9 best places for a beach holiday with the motto "took it and flew away"

Turkey

In one trip to Turkey, you can visit Europe and Asia, swim in four seas, find yourself in the Land of beautiful horses, find a real treasure in the oriental bazaar and lose the feeling of time and space on the travertine terraces of Pamukkale.

There are more than enough amazing beaches in Turkey: meet the top seven according to a local resident or make your own top. The gentle waves and golden sands are accompanied by vibrant summer entertainment. Just do not forget that the sea in the north warms up later, so on black sea coast Turkey is more often visited by connoisseurs of ancient ruins, rather than beaches. The Sea of ​​Marmara is more conducive to an active (or vice versa - whatever you like!) Beach vacation, but the water before the beginning of June is still too invigorating. The generally recognized "sun bath" in Turkey is, of course, the Mediterranean beaches in the south. Here, the infrastructure of an eternal summer is thought out to the smallest detail, and everyone will find a place to their liking - someone in a sun lounger, someone on the crest of a wave. Ideal coastline for beginner divers Aegean, extreme lovers will experience rafting on mountain rivers, and romantics - a trip on a yacht, which at night can turn into a foamy party right on the deck. But there are also water parks that easily blur the line between children and adults! Among the champions in splashing emotions are Dedeman in Bodrum, Aqua Fantasy in Izmir and Water Planet in Alanya. And when you get tired of unrestrained fun, welcome to the hammam - for peace and renewal.

What about the visa? The Turkish Republic is hospitable to the residents of Russia: you can rest in the country without a visa and fees for up to 60 days, and to stay for another 3 months, it is enough to pay 149 Turkish liras.

South Korea

Still, you want to relax "not like everyone else"? Then head for South Korea, flanked on three sides by the beaches of the Yellow, Japan and East China Seas.

Seoul residents love to sunbathe on east coast countries, especially since a beach holiday here is so easy to combine with health care and cultural experiences. Sokcho City, for example, is famous for the Chhoksan Hot Spring Resort, the Seoraksan Mountain Nature Park, and the 8th century Hyangsonsaji Pagoda and Buddhist monastery Sinheungsa of the 18th century. People go to another popular South Korean resort - Gangneung - not only for a golden tan, but also to admire the bizarre Muryn Gorge and Guryeong Falls, which seem to have stepped out of a classic Chinese miniature.

Peak solar activity in South Korea observed on the mandarin island of Jeju and on the "cow island" Udo, 3.5 km to the east (Koreans see a cow lying on the map to rest, hence the name). All imaginable beach activities are included, but crowds of tourists are right there. If this is a fat minus for you, take a look at the white beaches of the Yellow Sea in the southwest of the country. The official tourist website of the country (in Russian) will help you navigate the main resorts of South Korea.

What about the visa? You can enjoy a beach holiday in South Korea for at least 60 days in a row - and no visa is required! But what you need is a valid passport and ease of movement.

Maldives

What unites Anastasia Volochkova, David Beckham, divers and newlyweds? Of course, love for the Maldives. Anomalous activity has been detected at this year-round resort: it changes life at once!

It's equally great to explore in the Maldives underwater world scuba diving and admire the shades of the sky with an exotic cocktail. Here, to this day, you can find a secluded beach and untouched nature, despite the abundance of luxury hotels, romantic villas, pretentious restaurants and spas. In fact, there are so many hotels on the islands that some did not even have enough space on the shore.

The closest beaches to the airport are the beaches of North Male Atoll, Ari Atoll is famous for calm sea, convenient access to coral reefs and proximity to marine reserves. 130 km south of Male, on the white sands and clear waters of Miimu Atoll, gigantic sea ​​turtles, but on the most southern islands Maldives - Addu Atoll - you can get a certificate of crossing the equator in between times.

What about the visa? The gates of paradise open easily: a free visa to the Maldives for 30 days is issued to Russians right at the Male airport.

Cyprus

Lying by the pool, knowing that there are ruins with a thousand-year history just a stone's throw away, is impossible / doubly pleasant (emphasize the necessary). Aphrodite herself must have endowed this island with the ability to fall in love with herself.

Reinterpreting the saying, about Cyprus we can say: how many people, so many beaches. For example, Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa was created for youth parties and resort acquaintances, and on the beach of Fig Tree Bay in Ayia Napa, it is ideal to relax with children. The quiet picturesque village of Protaras is also famous for its wonderful conditions for family vacation, and there is also an elite Sunrise with luxury hotels and Konnos Bay, which will appeal to connoisseurs of secluded relaxation. Do not forget about the obligatory point of the program - to drop a couple of years by swimming in the bay of Aphrodite between Limassol and Paphos. By the way, they say that lovers who swim together around the rocks of the goddess of love will never part.

If you manage to tear yourself off from a sun lounger, it is worth tickling your nerves on the uncompromising Water World rides or diving towards a sunken ship. And to wash down the impressions is best of all with the royal wine of Commandaria!

