  Useful information about Thailand.

Rest abroad at all times was considered the most expensive pleasure. But recently, tourists can go on vacation abroad freely and the cost of such a vacation will be quite acceptable. Let's take a look at the cheapest holidays abroad in 2019.

In this article we will try to provide you with a description of the most popular destinations among Russian tourists. Also, many may be interested in reading the information from the article: where to relax without a visa abroad in 2019.

Most popular countries

In Turkey any Russian feels at home and therefore many residents of our country prefer to rest in this country. Turkey is mainly a beach holiday with children on the Black Sea or the Mediterranean. You can also do inexpensive shopping here and naturally visit various attractions. Also, one should not forget about entertainment, which in Turkey is just a huge amount, and therefore every day tourists are waiting for a lot of nightclubs, discos, restaurants and bars.

Holiday prices here fluctuate depending on the time of year, season and part of the country. So, for example, a tour to Antalya will cost about $ 200, to Istanbul - about $ 350, and to Kemer - $ 250. On average, a two-week tour for two can be bought for 1000-1500 dollars, and if you are lucky enough to buy a last-minute tour or go to Turkey in the fall, you can save up to 50% of their cost. Russian tourists prefer Turkey for a good all-inclusive holiday, excellent climate, clear sea and numerous excursions.

Unfortunately, today Turkey closed for travel companies and many are tormented by the question of when Turkey will be opened. But you can go on holiday on your own.

Holidays in Egypt on the sea is the most traditional among the inhabitants of Russia, since this direction has long been "travelled" by Russian tourists. Here you can enjoy excellent service in hotels, a warm climate, a huge amount of entertainment for only $ 250 for 7-8 days of excellent rest.

Warm Red Sea, gentle sun, All inclusive and, of course, the ancient pyramids- this is what many tourists come to this city every year for. beautiful country with its ancient history and unique monuments of culture and architecture: the Pyramids, the eternal Sphinx and Luxor, which are visited by tourists, all this is worth it to go to this country on vacation. But this route is closed, although there is information that flights will resume soon.

And, of course, the question will be logical: which is better, Turkey or Egypt in terms of service, comfort, food?

Thailand no less popular than Turkey or Egypt, but in this country the high season begins in mid-autumn and ends in early winter. Therefore, if you want to purchase the most cheap tour, then it is best to count on the month of April or May.

A ticket for a ten-day vacation will cost about 700-800 dollars. The cheapest seaside vacation in 2019 will indeed be in Thailand, since in almost any region of the country you can have a great vacation for $15–25 per day. If you decide to go on your own, then on average you will need about $ 400 per month for accommodation with the condition of staying in a hotel in the center of Pattaya. But you can find a vacation and cheaper. On the island of Phuket, Chang, Koh Samui, Phi Phi, you can find a hotel room for $150-200 per month. And if one room is enough for you, then you can rent it for 80-90 dollars.

Thailand has very cheap food, so you only need $100 a month for food. For $2 you can have a great lunch in any cafe, and $6 is enough for dinner in a good restaurant. And if you want to fill your suitcase with inexpensive things, then $ 100 will also be enough for you, without even haggling.

The cheapest seaside vacation

Vietnam- this is an incredibly beautiful place where you can find many corners of nature untouched by man. And even despite the ever-increasing popularity of this country, rest in it remains quite acceptable. So, for example, 10 dollars a day is enough for one person to stay at a hotel, food, excursion programs and massage. And if you're willing to spend $20 a day, you'll be able to indulge in nothing. Therefore, 400-500 dollars for an excellent 30-day vacation will be quite enough. But this is not counting the flight, since plane tickets are not included in this price (a direct flight will cost a little more than with transfers).

Goa (India) is another popular tourist destination, since with 100 dollars in your pocket (6000 rupees) you can have a great rest and not deny yourself anything, especially when it comes to northern Goa.

The cost of a holiday in Goa for a European person is quite low, especially far from big cities and metropolitan areas. The most expensive vacation in Goa is in the winter, since the high season begins at this time, but if you buy a ticket in the off-season, then a tour with air travel at the time of price reduction starts from $ 400. But if you decide to go on your own and live in an inexpensive guesthouse, as many young people do, you can save about 20-30% of your money. Goa is very popular among Russians due to its favorable tropical climate and recreation at almost any time of the year.

