Summer is in full swing, which means that the most interesting time has come, and it's time to go on a trip. In July, you can relax almost anywhere, well, maybe you should exclude a few countries in which the combination of heat and high humidity will not bring pleasure.

The main list of countries and tourist destinations in July is not much different from June, which can be found in the article "".

I do not want to repeat myself and will dwell in more detail only on some areas that, according to experts from the travel industry and analysts of well-known travel sites, have aroused increased interest among Russians this summer.

As always, July is mostly a beach holiday. 38% voted for it (according to VTsIOM data), 25% of Russians want to improve their cultural level, learn new places and sights, 21% want to improve their health in sanatoriums, and 17% want to simply go around the expanses of their homeland and abroad with a backpack.

As for children's recreation: this summer, 12% of the number of parents surveyed plan to send their children to rest in children's camps, 17% to the dacha, 12% to the Black Sea, 2% to hikes, 9% to other places, 7% abroad. But, unfortunately, a lot of children will stay at home - 37%.

Contrary to tradition, when we mainly considered options for holidays abroad, today we will talk about holidays in July with children at Russian beach resorts and, above all, resorts Black Sea coast and Crimea, as well as in other cities of our country.

So, what to choose: the resorts of the Kuban, Crimea or holidays abroad?

Whatever the reasons, the number of Russians wishing to visit Crimea this summer has risen markedly. Attempts to compare Sochi and Crimea in terms of the number of people who want to relax in them and presenting them as two competing tourist destinations are hardly appropriate.

Many Russian resorts Black Sea coast and Sea of ​​Azov with wonderful beaches are attractive for children's recreation. In favor of the Crimea, such arguments are put forward - the sea is cleaner, beautiful nature, historical landmarks and, for now, more low prices.

The advantages of Sochi are a calmer political environment, developed tourism infrastructure, it is easier to get to the resorts, many are attracted by the new Olympic facilities.

If we compare, for example, with the most popular destination summer holiday with children - with Turkey in terms of price-quality ratio, then this comparison is not yet in favor of the Russian resort.

The difficulty lies in the fact that there are still very few package offers in Crimea. And paying separately for accommodation, transfer and flight (even with cheap air transportation, which is not always possible), the cost of the tour is the same as in Turkey, and sometimes more expensive. Unfortunately, most of the cost of the rest is “eaten up” by travel.

But not everything is so gloomy. Experts assure that there is a good tourism potential in Crimea: a unique healing climate, a large number of beaches (560) and their great length (more than 500 kilometers), interesting story peninsula, the absence of problems with paperwork for departure. And over time this resort region will be able to compete with Turkey, Egypt and other foreign resorts.

Where to relax with children in the Crimea?

Much attention is paid to the organization of children's recreation in the Crimean camps this summer. On the website of the Government of the Russian Federation it is reported that in the summer in the Crimea more than 33 thousand children will be able to improve their health and relax at the expense of budgetary funds.

Rest in the best children's camps of the new generation in Crimea, which are part of the network of developing camps Terra Unique: "Mandarin" and "I & Camp" ( resort village Peschanoe, 60 km from Sevastopol and 65 km from Simferopol airport) and Kakadu (Yevpatoria) attract those who like to relax creatively, brightly and comfortably.

The conditions in these modern camps are approximately the same: 5 meals a day, rooms with private facilities, well-appointed good beaches, swimming pool, water slides. The child can be sent on vacation for any number of days that you need. average price per day (food and accommodation) is from 1000 to 3200 rubles.

Estimated prices per shift (17 days) in some popular children's camps (without fare):

• "Mandarin" and "I & Camp" (Peschanoe village) - 36-43 thousand rubles
• "Cartoon" (Peschanoe village) - 28-36 thousand rubles
• Kakadu (the village of Zaozernoye, Evpatoria) - 30-37 thousand rubles
• "Crystal" (Alushta) - 25 thousand rubles
• "Artek" (p. Gurzuf) - 21-48 thousand rubles.

The most expensive tours are in July.

You can have a good rest, traveling with the whole family to the cities of Crimea or sitting by the sea in one of its resorts, some of which are in the top thirty beach spots in Russia. According to the rating of the cost of a summer vacation, conducted by the Travel.ru website, this is Feodosia (known for its wonderful sandy beaches), Evpatoria (a resort for families with children of any age), Sevastopol, Yalta, Sudak and Gurzuf.

"Excursion" in the Crimea is also extremely interesting for both adults and children: the palaces of Livadia and Alupka, Bakhchisaray and Massandra, the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, bird home, monuments of Sevastopol, canyons, bays and waterfalls.