What about the visa? It takes just one day to obtain a single entry electronic pro-visa to Cyprus. With it, you can sunbathe under the hot Cypriot sun for up to 90 days in a row. If you are going to enter Cyprus several times within six months, it is also easy to apply for a multiple-entry visa at the consulate.

Montenegrin Oya

On the coast of Montenegro, in addition to the warm from June to October, clean sea, you will find medieval fortresses, Venetian palaces, Christian monasteries and Turkish aqueducts. Near the town of Herceg Novi, in the resort of Igalo, you can pamper yourself with spa treatments with therapeutic mud. At least a couple of days should be devoted to the continental part of Montenegro: breathe in the aromas of a pine forest in a stunning national park Durmitor with crystal lakes and the gorge of the Tara river or get out to Skadar lake, along the banks of which are scattered ancient fortresses and monasteries.

Diving, rafting, trekking - whatever attracts you during your summer holidays, the Montenegrin resorts of the Bay of Kotor and the Adriatic are at your service. Choose the beach to your liking - and go ahead, relax alone with nature!

What about the visa? If you are traveling to Montenegro for less than a month, you will not need a visa.

Abkhazia

Down with language barriers! You can safely travel to hospitable and in every sense warm Abkhazia with children without knowing foreign languages ​​and even without a passport. The only but: make sure that you do not accidentally end up on the territory of Georgia.

However, you are unlikely to want to leave Abkhazia at all: the pebble beaches of Gagra, Pitsunda and Gudauta are clean, serene and uncrowded, time has no power over the beauty of Lake Ritsa, the number of balneological resorts is only growing, and salmon with trout and horse mackerel with sturgeon in local rivers and Black the sea is not translated.

The thirst of hunters for cultural impressions will be quenched by New Athos with the famous monastery and Sukhumi with the Bagrat castle, the Kelasur wall and the old botanical garden... And there will definitely be no problems with appetizing the appetite in the regions where mamalyga, mint cheese ashvchapan and adjika were invented. And you know what, one word in the Abkhaz language is still worth learning: tell the locals “itabup” - “thank you” - they will be pleased!

What about the visa? To enter Abkhazia, Russians do not need either a visa or an international passport (ordinary enough). Fly to Adler, from where it is only 10 km along the Psou River to the Abkhaz border. At the border control, you will need to issue a compulsory accident insurance in the amount of 30,000 rubles. Insurance premium upon entry for 1 day - 15 rubles, and if you stay longer, 10 rubles for each day of stay in Abkhazia. Read more about the beauties and beaches on the official tourist website of Abkhazia.

Sea adventures in Israel can be started already in reckless and partying Tel Aviv. On the local Mediterranean coast, all the conditions for a sports holiday have been created: on the Gordon beach opposite of Sheraton you can play tennis and volleyball, and Hilton Beach is popular with surfers. Life is in full swing on the port beach of Hof Ha-Metzitzim, about which even a movie was filmed: here you have a colorful market, trendy bars and designer boutiques - all within walking distance of a beach umbrella. Alma in the south, next to ancient Jaffa, and Banana Beach, where the locals love to relax with the whole family, are considered the calmest beaches of Tel Aviv, but they never get cramped.

The Red Sea is warmer than the Mediterranean, so the real resort splendor of Israel is revealed in Eilat. The local gem is the coral beach of Hof Almog. In its southern part, closer to the Egyptian Taba, kitesurfers catch the wind, and the north of the beach is created for diving, which you will tell your grandchildren about.

Just make sure that your passport is valid for 6 months from the date of arrival, and prepare documents that may be useful at the border.

Morocco

So far, the Russians have tasted only two Moroccan resorts - Agadir and Essaouira, both on the shores of the Atlantic. If you are not too lazy to drive 160 km to the south, you will take such a selfie against the background of the red rocks of Legzira that you have never had so many "likes". And if for the sake of a rare experience you are ready for more, go to Dakhla. The water in the ocean is +25 ° C all year round, and instead of crowds of tourists there are rare monk seals and a flock of surfers who compare Phum Labuir Beach with Hawaii. Here you can go fishing or rent an SUV and delve deeper into Western Sahara to master the life of real nomads - such a vacation will not be forgotten! And to save on vacation, take a closer look at recently open resorts north of Agadir - Tagazut, Mazagan and Lixus.

There are also secluded beaches on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco. Take a closer look at the picturesque carved strip between Tangier and El Hoceima: the sea here is gentle, and many beaches, along with quiet fishing villages, are buried in paradise green. If you prefer an all inclusive vacation, you will love new resort Tamuda Bay in the vicinity of Tetuan and Saidia in Berkan near the border with Algeria. Opposite Spanish Andalusia, by the way, there is a huge tourist complex Mediterrania-Saidia with a yacht club and a golf course.