Abkhazia is located near Russia and therefore many people prefer to go to this country on vacation, as for many it will be the most budget option to have a great time on the Black Sea. I would also like to note that the Russians do not need visas and passports to go on vacation to Abkhazia and the road will take a little time.

If you do not have a large amount of money, then you can choose a vacation in the private sector, where prices for budget housing do not exceed 300–350 rubles per person per day. If you want more comfortable apartments in the private sector, you will have to pay a larger amount - about 500 rubles. Meals per day in Abkhazia will also cost you from 500 rubles per day. Thus, it can be calculated that a seven-day vacation in this country without travel will cost about 5,600 to 10,000 rubles per person.

Holidays in boarding houses and hotels in 2019 will cost much more. So, for example, a double room in a boarding house or sanatorium will cost from 1600 to 8000 rubles per day. Thus, if you are counting on inexpensive vacation in Abkhazia, then you will need an amount of 22,000 rubles for two. For 30,000 rubles for two, you can also see all the sights of this beautiful country.

Many Russians, we are sure, will be curious about the answer to the following question: Where is it better to relax - in Sochi, Crimea or Abkhazia?

But the cheapest vacation abroad at sea awaits you in Bali and Cambodia. These countries offer the cheapest accommodation and food for tourists. In Bali, you can find excellent housing for $100 a month and the same amount of food for 30 days. The only negative is a very expensive flight - about 1000 dollars!

Cambodia and Bali are not very famous countries for tourist holiday, and therefore the question will be logical: Where is Bali and Cambodia?

And in Cambodia, you can find a room for $1.5 a night, and buying delicious and cheap food, you will feel guilty that you are paying people so little. A visit to one of the world's most famous monuments of the Kingdom of Cambodia - Angkor Wat will cost you only $ 5.

Exquisite relaxation

Sri Lanka or Ceylon has recently begun to enjoy great popularity among Russian tourists, as many want to relax in exotic places where beautiful nature reigns and there are many secluded beautiful places and unique cultural and historical attractions.

And it is in Sri Lanka that you can have a great rest in an inexpensive beach hotel for 10-15 dollars a day. And here you can practice a wide variety of sports: diving, surfing, fishing, kitering, rafting, etc. But plane tickets here are not cheap, so it's best to buy tickets for charter flights or connecting flights. Thus, for a monthly vacation, you will need about 400-500 dollars.

Greece is a country of ancient gods, the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, as well as beautiful scenic spots where you can relax with children at the most reasonable prices. Halkidiki is the pearl of the Aegean Sea, Crete is the island of the legendary Minotaur, Athens is the capital of the country, Rhodes, Peloponnese, Attica, Paros, Corfu and many other islands and resorts in Greece attract many tourists from Russia. And they are all great for family vacation. On average, a vacation in Greece will cost you $250-350 for 7 days. This country is currently one of the most low-cost countries, where a Schengen visa is required, who want to fully enjoy the beach and sightseeing vacation on the sea.

Cyprus can not be called very cheap for recreation, but it is very popular among Russians. A ticket to Cyprus from Moscow will cost about $ 200 per person, but if you get on the action of some airline, you can save from 30 to 50%. But living on the island is quite expensive. The cheapest room in Paphos will cost $30-35, but you can rent a room for $25-28 per night. Food in cafes and restaurants is also not cheap, so it is best to buy food in supermarkets, where there are various promotions and discounts.

If you choose where to relax, between the last two countries, we recommend that you read the differences between them: Which is better to choose - Greece or Cyprus, for example, for a beach holiday?

Europe - vacation spot

Portugal is a member of the Eurozone and therefore cannot boast of the same low prices as Asian countries. But rest here is completely different. It is necessary to go to this beautiful country, which is located in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, only to enjoy the taste of excellent seafood, Portuguese cherry liqueur - jinjinha, port wine, and also visit all the architectural monuments of the country's Iberian culture, one of which is the famous Belen tower - fort on the river Tijos in the region of the same name in Lisbon.

