Many tourists are concerned about safety in African countries, including Tunisia. We hasten to reassure you and inform you that there are no threats to tourists in this country. The government has taken drastic measures and each resort is guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers around the perimeter. And the entrance to the territory of hotels and resorts by passes. Therefore, in this moment there is no chance that something will interfere with your rest.

Bulgaria is perhaps the cheapest country.
It's no secret that holidays in Bulgaria are cheaper than holidays in our country. And even with the flight it turns out cheaper. But not only for this reason there are many tourists here, there are others. More compelling reasons.


For example, hotels that will give odds to many famous hotels in the world. In Bulgaria, there are many hotels in the resorts for every taste and budget. Each hotel seeks to get tourists to itself and offers a lot of interesting things. Someone free tours, someone is proud of their own beach and free boat rental.

Spain is a little more expensive, but more beautiful!
Holidays in Spain are not the cheapest and this is due to the fact that flying to the country is further than to other countries. But if you decide not to save a few thousand, then the most best holiday in life!


The resorts and beaches of Spain are a fairy tale that has become a reality. The sun shines from morning until evening. Music plays, cocktails are poured in bars and a fresh breeze gently blows you. So I want to live every day and all my life.
The hotels are located right on the coast. And there are so many of them that you will find one that will become your temporary home. Each hotel offers its own entertainment program. Each hotel has its own restaurant with its own unique cuisine. You will rest and taste the most delicious food in your life.

Volga region

Very economical and non-hot option for recreation. The Volga expanses occupy a vast territory, comparable to the size of some states.

Wherever you go - up the Volga or down - in any case you will meet interesting city with some weirdness. Nizhny Novgorod with its unique relief, Kazan with its amazing combination of two cultures, Samara with its charming embankment, Volgograd with its memorial and museum complex. You can also visit Ulyanovsk, the birthplace of Lenin's grandfather, or Astrakhan, the birthplace of those same watermelons that fill the shelves of all domestic markets and supermarkets.

In August, comfortable weather sets in on the banks of the Volga. And if the Caspian Sea is a little hotter, then in other regions it is almost like paradise: summer is already leaving, but, like a polite person, he wants to leave a good memory of himself - and gives fine, but not not hot days. You can relax on the beaches, go hunting and fishing, walk along the cozy streets of the Volga cities and get acquainted with their history. Many local places are associated with the activities of great writers, artists and statesmen, so in the Volga region everything is in order not only with a beach holiday, but also with a cultural one.

Where to stay:

Krasnodar region

No matter how strong our desire to make an original list, but the brand "Resorts Krasnodar Territory”is so crushing with its authority that we are simply forced to give in to its onslaught. Yes, and you can go to the Black Sea all summer, not only in August. The average daily air temperature in the last summer month here is kept at +27 °С, and the water warms up to +25 °С. It is better to sunbathe in the morning, because by noon the air smells of fried. And it's not just about delicious treats in a cafe - it just gets a little hot.

If you are going to rest on the Black Sea with children, we recommend that you choose not large resorts, but the villages surrounding them. There are a little less tourists there, but in general it is quieter and calmer. Moreover, in such places, housing is rented mainly in the private sector - you can find a peaceful place.

Since the heat on the Black Sea in August has not subsided yet, rest here is mainly of a beach nature. Going on excursions in such weather is not very comfortable, but if you catch a cool day, it’s still worth going to see the local beauties. Climb into the cave, walk around botanical garden or head to local winemakers to taste their products.

Where to rest:

Abkhazia

In this region, the clear sea, the bright sun, natural beauties and historical sights are miraculously intertwined. To all this, the local flavor is added, which is created, among other things, by the owners of Abkhazian guest houses and other housing on the coast. They will do everything for you: they will provide accommodation, and they will tell you where to go, and with local cuisine introduce. And the treats here are special, you will not find them in other parts of the world: excellent wine, cheeses, meat dishes, a whole scattering of fruits, tea from local plantations and much more.

As for the beaches and the sea, here they are almost everywhere clean, no matter which Abkhazian resort you go to - Gagra, Pitsunda or Sukhum. The beaches are pebbly and sandy, mostly well-equipped, but there are also wild “blotches”. All this is combined with ancient monuments created in antiquity and the Middle Ages. For example, the Kelasur wall, stretching for more than 150 kilometers, or the ruins of a fortress on Mount Satanjo, or the ancient fortifications on the Aisra ridge. You can often find religious buildings, among which we note the Patriarchal Cathedral in Pitsunda.

