Where to relax by the sea in July 2022 abroad inexpensively – 20 best beach destinations

In the hottest month of the Russian summer, many people prefer to go to the sea coasts. In the middle of summer, the demand for tours to the sea, air tickets, hotel and apartment bookings traditionally increases. Already now it is worth thinking about choosing a place that provides a comfortable seaside vacation, taking into account your financial capabilities.

Tunisia

An exotic country with semi-deserts, tropics and subtropics, pleases tourists with Mediterranean resorts. A cheerful resort life is seething here, filled with beach pleasures, evening and nighttime entertainment. The coast is dry, hot weather, with velvet nights, the scent of flowering plants and the whisper of the waves. The sea almost becomes very warm, you don't want to leave its gentle embrace.

Water near the coast warms up from +26°С to +28°С, daytime air – from +31°С to +33°С, at night -+25°С –+27°С. At any of the seaside resorts, an abundance of fruits, fresh seafood dishes, exciting excursions to the mysterious objects of the ancient country await. Adherents of comfort should choose the city of Hammamet, with a highly developed infrastructure, luxury hotels, and interesting sights.

Here, children will be pleased with the Carthaqe Land amusement park, an indoor skating rink, etc. If you want to get “fried” properly, go to Sousse, neither you nor the children will be disappointed. Between Sousse and Hammamet is Phrygia Safari Park, home to 400 species of fauna. Enjoy your holiday in Djerba, with beautiful beaches; a lagoon inhabited by flamingos, with a crocodile farm. Here, as well as in Tabarka, excellent diving. At the Resorts of Mahdia and Monastir you will also get a fair amount of pleasure.

Cyprus

Cyprus is ideal for those people who love really hot weather, but for those who suffer from heart disease, it is better to refrain from traveling to the island at this time. Rains are rather an anomaly for the summer months, so the tropical stuffiness will not interfere with the rest. Abnormal temperatures reign in resorts like Larnaca – here the air sometimes warms up to 40 degrees.

At the same time, a visit to Larnaca is recommended for fans of a quality and relaxing beach holiday and trips with children. Local beaches have been awarded blue flags for their cleanliness, and therefore it will be comfortable to relax here. And the status of one of the oldest cities in Cyprus guarantees a rich excursion program. For those who are afraid of high temperatures, it is better to choose mountain resorts or go to Paphos, the most fashionable resort in Cyprus, from where, according to legend, the beautiful Aphrodite came out.

In addition, Paphos is under the protection of international organizations as a unique cultural site. Here the temperature rarely exceeds 29 degrees. The water temperature is relatively uniform along the entire coast – from 25 to 30 degrees.

Turkey

The blessed Turkish coast, washed by 4 seas, provides a wide choice of holidays in July. The month of the “high season” here is characterized by intense heat, especially in the Mediterranean and the Aegean shores. If you observe a reasonable measure of sunbathing (until 11 am and from 4 pm) and staying on the beach, then rest in Turkey will only benefit.

Daytime air temperature in the Mediterranean resorts (Antalya, Alanya, Belek, Beldibi, Kemer) from + 33 ° to + 38 °, at night – + 20- + 21 °. The sea warms up to + 24- + 26 °, in some places up to 28 ° heat. The resorts of the Aegean Sea (Bodrum, Cesme, Didim) delight with 33-34-degree heat during the day and + 24-degree temperature at night. It is very hot in Marmaris in a closed bay. However, the abundance of pine forests in the vicinity of the beaches helps to endure the heat.

The coolest thing is on the Black Sea coast (Samsun Samsun, Trabzon, Sinop Sinop, Amasra, etc.) + 30-32 ° during the day, at night – + 20- + 21 °, many attractions, thermal springs make the rest here interesting and useful. Medieval, Byzantine castles, mountain lakes, wonderful landscapes diversify your stay. The choice of resorts in Turkey is extremely rich, any of them has some kind of zest.

Why not take a cruise? Prices are very affordable! Mediterranean Sea from 239€, Caribbean Sea from 254€, Emirates from 409€, Canary Islands from 379€.

Spain

The coast of Spain is a real boon for tourists: a variety of resort areas and consistently high levels of service. Thus, the Costa Tropical adorns the province of Granada in the southern tip of Spain. The massive mountain ranges of the Sierra Nevada are transformed into natural protection from the cold winds from the north. The weather here is stable: dry and sunny almost all year round. The air warms up to 30 degrees, while the water temperature on average shows an indicator of 24 degrees.