Accommodation in Portugal in an inexpensive provincial hostel will cost from 18 to 33 dollars per day. A room in a three-star hotel will cost from 30 to 80 dollars a day. And accommodation in a boarding house in Lisbon is from 13 to 28 dollars. Lunch in an inexpensive cafe will cost from 6.5 to 13.5 dollars, and one dish in an expensive restaurant will cost from 6 to 24 dollars. Approximately per day for one person you will need about $50, so the total cost of the trip will vary from $600 to $1000.

Evpatoria began its resort career with a focus on children a long time ago, so today you can find a lot of entertainment for kids of all ages here! A huge dolphinarium and an amusement park with a tropical zoo, an original aquarium and water park, as well as a children's fairy-tale theater and an entertainment dino complex! It remains only to add a calm warm sea and comfortable gently sloping beaches with pleasant soft sand, as if specially created for kids.

And when it's time to relax in the summer at sea, Sochi turns into main city countries. Tourists are attracted by about a hundred local beaches, which, by the way, are mostly pebbly, but the water here is even cleaner than on the sandy coast.

Compose full list“must visit” in Sochi and the surrounding area will help our material about.

Anapa

No matter what the ill-wishers say, Anapa has been and remains one of the most developed resorts in the country, which boasts the best beaches throughout the northern Black Sea region! People also come here to improve their health or just enjoy the spa in local water and mud baths. And how colorful the rest is, thanks to the mixture of Caucasian and Kuban traditions, cultures and, of course, cuisines! Do not forget to taste juicy shish kebab, different types of fish and seafood, order baklava or churchkhela for dessert, and “fill in” the whole belly feast with traditional Kuban wines.

Gelendzhik

Even if you do not have a "wonderful man", this is not a reason to refuse a trip to Gelendzhik! Maybe that's where you can find it? Who knows ... But you will definitely find a whole assortment of beaches, from well-maintained sandy and pebbly ones to completely wild rocky ones. However, Gelendzhik is not only a seaside, but also a sanatorium resort, where mineral water and healing mud. In between rest and procedures, it is pleasant to walk along the picturesque city embankment, enjoy communication with animals in the safari park, go to air travel on cable car and visit one of the largest water parks in the country.

Jurmala

The Riga seaside is a tempting option for those who do not know where to go on vacation in the summer so that it is not too hot. The once bohemian resort is now more accessible to "mere mortals", but it still has charm and nobility! After enjoying the endless beaches with fine sand, go on a date with the capital city of Riga. Learn the history and architecture of the city, wandering along the cobblestone pavement or enjoying the gorgeous panorama from the bell tower of the Dome Cathedral. And closer to the night, go on a "spree" in numerous bars and nightclubs, where the best European and local DJs perform. Most importantly, do not forget to apply for a visa in advance to visit Latvia!

Here, the mild climate is combined with the gentle shallow sea, the beautiful sandy beach stretches for many kilometers, and its frame is a huge green park, a favorite place for residents and guests of the city.

Even more interesting things will be found in the vicinity of the city - the traditional Bulgarian village of Bata, the water park in Pomorie and the zoological park in Aytos. By the way, to visit Bulgaria you need to apply for an appropriate visa.

Antalya

What association do you have with the words "rest on the beach"? We bet that one of them is Antalya, the most popular destination where to go to the sea in summer without a visa! The main thing is not limited to all inclusive! Explore the city itself, because its history did not begin with the construction of hotels, but much earlier - more than 2000 years ago. Arrange shopping at colorful bazaars, craft shops and shopping centers. And for relaxation, go to the countless beaches of Antalya: party and youth, where life does not stop for a minute, or quiet and secluded, which are more suitable for families with children.

Malaga

Andalusia is a real mixture of cultures, styles and eras, so people go to Malaga not only for resort vacation, it’s hard to sit still here ... or rather “lie down”! When an ancient city with an Arab fortress, an ancient Roman theater and Art Nouveau and Baroque buildings is located nearby, there is no time for a beautiful tan! And if you remember such pearls as Granada and Seville, your feet will carry you to the station. And yet the beaches of Malaga are worthy of at least a week of your vacation. It is always clean, comfortable and fun here, and the sea is ideal for lovers of swimming at a depth that starts almost from the shore. The only inconvenience is the need for a visa.

