Comfortable vacation in August at the sea. Where to relax in August abroad? Where not to go in August

Summer is a blessed time for which we have been waiting for a whole year. His final month is an opportunity to catch up on June and July. A rainy autumn and a cold winter are ahead, and people are wondering where to go in August to get enough warmth, fruits and impressions. Today, the tourism industry offers many options to leave for the summer for every taste and budget.

Features of the August holiday

This month, you can catch the hot sun on the beach, stock up on vitamin D for future use, fish in Iceland, explore ancient architectural monuments in Egypt or Thailand, sign up for a food tour, or simply combine vacation and shopping. In August, there are many children among vacationers. The tourism industry is attentive to this category of guests. A rare hotel does not have a program for young visitors, special staff and equipped areas.

If vacation in August is a status, a good indicator of personal success. As the proverb says, "in August, summer is skipping towards autumn." And vacationers-travelers are just as briskly ready to catch up with the elusive summer, and the phenomenon “we will not miss the end of the season” is so widespread that it leads to the appearance of serious disadvantages of recreation at this time.

Disadvantages of a hot pore

When planning where to fly to rest in August, you should take into account some circumstances.

High season - sky-high prices

This is a hot time for the travel business. Those who did not go on vacation in June missed the opportunity to save 50-80% on travel. Therefore, we advise tourists with children to choose the first half of the summer, and independent travelers it is more correct and cheaper to focus on the beginning of September.

Service is not the same

The congestion of vacationers reduces the level of service. Guests can wait several hours upon check-in or, conversely, they may be asked to vacate the room a little earlier. In restaurants, waiters barely have time to serve a crowded room, and being late for breakfast or lunch threatens with cold dishes. To go to the tennis court or medical procedures, you will have to sign up almost a day in advance.

Crowded beaches

Beach lovers should take into account the August congestion of resort guests on the beach, and this is muddy water, overcrowding, a shortage of free changing cabins and sun loungers. Many children recklessly throw a ball over their heads, throw sand on sunbathing citizens, shout loudly, cry and laugh.

Too hot

Nature does not have bad weather, but it is too hot. In most countries, where Russians are used to having cheap and all-inclusive vacations, this time of year is simply hot. Temperatures outside the window of an air-conditioned room range from 35 ° C to + 45 ° C, jeopardizing a pre-planned local sightseeing program.

Types of August holidays

In 2017, the economic crisis continues and the supply in tourism is still significantly higher than the demand for tours. To stay afloat, travel agencies have to operate in an aggressive competitive environment and expand product varieties so that no potential customer leaves unsatisfied.

Beach resorts

What beaches and where to relax in August? The last month of summer is most comfortable on the beaches of the Mediterranean and Black Seas, but because of the heat, it is better to plan the cultural program in the early morning. We list resorts with a comfortable temperature:

  1. Crimea is a pleasant place on the Black Sea coast due to low humidity and coniferous air on the southern coast.
  2. - the northern islands of Thassos and Corfu.
  3. Cyprus - it will be a little cooler only in the resort of Paphos.
  4. Italy is the mainland.

Sophisticated tourists, when asked where it is best to relax in August, definitely recommend Madeira or Tenerife. It makes no sense to make long flights in search of the bright sun and gentle sea on the shores of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. It's hot there and the rainy season begins.

Tenerife, Spain

Excursion tours

August is a wonderful month for sightseeing. We advise you to give preference to European countries. The best options for a budget vacation are Hungary and its capital Budapest, the Czech Republic and the most beautiful Prague, as well as Slovenia. These directions are also the closest ones.

If the choice fell on the northern countries - Finland, Sweden, Holland, Belgium - keep in mind that in the last summer month the air temperature here is no higher than + 18 ° C and it often rains. It makes sense to take windbreakers and sweaters with you, but purchasing them locally is very ruinous. Everything is very expensive in Scandinavia, but here you can safely purchase a cheaper version of the tour - a bus tour. Cool August will make the trip comfortable.

An excursion trip to the sea states - Portugal, Spain, Greece - will allow you not only to get acquainted with the local architecture and cultural values, but also to devote time to a possible beach vacation. As a rule, the tour provides for 1-2 days at the seaside. Traditionally, in August, the price of staying in hotels is very high. We recommend staying in hostels where prices are not affected by seasonality.