And if we add to this the Yalta water park "Blue Bay" and the zoo "Fairy Tale", in Yevpatoriya - "Dinopark", "Tropic Park", the tram "Milky Sea" (village tram), "House of the Clown", "Dolphinarium", the largest water park in Crimea - "Banana Republic Aquaparkos", in Feodosia - Karadag Dolphinarium, in Sevastopol - water park "Zurbagan", dolphinarium and Sevastopol aquarium, in Kerch - an ostrich farm - your children will be happy with such an abundance of interesting entertainment.

And one more feature of the current summer season, which makes holidays in Crimea profitable, is that tempting special offers have been created for tourists, discounts on air tickets, new interesting tourist routes are being developed, and more and more all-inclusive offers have begun to appear.

The best prices for tours to Crimea

How much does a ticket to Crimea cost?

The main part of tourists (65%) used to come by car or by train. Now, as an alternative, vacationers are offered ferry and air services.

The most convenient and fastest, no doubt, the plane. From June 1 to October 31, 2014 from Russian cities(today there are already 33 of them) flights to Simferopol will be made at a good discount and at a special rate. And right from the airport, comfortable buses will take tourists anywhere: to Sevastopol, Yalta, Evpatoria or Feodosia.

True, it is already impossible to buy a ticket for two, three, four thousand now, because cheap tickets were sold out at the end of May.

The appearance of the Russian low-cost airline has increased the chances of a cheap holiday in Crimea. Naturally, the cheapest tickets (from 999 rubles one way) have long been sold out, and the fewer days remain until the end of the summer season (flights will be operated until September 20), the faster the number of tickets with good fares decreases.

Ferries (departure around the clock with an interval of 30 minutes from the port "Caucasus" to the port "Crimea" and back) and high-speed catamarans "Sochi-1" and "Sochi-2", which deliver tourists along the route "Anapa - Kerch" and "port Kavkaz - Kerch", have actively joined in the transportation of passengers. The fare on a catamaran, of course, is more expensive than on a ferry (instead of 162 rubles - 1000 rubles), but it is faster and there are fewer queues (although you can’t cross with a car on a catamaran).

And from June 1, high-speed catamarans entered the route Anapa - Feodosia - Yalta. From Anapa to Yalta can be reached in 6.5 hours and 3 hours from Anapa to Feodosia. Ticket prices: Anapa - Yalta - 2.7 thousand rubles, Anapa - Feodosia - 1.5 thousand rubles, Feodosia - Yalta - 1.2 thousand rubles. Children under 6 years old can travel free of charge, and children from 6 to 12 years old can travel for half the cost of an adult ticket.

The schedule of ferries and catamarans can be found on the website of the "Unified Transport Directorate".

Resorts of the Krasnodar Territory

Among the resorts Krasnodar Territory Traditionally, Anapa and Gelendzhik are in the greatest demand for holidays with children.

This year, new facilities and new opportunities that have appeared in Sochi after the Olympics are very attractive for vacationers.

Increased the number hotel complexes and, accordingly, the number of rooms of varying degrees of comfort and prices: from inexpensive 3 * hotels to luxury "fives". For families, you can rent apartments.

Accordingly, the price range is large. You can stay for 300-500 rubles a day in a mini-hotel, or you can, for example, for 8 thousand rubles a day in a 5 * hotel.

In addition, the popular all-inclusive holiday format is now increasingly common in Sochi hotels.

Sochi novelties

built around Olympic Park Sochi resort area Imeretinsky is a novelty of this summer season. 3-5 * hotels provide quality service and comfortable conditions, animation, spa centers. The resort has a new long promenade, wide pebble beach.

And next to the Olympic Park is the recently opened Sochi-Park theme park, which is a must-see for all city guests and, first of all, children.

Transport accessibility is another advantage Krasnodar resorts. Very quickly and conveniently you can get to Gelendzhik, Sochi (2 hours from Moscow and 3 hours from St. Petersburg), Anapa and Krasnodar by plane. The cost of tickets (July prices) from Moscow to Sochi - from 10,574 rubles (round trip), from St. Petersburg - from 12,055 rubles per person.

It can also be reached by train, bus, car or sea.

From children's camps, Orlyonok (Tuapse district of the Krasnodar Territory) attracts the attention of parents. Accommodation in it, according to experts, for a shift (21 days) will cost from 45 to 65 thousand rubles, plus the cost of a ticket to Tuapse from Moscow (9500-9900 rubles).

I wrote more about the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory for me in one of my previous articles.

visa-free countries and great vacation at sea in July are Montenegro, Turkey, Georgia, Tunisia and Cyprus. To travel to Cyprus, a visa is required, but it is issued online in a day, and if you have a valid Schengen multivisa, it is not required at all.

