Seaside holidays can be organized not only in Egypt and Turkey. It is quite possible to have a great time in Russia, especially since it has certain advantages - the cost of living is low, the service has improved to European standards, and there is no language barrier.

There are many seas in Russia, so it is possible to visit different parts of the country, getting acquainted not only with their nature, but also with some attractions.

Where is the cheapest seaside holiday in Russia in summer?

The Black, Azov, Baltic and Caspian seas can be considered as a place to spend a holiday in Russia. At each of them you can find inexpensive but comfortable places for guests.

Cheap resorts in the South

The south of the country is the Black and Azov Seas. , Novorossiysk, Yeisk, Gelendzhik - these cities, of course, are attractive to tourists - developed infrastructure, plenty of entertainment, high-level service.

But they are also the most expensive for recreation, so it is worth choosing small southern villages, which are rightfully considered resorts. There are several that are most promising in terms of holidays.

Arkhipo-Osipovka A village on the Black Sea coast, located in a bay and protected from the winds by mountains.

This is an amazing place: a lot of tourists come here, but they somehow “dissolve” throughout the populated area, so there are no large crowds either in the amusement park, or in canteens and cafes, or on the beach.

Vacationers can stay in hotels and guest houses; there is always the opportunity to use private services - the cost of a bed ranges from 400 to 600 rubles, depending on the season.

This settlement invites its guests to visit the Museum of Wine and Bread, a miniature oceanarium, and a children's water park.

There is also a lot of entertainment on the beach and embankment: a boat trip to the open sea with swimming, fishing with the obligatory catch of stingrays (they, by the way, are very tasty baked) and sardines, banana/cheesecake rides, a lot of attractions, a dolphinarium and a crocodile farm.

If you get really bored, then at any time you can go to Gelendzhik - a large resort town. Separately, it is worth mentioning cafes and canteens. Many visitors from big cities believe that in terms of prices there is communism here. A 3-course lunch per person costs 400 rubles, and the choice of such “catering” establishments is simply huge. If it is expected

independent decision

food program, you can use online markets with quite reasonable prices for food.

Villages near Anapa

There are several of them: Bolshoi Utrish, Blagoveshchenskaya village, Vityazevo, Sukko. All of them are located within 20 km from Anapa and only Blagoveshchenskaya is 40 km away.

These are quite quiet resort villages that can offer vacationers clean beaches, shops, and entertainment.

Bolshoy Utrish is famous for its Zhemchuzhny waterfall and stationary dolphinarium; a special attraction is the hundred-year-old lighthouse, which still performs its functions. There is the main village beach here, and literally 1 km from it there is a nudist beach. Lovers of wild holidays, quiet places and tranquility will definitely appreciate the cost of living in this village - 500 - 700 rubles per person in the private sector and 700 - 1000 rubles in a hotel. Food is not included in this price, but the developed network of cafes and canteens will not leave anyone hungry. Vityazevo and Sukko are places protected from the winds, in which the air is somewhat drier than in Anapa, but no less healthy. In Sukko the beach is pebble, located 1 km from the village. An excellent highway connects these 2 objects, and public transport runs daily and every 3 - 5 minutes in both directions.

The village of Blagoveshchenskaya deserves special attention - it is located 40 km from Anapa, it has a sandy beach several kilometers long.

There is much less choice here, but according to reviews from those who have already visited them, it is worth paying attention to Kuchugury, Ilyich and Peresyp. It's small and cozy settlements

• , which have everything for a comfortable stay:
• sandy beaches with a flat bottom; shallow sea depth – best option
• for children; local markets with fresh vegetables
• and fruits, fish and dairy products;

grocery and souvenir shops.

There are also small amusement parks and various “entertainment” activities on the beach – from cheesecakes and “bananas” to water slides.

The cost of living is “magical” - you can rent a house in Ilyich for 1500 - 3000 rubles per day, a little cheaper in Peresyp - up to 2500 rubles.

Such houses have everything you need for a comfortable stay: household appliances, amenities, bed linen, towels, dishes, in the courtyards there is a barbecue grill, a gazebo, and often a bathhouse or sauna. In Kuchugury it is cheaper to use the services of a private owner - you can rent a bed for 250 - 500 rubles per day.

The issue of food will not be an issue: there are cafes with canteens, grocery stores, and local residents consistently supply tourists with their own products.

Thrifty in the Caspian Sea

• The Caspian Sea should have been called a lake, since it does not have access to the ocean. But this natural reservoir is too large in size, and the climate is completely marine. As a result, the Caspian Sea has become one of the summer holiday destinations, which successfully combines modern service, sea beaches, historical attractions and the opportunity to visit the Volga.
• The most comfortable and cheapest places to relax in the summer on the Caspian Sea are:
• Astrakhan is a large and noisy city with a developed infrastructure; the cost of hotel accommodation starts from 1,500 rubles per day for a double room;

The cheapest places to vacation in the Caspian Sea are Derbent and Makhachkala. These places are considered unpopular among tourists, so prices for accommodation, food and entertainment are much lower than in the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory. In these cities, every guest is valued, they are provided with a comfortable and safe stay, and a lot of historical attractions and the beauty of nature make the holiday not only useful, but also educational.

Cheap on the Baltic Sea

The Baltic Sea is not only icy winds, but also quite comfortable summer months. This destination for a seaside holiday in the summer is not particularly popular, and it’s completely in vain! The cities of Svetlogorsk and Zelenogradsk are considered one of the most inexpensive resorts. What you need to know about these places:

Expert opinion

Evgeniy Danilov

Travel expert on budget travel

On the Baltic Sea coast there are also small villages - Morskoye, Lesnoye and Rybachy. But the cost of living in them will start from 1,500 rubles per day per person. There are very few hotels in these villages, so it is advisable to stay in Zelenogradsk and make mini-trips from there.

Recommendations for organizing a cheap summer holiday on the Russian seas

• It will be cheaper to vacation where there is no large quantity vacationers. It is better to look for small settlements. The infrastructure in them may not be as developed as possible, but it is quite acceptable.
• If you can’t live without noise and fun, then in large resort towns you should choose housing at some distance from the sea. The cost will be cheaper, and public transport in such places works perfectly.
• A cheap summer vacation at sea is one in which the food problem is solved independently. Rooms with a shared kitchen are inexpensive in any resort town, they are all equipped with TV and air conditioning, but may lack amenities (showers and toilets will be outside).
• Do not be afraid of Dagestan - in this republic the security system of hotels and hotels that have their own access to the sea beaches works well. But a vacation in the Caspian Sea will really be cheap both in terms of the cost of accommodation and the price of lunches, excursions, and souvenirs.

Summer holidays at sea are becoming accessible to the majority of the population. It is worth making an effort in advance to choose a specific place, book a room or room in the private sector. With this approach, you will be able to have a quality rest without emptying your bank account.