Portugal, Porto

Exotic travel

For tourists looking for an exotic vacation in August, we definitely recommend the Caribbean countries - Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Peru and Brazil. Here you can combine a beach holiday of the last cloudless days before the rainy season with a visit to the numerous monuments of the Mayan, Aztec, Inca and Olmec eras.

China is worth a look this month. The visa-free resort of Hainan is a great place for lovers of ancient national culture. Tradition and state-of-the-art technology for those who crave innovative shocks, Hong Kong has prepared.

Fans of the heritage of Ancient Siam can combine beach joys and excursions only on Koh Samui. This is the only place in Thailand where it doesn't rain in August.

If you are one of those who love winter in summer, welcome to the harsh northern Iceland. At this time, the peak of the tourist season is here. Volcanoes, geysers, canyons and icebergs attract tourists from all over the world. And after the Yokursarlon glacier lagoon appeared in one of the James Bond films, it became another local attraction.

Festivals and Holidays

There is a certain part of tourists who are not interested in a beach holiday or leisurely sightseeing. Apply for them to participate in a thematic event, and it can be inexpensive. International tourism offers holidays and festivals for all tastes.

The most interesting shows in August:

  • in Edinburgh - at the international performing arts festival;
  • in Siena, an old Italian town, at the races;
  • in Bilbao (Spain) - during the Big Week, where bullfights, fairs, dances and circus performances last seven days in a row;
  • in Peterborough (England) - at the traditional beer festival;
  • in Berlin - at the "Long Night of Museums" event on 26 August.
  • In Venice - at the famous Venice Film Festival, this is how the eventful August will end and September will begin.

At the beer festival

In our country, there are also quite interesting events, for example, the reconstruction of the battle on the Borodino field, in which not only domestic historical clubs take part, but also many foreign guests.

On the Volga, in Kostroma, in August is traditionally a festival of fireworks "Silver Boat". Among the teams of pyrotechnics, the winner is determined who presented the most spectacular fire show.

Gastronomic tourism

Gastronomic tourism - a trip with informational purposes in relation to national cuisine. The traveler learns the intricacies of the production and preparation of culinary dishes. Where to go to rest in August for food lovers:

  1. Fish festivals that have become popular all over the world. In Knysna (South Africa), the oyster festival is an event not only for those who love seafood, but also for athletes.
  2. Several holidays are dedicated to onions at once - the August onion fair in Weimar, the Berne onion market and the onion festival in Waltz.
  3. Garlic also did not go unnoticed. The Garlic Music Festival opens in the UK, on ​​the Isle of Wight, and is named IsleofWightGarlicFestival. The festival combines a country fair and 60s happenings. Here you can even taste garlic ice cream and beer of the same name.

Gastronomic tourism is also actively developing in our country. Thus, in August, Minusinsk hosts a festival that has become the city's hallmark - Minusinsk Tomato Day. In the same month, but already in Astrakhan, themed "Signor Tomato" and "Russian Watermelon" are held.

Our country also has its own onion festival - in the Ivanovo region, in the city of Luh, a festival of the same name is being held. Kolomna, whose gardening traditions date back over 600 years, became the birthplace of the "Antonovskie Apples" apple festival. And near Ryazan, in the village of Novoselki, it is customary to hold the "Raspberry Festival", the slogan of which has become - "Life is a raspberry!"

Ski vacation

The first days of August-early September are not a reason to give up their favorite pastime for people for whom only mountains are better than mountains. For fans of skiing and snowboarding, there is a place to take their heart out and support their qualifications.

Traditionally, it is believed that at this time the most upscale ski holidays are offered by the resorts of the southern hemisphere, because June, July and August are winter months there.

New Zealand awaits fans of winter sports in the South and North Islands. At the end of May, the temperature drops below zero, at the same time snowmaking begins to work. The cannons allow the season to be extended until the end of October. Only here you can ride on the slopes overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and instead of crows and sparrows, you can admire alpine parrots and kea. The resorts are equipped with modern lifts and have slopes for advanced and expert levels. Local guides will show you the places for those who prefer freeriding.