Among the local resort towns, Almuñécar is especially distinguished by its rich sights. The white coast of Spain or the Costa Blanca is distinguished by fine sandy beaches, picturesque mountain ranges and snow-white cliffs. The maximum temperature reaches 32 degrees, while the water temperature sometimes freezes at around 28 degrees.

Among the local resort towns, the most important are Alicante with its castles, art museums and a colorful promenade, Benidorm with a real bullring, and Valencia, which annually hosts the festival of kings and is famous for its wines. Among other resort areas, Costa Dorada and Costa Brava enjoy stable popularity. Don't forget about Spain's maritime possessions: Ibiza, Mallorca and the Canary Islands are never short of tourists.

Italy

It is in July that the most magnificent Italian flowering begins – huge asters begin to bloom with colors all over the peninsula, and the first bunches of grapes are filled with sweetness. With a fairly high humidity, a quite comfortable temperature is maintained – up to 30 degrees. In the northern regions of the country it is relatively cooler – up to 25 degrees. As a rule, the water steadily warms up to 26 degrees. All this gives real scope for choosing a resort to taste.

Among the main tourist cities, Rome and the so-called cities of art stand out especially: Milan, Venice, Florence and glorious Pisa. A huge number of resorts are located along the coast of Italy, forming the Lazio Riviera, the Venetian and Tuscan Riviera and other seaside resort areas. Of particular interest are the island possessions of Italy.

So, Sardinia, which has an autonomous status, is a place where a beach holiday is ideally combined, almost all water sports and the richest excursion programs. Sicily is characterized by explosive temperament, unique culture, hot volcanoes and delicious cuisine. Not surprisingly, many gastronomic tours are organized here. And also Capri – an amazing place that acquired the status of an island, where the European and then the American elite preferred to relax.

Greece

Like other seaside resorts, Hellas has a high beach season. Practically on the entire coast and on the islands, the heat of the day is set, when at lunchtime everyone hides in the shade. Beautiful landscapes with turquoise seas, white sandy beaches, amazing ancient monuments, surfing, diving make your vacation in Greece amazing. In Halkidiki, Peloponnese, Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos, the air temperature during the day is from + 29 ° to + 33 °. It is cooler in Thessaloniki + 28 ° -29 ° С.

Water in the entire water area warms up to +24°С. The most comfortable weather (+29-32°C) is on Skiathos, Corfu, Thassos, Crete. The coolness of the night (+20°-21°C) compensates for the challenge of the daytime heat. July is not the best month for excursions to unique ancient sights. Short tours are held in the early morning hours and in the evening, before sunset. It is better to do this in a rented car with air conditioning.

But on the other hand, a beach holiday on a delightful coast, with crystal clear water, in many places marked with the Blue Flag, is a real pleasure. Water off the coast warms up to + 29 ° C, which is very good for children. You can have a great vacation on the islands of Rhodes, Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos, Halkidiki, Zakynthos and others. Boat trips, fishing, diving, staying in luxury hotels, evening entertainment with sirtaki, karaoke are unforgettable days in Greece.

Bulgaria

Bulgaria offers a slightly different type of holiday. It offers tourists beautiful sandy beaches, as well as friendly Slavic service, which still retains all the flavor of Soviet sanatoriums. You can stay in one of the famous hotels, the cost of living in which is almost half that of their Western European counterparts. Almost all hotels in Bulgaria have the status of “three stars”, an acceptable level of comfort (for not too demanding customers) and affordable prices.

And in combination with excellent climatic conditions, the best qualities of which are revealed in the first days of the month, these resorts retain the title of the most popular and affordable for annual holidays. The air and water temperatures reach 29 and 25 degrees above zero, respectively. There are especially many vacationers with children, for whom the Bulgarian beaches have a special expanse – the entrance to the sea is gentle, the bottom is without flaws, and the cleanliness of the beaches is monitored daily by experienced and responsible staff. There are a huge number of water parks and other types of entertainment that young vacationers love so much.

Vietnam

Vietnam is not distinguished by the stability and uniformity of the weather regime, and therefore it is worth paying more attention to choosing a resort, especially when the rainy season begins. So, the resorts, which are located in the north, delight with the hot tropical sun and the highest levels of humidity. The temperature of water and air during the day is stable at around 30 degrees.

Among the northern resorts, attention should be paid to Sapa: beautiful mountain landscapes, stepped green terraces and French poetics of architectural delights that appeared here mainly in the 19th century. One of the best southern resorts is Ho Chi Minh City, a huge metropolis that epitomizes the rapidly developing Vietnam. In summer, the rainy season is in full swing, the air temperature is slightly lower compared to the northern resorts – 28 degrees, but the water retains its temperature before it starts to cool down.

