. The compensation is, we repeat, a rich excursion program, evening trips to taverns with live (really live) Greek music and interesting meetings. The northern part of Greece is developing more dynamically, there are many modern hotels, by the way, prices are slightly lower than in the southern part. The beaches are sand and sand with small pebbles. In terms of family holidays, the most interesting place is Crete... There are many hotels focused on children's recreation, there are hotels with water parks, children's clubs. In many hotels baby food is All Inclusive. Nice sandy beaches and modern European service. Rhodes a trendy, youthful place. The island's hotels are mostly of Deluxe or A categories (ie in the 4-5 "stars" region). There are hotels of 3 * and 2 * categories, but they are few. There are few Russian tourists here, but a lot of Germans and Englishmen, the animation in the hotels is only in English and Deutsch. The beaches are gorgeous. Corfu our favorite place since childhood, according to the books of Gerald Durrell - the most transparent sea, a lot of greenery and picturesque landscapes. The place is beautiful and romantic. There are many sandy and pebble beaches on the island, stretching along the two hundred kilometer coastline. Most of the hotels on the island are deluxe categories. Traveling to Greece is a journey into a myth.
CYPRUS
It is located south of the Greek islands - the beach season here lasts from June to the end of October. Cyprus has hotels for every taste and budget, a high level of service, excellent sandy beaches and a warm clean sea, a visa is issued in Moscow in 1 day and requires a minimum of documents. A close flight (3 hours), a large number of tourist attractions and the hospitality of the Cypriots have created a well-deserved fame for beach holidays in Cyprus. For the sake of fairness, I must say: if the cost of a trip to Cyprus is low, then the hotel is modest, the cost of upscale hotels in Cyprus is corresponding. The hotels are excellent, Cypriot animations: theme nights, children's animations and live music in evening time in hotels 3-5 *. The service level is very high. Perfectly clean rooms, high quality and plentiful food. Larnaca and Limassol busier tourist areas, with excellent sandy beaches, by the way, cruise ships depart from the port of Limassol on short routes to Israel and Egypt. Aia-Napa famous for its wide white beaches, beaches Paphosstony, but very picturesque and romantic. Beaches Protaras, along with the beaches of Ayia Napa, the best on the island, the resort is suitable for a relaxing family vacation with children, there are the latest resort hotels. Cyprus is the only destination in the Mediterranean that combines two qualities - a simplified visa regime and European service in hotels.
CROATIA
The beach season starts in June and ends in September. The eastern part of the Adriatic Sea, along which Croatia stretches, is without doubt the most beautiful part of the Mediterranean. The purest water, a mixture of monuments from different eras - antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the opportunity to visit Venice and Trieste in Italy from the northernmost part of Croatia (Istrian peninsula), attract more and more travelers to Croatia every year. The beaches on the Istrian peninsula, with rare exceptions - concrete platforms, natural stones and small pebble lagoons. In Central Dalmatia, first of all, south of Split (the cities of Brela, Baska Voda, Tucepi, etc.) and on the island of Brac, they are made of small pebbles and are considered the best on the entire coast. Pine trees grow here literally 3-4 meters from the surf line, and therefore no umbrellas are needed. These places are especially attractive for families with children. In South Dalmatia there are pebbly, rocky and concrete beaches, and on the islands in the Dubrovnik region there are also sandy beaches. All beaches are municipal, admission is free. The rent of sun beds and umbrellas is 2 Euro (umbrella) and 3 Euro (sunbed) per day. Some hotels provide beach equipment for free. The water on all beaches is crystal clear. Hotels are booming along the entire coast, but still, during the peak season (July-August) there is a shortage of places (this raises prices). 3 * hotels prevail, hotels of higher categories are represented to a lesser extent, but their number is growing every year. Externally, the hotels still give the impression of boarding houses of the past, but inside, most have already been completely reconstructed. Service - "at the level", fast service in restaurants, hotels. In 2013, a visa regime was introduced. The flight is close, about 3 hours (flights from Moscow fly to several airports in Croatia), delicious and inexpensive cuisine. Croatia leaves no one indifferent.