Crimea

Crimea is good because here you can rent housing almost along the entire coast, a short walk from the sea. And this applies to almost every resort. You can choose from convenient mini-hotels, comfortable guest houses and other options in the private sector. It makes sense to stop at small towns, where, in comparison with large and popular resorts, holidays in August will be cheaper.

On the east coast Crimea stand out Sudak and Feodosia. The beaches here are sandy and pebbly, and the mountains gradually become a steppe. If you want windsurfing, you can get to Cape Kazantip. And if you are attracted by ancient structures, it is worth appreciating Genoese fortress in Sudak.

The southern coast of Crimea is the most famous and, one might say, hyped. However, not in vain. Alushta, Gaspra and Gurzuf have a good infrastructure, tailored specifically for tourists. In the western part of the peninsula, Evpatoria stands apart, which is well suited for families with children. In general, the western coast is cheaper than others, you can always find a good price here, including in August.

For recreation on Lake Baikal, tourists mainly choose settlements Slyudyanka, Listvyanka, Chivyrkuisky Bay and Olkhon Island. Another option is to stay in Irkutsk (from which you need to get to the lake) or in Baikalsk, located directly on the shore.

You can swim in the lake until the end of summer, but in many places the water is cold, so we recommend bays and bays (Chivyrkuysky, Mukhor, Barguzinsky), where the water temperature reaches +20 °C. However, even if the conditions for swimming are not very good, the surrounding beauty will still not go anywhere. Baikal is entangled from all sides mountain ranges and forests that will provide you with a lot of impressions and a great set of memorable shots.

Where to stay:

Cote d'Azur in August - a godsend for lovers beach holiday. The July heat has passed, the sun is warm, but not frying, and restaurants continue to generously add fresh seafood to dishes.

Half an hour away by car - Monaco. And if you do not plan to go to the casino, then at least enjoy the views from the hill. Or get to Cannes. Just an hour's journey - and you are in the city where the annual festival takes place.

July and August are traditionally hot holidays. Hot, both literally and figuratively. Opportunities have a nice holiday during this period - a lot. We will try to briefly talk about the most interesting travel destinations at this time, more precisely for a beach holiday.

July, August, beach holidays - a great combination and a lot of options. But it's probably not a secret that for Russians the most popular countries in this summer month are Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia. During this period, the listed countries turn into Russian-speaking ones. Someone finds a plus in this, someone a minus, but regardless of this, the temperature in these resorts is very high, and the weather is generally conducive to swimming in the sea and enjoying sunbathing.

The record holder for the heat here is Egypt, +40 +45 degrees are quite common. But you should not be afraid. The climate in this African country is very dry, and as a result, high temperatures are much easier to tolerate than in Moscow or St. Petersburg. The water temperature in the Red Sea averages +26 +29 degrees.

Turkey and Tunisia are slightly cooler. Here in July, the average monthly temperature is around + 33 + 35C, the sea warms up to + 27C. In August it gets a little hotter.

If you don't like the intense heat, you can go to the beaches of Europe - Italy, Spain, the Balkans. Here you will find a warm sea and a comfortable temperature for beach idleness + 27 + 29C. What else is good about European resorts is that swimming and sunbathing can be successfully combined with sightseeing vacation. Opportunities for this are countless.

Young people will love the wild discotheques of Ibiza and the carefree atmosphere of Cyprus and Malta. During the day - the sea and the beach, in the evening - in isolation. If you are traveling with children, then we recommend the Costa Dorada (Spain), its amusement park Port Aventura will not leave any kid disappointed, as well as adults. And in general, hotels and beaches in Spain are able to satisfy any, even the most demanding taste.

If you want a little more coolness, both in the air and in the water, but for everything to be, as they say, at the highest level, visit Portugal and its famous island of Madeira. Temperature +24 +25C is the best way to walk around the tasting rooms. The main thing is not to get carried away.

And of course, Montenegro and Croatia are waiting for you with their friendly and hospitable people and just an incredible number of sights and natural beauties. Water +25C, air +28C. It is all the more pleasant that Russians do not need a visa to enter these countries.

True, it must be admitted that it is more expensive here than in Southeast Asian countries, especially in terms of delicious food. But is this an obstacle for those who go for the maximum amount of vivid impressions?