During this period, it is best to go on vacation to resorts in the central part of Vietnam, as the lowest humidity levels are recorded here, and the dry season begins. It is worth visiting Nha Trang, which, thanks to its advantageous geographical position, does not suffer from abnormal heat (up to 36 degrees), freezing at around 29 Celsius.

This small town represents eternal summer and fun: the most beautiful sea views, a bright scattering of bars, clubs and casinos, ancient temples and ruins.

Thailand

As a rule, it is in July that the peak of the rainy season falls. The air becomes humid due to heavy showers, which, however, usually fall on the ground in the evening or at night. Stuffiness covers the resorts of Thailand with a damp blanket when the sun is at its zenith. Nevertheless, it is July that is considered the best time to visit such resorts as Krabi, where the daytime temperature reaches only 30 degrees, as well as Bangkok and Pattaya, where the air warms up a little more – up to 32 degrees on average.

At the same time, the water temperature is relatively the same in all resorts, reaching 25 degrees. Despite the fact that Bangkok is not intended for a beach holiday and you can only swim here on the roofs of hotel complexes, it is best to start your acquaintance with Thailand from here. It is worth taking a closer look and in the shadow of a huge bustling metropolis, historical buildings and hundreds of temples are found – all city arteries are permeated with Buddhism.

Krabi, despite the popular mistake of many travel agencies, is not just an island within the waters of Thailand, but an entire province, which is a zone of increased concentration of modern resorts focused on a beach holiday format. It is within Krabi that the most picturesque national parks of the country are located.

Pattaya is perhaps the most famous resort city in the Gulf of Thailand and fully justifies its fame as a tourist Mecca. There are not the cleanest beaches here, but it is in this city that you can try the most exotic food and entertainment, and you can visit the most beautiful beaches at any time – ferries depart daily from the local pier to all parts of the country.

Croatia

Other popular countries with access to the sea can boast of similar climatic conditions. Croatia offers guests accommodation in a natural reserve, which is dominated by a temperate Mediterranean climate. There is practically no daytime heat here, as well as night temperature drops. Tourists come here to recuperate and to join the traditions of a healthy lifestyle.

This trip is especially good for children. The sea coast is decorated with slender rows of coniferous forests, which saturate the air with a mass of useful substances and microelements. Well, you can diversify your leisure time in the process of numerous excursions. For 2017, tour operators offer seven-day tours with accommodation in excellent rooms at prices ranging from 33-39 thousand (hotels with two or three stars Adriatic, Plavi, Jadran Residence) to 78-79 thousand (five-star hotels Sheraton Zagreb Hotel, The Westin Zagreb).

Montenegro

The Montenegrin Adriatic is a fertile place for beach and sea holidays when the swimming season is in full swing here. There is almost no rain, the daytime air warms up to + 29-30 ° С. The clear waters of the Adriatic Sea become like fresh milk – + 25 ° -26 ° С (Budva, Podgorica, Tivat) If you add a variety of beaches, irresistibly beautiful views and relatively inexpensive prices to the pleasant weather factor, then Montenegro is hard to resist.

Luxurious sandy beaches prevail in the resorts of the Budva Riviera (Becici, Przno, Rafailovichi, Kamenovo). Sand and pebble sections of the coast near the Tivat, Kotor-Risan bays, in the vicinity of Herceg Novi are good. You can choose the Grabl and Lustice peninsulas, with cozy coves. In Kotor, Perast, Dobrota, Prcan, there is a pebbly or rocky coastline.

Almost every resort town in Montenegro is a storehouse of cultural and historical monuments. There are ancient monasteries, fortresses, churches, palaces in Kotor, Petrovac, Ulcinj, Cetinje, Herceg Novi, the islands of St. Stephen, Sveti Nikola and others. impossible to take your eyes off.

Abkhazia

The divine piece of the Black Sea coast, according to legend, given by God to the Abkhazians for hospitality, fascinates with landscapes. Picturesque peaks, mountain lakes, mysterious caves, ancient monasteries, forests – the richness of the nature of Abkhazia is not inferior to Montenegro. Despite the destruction caused by the war, a small country strives to welcome tourists with comfort.

Prices for accommodation in hotels, private owners are much lower than in other Caucasian resorts. The weather here is mainly dictated by the Mediterranean subtropical climate. Although the relief features of different places bring their own nuances to the weather, the daytime temperature reaches +29-30°С almost throughout the territory. In Gagra, surrounded by mountains, at noon the air heats up to + 35-37 ° C, and due to insufficient air circulation, humidity rises.