The main ski slopes in Australia are located in the state of Victoria. The season starts on the second Saturday of June, however, in 2017 Australia has a warm and little snowy winter, so skiers recommend gathering on local slopes in July-August. In such cases, snow cannons come to the rescue of nature, with their help skiers can enjoy the slopes until the end of November.

Argentina opened the season in mid-June thanks to an early and snowy winter in 2017. In South Africa, Lesotho and Chile in August-September is the height of the ski season.

August vacation with children

It is at the end of the summer that parents attach particular importance to the health improvement of their children before the next school year. Today, all resorts and hotels are guided by the presence of young guests, creating the maximum comfort and entertainment for both one-year-old and a teenager. When choosing a travel route, you should focus on three individual indicators:

  • age - for those who are younger, the main interest will be the sea and sand, the older ones prefer excursions, amusement parks and zoos;
  • character - every child from early childhood is a personality, therefore, his interests and wishes should be taken into account when setting priorities for rest;
  • state of health - many resorts specialize in the treatment of certain diseases or simply in the intensive recovery of children with low immunity.

The beaches of Bulgaria, Turkey, Spain will gladly accept tourists with children. There are also educational tours, for example, to the medieval castles of the Loire in France. If parental leave was not in August, summer health camps will come to the rescue. In order for the child to spend time with benefit, you can purchase a ticket to a sports or linguistic camp.

Rest places in Russia

Many Russians prefer the recreational resources of their homeland to overseas countries like Turkey, Tunisia, Vietnam, Thailand and Egypt. Russia is so vast and diverse that a lifetime is not enough to get to know its best corners.

Crimea

Even in the ever-memorable Soviet times, Crimea was an all-Union health resort, and now, when it is ours, these regalia can be safely returned to it. Here it is safe and simply fabulous - diverse nature: from the Kerch steppes with fields of agricultural firms that grow roses for perfumery production, to the southern coast of Crimea with its palaces of members of the royal family, relict forests and cypresses.

But at the end of the summer in Crimea, there are also disadvantages:

  1. It is very hot, especially in the first half of the month, + 35-38оС.
  2. Expensive. Until the bridge across the Kerch Strait is open, everything is delivered by ferries, from food to fuel. This constitutes an additional mark-up.
  3. Overpopulated. The Crimean beaches are crowded in August.

But there are waterfalls, dry air filled with a healing coniferous aroma, curative mud, wondrous beauty of the coast, Aivazovsky Park, the unique Nikitsky Botanical Garden, famous wineries, caves, canyons, bays and mountains. In addition, the symbols of Crimea are the Swallow's Nest Palace, the city of heroic glory Sevastopol, sung by the poets of Bakhchisarai, the mountain church of Foros and the white-winged Yalta.

Krasnodar region

Continuing the tradition of recalling the Soviet resort epic, we will quote a popular expression: "If there is a paradise in the world, this is the Krasnodar Territory." In terms of tourism, the region is better developed than other resort places in Russia. There are options for any budget - from unassuming for those who came here for the sun and sea, to VIP, which is the focus of 5-star hotels - Adler, Sochi's Rosa Khutor, elite nightclubs, restaurants and ocean-going yachts.

In terms of the level of service in the Krasnodar Territory, we have already caught up with Europe, and in terms of the August cost of living and entertainment, we generally surpassed it, and the resorts of Asia, the Indian coast and the Caribbean, taking into account the cost of the flight overseas.

The disadvantages of recreation during this period are the same as in Crimea: high season dictates high prices, too many people on the beaches and it is very hot. But you can focus on sanatorium recovery - there are hundreds of hospitals, boarding houses and health resorts.

For those who have respiratory problems, it is recommended to rest not on the Black Sea, where the August heat is accompanied by high humidity and heavy rainfall, but in the Azov region, where it is dry, and in the daytime there are breezes that bring illuminating air saturated with sea salt ions and iodine.