Türkiye

Türkiye is the most popular destination for summer vacation. More than 40% of tours to Turkey are sold out 3-4 months before the start of the season. As July approaches, the price increases by 50-60%. If you haven't bought your ticket yet, we recommend that you do so as soon as possible. It is not worth waiting for special discounts from last-minute tours, as hotels do not stand idle and charters fly full to capacity.

However, prices for tours to Turkey remain the most affordable compared to other beach resorts.

Where to rest in Turkey

In the Antalya region there are such resorts - the cities of Antalya, Kemer, Side, Belek and Alanya.

Antalya - these are hotels within the city, that is, noisy, the territory of the hotels is not large. The cost of vouchers here will be slightly lower than in other resorts.

Belek is considered a new resort, there are mainly 5 * star luxury hotels, sandy beaches, golf courses. Holiday prices here will be higher than in other resorts.

The best resorts in Turkey for families with children are Side and Alanya. However, it should be borne in mind that they are the farthest from Antalya Airport, you will get there by group bus for 3 hours. Side has the most family hotels.

Kemer is also a good choice for families and children. Moreover, hotels in Kemer itself are designed more for young people - bars, discos, night life. There is great shopping here - both inexpensive things and branded brands (somewhere fake, somewhere not). And in the suburbs of Kemer, there is more nature, vast hotel areas and a more peaceful and relaxing holiday. If this suits you better, choose Beldibi, Tekirova Kirish, Goynuk.

If you bought a tour, then the price includes a transfer from the airport to the hotel. If the hotel is far away, and you are with children, and do not want to wait until everyone is taken to the hotels, you can order a separate transfer from the airport in Turkey.

Tunisia

Tunisia is another visa-free and inexpensive summer destination. It is hot in Tunisia in summer - air temperature is +35, water is +27. During the day we escape under the air conditioner, the rest of the time we swim. And here for this chic conditions - beaches with white sand, similar to flour, warm water, a gentle entrance to the sea.

Where to rest in Tunisia

Djerba- a small island off the African coast. The resort has no bright distinguishing features, in addition to snow-white sand, blinding the eyes in the sun, and an unusually clear and clean sea.

Sousse- the most youthful and noisy resort in Tunisia. The color matches: a whole port of pleasure boats, golf courses and dozens of nightclubs.

Hammamet- a calm and conservative resort, designed for wealthy European tourists of the middle class. Business card of this place - modern thalassotherapy centers and luxurious gardens, in which almost every building is buried.

Greece

In Greece in the summer you have to go to the islands. You will find the best places to stay in Crete, Rhodes, Corfu. The temperature during the day is stable around +35, water +26, but due to low humidity on Greek islands more comfortable than in Turkey.

Most of the beaches are sandy or small pebbles. The water on the coast is the cleanest, no wonder so many beaches in Greece are marked blue flag for purity.

We definitely recommend you. With a child, you can easily make not long and not tiring outings and travel around the island. On public transport you will not succeed, and the excursions that the operators will offer on the spot are absolutely stupid and not worth the money - fishing, boat rides, excursions to various museums and archaeological excavations. You can do all this on your own, without being tied to a group and a bus.

If you choose according to such parameters as clear sea, good beaches, delicious food, then we would recommend Greece for families with children. If you are considering a budget option - Bulgaria.

Bulgaria

July in Bulgaria is the best month for holidays. The most comfortable temperature of water and air, ideal climatic conditions compared to Turkey and Greece, there is no strong sweltering heat, the air temperature is about +30, water +25. But at the same time, you will not get Turkish service and the cleanest Greek sea.

In the summer in Bulgaria, all the beaches are occupied by families with children. And there are many reasons for this - an excellent gentle entry into the water, sandy beaches, shallow, lifeguards are always on duty on the shore.

Where to relax in Bulgaria

The most popular resorts for families with children - Sunny Beach, Golden Sands.

Sunny Beach is the most famous beach resort Bulgaria. It is located in a calm bay. In the center, as usual, noisy and cheerful entertainment, and a little further quiet family hotels and beaches. Nearby are the equally popular resorts of Nessebar and Sveti Vlas. There is a water park and an amusement park (amusement park).

Golden Sands is the most beautiful resort in Bulgaria. A lot of trees the purest air. Previously, a national park was located throughout Golden Sands, so it is very clean here.

