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

There are many seas in Russia, so there is an opportunity to visit different parts of the country, getting acquainted not only with their nature, but also with some sights.

Where is the cheapest seaside vacation in Russia in summer

The Black, Azov, Baltic and Caspian Seas can be considered as a place for spending holidays in Russia. On each of them you can find inexpensive, but comfortable places for guests.

Inexpensive resorts in the South

The south of the country is the Black and Azov Seas. , Novorossiysk, Yeysk, Gelendzhik - these cities, of course, are attractive for tourists - well-developed infrastructure, plenty of entertainment, high-level service. But they are also the most expensive for recreation, so you should choose small southern villages, which are rightfully considered resorts. Of the most promising in terms of vacation, there are several.

Arkhipo-Osipovka

A village on the Black Sea, 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 settlement, so there are no large concentrations 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 varies between 400 - 600 rubles, depending on the season.

True, amenities will be on the street, and the kitchen will be shared. It is interesting that it is not worth talking about the remoteness of housing in Arkhipo-Osipovka from the sea - from anywhere in the village you can reach the beach on foot in 15-20 minutes.

This settlement offers 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 the promenade: a boat trip to the open sea with swimming, fishing with the obligatory catch of stingrays (by the way, they are very tasty in baked form) and sardines, riding a banana / cheesecake, a lot of attractions, a dolphinarium and a crocodile farm.

If it becomes completely boring, then at any time you can go to Gelendzhik - a large resort city.

Separately, it is worth mentioning cafes and canteens. Many visitors from megacities believe that communism is here in terms of price. A 3-course lunch for one person costs 400 rubles, and the choice of such “public catering” establishments is simply huge. If it is supposed to independently solve the food program, then you can use network markets with quite adequate food prices.

Villages near Anapa

There are several of them: Bolshoy Utrish, the village of Blagoveshchenskaya, 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 the Zhemchuzhny waterfall and the stationary dolphinarium, a special attraction is the century-old lighthouse, which still performs its functions. There is the main village beach, and literally 1 km from it - a nudist one.

Fans of wild recreation, 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. Meals are not included in this price, but a developed network of cafes and canteens will not leave anyone hungry.

Vityazevo and Sukko are places protected from the winds, where the air is somewhat drier than in Anapa, but no less useful for that. In Sukko, the beach is pebbly, 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. Those who do not like noisy parties and nightclubs come here to relax. In the village you can rent a room or a house from local residents - the prices are quite reasonable, only 500 - 1500 rubles per day, depending on the level of the guest house.

Resort villages of the Sea of ​​Azov

Here the choice is much smaller, but according to the reviews of those who have already visited them, it is worth paying attention to Kuchugury, Ilyich and Peresyp. These are small and cozy settlements, which have everything for a comfortable stay:

• sandy beaches with a flat bottom;
• the shallow depth of the sea is the best option for children;
• local bazaars with fresh vegetables and fruits, fish and dairy products;
• grocery and souvenir shops.

There are also small amusement parks, and various "entertainment" on the beach - from cheesecakes and "bananas" to water slides.

The cost of living is "magic" - 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, bedding, towels, dishes, barbecue facilities in the yards, a gazebo, and often a bath or sauna. In Kuchugury, it is cheaper to use the services of a private trader - you can rent a bed for 250-500 rubles per day. The issue of food will not stand: there are cafes with canteens, and grocery stores, and local residents consistently supply tourists with their own products.

Thrifty in the Caspian

The Caspian Sea should have been called a lake, since it has no outlet to the ocean. But this natural reservoir is too large in size, and the climate is fully consistent with the sea. As a result, the Caspian has become one of the summer holiday destinations, which successfully combines modern service, sea beaches, historical sights and the opportunity to visit the Volga.

The most comfortable and cheap 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 living in a hotel starts from 1500 rubles per day for a double room;
• Lagan is a quiet and calm city with a slightly developed infrastructure, but with the opportunity to have a good rest with children, the cost of living in the private sector is from 250 rubles per person per day;
• Kaspiysk is a fairly developed settlement in Dagestan, all hotels are guarded, so tourists are not in danger, the cost of living in a double room on an all-inclusive program starts from 1350 rubles per day.

The cheapest thing to do in the Caspian Sea is to rest in Derbent and Makhachkala. These places are considered unpopular with tourists, so the prices for accommodation, food and entertainment are much lower than in the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory. In these cities, each guest is valued, they are provided with a comfortable and safe stay, and the mass of historical sights and the beauty of nature make the rest 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 in vain! One of the most inexpensive resorts are the cities of Svetlogorsk and Zelenogradsk. What you need to know about these places:

Expert opinion

Evgeny Danilov

Travel expert for budget travel

On the coast of the Baltic Sea there are also small villages - Morskoye, Lesnoye and Rybachy. But the cost of living in them will start from 1500 rubles per day per person. There are very few hotels in these villages, so it is advisable to stay in Zelenogradsk and from there make mini-travels.