Abkhazia

The political map of the world informs that Abkhazia is not part of the Russian Federation, so why did we include it in the rating of the most popular domestic resorts? The point is the true hospitality of the Caucasus, feelings of spiritual closeness and brotherhood of our peoples. What do Abkhazia and the French Riviera have in common? This is the same latitude and the same high air temperature in August, + 30 ° C - the usual thermometer readings. The situation is complicated by high humidity - on average, 80%.

Gagra

Tourists who have chosen Gagra as their final destination should take into account the peculiarity of the resort's location - the minimum air circulation. Being here will seem comfortable only for those who love the tropics.

For coolness in Abkhazia, you should go to the mountains, not forgetting to take raincoats with you, because tropical showers at such an altitude above sea level are common. You have not seen Abkhazia if:

  • did not dine at the Gagripsh restaurant, where the national food is simply incomparable;
  • did not visit the magnificent example of landscape design opposite this catering establishment - the park of the Prince of Oldenburg;
  • did not climb the Mamzishkh mountain on horseback to observe a panoramic view of Pitsunda and Gagra.

Nevertheless, one should take into account two significant drawbacks - the level of service as a whole is noticeably lower than similar offers in the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory and Crimea, and a high crime rate.

More places worth visiting in Russia

In August, it is best to combine rest with health improvement, for example, at the resorts of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. The effectiveness of healing mud, unique mineral springs and magnificent air has been proven for many centuries. Lovers of cruises this month can go on a trip along the Volga or give preference to the Black Sea, visiting the ports of the Crimea and Krasnodar Territory on a snow-white liner.

Kamchatka

For those who avoid the heat, this is the best month to explore Kamchatka - a territory of geysers, volcanoes, bears and majestic nature. Karelia is waiting for fishermen and those who love thoughtful rest on the shores of lakes covered with dense coniferous forests, kayaking, ancient temples of Valaam and just a magnificent season of wild berries and mushrooms.

Without a doubt, the price tag for rest and tourist service at this time is inhumane - almost twice as expensive as compared to the same July. However, even in the midst of the season, there are last minute deals and, finally, automobile and wild tourism, which provides for a settlement in the private sector. Good August to you!

Everyone wants to have a good time on vacation at least once a year, it can be a beach resort or just a romantic trip to the beautiful countries of the world. But everything is not so simple here, because a lot depends on where you are going and when. In some countries it is better to go in June, and somewhere in the middle or at the end of summer. We'll see in August.

Beach, romance and green tourism

Of course, most people are going to go to the sea, and this is not surprising. After all, what could be better than lounging on the warm sand under a light sea breeze. For many, this is the best vacation. As for August, this month you can go to many countries, for example, Tunisia or Egypt, Turkey or Greece, as well as Bulgaria. The choice is very large. If you love the so-called green tourism and everything connected with it, you can visit the eastern and western shores of Crimea. Here you can find not only a lot of densely growing greenery, but also a lot of interesting activities, such as diving or windsurfing. Active rest can be alternated with romantic. Any resort has cozy places where it is pleasant to spend time with your loved one. In Crimea, these are quiet shallow bays, and in Greece - sandy beaches with emerald clear water, in which you can see the most diverse exotic animals. Of course, you already know what is considered the most favorable in August. This is due to the fact that it is no longer so hot, and the water is warmed up enough to relax with children.

Where is it better to relax in August, or TOP places

Many tourists would like to see a pictorial list that can guide them when choosing a resort. Let's try to compose it. If you are an amateur then we strongly recommend visiting Greece in August. Montenegro will also please at this time. As for Turkey, you will not see any difference between August and July, it will be equally hot here. In fourth place is Tunisia, which has become very popular in recent years. In August there is a "golden season" and there are a lot of tourists. But it is worth paying your attention to the fact that the prices this month are very, very high. This is the so-called tourist peak. If you go to the same place, but already in September, you can save up to 20% of your money, although the rest will no longer be so bright.

If you are a fan of various excursions and festivals, then you can travel endlessly throughout Europe. These can be the most diverse countries, for example, Portugal or Italy, Greece or Spain. There is really something to see in these places. For example, you can visit various museums or get acquainted with the historical sights of cities. As for romance or families with children, Paris, Montenegro and the Scandinavian countries are considered ideal places. Of course, this is far from a complete list, but you already know what you need to be guided by.