PORTUGAL
The beach season is from July to August (water temperature 19-20 degrees, air about 25 degrees). Charter flights from Moscow arrive in Algarve, and regular to Lisbon, flight is about 5 hours. A visa to travel to Portugal is required, the processing time is a week. The beaches on mainland Portugal are wide, with white, fine sand, and clear water. All beaches are municipal. For a sunbed and an umbrella payment - 8-10 EUR per day. The hotels are excellent, 4-5 * high level prevails. 99% of them offer breakfast, half board is very rare, "All Inclusive" does not exist. The quality of service in hotels is at the highest level, in resort areas there are many tourist attractions - shows, water parks, restaurants and nightclubs + interesting excursions in Lisbon and the surrounding area.
TUNISIA
The beach season is from June to November, in the summer months the air temperature rises to 40 degrees, but due to the insignificant humidity it is easily tolerated. Tunisia is very colorful - the remains of ancient cities, the Sahara, amphitheaters, aqueducts, ancient temples, sculptures, mosaic paintings, fortresses and forts, medieval Arab bazaars and mosques. Good beaches, the general level of hotels is decent, there are also very prestigious ones, the general level of service is good, but slow. Wellness courses of thalassotherapy attract many Europeans for their quality and economy. All-Inclusive meals are rare. The country is more Europeanized than, for example, Egypt; the influence of France is felt, under whose protectorate Tunisia was for a long time. All beaches are municipal. For some hotels, separate sections of the beach are assigned, which are carefully guarded, and you will hardly find the local population here. In most cases, the hotel provides vacationers with sun loungers and umbrellas (in "three-star" hotels - for an additional fee, and in 4-5 "stars", as a rule, free of charge). Charter flights fly to Monastir and the capital Tunisia, the flight lasts 4 hours. Entry is visa-free.
UAE
The beach season is all year round, in the winter months, the water temperature drops to 20 degrees (cool at night), in July and August the air temperature rises to 40 degrees. The Emirates attract tourists with the highest level of hotels and service in them, as well as a duty-free shopping area. In addition, it is the closest beach destination (on a par with Egypt), allowing you to swim all year round. The state has adopted a program for the development of the tourism industry as a priority. In addition to amazing hotels, they are building here: the largest amusement park in the world, an indoor ski resort in the desert, artificial islands in the sea with hotels and villas, a spaceport for organizing excursions into space. The most luxurious hotels are located on Jumeirah Beach, in the Emirate of Dubai. All hotels located directly on the coastline have their own equipped private beaches. And the most economical hotels are in the city of Dubai itself, you have to go to the beach by bus (15-30 minutes). On the coast of Dubai, there are two famous beach complexes that are used by vacationers in most city hotels: Al Mamzar Park and Jumeirah Beach Park. An entrance ticket to the beach costs $ 1.5 per person, use of a sunbed costs $ 2.5. Beach complexes have complete infrastructure: a small park area, restaurants and bars. The Al Mamzar Park complex also has a swimming pool (entrance to it costs an additional $ 2.5), Flight 5 hours, a visa is required (registration is a week, there is the possibility of urgent registration).
Emirates resorts are looking to the future.
MOROCCO
The beach season is from March to November. The water temperature in the ocean off the coast of Agadir in March is about 20 degrees, in August - 23 degrees. The most interesting beach resort in Morocco of course Agadir... Charter flights from Moscow fly here, the flight is 6 hours. An entry visa is not required, and there is no duty. Agadir has wide beaches with fine sand, less often private, more often municipal ones. Accordingly, in all coastal hotels that have their own beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are free. In all other hotels - for an additional fee (about 1.5-2 USD). The resort presents a large selection of restaurants, especially interesting fish menu. There are disco, bars and thalassotherapy centers. The audience is Europeanized, women walk with open faces. There are not many hotels in Agadir, just over 40, under French influence, the service tends to be European, this is facilitated by the national character, the Moroccans are clean and hardworking people. Excursions to the desert, ancient cities and oases are really interesting. Many people are attracted by sea fishing (for sharks too) and windsurfing, by the way, divers in Morocco have nothing to do. A special asset is seafood, Agadir has the world's largest (!) Fish market.
Traveling to Morocco is an adventure.
GOA
The beach season is all year round, the best time to travel is from October to May, the water temperature is about 30 degrees. In the period from June to September - sometimes it rains. The direct flight from Moscow is about 6 and a half hours, a visa is required (registration is 10 days, there is an urgent option). Hotels are different, the general rule is that in the south of Goa the level of hotels is higher. Even in the most prestigious hotels there may be nuances, firstly, the Indians are leisurely, and secondly, they do not kill animals (i.e. cockroaches, etc.). If you are prepared for the fact that Goa is India, the trip will be magical. Goa, the smallest state in India, was a Portuguese colony for a very long time, became part of India only in 1987. Beaches with silvery-gold sand in the south and gray volcanic in the north, framed by emerald waters on one side and palm groves on the other. The beaches are municipal, in almost all hotels for the safety of tourists and their fencing from street vendors and beggars on the adjacent coastal areas, security is posted. All beach equipment, including sun loungers, umbrellas and towels, is free of charge. Hotels in India are built no higher than a palm tree (9 meters) and no closer than 300 meters to the sea (this is due to the ebb and flow).