In addition to a beach holiday, it is worth visiting the capital of Morocco, Rabat (the minimum program is the Royal Palace and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V), Marrakesh (which will conquer you - Old city"Medina" or the new area of ​​Ville Nouvelle?), Casablanca (maybe you will hear echoes of cinema passions) and Fez (especially good for leisurely strolls through the gardens and a cup of mint tea in a cute cafe). We also advise you to wander through the blue labyrinths of mountain Chefchauen, which entered the top of the brightest cities in the world according to Skyscanner. A bonus for fans of "Game of Thrones" and other masterpieces of the film epic: some scenes with the Mother of Dragons were filmed in the medieval ksar Ait-Ben-Haddou.

What about the visa? Russian citizens can rest in Morocco for up to 90 days in a row without a visa, but the passport must be valid until the end of the trip. On the plane, you will need to fill out a migration card.

Madagascar

“Well, I asked, do not bother me when I dream. If I'm all in the astral plane, don't go! " - said striped Marty to his friend the lion Alex. Make sure that the cartoon island of Madagascar really exists, and no one will forbid you to fulfill your dreams here.

You will be accompanied by motley lemurs, variegated geckos, beak-breasted turtles, panther chameleons, pharaoh mice and - now attention! - aye-aye hands. If you think that these are all the surprises of nature that await you in Madagascar, then it was not. The landscapes on the reserve island replace each other, like in a kaleidoscope: you have just walked among the baobabs, when suddenly you found yourself at a rice field or a dormant volcano. On one side, a sun-dried valley, a turn of the head - and in front of you are evergreen mangroves. Here is the stone forest of Tsinzhi de Bemarach, here are the graceful orchids of the Montagne D'Amber park, and here is a fabulous azure coast with white sand.

The west and north of Madagascar are perfect for a beach holiday in summer: precipitation is rare here, the water off the coast of Morundava is never cooler than +25 ºС, and on the island of Nosy Be there is always saturated humid air, warmed up to a comfortable + 26-28 ºС. If humidity is hard to bear, head to the resorts of the Anacao Peninsula in the southwest: the climate here is semi-desert with a fresh breeze. On the famous island Saint Mary (Nosy-Buraha, aka Il-Sainte-Marie) sunny weather most often it keeps from late August to December (in July-September you can also watch whales). If you go south along east coast, to the coral beach of Fulpoint (Mahavelona), keep in mind that it is safe to swim only in the hotel area: real sharks are in charge of the reefs. Prices, it should be noted, also bite, especially in the south of the city - do not hesitate to bargain.

What about the visa? A visa for 30 days is issued on arrival and does not cost a dime. If you want to spend up to 90 days on the island, a single-entry or multiple-entry visa will be issued to you at the Madagascar Embassy in Moscow for 77 €. published by

9 Thailand

Thailand, contrary to popular belief, is suitable for recreation not only for adults, but also for children. Not Bangkok, of course, and hardly Pattaya ... But on most islands in Thailand, excellent beaches, warm clean sea and low prices... We recommend Krabi, Ao Nang, Phuket, Ko Chang, Samet, Phangan and other islands ... But Koh Samui is best for families with children! On Koh Samui, the rainy season is minimal, and more recently, direct charter flights have begun to fly to Koh Samui from Russia.

It is very good and popular in Thailand to winter lately, and children can completely replace winter with 2-3 months of summer ... Our winter in Thailand just coincides with a hot beach season without rain (from November to March). However, with short trips, such a sharp change in climate is not always good for the baby. So, the best time for a trip with a child to almost all resorts in Thailand: March and April. An exception: Koh Samui! You can go to Koh Samui from April to September! At this time, the average air temperature day / night: + 31 / + 23, water: +28, and precipitation is minimal. May to October is the so-called rainy season on most of the islands. And on Koh Samui, the rainy season is only in October and November.

Nuances. When traveling with a child to Thailand, take into account the length of the road and the remoteness of the islands from the main airport of Bangkok, as well as the differences in the rainy seasons of different regions of Thailand.

How to get there. A direct flight to Thailand takes about 10 hours.

The best time to travel with a child to the Maldives: March and April. In this season, the average day / night air temperature: + 31 / + 26, water: +29, and precipitation is minimal. May to November is the so-called rainy season.

Nuances. On different Maldives or even on different sides of the same island, the state of the sea and the beach can be dramatically different! Depending on currents and winds, the beach and coastal waters can be very littered with algae, twigs, leaves ... seabed there may be stones and corals instead of white sand ... Study all these questions when choosing a hotel!
Please note that most Maldives only one hotel is located. Accordingly, you will have an assortment and price monopoly within one island. For example, a can of beer can cost you $ 7 with no choice at all.
Do not be very afraid of tropical showers during the rainy season: they are rare, short-lived and usually go at night ... All year round, the air and water temperature in the Maldives is practically unchanged. Accordingly, the recommendations for the season for visiting are rather arbitrary ...

How to get there. A direct flight to the Maldives takes about 9 hours.