Holidays in Tunisia in August: advantages and disadvantages

The sea is incredibly warm this month. The temperature at night does not drop much, this contributes to the fact that you can swim in the sea around the clock. August is the imperial holiday month in Tunisia. This month the nights drag on for a very long time, so you can fully enjoy all the variety of entertainment. Here you will find not only a sandy beach with azure water, but also festivals that are held throughout the holiday season. You can enjoy performances by jazz artists in the open air, and classical music is also very much appreciated. Therefore, if you are not only a lover of sunbathing on the beach, but also respect classical music, then be sure to come to this heavenly place.

During the daytime, the temperature does not drop below 35 degrees Celsius, get ready for it. You will definitely get a beautiful tan, but if you are in the shade from 11 to 3 pm, you will be able to avoid sunstroke. Of course, a vacation in Tunisia in August is famous for its nightlife. Restaurants, bars, strip shows and much more await you in this unforgettable place. Be sure to visit at least one sushi restaurant on the waterfront, where you will find not only a wide variety of dishes, but also delicious food. As you can see, you will not be bored in Tunisia, so pay attention to this direction.

Sea vacation, or How to take everything from vacation

There is nothing worse than a wasted vacation. That is why it is better to fly to the south, where you can always relax properly. However, here you will surely face a problem, which will be the complexity of the choice. You can go to Bulgaria, Montenegro, Egypt or Turkey, because all these places guarantee you a good rest. Be guided by your budget. If the amount of money is limited and you are looking for a budget trip, then go to Bulgaria without hesitation. It should be noted that a seaside vacation in August is the most expensive, so get ready for the high cost of housing and food. At this time, almost all popular resorts raise prices by an average of 15% -20%, as an influx of tourists is expected. Turkey is the most expensive this month, while Greece, Montenegro and Egypt are slightly cheaper. Although, a lot also depends on how and how much you are used to rest. As for the Crimea, here, too, a seaside vacation in August will be delightful, but again the price bites. For the same money, you can fly to Greece for a week and at the same time stay in a 3 * hotel.

We fly on vacation to Greece

In recent years, this direction has become extremely popular. Several factors influenced this. First, the prices are reasonable. As noted above, they are almost similar to the Crimean ones, only the difference in the quality of rest is large. In Greece, the service is at a higher level, and the beaches are much better monitored, even if they are free and do not belong to any of the hotels. It is worth coming here because of the wonderful sea, which is crystal clear and incredibly warm at the end of summer. It will be hot here during the day, so at lunchtime it is better to be in a hotel or somewhere in the shade.

The most popular islands are Rhodes, Corfu and others. For lovers of beautiful nature, Corfu is very suitable, as this island simply surprises with its landscape and is one of the most beautiful places on the Ionian Sea. If you still do not know where to fly to have a rest in August, then pay attention to the Filaraki resort - this is a paradise with lively beaches, the prices here are exactly the same as in Rhodes. You will be pleasantly surprised not only by the sea, but also by the multitude of entertainment programs and sea activities that Greece will offer you. You already know where to relax in August in this beautiful country, so let's move on.

Heading to the shores of Turkey and Egypt

Let's start with Turkey. Much has been said about this resort, both good and bad. We will look at both the advantages and disadvantages of a summer vacation in this country. I would like to say right away that there is no need to count on any discounts in August. At this time, there are a lot of tourists, so the prices for everything are extremely high. It is very hot here all the time, it is recommended not to swim at lunchtime, as even in the water you can easily burn out. Remember to use sunscreen and try to stay out of the sun as little as possible. Basically, here you can have a good rest in August. In Turkey, you can also find popular stars of the CIS countries.

As for Egypt, you can have a great time here too. In this country, in terms of service and entertainment, you will find almost the same as in Turkey, only the prices are 10% lower. Along the coast there is a huge number of bars and restaurants, where tourists mostly hide in hot weather. The sea is very warm. At night, the temperature does not drop below 25 degrees Celsius, so the water does not have time to cool down. Of course, it is quite possible to have a rest in Egypt in August and have an unforgettable time.