Many tourists come here to get acquainted with the rich culture of India, exotic nature and, of course, visit the nightly discos right on the beaches, under the open sky. Discos and trance parties are no less significant here than in Ibiza. Interesting cuisine (spicy in some restaurants), inexpensive souvenirs and Ayurveda centers are additional reasons for a trip to Goa.
A trip to Goa is an unforgettable journey.
MONTENEGRO
The season in this small hospitable Slavic country begins in June and lasts until the end of September. Picturesque landscapes, pristine beaches with large, buckwheat-like sand attract many tourists from Russia and Europe. Reasonable prices in restaurants, similarity of mentality and similarity of languages \u200b\u200bmade this reserved Balkan corner very popular for Russians. In addition, Montenegro is in no hurry to introduce a visa regime after the states of the Schengen zone. The hotel base of Montenegro is still at the stage of development and there are simply no upscale hotels here, but there are many small family hotels, villas and apartments. The friendly atmosphere, warm climate and “Crimean” landscapes do not leave indifferent any visitor to Montenegro.
THAILAND

Black Sea resorts - where it is cheaper, where it is more expensive
The most distressing thing about the Russian resorts on the Black Sea is the cost of rest. Against the background of an obscure service, prices are amazing. Although there are changes for the better: cities and towns have become cleaner, many new worthy objects have been built, and the range of entertainment offered has expanded significantly.
Judging by the offers of early booking, in the summer of 2019, the most expensive vacation will be in Sochi, Gelendzhik, Anapa and Yalta. Cheaper - about 25-35% - in Adler, Sevastopol, Evpatoria and Koktebel. Even cheaper - up to 40-50% - in Alushta, Feodosia, Sudak, Kerch, Saki and Tuapse. The lowest prices are offered by small resorts of the Western and Eastern Crimea - Mirny, Shtormovoye, Mezhvodnoye, Ordzhonikidze, Kurortnoye and others.
The most expensive cafes, restaurants and hotels are located in the Imeretinskaya Bay area in Sochi (Photo © booking.com / Imereti coastal quarter) Where is the best infrastructure
The second most popular resort in Russia on the Black Sea is. There are many modern hotels and guest houses, a large selection of housing in the private sector. However, prices are overpriced and there are many tourists. During the season, there is not enough space on the public beach - tourists swim even under prohibitory signs. It is more comfortable to relax in the suburbs of Gelendzhik - Kabardinka and Arkhipo-Osipovka. Go there if you want to breathe more freely, although there is overcrowding there in the summer.
If you come to rest on the Black Sea at the height of the summer season, this is waiting for you. I took the photo on the beach in Divnomorskoye, Krasnodar Territory. Another city where you can have a great vacation with children in the Krasnodar Territory by the sea is. The acclaimed kids' resort stubbornly ranks among the top five. Most tourists choose villages and Dzhemete. The latter is a new rapidly developing resort with an excellent hotel base.
IN Tuapse developed infrastructure, but many people dislike the resort because of the port and the railway passing through the city.
You can have a good rest on the Black Sea in Crimea. The best and most developed resorts are, Sevastopol and.
According to tourists, the worst developed infrastructure is in small villages such as Dederkoy, Praskoveevka, Makopse, Vishnevka, Agoy, Krinitsa, Betta in the Krasnodar Territory and, Privetnoye, Mezhvodnoye, Kurortnoye in Crimea. As a rule, the local infrastructure is shops, cafes, children's attractions and water activities on the beach.

Maldives? Dominican Republic? No, this is a beach in Crimea! The village of Olenevka. Fine light sand, clear water and rich underwater world - this can be found even on the Black Sea in Russia. Resorts for outdoor activities

Divers prefer the shores of Adler, Anapa and Gelendzhik. There they can explore the beauty of the underwater world and conduct fascinating research on the remains of sunken ships.

