Which countries are inexpensive for holidays? Budget holidays in Europe: inexpensive countries to travel. Prices for housing, food, transport

A budget holiday at sea is the most pressing topic in the summer. You can organize a vacation for yourself not only in Russia, but also abroad.

About travel packages...

Independent trips to resorts are usually much cheaper than travel packages. But this rule does not always work. For a number of foreign destinations, it is sometimes cheaper to purchase a last-minute tour, the cost of which may even be lower than the flight. You can select such trips yourself on the appropriate resources.

Rules for finding a budget holiday

If you are planning to independently organize a budget holiday at sea for yourself, then you should be guided by the following rules:

The first thing that will help you save cash- this is a refusal to rest during the high season. When planning a vacation, you should focus on the beginning or end of the season. For domestic resorts this is May, early June and September. Firstly, at this time there is no such noticeable heat, and secondly, the sea is warm. And the prices differ significantly. If swimming in the sea is not a fundamental issue for you, and you are ready to relax by the pool and go on excursions, then in countries such as Bulgaria and Turkey, you can relax economically from October to April. During this period, even the most luxurious hotels offer significant discounts, so holidays become much more affordable. Many foreign resort complexes have heated swimming pools, which save the situation when the sea is cold.
If you want to spend a vacation in Bulgaria and Turkey, then you should opt not for half board, but for everyone’s favorite concept. Initially, it may seem to you that you are overpaying extra money, but in fact, purchasing drinks and food will cost you much more.
In order to organize the most budget-friendly seaside holiday abroad, you need to purchase last-minute tours or use the early booking service.
Don't forget that traveling alone is much more expensive than traveling with a group.

Sochi and Adler

Sochi and Adler are an obvious solution for a budget holiday at sea in Russia. Airplane tickets Moscow - Adler are relatively inexpensive - from about 5,800 rubles. The low-cost carrier Pobeda still operates flights in this direction. You can buy cheaper tickets from this company - from a thousand rubles, but it is worth considering that they are sold out quickly.

You can rent a house in Sochi from 20 dollars (1200 rubles), in Adler it is much cheaper - from 10 dollars (600 rubles). You can eat at the resorts in budget canteens.

In Sochi, inexpensive rooms are offered by the three-star hotels “Rose of the Winds” and “Valentin”; the cost of a double room in them will cost 3,000 and 3,200 rubles per day. For a resort, such prices can be considered quite affordable. Both establishments have a good location - in the very center of the city.

The two-star complex “Nairi” offers double rooms with a balcony for 2,700 rubles. The hotel has a sauna, bar, massage, swimming pool and much more.

Fans of comfortable rooms and good service can recommend four-star establishments Park Inn by Radisson and Zhemchuzhina, a stay in them per day will cost 4,600 and 5,200 rubles, respectively.

Accommodation in Adler

For those planning a budget holiday at sea in Russia, Adler may be an ideal option. The resort not only has expensive hotels, but also quite budget establishments and even guesthouses. The choice of housing is quite large. Among the proven hotels, we can recommend the three-star Almira (3,000 rubles) with excellent rooms and good service, and the more expensive Vesna complex (5,000 rubles), which has the most positive reviews and excellent infrastructure (swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts, massage).

Accommodation in four-star hotels in Adler will cost a little more. "AS-Hotel" offers double apartments from three thousand rubles. This is enough a budget option, since in more famous establishments rooms cost from seven thousand rubles.

Crimea

Speaking about a budget holiday at sea with children, it is worth paying attention to Crimea. In 2017, the cost of a Moscow-Simferopol plane ticket will cost about 7,000 rubles, and in the fall and spring it will be even cheaper. From Simferopol you can get to any resort on the peninsula.

Budget meals in Sudak, for example, will cost 200-300 rubles in a canteen (dinner, lunch, breakfast). If you want to order food in restaurants, then the amount of food expenses will increase to 500 rubles.