Cyprus

Cyprus - amazing island, striking with its variety of possibilities. Here everyone can find everything for a great, quality holiday, especially in summer. July weather is always hot, no clouds in the sky and a breeze blowing from the sea. If in the west of the island the temperature reaches +30, then in the southeast it easily overcomes the mark of 33 degrees. The situation on the plain is even more serious - +35-37! The peak of the heat falls on 12.00-16.00 days.

At night, the thermometer drops to + 20-22 degrees. Rain in July in Cyprus is almost a sensation. The water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea is + 26-27 degrees.

Where to relax in Cyprus

The main resorts of Cyprus offer a wide range of recreational opportunities, choose where better beaches, where are the best parties for young people, and where relaxing holiday for families with children. First time in Cyprus: where to go?

There are a lot of families with children in Cyprus and there are a lot of conditions for them to relax here. The main thing is to choose the right place. Ayia Napa is the most popular resort in Cyprus, but adults without children just need to go there, it's noisy youth resort with bars and discos. But if suddenly you went to rest with your grandparents (that is, with whom to leave the children in the evening), you can safely go to Ayia Napa.

For those who prefer quiet family holiday who needs peace and comfort - it is better to stay in Protaras. Here White sand, clear blue water, developed infrastructure in the form of hotels, shops.

How to get there. This is an island, so only by plane. There are two airports on the island - Larnaca and Paphos. Most flights arrive in Larnaca; charters fly to Paphos.

Where to stay in Cyprus. For the summer, most hotels have been sold out since March. If there is nothing suitable on Booking.com, try looking for private accommodation through Interhome - here you can book not only apartments, but also houses, villas.

Montenegro

If you don't want to bother with getting a visa, Montenegro is another great addition to Turkey. The temperature at all resorts in Montenegro will be more comfortable compared to Turkish Riviera— no sweltering heat — air +27-30, water +25. Pebble beaches, crystal clear pure water, magnificent nature. Amazingly delicious cuisine and excellent attitude of Montenegrins.

Where to relax in Montenegro

Budva. City on the Adriatic coast resort area Budva Riviera. Known for sandy beaches and nightclubs. Located in the center Old city which is surrounded by fortified walls.

Becici. These are two small villages near the center of Budva, one and a half kilometers from each other. They attract with beaches and a developed, well-established infrastructure.

Petrovac. Small resort town 17 km from Budva. Petrovac surrounded pine forests and olive groves. It has a calm atmosphere.

In Montenegro, it makes no sense to take excursions. Better rent a car and see natural beauty both Montenegro and neighboring Balkan countries. You can travel without a visa to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Serbia. We recommend renting a car in - this is an international broker, originally from Montenegro.

You can go to Montenegro on a tour and on your own. In season good prices air tickets are offered as Russian airlines, as well as foreign ones. For example, Air Serbia offers consistently low prices for air tickets to Podgorica and Tivat with transit in Belgrade. Serbia - visa-free country, with a long transit, you can walk around Belgrade (not to be confused with Belgorod 😉). Separately, we recommend ordering to your hotel or apartment in Montenegro.

Croatia

Croatia offers excellent climatic conditions for recreation. There are no sudden changes in temperature - from the incredible heat during the day to cool nights. +29+30 air, +25 water, heady aroma of the sea breeze, mixed with pine smells that grow right on the shore.

A lot of beaches in Croatia have the Blue Flag for cleanliness. The only negative is that the beaches are mostly pebble or concrete slabs. Prices for accommodation in hotels in the summer are quite high, which cannot be said about the service. Croatia is not the cheapest country.

Where to rest in Croatia

Istrian peninsula - resorts Poreč, Umag, Rovinj.

Poreč is an unusually picturesque seaside town with blue lagoons and forests, small streets and cozy restaurants. This is an excellent choice of holidays in Croatia for a couple in love, but it is also suitable for families with children.

Umag. Comfortable hotels and cozy bungalows of this resort are suitable for lovers and families with children. Umag is the most western city Croatia, so it is convenient to go on excursions to neighboring Venice, Ljubljana and other European cities from here.

In Rovinj and Umag, housing will be slightly more expensive than in Poreč.

Middle Dolmatia - the resorts of Brela and Makarska are popular with tourists from Germany. Dubrovnik is one of the most popular resorts in Croatia. People come here to relax both for a long time and with day tours. Dubrovnik is famous for being the filming location for Game of Thrones.

If you prefer to buy tickets instead of a trip to Croatia and book a hotel on your own, then look for flights to Zagreb - the capital, Pula - closest to the Istrian or Dubrovnik peninsula. In summer, you can find relatively cheap air tickets for direct flights from Moscow and St. Petersburg from Croatia Airlines and flights with transfers from Air Serbia and Aegean.

Italy
