Rest abroad at all times was considered the most expensive pleasure. But recently, tourists can travel abroad freely and the cost of such a vacation will be quite acceptable. Let's consider the most cheap vacation abroad 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 abroad without a visa 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, we must not forget about the entertainment, which is simply a huge amount in Turkey, and therefore every day there are a lot of nightclubs, discos, restaurants and bars waiting for tourists here.
Vacation prices here fluctuate depending on the season, season and part of the country. 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 rest with an all-inclusive system, excellent climate, clear sea and numerous excursions.
Unfortunately for today, Turkey is closed to travel companies and many are tormented by the question of when Turkey will be opened. But you can go on vacation yourself.
Holidays in Egypt on the sea is the most traditional among the inhabitants of Russia, as this direction has long been "traveled" by Russian tourists. Here you can enjoy excellent service in hotels, 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 beautiful country with her 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 going to this country on vacation. But this direction is closed, although there is information that flights will resume soon.
And, of course, there will be a logical question: 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 voucher for a ten-day vacation will cost about $ 700-800. The cheapest vacation at sea in 2019 will indeed be in Thailand, since in almost any region of the country you can have a great vacation for 15-25 dollars a 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 at a hotel in the center of Pattaya. But you can find rest 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 bargaining.
The cheapest seaside vacation
Vietnam Is an incredibly beautiful place where you can find many untouched corners of nature. And even in spite of the ever-increasing popularity of this country, rest in it remains quite acceptable. So, for example, $ 10 per day is enough for one person for hotel accommodation, meals, excursion programs and massage. And if you’re willing to spend $ 20 a day, you’ll be able to indulge yourself 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, as with $ 100 in your pocket (6,000 rupees) you can have a great rest and indulge yourself in nothing, 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 megalopolises. The most expensive vacation in Goa in winter, as the high season begins at this time, but if you buy a ticket in the off-season, then the tour with air travel at the time of the price drop starts from $ 400. But if you decide to go on your own and settle 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 next to Russia and therefore many people prefer to go to this country on vacation, since for many it will be the most a budget option have a great time on the Black Sea. I would also like to note that Russians do not need visas and passports to go on vacation to Abkhazia and the journey will take a little time.
If you do not have a large amount, then you can choose a vacation in the private sector, where prices for budget housing do not exceed 300-350 rubles per day per person. If you want more comfortable apartments in the private sector, you will have to pay a more significant 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. For example Double Room in a boarding house or sanatorium will cost from 1600 to 8000 rubles per day. Thus, if you are counting on an 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 have a rest - in Sochi, Crimea or Abkhazia?
But the cheapest holiday abroad by the sea is waiting for you in Bali and Cambodia... These countries offer the cheapest accommodation and food for tourists. In Bali, you can find great accommodations for $ 100 a month and the same amount for food for 30 days. The only drawback is the very expensive flight - about $ 1000!
Cambodia and Bali are not very famous countries for tourist rest, and therefore the question will be logical: Where are Bali and Cambodia?
And in Cambodia, you can find a room for $ 1.50 a day, and buying delicious and cheap food, you will feel guilty that you are paying people so little. A visit to one of the most famous monuments of the Kingdom of Cambodia in the world - Angkor Wat will cost you only $ 5.
Exquisite relaxation
Sri Lanka or Ceylon v recent times began to enjoy great popularity among Russian tourists, as many want to relax in exotic locations where reigns beautiful nature and there are many secluded beautiful places and unique cultural and historical sites.
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 variety of sports: diving, surfing, fishing, kiteering, rafting, etc. But plane tickets here are not cheap, so it is best to buy tickets for charter flights or on flights with transfers. Thus, you will need about $ 400-500 for a month's rest.
Greece Is the country of the ancient gods, the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea as well as wonderful scenic spots where you can relax with children at the most affordable 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 of 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. Currently, this country is one of the most inexpensive countries where a Schengen visa is required, who want to fully enjoy their beach and sightseeing holidays at sea.
Cyprus cannot 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 a share of any airline, you can save from 30 to 50%. But living on the island is quite expensive. Most cheap room in Paphos it will cost $ 30-35, but you can rent a room for $ 25-28 per day. 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 reading the differences between them: What is better to choose - Greece or Cyprus, for example, for beach holiday?
Europe is a holiday destination
Portugal is a member of the Eurozone and therefore cannot boast of the same low prices like the countries of Asia. But the 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 - ginjin, port, and also to visit all the architectural monuments of the Iberian culture of the country, one of which is the famous Belém Tower - fort on the Tijou river in the homonymous region of Lisbon.
Accommodation in Portugal in an inexpensive province hostel will cost from $ 18 to $ 33 per day. Number in three star hotel will cost from 30 to 80 dollars per day. And accommodation in a boarding house in Lisbon 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. You will need about $ 50 per person per day, so the total cost of the trip will vary from $ 600 to $ 1000.