The most affordable seaside holiday in Russia can only be achieved if you live in the private sector. In Crimea, for example, you can choose small villages for recreation - Olenevka, Nikolaevka, Shtormovoe. In such places in guest houses you can find rooms for even three hundred rubles per day. On larger and famous resorts prices are higher. The minimum cost of living increases to 600 rubles per room. The average cost of living in 2017 in the private sector starts from a thousand rubles for a double apartment. In general, the villages can be safely considered as a budget holiday on the Black Sea with children.

As for food, as a budget option you can consider various snack bars and canteens, national cafes, canteens in guest houses with home cooking, and fast food establishments. Remember that the further you move from the coast, the lower the prices for food. In canteens and inexpensive cafes you can eat for two hundred rubles, and in an inexpensive restaurant for no less than 400 rubles. Food prices are more affordable in small resort villages. Accommodation and food in Yalta will cost much more than in other places, although budget places can be found here too.

Resorts of the Azov Sea

Budget holidays on the Azov Sea can be offered in the villages of Peresyp, Kuchugury and Ilyich. These small villages have good sandy beaches and underdeveloped infrastructure. Here you can find accommodation mainly in guest houses and the private sector.

It will cost a little more to stay in the villages of Golubitskaya and Yeisk, which have fairly decent hotels, an embankment, a cafe and a park. The village of Golubitskaya also has a well-developed infrastructure. There is night club, water attractions, mini-hotels and Renting a house in the village of Ilyich in 2017 will cost 1.5-3 thousand rubles, in Taman and Peresyp - up to 2.5 thousand rubles, and in the village of Golubitskaya - up to 6 thousand rubles. Accommodation in the private sector costs on average 250-600 rubles per day per person.

Resort villages Sea of Azov not so developed, but incredibly convenient for families with children. Warm shallow sea - the best place for babies.

Italy

If you are looking for options for a budget holiday at sea European countries, then you should pay attention to Italy. From Moscow you can get inexpensive tickets to the main cities of the country - Milan, Rome, Venice. The cost of a flight to these destinations is always cheaper (from 9,000 rubles) than to small towns. And you can get directly to the resorts by local buses.

A budget holiday at sea in Italy can be organized at one of the most famous resorts - Rimini. Of course, accommodation in local hotels cannot be called cheap - from 35 dollars per room per night, but such offers are quite rare. On average, you should aim for 50-100 dollars per day. As for meals, the minimum cost for breakfast is $4, lunch is $7, and dinner is over $10.

It is worth noting that Rimini is known for its beaches and warm, shallow water, so the resort is perfect for a budget seaside holiday with children. The resort has a well-developed infrastructure and a good choice hotels for every taste and budget. Rimini is also popular among young people.

Bulgaria

In Bulgaria, you can organize the most budget holiday on the Black Sea abroad, which is why all local resorts are incredibly popular among tourists. Sunny Beach is considered the most democratic place to relax. The fine sand on the beaches and the gentle entrance to the sea have long been loved by supporters of beach and sea holidays. The coast is about forty meters wide, and it stretches eight kilometers in length. In modest hotels you can rent a small room for $19 per night.

An even more budget-friendly holiday on the Black Sea can only be found in small Bulgarian seaside villages and towns. In such areas there are many two- and three-star hotels, as well as guest houses in the private sector. Local residents often rent out the upper floors of their houses to tourists. Holidays in Kranevo, Balchik, Nessebar, Sveti Vlas, Pomorie, Ravda and Tsarevo can be economical.

Sometimes tours to Bulgarian resorts can be purchased at very affordable prices (from 20 thousand rubles). And promotional offers can be even more attractive. And this despite the fact that the tour price includes accommodation, flights, insurance and transfer.

Bulgaria is interesting to many travelers because it offers budget holidays at sea in September. At this time, the air temperature drops to +25 degrees, there is no summer heat and sea water remains still warm. In September it is good to relax in Nessebar, Sofia, Sozopl, Balchik, Plovdiv and Varna. The cost of living at resorts is reduced because there is no large influx of tourists.