Where is the best place to relax on the Black Sea in the summer of 2019 if you want privacy? According to tourists' reviews, we have compiled a list of quiet places and resorts in Russia on the Black Sea:
- The villages of Betta, Dzhanhot and Krinitsa (Gelendzhik).
- Uncrowded beaches in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Lower Imeretinskaya Bay in Adler.
- Uncrowded beaches near Kiselevaya rock and in Dzhubga (Tuapse).
- The coast from Dzhanhot to Praskoveevka was chosen by fans of wild camping with tents. There are also nudists.
- There are campsites on the wild beaches of Kabardinka (Gelendzhik) and Blagoveshchenskaya (Anapa).
- Eastern coast of Crimea near Ordzhonikidze and Kurortny.
- Wild beaches in the Sevastopol region (Cape Fiolent, Chersonesos, Laspi Bay) and in Lyubimovka.
Last summer we had a great time on vacation at the "Raccoon" camping near Arkhipo-Osipovka. As far as we have studied the topic, this is one of the best campgrounds in the entire Black Sea. The owners organized the work of the camping at the highest level, everything is civilized: hot showers, wi-fi, electricity, comfortable washbasins, decent toilets, plenty of space. In the evenings, raccoons come and ask for food - both children and adults are delighted. The campsite has several locations with stunning sea views!
One of our favorite places in Crimea is Cape Vinogradny in Sevastopol. Resorts for cultural and sightseeing rest
Any resort in Russia on the Black Sea offers a rich cultural and sightseeing vacation.
In Crimea many interesting places: you can visit unique bays and a nature reserve in the New World, ancient fortresses in Sudak and Balaklava, cave cities in Bakhchisarai, waterfalls and mountains in Yalta and Alushta, the Botanical Garden in Nikita, old palace complexes and parks (Alupka, Livadia, Massandra ), historical monuments and archaeological sites (Sevastopol, Evpatoria, Kerch) and much more.

There are good entertainment in the villages - Dzhemete, Vityazevo, Lazarevsky, Simeiz and others. The prices in bars, clubs and discos are quite affordable, in contrast to the expensive Yalta, Sochi and Gelendzhik.
The best beaches of Krasnodar region
Where is it better to rest for the elderly on the Black Sea
Elderly people are best suited to quiet places with a lot of greenery and silence in the evenings. Many come to be treated - in the health resorts of the Crimea and Krasnodar Territory they treat diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, respiratory organs (Yalta, Sochi), dermatological, urological diseases and diseases of the musculoskeletal system (Gelendzhik, Saki, Alupka, Evpatoria, Anapa).

The Black Sea resorts are considered the best for children Anapa, Evpatoria and Feodosia... All of them are not too expensive and, in terms of infrastructure, are ideal for families. Everywhere there are dolphinariums, water parks, children's cafes and amusement parks.
Where else can you relax with children in the Krasnodar Territory and Crimea? According to tourists' reviews, good conditions for family vacations can be found in Zaozernoye, Peschaniy, Lyubimovka, Ordzhonikidze (Crimea), Vityazevo, Dzhemete, Olgino, Lermontovo, Lazarevsky (Krasnodar Territory).
Advice: take into account the distance of the trip, prices and natural conditions. For example, Anapa is well suited for families with children, but in the middle of summer the sea begins to bloom, and the water becomes cloudy due to algae. If you compare in terms of prices, then the cheapest is a vacation in Feodosia, Sudak and the villages of Western Crimea, but it will take longer to travel.

Santorini is one of the Greek islands famous for the most magnificent sunsets. A favorite vacation spot for Hollywood movie stars, an island with outstanding architecture.
In addition to the above, Santorini is also famous for its beaches. The thing is that they are of different colors.
Holidays in Santorini are expensive, so it's best to stock up on some things that can keep costs down. For example things like multicooker pressure cooker buyperhaps better at home.
But let's continue on the beaches. The beach near the town of Kamari is black. This is the result of the action of a volcano located near Santorini. Volcanic sand heats up very well, and the sight of it causes, if not admiration, then surprise for sure. There is even a descent into the water along a volcanic plate.
Near the town of Akrotiri are the white and red beaches of Santorini. Red Beach was formed as a result of the destruction of rocks. White beach is the only one on the whole island. Pure white fine sand makes the sea water clear and especially blue.
Whenever you read this page, on the eve of the new warm season or long before its onset, we know what brought every user here: finding a summer vacation spot. In order for none of the readers to leave the site without information about where to rest during the vacation, We have prepared a material that unites summer resorts in the TOP-10 best.