Budget holidays in the most popular resorts

What to do if you really want to go to the sea, but money is scarce? In this case, you need clear cost control and savings. You already know where to relax in August, but all these places are not the cheapest. However, with the right approach, you can spend less and have a great time. Bulgaria offers a relatively inexpensive vacation in August. The fact is that the resorts of this country are not yet fully developed, although over the past few years the situation has changed a lot. Since the prices here are low, more and more tourists come every year. For about the same price, you can have a good time on the beaches of Croatia, although in September it will be cool there, so this time is not suitable for swimming for children. Montenegro will be a little cheaper for tourists. The climate in this country is mild and pleasant, there are a lot of tourists from Russia, and the people are hospitable. In principle, you can also have an inexpensive vacation in the Crimea in August. The average price for a room this month is about 600 rubles, a day of renting an apartment will cost you about 1000 rubles, and a week spent in an average hotel room 7000-8000 rubles. Although it is difficult to say something unequivocally here, since the prices, for example, in Yalta and Feodosia are very different.

You don't have to spend your entire holiday on the beach. There are many more interesting places where you should definitely visit. That are only the Scandinavian countries. The climate in this region at the end of summer is the most favorable for travel. Be sure to go to Germany and drink real beer there, and when you visit France, you can take a photo with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Of course, there are those who like to visit the most unusual tours. Such people should go to Chile, Cuba or Peru. The beaches of Rio de Janeiro are simply magnificent, so lovers of sea recreation should definitely come here. It is unlikely that you will find anywhere the same coral reefs, enchanting the look, as in Peru. As for beach holidays in countries such as Spain and Italy, it is better to go here in August, since this is the most favorable time for taking sand, mud and sun baths. Exotics should not be ruled out, since at the end of summer there are very advantageous offers for trips to Iceland, Norway, etc. Here you can enjoy natural wonders such as waterfalls, volcanoes, glaciers and fjords. It is also recommended to visit Argentina, Venezuela, Ecuador and Chile. In these countries, excursions to the cities of ancient civilizations, for example, the Maya or the Incas, are actively conducted. Now you see that it is impossible to say unequivocally where it is better to rest in August. Much depends on what you like best: sea, exotic, history and architecture, educational excursions or extreme. In many cases, you can combine several types of recreation.

How to organize a family trip

It is rather difficult to decide where it is better to have a rest in August with your relatives. The fact is that there are many nuances here. If you are going on a seaside vacation with children, then it is desirable that the coast is shallow, with well-heated water and clean sand. This will not only give a lot of emotions to the child, but also protect him from abrasions, bumps and dangerous bathing. Of course, we must not forget that the attention of the parents is the most important point. If you are looking for a good beach resort for your child, then the sandy ones or Spain are recommended. Here you can not only enjoy the crystal clear sea waters, but also find a lot of entertainment, as well as attractions that are located on the coastal line.

For travelers, a tour of the Loire castles, which are located in France, is suitable. At the same time, you can see other sights of this country. In the fears of Scandinavia, in particular in the northern part, there is also something to see. There are entertainment programs, and many informative and simply interesting excursions. If parents cannot go with their children, then the only right decision is to send their son or daughter to the camp. The choice of countries is quite large: Austria, Germany, Bulgaria, Malta or Great Britain. It is possible that the child himself will want to choose the place where to go.

Conclusion

As you can see, spending time with your family is not a problem at all. You can relax in Greece in August or visit Egypt. By the way, the Egyptians themselves usually do not rest at the end of summer in their country. This is due to the fact that it is very hot here. For example, in Hurghada, the temperature is kept at around 36 degrees, at the same time the water is warmed up to 28 degrees Celsius. Despite the fact that there is no rain at this time and the air is very dry and hot, the heat is tolerated relatively easily, but you should not abuse the sun, as it is very easy to get sunstroke or burn out badly. You can also go on vacation to Cuba. At the end of summer, there are quite a lot of tourists here, and there are also a lot of locals on the beach. Even though it rains quite often in August, about 2 times a week, this does not spoil this resort at all.

Even if it's already the end of August, where to go to rest, you can find without any problems. If you wish, use the offers of tour operators. Although now more and more popular travel "savage". Here you yourself get to the desired country, live in tents, explore the surroundings and just have a good time with loved ones and loved ones.