Croatia

Croatia can offer a budget holiday at sea abroad. The cost of a round trip ticket from Moscow to Dubrovnik, Pula or Split is 13 thousand rubles. In such well-known hotels, prices are quite high. You can rent an economy room for $30. And, for example, in Dubrovnik you will have to pay at least 40 dollars for a night in a guesthouse, and the establishment will be located far from historical center. Room rates in four-star hotels start at $130.

If you consider small towns, such as Plat and Cavtat, as a holiday destination, you can save a lot. Resort villages offer clear sea, clean air and beautiful beaches on the Adriatic coast. What else do you need for a vacation with kids?

Cyprus can also be considered as a place for a budget holiday at sea in the summer. The cost of a flight from Moscow to Larnaca in the summer is about 10,600 rubles. Pobeda airlines now fly to Cyprus. Sometimes flying to a country can be incredibly inexpensive, especially if you are lucky enough to take advantage of a promotion from one of the airlines.

On average, the cost of hotel rooms ranges from 40-60 dollars.

Greece

A more budget-friendly option for a seaside holiday, unlike Cyprus, can be organized in Greece. A flight from Moscow to Athens or Thessaloniki will cost approximately 8,800 rubles. But tickets to Corfu, Crete and Rhodes are much more expensive (12,000 rubles).

And if you’re lucky and manage to find a last-minute ticket, then the cheapest vacation at sea in the fall can cost half as much as in the season. Russians prefer Turkish resorts for the opportunity to have good rest and nutrition, for numerous attractions and the cleanest sea.

A ten-day holiday in Thailand will cost 700-800 dollars. Experienced tour operators believe that this is the country where you can relax the cheapest in 2017. This is due to the fact that in any region of the country you can have a wonderful holiday for 15-25 dollars. per day.

Czech

In the very center of Europe is the small ancient state of the Czech Republic. She got a great chance to prosper thanks to a convenient geographical location, being at the intersection of trade routes between Europe and Asia, as well as rich mineral resources and a mild climate. When looking at budget tours to Europe, tourists from all over the world choose the Czech Republic. It attracts with balneological resorts, very beautiful architecture, locks and service at the highest level. But the most important pearl of the Czech Republic is, of course, the capital Prague. This is where all tourists flock, because the spirit of this city is unique, you fall in love with it at first sight.

Food in Prague is not very expensive:

breakfast from 2.5 dollars;
you can have lunch in many cafes and restaurants for 3.5-7 dollars;
for dinner in a restaurant for tourists you need to cook from 10 dollars, so it’s more profitable to go to a pub or an establishment with a local audience, where you can eat inexpensively and drink excellent Czech beer - it will cost 3.8-5.8 dollars or 100-150 CZK

Beer is very cheap in Prague, the prices of which vary depending not only on the type, but also on the establishment:

Half a liter of draft beer costs 0.9-1.7 dollars (25-45 CZK), common price for it 1.2 dollars (30 crowns).
In a store, you will have to pay 0.5-1 dollar for a bottle of beer.

If you are interested in how to travel around Europe on a budget, then we recommend first of all using public transport in cities, since travel on it is inexpensive. For example, in Prague there are buses, trams and metro:

A monthly pass costs 550 CZK ($21).
For 72 hours – 310 CZK ($12).
For the day – 110 CZK (4.2 dollars).
There are passes for short trips: for half an hour 24 crowns (90 cents), for an hour and a half 32 crowns (1.2 dollars).

All passes apply to any type of transport.

A traveler can spend the night in a shared room in a Prague hostel for a minimum of 216 CZK ($8.7). Such hostels can be found at almost every step in the capital, so there are plenty to choose from. The most undemanding people can be satisfied with a room in a common room, but you can also take a double room, which, naturally, will cost more. Prices in Prague hotels located in remote areas start from 542 CZK ($21) per night.

Have you already been to Europe? Which country can you call the most budget-friendly? Tell us about your travels and experiences in the comments.