Let's say more - there are many criteria for compiling such a list, so there will be several most popular points for a summer vacation destination.You can, for example, buy a ticket to Sri Lanka, but at the same time you should know that it rains constantly on the southwest coast in June and September, but on the east coast there is steady dry weather all summer. We tried to select such places for summer vacations, where nothing will prevent you from enjoying the gentle sun, regardless of the summer month and the location of a particular resort.
In order not to limit our readers in their choice, we will designate two TOP-lists of the corners of the world that are suitable for different pastime, having summer resorts on their territories.

This is easy to do if you focus on the name of the list. Good luck exploring your future summer destination!
TOP 10 most expensive summer resorts
We will agree that we will move from the end of the top ten, where the first on the list, but the tenth in the ranking, will be the country that least of all considered meets the sign of its high cost as a summer vacation destination. Consequently, at the end of this list will be the state in which the vacation in which will cost tourists a particularly round sum.
10. Opens this top tenCuba. Distant, but at the same time close to all of us, it welcomes tourists who are ready to spend their holidays carefree and fun at the summer resorts of their coast. It is impossible to tell in a few words about this country, salsa alone will require as much for its description as it takes all this thematic material. Therefore, you can read about Cuba separately on the page dedicated to this Latin American country. We have not forgotten about the famous Cuban cigars, the story of which is also located in the section dedicated to the state of Cuba. If you want to visit Cuba, but do not have enough money, you can take a loan. Wondering how much you have to pay each month? We have created an online loan calculator for you right on the site.

9. Republic of the Fiji Islands. If you look closely at the map, you can find the archipelago in the South Pacific, east of Australia. You will definitely not go wrong with the choice of a summer seaside resort if you choose Sunny Coral Coast. Vitti Levu or Mamanuca Islands. Such places for summer vacations are also suitable for an extreme type of vacation, so lovers of kayaking, rafting, diving and windsurfing will be pleased with the choice of this summer resort. Fiji will also delight guests arriving on the island who are looking for ethnic exotic forms of entertainment, which are represented by excursions to the villages of the locals of the archipelago - Fijians.
8. On the eighth place of the top ten, describing the most expensive summer vacation spots, isBelize. Perhaps this small country, located in Central America between Guatemala and Mexico, is familiar to someone by its old name - British Honduras. The unpredictable, but warm Caribbean Sea, as well as rich flora and fauna await everyone who chooses summer resorts not for a passive beach holiday, but for excursion hiking routes in the company of friends.
7. We move further in the ranking, and we give the next seventh position of the TOP to rest forSeychelles in the Indian Ocean . Everything is simple here: a little south of the equator, where the Coco de mer palm grows and the giant Aldabrian long-lived turtles are found. A great place to spend your holidays with children.
6. The next item on the list of the most expensive summer resorts is firmly assigned to the island.Anguilla , located in the east of the Caribbean Sea. This coral stretch of land in the turquoise surface of aquamarine consists almost entirely of sandy beaches. Where else can you find so much white coral sand and an abundance of seafood, the main of which is lobster. Nowhere, we say, and we will replenish the summer vacation spots with this island state.
5. If you haven't been toWest Indies, then the most excellent start to travel to this corner of the earth will be a route aimed atBarbados . This island state is located near South America and attracts attention for being outside the belt of annual tropical hurricanes. If you're looking for windsurfing summer resorts, head to the east coast of Barbados, while quiet summer destinations are concentrated on the south and west coast.
4. Further down the list, or rather even closer to the top of the TOP-10, there areMaldives ... The exoticism of the whole of South Asia, that is, that part of it, which is washed by the Indian Ocean, is typical for this multi-island state. Here is a paradise for gourmets who want to taste the cuisine of the Arab and Indian civilizations, assimilating each other in their rich flavors. The locals will not let tourists go without souvenirs made by them in the country style, which is traditional for these atoll islands. Actually, what summer resorts do without souvenirs?
3. Miami. Surprisingly, in our list of difficult summer vacation spots, it was not the state that got into its honorable third place, but the city of the United States, located in the state of Florida. Miami attracts everyone: its favorable geographical location, which gives the city only warm weather and the splendor of coastal landscapes, leaves no one indifferent. From its beaches you can see the gigantic buildings of the center, where important points of business are concentrated. This is a favorite location for the offices of foreign banks and organizations in the United States. Summer resorts like this are only too happy about this coincidence.