Recommendations for organizing a cheap summer holiday on the seas of Russia

• Rest will be cheaper where there are not a large number of vacationers. It is better to look for small settlements. The infrastructure in them may not be the most developed, but quite acceptable.
• If there is no way without noise and fun, then in large resort cities it is worth choosing housing at some distance from the sea. Its cost will be cheaper, and public transport in such places works fine.
• A cheap seaside vacation in the summer is one in which the problem of nutrition is solved on its own. Rooms with a shared kitchen are inexpensive in any resort town, they are all equipped with a TV and air conditioning, but may lack amenities (shower and toilet 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 perfectly. But in the Caspian Sea, vacation will really be cheap both in terms of the cost of living, and in terms of the price of lunches, excursions, and souvenirs.

Rest in the summer at sea becomes available to the bulk of the population. It is worth making an effort in advance to choose a specific place, book a room or a room in the private sector. With this approach, you will be able to have a good rest without emptying your bank account.

Many tourists have long made a choice in favor of traveling in Russia, decisively abandoning foreign resorts. They are convinced that nowhere else is there such beauty and diversity of nature, amazing architecture, historically valuable cities, unforgettable beach resorts as in Russia. It is difficult to challenge their opinion: Russia contains a huge local history, cultural and historical layer of architecture, rich in natural beauty.

If we add to this the obvious savings, a compelling and enticing portrait of the future of an exciting and inexpensive trip to Russia is drawn! And it's also very nice to forget about exchange rates and not give extra money because of the vagaries of the exchange!

The most ancient cities of Russia: the architecture of the centuries

Not far from Moscow there are three cities, the origin of which goes back to the times when our ancestors were still pagans. Each of them has preserved the oldest evidence of Russian history and has become the most valuable diamond in the collection.

These are the cities:

• Moore;
• Yaroslavl;
• Pereslavl Zalessky.

As in the city, in Murom, in the village of Karacharovo ...

Lines from the Tale of Bygone Years date back to the ninth century and tell us about the life of the Russian hero Ilya Muromets. Once, back in the thirteenth century, both the city and the famous village stood in dense forests, on the banks of the Oka, and the path to them was difficult and dangerous.

Now you can get to Murom very quickly and without spending an extra ruble: there are bus and rail links; easy to reach by car. Murom is waiting for travelers, having prepared its miracles, for visiting and examining which you will not have to pay!

For pilgrimage guests and connoisseurs of religious architecture, these are monasteries and temples of the 11th-17th centuries:

• Holy Trinity Convent;
• Murom Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery;
• Ascension Church or Church of the Ascension of the Lord;
• Holy Resurrection Monastery (Savior on the Forest);
• Church of Cosmas and Damian.

The relics of Peter and Fevronia, symbols of love and family well-being in the Orthodox denomination, rest in the Holy Trinity Monastery. These patron saints of marriage and family give pilgrims happiness in their personal lives.

If during the inspection you want to have a snack, then on the territory of the monasteries there are shops where they sell delicious fresh pies from their own monastic bakeries - inexpensive and still warm.

Temples and monasteries make up one side of the coin of Murom attractions, and the other is almost fabulous, or epic.

The epic side of Murom begins with the Epic stone - a stone lying at a crossroads, a stone with a hard-to-read inscription, the progenitor of all fairy-tale pointer stones.

The museum in Karacharovo will demonstrate local history exhibits, the house where Ilya was born, an ancient church dedicated to him. From the picturesque village, go to the Oka embankment, where Muromets, twenty-one meters tall, is still peering into the opposite bank, as if expecting to see the Polovtsian hordes ... This statue is considered the second largest in Russia: after the Motherland in Volgograd.

The hotel does not provide food, but next to it there are many small cafes and pizzerias. The price of food in Yaroslavl is low, the difference with Moscow is noticeable. For example, the average price tag per person in a Japanese restaurant is only 450 rubles.

There are many museums in Yaroslavl that have no analogues, which have grown from private collections. For example, this is the Teddy Bear Museum and the Museum of Music and Time.

Religious architectural Yaroslavl is represented by famous temples:

• Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery and Cathedral;
• Church of Elijah the Prophet;
• New Assumption Cathedral.

The antiquity of Yaroslavl is adjacent to scientific museums and the ultra-modern planetarium. V. Tereshkova, a native of Yaroslavl.

Looking for history...

Cities that can be visited by spending a modest amount, and at the same time having a powerful serious and local history value, are:

• Kronstadt;
• Volgograd;

The city, the brainchild of Peter the Great, was closed to tourists and guests until 1996, and therefore retained a touching touch of Soviet simplicity and almost Soviet prices.

It has few restaurants, but tasty and unpretentious food is sold in shops and family cafes.

Start your tour from Anchor Square - this is the center of the city, where the cathedral-lighthouse rises, the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas. The history of Kronstadt spans three hundred years, many of which were devoted to defense at sea, so in the city you will find a naval museum, naval memorials, and barracks for naval officers dating back to Peter the Great.

Kronstadt is surrounded by forts standing on the water. They were laid down and built throughout the life of the city, but they were laid down and planned by Peter the Great.

Fort "Konstantin", "Milyutin" and "Obruchev" can be visited with a guided tour, the rest of the forts are in disrepair, and you can get there only with a certain courage and independence.