Have you issued a citizen's passport to travel abroad? It would be a sin not to use it. It’s not all about relaxing at your mother-in-law’s dacha or going to pebble resorts year after year. Anyone who has been abroad and had the opportunity to compare often speaks less than flatteringly about the level of service at domestic resorts. But if your wallet is not very rich, it is clear that you should not go to Courchevel. But where to go, in which countries? cheap holiday? Let's try to understand this issue.

There is one small but defining nuance here. How long of a vacation can you afford? After all, the cheapest countries for holidays are, by chance, very far from Russia and, therefore, getting there will be expensive. Spend about a thousand dollars on a flight and live for two weeks in the tropical paradise of Southeast Asia for about $100? All the same, no matter how you look at it, it will come out to a thousand and a hundred conventional units. A little expensive for one person. But if you are a freelancer and can work remotely, then it’s a different matter. Just imagine: every morning you take a sun lounger, a laptop and go to the beach. Free, of course. And you spend about $150 a month on housing, food and clothing. And without denying yourself anything.

The most cheap country for the rest of such downshifters - India. Everything costs mere pennies. For $50 a month you will have shelter, and with all the amenities. As for food, $40 for the eyes is enough. There is no shortage of five-star hotels in India. Ask your compatriots who came to Goa on a tour, and you can easily calculate how much money you saved thanks to your independence.

Second place in the ranking of “the cheapest country for a holiday” is taken by Indonesia. Food here is twice as expensive as in India, but you can have lunch at a local restaurant for two dollars. In general, a month's stay in Bali will cost you $160 per month. Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam are countries with as yet untrodden hiking trails. This is reflected in prices in a favorable direction for you. In principle, if you know how to drive a scooter, you can go to the more prestigious Thailand. There, the price of housing varies greatly depending on how far it is from the sea. You can rent a nice bungalow with all amenities for $150 per month. From countries Latin America Costa Rica, Bolivia, Honduras, and Argentina can be called cheap.

But if your vacation is 2-3 weeks? It is clear that distant countries are no longer needed due to expensive flights. It’s worth turning your gaze somewhere closer. So what is the cheapest country for Hungary and Poland will pleasantly surprise you with their prices and high service service. Prices there, of course, are not like in Cambodia, but also not as high as in Germany or France. If your goal is the beach and the sea, consider Bulgaria as an option. There is one “but” when traveling around Europe. This is a visa. Even if getting it is not a problem (as, for example, in Bulgaria), it still costs money.

The cheapest country for a holiday independent traveler- Egypt. Even for group tourists, a week in a 4-star hotel with all-inclusive and airfare will cost about $400. And if you take the trouble, find a sale of charter tickets, and at the same time google for “Housing rentals in Sharm el-Sheikh/Hurghada,” then simply unheard-of prospects will open up before you. Luxury apartments there cost $250 per month. Why do you need “all inclusive” if the local market offers high-quality products at a cheap price?

Even in times of crisis, you can find opportunities to travel abroad cheaply. The only thing you need is
1. do not resort to the services of travel agencies; 2. choose countries that offer inexpensive holidays;
3. If possible, book everything in advance.

In many countries, travel costs can be easily reduced if you choose to travel public transport, and look for hotels based on the principle “we just need to spend the night.” For example, in India or Indonesia, the daily budget for two is on average 40-50 US dollars. Although, this is an average. You can reduce the cost of traveling to these countries by up to 20 US dollars.

Below is the entire list of countries worth traveling to in 2016-2017.

Vietnam - beautiful southeastern country, where there are still corners of nature untouched by man. The popularity of holidays in this country is currently experiencing unprecedented growth, but so far this has not greatly affected its cost.
Some people believe that vacationing in Vietnam is even more comfortable than in Thailand. If only because Vietnamese cuisine is closer to our stomach than the more exotic Thai cuisine - this is how the periods of French colonialism and then friendship with the USSR affected the country. The latter also reflected in the fact that the most important resorts Vietnam is reminded of the greatness of a former great friend: at every step in Nha Trang or Mui Ne one encounters either the “Matryoshka” cafe or even the “USSR” store.