Alicante

It’s always good at this resort, but especially here you can have a beach holiday in July, when the sea has finally warmed up, and in the evenings you don’t need to take a jacket with you. Alicante is a universal place where all tourists will feel good: adults and children, young and old. Endless sandy beaches resort with all the necessary infrastructure are interspersed with secluded picturesque bays with a more rocky entrance to the sea.

Sicily

A beach holiday in June sometimes scares us with the cold sea and unstable weather, but this is definitely not about Sicily! The sunny Italian island opens the swimming season one of the first in Europe. There are a lot of resorts here and they are all different - popular and secluded, with long beaches and cozy bays, with pebbles and sand, and the latter also differs in color - from snow-white and golden to black volcanic. However, throughout the island, you will invariably meet the hospitality of the locals, a lot of antiquities and beauties, excellent cuisine and ... a romantic halo from stories about the mafia! But in order to see all this, it is important not to forget to apply for the appropriate visa.

This is the most democratic resort in the country, which also offers an excellent beach holiday with children. sandy coast here it stretches both in length and in width, so there is enough space for everyone, and the gentle entrance to the water is perfect for kids.

And for adults, the resort has prepared the famous Italian shopping, a lot of excursions to antiquities and, of course, a whole list of gastronomic pleasures! Remember that you need a visa to travel to Italy.

Heraklion – Crete

A beach holiday in Europe is not a cheap pleasure, but Crete is trying to break this stereotype and, I must say, quite successfully! On the largest Greek island you can find accommodation for almost any budget, from inexpensive guesthouses to luxurious 5-star hotels. But the sea, sun and many beaches here are free for all tourists. Crete (after all, Greece) has everything: calm family resorts and cheerful youth parties, ancient sights and natural beauties, good diving, more better shopping, and what kind of cuisine is here ...! In a word, come and see everything yourself, try it, most importantly, do not forget to apply for a visa!

Rhodes

You shouldn't think that small island is not able to offer its tourists a large palette of resort entertainment! Fans of antiquities will plunge into the color of ancient cities, see monasteries and ancient ruins. Fans of natural attractions can expect Butterfly Valley and Seven Springs. Wind and kite surfers will definitely appreciate the efforts of the Rhodes winds in the west of the island. And if you prefer calm seas, head to the east coast. It is also worth coming here with children, for whom all conditions are created on the island: family hotels and a huge water park, attractions and an ostrich farm. So get your visa as soon as possible and come to Rhodes!

Budva

If you are wondering where to go to the sea in the summer without a visa, then go to the main resort of Montenegro. Here you can find everything you want! Vibrant nightlife and sporty daytime, bustling Old city and secluded monasteries, long sandy beaches and pretty pebble bays, emerald hills and sheer cliffs that go into the depths of the sea. For children, there is also a lot of entertainment here - a mini-zoo, a water park, rides, trampolines on the beaches and many playgrounds in the city.

Larnaca

There are many resorts in Cyprus, but it is Larnaca that combines two qualities - budget and beach holidays with children. There are inexpensive cozy guesthouses and apartments here, and the shallow sea with a smooth sandy bottom is ideal for those who are just learning to swim. In addition, an amusement park and a camel farm are located in the Larnaca area. Adult tourists will also have no time to be bored: their entertainment program will include trips to the capital of the island and climbing to the mountain monasteries, and closer to the night it is worth going to neighboring Ayia Napa for an “excursion” to local bars and nightclubs. By the way, the simplified visa regime with Cyprus will help to save even more on the trip.

Pathos

Let the name of this resort not bother you, rest here can be called democratic, as well as throughout Cyprus. However, unlike the typical beach spots, people come to Paphos not only for the sake of the sea, but with a thirst to touch ancient history islands. Unique mosaics, royal tombs, ancient theater are just some of its witnesses. local beaches mostly covered with pebbles, so the water here is clean and transparent: it is not surprising that in the midst of such beauty, Aphrodite decided to go ashore from the sea foam, and then arranged dates with Dionysus here! Come to Paphos and you, especially since a simplified visa regime has been created for this.

Nice

Sophisticated, luxurious and expensive - these are the epithets used for the resort on Cote d'Azur. In Nice, you can arrange your best beach holiday in July, when the sea is already warm enough for swimming. During the same period, the city is enveloped in an amazing musical atmosphere of the Jazz Festival. Add a pinch of history here by strolling through the old quarters with colorful houses and pretty churches. A bit of chic in the form of a promenade along the embankment, surrounded by pompous buildings and no less pompous people. And it will turn out exactly what in France is called a truly aristocratic vacation! Oh yes, we almost forgot: you will need a visa to travel.