2. Bahamas. Or, if you like,Commonwealth of the Bahamas , which is located in the Atlantic Ocean, north of Cuba. This concentration of nearly two thousand atolls and about seven hundred islands. Note that not all of these summer vacation spots are inhabited, so you can become a Robinson even living in the 21st century. However, we do not recommend visiting the Bahamas for the traditional warm season of the northern hemisphere from June to October. But the winter months will be great on the local beaches.
1. British Virgin Islands. Perhaps there are more luxurious places for summer vacations, but points such as this one that combine the possibilities of creating an offshore business and a comfortable pastime are truly unique. Think about this when choosing summer resorts in order to implement a promising successful business on their territory.
To summarize this TOP-10 of expensive summer resorts, you can do the following: the basis for calculating the high cost of the considered resorts in warm countries includes the average cost of a flight to the final point of a summer vacation destination. Therefore, if we take the prices for the accommodation itself, then they are not that great, unless of course you choose summer resorts with exclusive service and luxury residential apartments. In addition, getting into the ranking of the most expensive summer vacation spots is guaranteed to those resorts that are not part of the mainland or are generally recognized places of concentration of world business regions or prestigious economic zones. And if the chosen summer vacation spot has both of the above features that characterize the resort as a geographical and economic point, then getting into the list of not the cheapest vacation spots for such countries is guaranteed.
TOP 10 most popular summer resorts
In this TOP, the countries will be arranged in a different order, and the most popular in terms of visits by foreign guests will be the one that is on the list first. Consequently, at the end of the list will be the state whose summer resorts are least in demand for a regular beach holiday. By the way, despite the weather and political upheavals, the most favorite places of tourists from the CIS countries have practically not changed. Therefore, we describe summer vacation spots precisely in terms of popularity among travelers, without pursuing commercial gain and sending readers to the site to no one knows where.
1. Turkey. It delights tourists with its luxurious hotels and the service offered by the organizers of these fabulous palaces on the seashore. In addition, many are attracted by the summer resorts where ultra all-inclusive vacations are organized. It is he who allows all tourists to relax in full force on the territory of hotels in Turkey. Of course, you can't tell in a few words about a summer vacation destination that hosts up to 30 million tourists annually. Therefore, you can read more about the summer resorts of Turkey in the section entirely dedicated only to this country.
2. Egypt. If in Turkey leaving the hotel is justified by the desire to get to the oriental bazaar, then Egypt gives us an excellent sightseeing summer vacation. It is chosen by those who want to touch those points on the world map that have been mysteries for all mankind since ancient times. In addition, divers feel great at the summer resorts of Egypt, and we understand them perfectly: the beauty of the depths of the seabed inspires any extreme vacation.
3. Russia, Krasnodar Territory. We have specially combined all the summer resorts of the Black and Azov Seas of Russia into one point in the rating of the most popular summer vacation spots. Because it is not easy to single out one city or village: almost each of us has the most favorite place where the vacation was spent in an atmosphere of happy and serene relaxation. And even if many of us now prefer to spend their holidays abroad, 90% of such tourists began to travel to those places of summer recreation that are closer to their native land.
4. Ukraine, Black Sea coast. Everyone is familiar with the Crimea peninsula, in other words, remembering its name in the previous era of statehood - an all-Union health resort. He is the same now: picturesque, inspiring, majestic and welcoming. Is that the service, taking into account all the achievements of our time, has become even better. Therefore, summer resorts in Ukraine are not inferior in demand to popular foreign resorts.
5. Abkhazia. This small, but very proud country is disinterested, simple and welcoming to all guests, as is customary among people of Caucasian roots. There is no point in describing Gagra, Sukhum or Gudauta - our story about the Abkhaz summer resorts in this short list of the most popular resort countries will be too superficial. Therefore, for a complete description of this resting place, you must turn to the primary source - the section dedicated to Abkhazia. We guarantee that the summer destinations of this country are worth a closer look at those looking for picturesque summer resorts on the Black Sea coast.
6. Thailand. And we will tell you about this country separately, just casually mentioning this tendency here: the longer a vacation in this country lasts, the cheaper it is to stay at any of its summer resorts. This trend has long been noticed by those who are not tied to permanent work and do not like cold winters: even the most wealthy people can spend the whole chilly and dull warm season of the Northern Hemisphere in Thailand. Fortunately, there are plenty of places for summer vacations in a country that, in principle, does not know winter.