Unlike the forts of Kaliningrad, the forts in the waters of the Baltic Gulf have a different architecture and shape.

Volgograd: Motherland is calling!

There is no other city whose name is so closely associated with the greatest battle of World War II. Volgograd tops the list of hero cities; the events of the Battle of Stalingrad still occupy the minds and historians still restore their course.

Historical monuments and museums:

• Mamaev kurgan;
• The Heroes Alley;
• Soldier's field;
• Museum-panorama "Battle of Stalingrad".

Tourists willingly visit the Stalin Museum in Volgograd. In the age of debunking past ideals, in the age of rewriting Russian history, his odious figure arouses a lot of interest. The Stalin Museum has collected the most reliable, confirmed and entertaining documents, facts, exhibits that reveal the controversial personality of Stalin without bias.

Volgograd is also good because educational excursions can be combined with a beach holiday on the banks of the Volga. In order to find a wild beach, for which you don’t have to pay an entrance fee, head towards the town of Volzhsk. It is located half an hour from Volgograd, food is much cheaper there, and sandy wild beaches are almost deserted.

In addition to its medicinal advantages and inexpensive accommodation prices, the Elbrus region is famous for its landscapes, where mountain rivers and lakes merge with alpine meadows. Waterfalls and rocks, snowy peaks of mountains, sparkling with glaze in the sun, the majestic bulk of the sleeping volcano Elbrus - Lermontov admired these places.

Water resorts and recreation centers in Russia

Often, tourists are guided in choosing the purpose of travel by the presence of nearby water. Lakes, seas, large rivers are very attractive both from the point of view of the beauty of landscapes and from the point of view of active and pleasant recreation.

Sometimes it seems that it will be difficult to find a cheap vacation on the beautiful shores of a clear reservoir: the prices for resort vouchers are frightening, and the frustrated traveler closes the page offering to go to the water.

Do not rush to give up water recreation! Relax in inexpensive resorts and camp sites on the shores:

• Crimea (Solnechnogorsk)
• Rybinsk reservoir

- a famous resort, which does not need to be advertised, but it is worth noting that not all cities and towns of Crimea are equally cheap. We found the cheapest and most comfortable place with a subtropical climate, a small number of people on clean and free beaches.

Solnechnogorsk is a beautiful place, protected by rocks from strong winds. Due to this, over the small-pebble beaches of Solnechnogorsk, there is always a transparent clear sky.

The sea here is clean, the bottom is flat, so you can take your kids with you. If you go with a group of adults, then you can stay in car campings, where accommodation will cost less than three hundred rubles a day.

Local neat houses invite those who want comfort to stay. Entertainment is offered on the beaches of Solnechnogorsk: catamarans, jet skis. The prices are symbolic - from 50 rubles per hour of using the watercraft.

Road: by plane Moscow - Simferopol (from 6100 rubles), then by minibus Simferopol - Rybachye.

Residence: From 350 per room in boarding houses / hotels.

The cheapest on Seliger rest "savages". The tent towns of Seliger are located along the banks in multi-colored flocks, but there are many places on the chains of long lakes, and the tent can be set apart.

Experienced "savages" fit into two thousand rubles for a week's stay in a tent, by the fire, on which they boil and fry fresh fish caught in the lakes.

If you are used to comfort, then recreation centers will offer you it at a modest price, and at the same time hunting, fishing, boating and horseback riding, night barbecues, Russian baths ...

Rest on Seliger is closest to people who love the nature of Russia in its wild incarnation, people who avoid noisy crowded resorts.

The chain of endless lakes, spread out under a bright sky, is good in the early morning, when bursts of fish are carried for kilometers, sedge rustle sleepily, and a fire with bitter smoke burns nearby.

Road: bus Moscow - Ostashkov from the Tushino bus station. 7 hours on the road, cost 781 rubles.
Then by bus from Ostashkov to Berezovy Ryad or Svapusche. The cost is 126 rubles.

Residence: from 800 rub. (private sector)

Weekly accommodation for one person + road: 10,000 rubles, if you eat on your own.

Rybinsk reservoir

This is an artificially created reservoir, which I want to call the sea because of its huge size. Surrounded by coniferous mushroom and berry forests, it is famous for its fishing grounds.

Good location - just a few hours from Moscow, attracts weekend tourists who want to hunt or fish.

The most inexpensive bases where you can rent gear cheaply and save on accommodation in a double room are the Kedr, Medukhovo, and Stepanevo bases.

The surroundings of the Rybinsk reservoir were chosen by quad bikers, and in winter - lovers of snowmobiling.

Road: by bus from Moscow to Rybinsk (5.5 hours on the way). The cost is from 600 rubles, if you depart from the Botanichesky Sad metro station, from other points of departure the ticket costs more.

Residence: from 850 rub. per person in the rooms of the camp site.

Right on the beach!

From Moscow or St. Petersburg directly to Sukhumi can be inexpensively reached by train. On the road 38 and 45 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 the 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.

In addition to the sea, Abkhazia has beautiful nature, delicious wine and food. And the prices! Probably, such low prices for sea holidays in Russia are nowhere to be found. Even a hotel with three meals a day costs 2 times cheaper than in Russia.