By the way, holidays on the Cote d'Azur can be combined with!

Malta

Malta is the case when a beach holiday in the summer goes as a dessert, and the main course is still an excursion. In addition, the island successfully teaches English language, so the ideal Maltese vacation is calculated using the formula study + sea ​​vacation+ sightseeing. Despite the size of the archipelago, you will hardly have enough time for the last term. Pretty Italian-style towns give way to delicious fishing villages with Arabic names, and high cliffs that break into the sea are adjacent to the Blue Lagoon of an unreal aquamarine color. There is also a cartoon village, a lot of dive sites and still a couple of great beaches! And to see all this, you definitely need to apply for the appropriate visa.

Agadir

Would you like to spice up your beach holiday in August with oriental spices? If your answer is yes, then fly to Agadir! This month is the warmest here, although the ocean water is still invigorating. And if that stops anyone, it certainly isn't surfers. However, athletes are not the only tourists in these parts. It is good to indulge in a lazy rest on giant sandy beaches, explore the surroundings during horse rides and hone your bargaining skills in the oriental bazaars. In addition, Agadir is an excellent starting point for traveling to the south of Morocco. And it’s also very convenient that you don’t need a visa to travel here.

Tel Aviv

Israel is a great option for a beach holiday in June, for which, moreover, a visa is not needed! In order not to be limited to sweet idleness, we recommend that you stay in Tel Aviv. Despite the urban format, the local beach has such parameters that many Mediterranean resorts will envy it! And outside of the sun lounger and umbrella you will find a lot of exciting activities. Walk through the labyrinthine streets of old Jaffa, tasting and gastro-shopping at the bustling Carmel market, meeting four-legged Israelis at the safari park and going crazy night life cities. In addition, the size of the country itself seems to scream: do not limit yourself to a beach holiday and go travelling! And ours will help you with this.

For several years we have visited many countries and cities of Europe and are not going to stop there!

1. Prague, Czech Republic)

Visited here for the first time new year holidays in 2015. Revisited in summer 2016 and spring 2018.

The main advantages of Prague are, firstly, accessibility (from Moscow and St. Petersburg there are daily flights for 6-7 thousand rubles) and budget (prices correspond to Russian ones, and for some cost categories even lower). Secondly, in addition to the huge number of sights of Prague itself, there are also many interesting things in its environs and neighboring cities.

We discovered this country for ourselves in May 2014, when it was just gaining popularity among our compatriots. Since then, it has been repeatedly visited, both in the height of summer and in the Velvet season. The last visit was in July 2017. We traveled the entire coast of the country, from Herceg Novi to Ulcinj, in different companies (with friends or with children) and, without undue modesty, we can assure you that we have penetrated almost all aspects of recreation here :)

After Amsterdam, Paris was waiting for us, which left us with rather contradictory impressions. At the moment, work is underway on a guide to the capital of France, information will be replenished gradually.

11. Helsinki (Finland)

Being advocates of reasonable consumption, we often try to rationally allocate the budget for our travels, which is why we have repeatedly used Helsinki Airport as a starting point. During all this time we managed to get to know this city quite closely and we are ready to give some useful tips.

Council Traveled-Know.

By the way, holidays with children in Russia at sea will be more comfortable if you choose hotels, boarding houses and sanatoriums according to the “ all inclusive”- see such options in - more expensive, but more convenient.

Interested in calm holidays with young children? Choose .

With older children it will be interesting not only to swim, but also to go beautiful places, go on excursions - choose an inexpensive or more comfortable resort city.

Where there are fewer tourists to relax and swim

For a relaxing holiday, you need to go by car on your own - not necessarily on your own, now it’s easy to rent a car right upon arrival at the airport (use it). As a rule, in such places there are few cafes and shops nearby. But if you choose the right hotel, then everything will be right there: beach accessories, delicious food, wine… Calm beaches and the cleanest sea is easy to find in and in some.

And now our list of the best places to go to the sea in Russia:

1. Rest on the Sea of ​​Azov 2020: Golubitskaya, Kuchugury, etc.

In the photo: rest on the Sea of ​​Azov, Kuchugury, sandy beach.