7. Tunisia. This is another gem of those summer vacation spots that delight their visitors with comfort, care and just a beautiful pastime. We think that Tunisia, as a summer resort, was opened by those tourists who found the Mediterranean coast of Egypt too cramped. These two states are located almost side by side and, in general, are somewhat similar to each other in their climate and tourist infrastructure.
8. Republic of the Dominican Republic. It is located on the island of Haiti, in the Caribbean. Its nature is typical of the Atlantic summer resorts. However, there is something special about the Dominican Republic: affordability compared to summer vacation spots in that region. By the way, if Europeans, Ukrainians and Russians traditionally spend their holidays in Turkey, then for the inhabitants of the two continents, the Americas, in the Dominican Republic.
9. Summer resorts in Europe. In this category, it is also difficult to single out any particular state, therefore, all the famous summer vacation spots in Europe go together and occupy the ninth place in popularity in the ranking of vacation spots that are traditional for our readers.
10. Cuba. This is the only country that has bothered to get into the TOP-10 of the most expensive summer resorts and the top ten most popular summer vacation spots. In addition, in both cases it closes the rating list. What does it mean for a reason, the demand for exotic Cuban beach vacations is growing if many of us are targeting precisely these paradise islands of the Caribbean.
The result of all of the above will be the following: we describe only those summer vacation spots that are really interesting to all of you.

Anton: How many have traveled around the Crimea, we thought that they had already seen everything. But the Jeval Hotel surprised me.

In Sochi, sea vacations can hardly be called cheap. See prices for holidays in Sochi. Could there be something very close to Sochi, but cheaper? Yes!
Sea tour in Lazarevskoye Go to Lazarevskoye - this resort is cheaper, and you can even get to Sochi by public transport -.
If you want a more relaxing holiday at the sea, then you should go from Adler airport to the other side - to Abkhazia.
6. Sea vacation in Abkhazia - cheap and comfortable!
For those who have read this far - we tell about the best place to go in Russia by the sea... Abkhazia is not in the first place on our list just because it is not exactly Russia - it is nearby :) In all other respects, this is the best place where you can go to the sea with a Russian passport. A passport is not needed, rubles are used, local residents speak Russian. For a start, you can stay right in the city of Sukhumi - in the guest house "Rufina" - cheap, but quite comfortable.
How to get to Abkhazia? From Moscow to Sukhumi by train # 305 С. The journey takes 42 hours. Either from another city in Russia by train or plane to Sochi airport (located in Adler, see the cheapest flight prices), and from there to Sukhumi there are trains and buses, the journey takes 2-3 hours. On your own or rented car - through the border checkpoint across the Psou River, just go out and show your passport and documents for the car. Leave through the same checkpoint. There are no difficulties at the border, pure formality.
In the photo: vacation at sea in Abkhazia In Abkhazia, prices are lower, and sea rest is more comfortable. Here you are much more likely to find good beaches and clear sea. In addition, there are fewer tourists in Abkhazia at sea - the main thing is to drive away from Sukhumi to resort places, and then you can find a very inexpensive vacation on the seashore. Right on the beach!
For example, the ideal in terms of price and quality guest house "Alamys" (see photos, reviews and prices) is conveniently located in the resort of Gudauta, near the Black Sea. There are comfortable sun loungers on the beach and there are no other tourists nearby. The cleanest sea, delicious food. The sea can be admired around the clock from the balcony of the room - nothing like this on the first line by the sea in Sochi or Lazarevskoye will be found.
Rest on the sea in Abkhazia - guest house "Alamys" In addition to the sea, Abkhazia has beautiful nature, delicious wine and food. And the prices! Probably, such low prices for sea vacations in Russia are no longer available anywhere. Even a hotel with three meals a day costs 2 times cheaper than in Russia.
Napra in Abkhazia - an inexpensive recreation center with three meals a day
If on vacation you don't want to think about where to eat, just go to the recreation center “Napra” and have a rest:
In the photo: Napra - a hotel with three meals a day - a pleasant seaside vacation in Abkhazia A pleasant bonus in this hotel will be a view of the Black Sea on one side and mountains on the other. See photos and prices
We also recommend that you go to the magical Lake Ritsa in Abkhazia and see waterfalls and magnificent places along the way. If you do not have your own car, then contact who will help you organize everything and take you to the most beautiful places in Abkhazia, and the trip can be organized directly from Sochi.