Europe
Near East
Baltics
Africa
Asia

Where to go in August? To be honest, the best thing is ... nowhere. Rather, to a dacha or a house in nature in central Russia. Mushrooms, berries, pine forest, swimming in freshwater reservoirs - this is much, much better than August in any European country except Scandinavia and the Baltic States.

Where is the warm sea in August

Yes, everywhere there is a warm sea in August, but very few destinations are able to give a warm, and not a hot sea at the end of summer.

For example, the Canary Islands will delight in August with a cool ocean; for a trip you will need a Schengen visa.

In August, Seychelles and Mauritius will be quite comfortable for vacation, no visas are needed to these countries.

In Asia without a visa or with a visa upon arrival, you can relax:
- in the east of Sri Lanka (in the southwest of the island it rains),
- in the west of Malaysia,
- on the island of Bali, Indonesia.

Of the Asian visa destinations, only Singapore is good.

Where it's not hot in August

In August, you can hide from the heat in the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia need a Schengen visa) and in the Kaliningrad region. Swimming in the Baltic is questionable throughout the summer, but the likelihood of a beach holiday is highest in the second half of July - in the first half of August.

Where not to go to rest in August

Greece, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Cyprus and Turkey become too hot in August: the temperature exceeds 35C.

It is also hot on the Black Sea coast (in Russia, Abkhazia, Georgia and Crimea); intestinal infections multiply in the water throughout August.

In Tunisia, Morocco, throughout the Middle East (Emirates, Israel, Jordan, Egypt), the temperature exceeds 40C. This is not just uncomfortable, it is dangerous for an unprepared organism.

In August, the rainy season continues in Goa, throughout Thailand, in the southwest of Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and Chinese Hainan.

In order to have a good rest, enjoy the beauty of nature and the warm sun, it is not at all necessary to go through the exhausting procedure for applying for a visa. There are many options and countries where you can go without presenting this document. In such cases, there are either much more simplified procedures, or there is no need to make additional registration. The question of where to go to rest in August has a fairly simple answer: to almost any corner of the world. The rest will be no less pleasant and eventful than in countries that require a visa. So, where can you go for a beach vacation and have a good rest abroad?

European countries

The absence of the need to apply for a visa for Russians allows you to fly away and relax in comfort. There are many countries in which such a document is not required. In some cases, there are small formalities, and sometimes a visa can be obtained right on the spot, having previously obtained permission. Most often, you can travel without a visa to warm countries, but Europe is also a popular destination.

To visit some countries, a Schengen visa is required. You can also rest comfortably in countries that are not parties to this agreement. Examples of where to go:

  • the period of stay in Serbia is up to 30 days;
  • to visit Macedonia you may need a certified invitation or voucher from a travel company;
  • you can rest in Moldova up to 3 months;
  • you can stay abroad for two months without a visa in Turkey;
  • you can go to Montenegro without a visa for 30 days.

When visiting each country, it is mandatory to present a valid passport. There may also be additional requirements, for example, in order to fly to Bosnia and Herzegovina, you will need a voucher or a confirmed invitation. The identity document must have a sufficient validity period, which ends before the end of the time of stay in the country.

Some countries provide slightly different conditions for entry and recreation. To visit Cyprus, a visa is required for Russians, and its absence is possible only when flying in such a way that the planes land in Larnaca or Paphos. You can also fly to Cyprus by ordering a visa in advance online. Visiting Latvia for up to 90 days without a visa is possible for residents of such regions of Russia as Pechera, Krasnogorodsk, Pytalovo, as well as the Pskov region. Staying for two weeks without a visa is possible in Norway and Poland. In this case, it is possible for Russians who live no further than 35 km from the border. When visiting these countries, you can freely visit only the border region of San Varanger.

When planning to travel to European countries without a visa, you need to know where you can go and what are the peculiarities of visiting a particular country for Russians. Thus, you can make your vacation interesting, comfortable and enjoyable.


It is important to remember that in some cases, in addition to your passport, you must present a ticket for the return trip to your homeland.