Many do not even suspect that there are such magnificent places in Russia! Away from the hustle and bustle, where there are not so many tourists yet, the beaches are sandy, the sunsets are amazing, and comfortable housing is located right next to the sea - yes, a vacation on the Sea of ​​​​Azov surprises even seasoned tourists who are used to relaxing only abroad.

How to get to Sea of ​​Azov? By plane - to Anapa airport. Then by taxi, but cheaper: from Vityazevo airport get to the city bus station in Anapa, then by bus to the Fontalovskaya station (this is the sea in Kuchugury).

Private sector and hotels on the Sea of ​​Azov, prices 2020

Rooms in the private sector cost 600-1200 rubles per day for the whole family. There aren't many good places to live, so best options book in advance. However, if cleanliness and convenience are not critical for you on vacation, then you can easily find many options on the spot.

Advice We went-Know
Be carefull! If you want to have a good rest, then plan your holiday in advance! Gone are the days when it was possible to rent a good room in the private sector upon arrival - such accommodation is booked several weeks in advance. And on the spot, now you can only rent “illiquid assets” (), which they cannot sell out in advance and are slipped to slow tourists.

How to rent good housing in the private sector and not fall for scammers

Do not trust ads on forums and social networks! usually show good photos, and upon arrival they say that it is already occupied, and they offer housing much worse - this is the most common type of fraud in the south of Russia. You only need to shoot verified sites with real reviews - the only way you are guaranteed to get what you book.

For example, the private sector in Golubitskaya - the house "Fairy Tale" - is cheap, comfortable, clean, there is a playground in the courtyard:

There are better hotels too. If you are with a car, then choose with private beach and away from the crowds of tourists.

Rest on the Sea of ​​Azov, the beach of the hotel "Villa Grape"

Anton: How many traveled around the Crimea, they thought that everyone had already seen it. But the hotel "Jeval" surprised. At first I thought it was overpriced, but we decided to give it a try.

7. Rest on the sea in Abkhazia - cheap and comfortable!

For those who have read up to this point - we tell about the best place to go in Russia to the sea. Abkhazia is not in the first place on our list only because it is not quite 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 foreign passport is not needed, rubles are in use, the locals speak Russian.

In the photo: seaside vacation in Abkhazia

In Abkhazia, prices are lower, and seaside holidays are more comfortable. There are much more chances to find good beaches and clear sea. In addition, there are fewer tourists on the sea in Abkhazia - 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!

How to get to Abkhazia

From Moscow or St. Petersburg directly to Sukhumi can be inexpensively reached by train. On the road 38 and 45 hours.
Either from another city in Russia by train or plane to Sochi (Adler) airport, and from there trains and buses go to Sukhumi, the journey takes 2-3 hours.

If you are driving on your own or through a checkpoint at the border across the Psou River, just get out and show your passport and documents for the car. Leave - through the same checkpoint. There are no difficulties at the border, a pure formality.

Where to stay

There are not many modern accommodation options in Abkhazia, mainly the “soviet” private sector, which is easy to book upon arrival. However, there are quite good guest houses and even excellent inexpensive hotels, but it is better to book them in advance in order to get a civilized one for the price of a “wild” vacation. It's possible! Here are some options.

For starters, you can stay near the city of Sukhumi and close to the sea - in guest house"Rufina" - cheap, but quite comfortable.

We go further, where there are fewer tourists, and we find the Alamys guest house, ideal in terms of price and quality (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. Clean sea, delicious food. You can admire the sea around the clock from the balcony of the room - you won’t be able to find anything like it on the first line by the sea in Sochi or Lazarevsky.

Sea holidays in Abkhazia - guest house "Alamys"

Beyond the sea in Abkhazia beautiful nature, delicious wine and food. And the prices! Probably such low prices there is nowhere else to go to the seaside in Russia. 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 relax:

In the photo: Napra - a hotel with three meals a day - a pleasant vacation by the sea in Abkhazia

A nice bonus in this hotel is the view of the Black Sea on one side and the 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 don’t have your own car, then contact someone who will help organize everything and take you to the most beautiful places in Abkhazia, and you can arrange a trip directly from Sochi.