Cooler in Pitsunda, Sukhumi, New Athos. In Pitsunda, New Athos, immersed in lush greenery, there are many shady corners where it is easy to hide from the heat. Water everywhere near the coast reaches a comfortable + 22-24 ° С. Beaches in Abkhazia for every taste: pebble sand-pebble and sand. Their infrastructure is somewhat inferior in quality to European beaches. There is a rental of water sports equipment: aquacycles, inflatable shells, etc.

Tremendous aesthetic pleasure is delivered by excursions to unique natural objects: lakes Ritsa, Goluboe, Mzy, New Athos cave, waterfalls, Bzybskoe gorge, nature reserves. Children especially like visiting the Sukhumi monkey nursery, which has begun to revive. Fruit and berry abundance pleases tourists: pears, peaches, figs, melons, dogwood.

UAE

The United Arab Emirates is perhaps the most sultry corner of the Arabian Peninsula. The sun here rises early, and at 9 o'clock in the morning it is already hot. Despite the heat and high humidity, the Emirates attract tourists at all times of the year, and after a few days, guests, adapting to the heat, find options for an exciting vacation. At noon, the thermometer crawls to + 42⁰С in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, + 40⁰С in Dubai and + 37⁰С in Fujairah.

July is not distinguished by the hottest weather. In the Mediterranean resorts – Haifa, Herzliya, Tel Aviv and Netanya, the average daytime temperature is kept within +32°C and drops to +24-+25⁰C at night.

Jordan

The beaches of the Dead and Red Seas, the sacred Jordan River, the ancient Pink City of Petra and many other attractions – this is the Arabian state of Jordan. In July, scorching heat sets in here, when the thermometer reaches + 33-36 ° C, or even higher. In Aqaba, on the Red Sea, according to experienced tourists, the rest is much better than in Egypt.

Humidity on the island is relatively high and winds are blowing around the island for almost the entire month.

The main occupation will be staying on the coast. The water during the hours of comfortable sunbathing is already warmed up to + 24⁰С, so swimming here is a pleasure. In the water area you will not meet poisonous jellyfish, snakes and predators, therefore, safe swimming is guaranteed. Despite the absence of winds, waves are observed on the sea, but they are not so large as to interfere with swimming.

The sea near the coasts is perfectly clean. All beaches – paid and free – are distinguished by impeccable grooming. Most of them are pebbly, with a small width, so they are crowded.

Fans of sandy beaches should head to the island of Gozo, which is part of the Maltese archipelago. There they can soak up the golden beaches: Marsalforn bay, Xlendi Bay, Hondoq ir-Rummien, Mgarr ix-Xini and covered with red sand – Ramla Bay and San Blas.

Morocco

Morocco is a kingdom located in northwest Africa, washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. To get together in these wonderful lands, you must first familiarize yourself with the climatic conditions at the resorts of the country. On the Atlantic coast – in Agadir, the temperature is + 34⁰C during the day and + 24.7⁰C – at night, the ocean is cool – 19.7⁰С.

The entire coastline is sandy, stretching for 6 kilometers, with little beach infrastructure.

Another famous resort is Saidia. The beach strip of clean crisp sand here stretches for 14 kilometers. The hotels are focused on working on an all-inclusive system, so there are a lot of Russian tourists in the city. Of the resorts of the Atlantic Ocean, the largest is the white city of Agadir, located on the southwestern coast. More than 40 luxury hotels, a delightful white sandy beach area with shallow water up to 30 meters, many restaurants and attractions.

Casablanca is an exotic place with well-maintained white sand beaches and ancient sights. Despite the heat, thanks to the ocean winds, it is easily tolerated here, but the water in the ocean remains cool.

Portugal

Good conditions for recreation on the seashore can please tourists and Portugal. Of course, against the background of its European competitors, this country is famous for its cooler climate: the air warms up only to +25 degrees, and the water temperature is 19 degrees above zero. But do not forget about the island of Madeira, which is very popular among vacationers. Comfortable conditions for swimming and sunbathing remain here until October!

Madeira itself is famous for its sights and amazing nature. Such a trip will appeal to all lovers of clean air, pristine beauty and natural food. In addition, those who love quality wine will find something to their taste here. And in order for the vacation to also have a healing effect, tourists are offered to get addicted to the local mineral springs.

The only downside to a holiday in Madeira is the steep slopes to the sea. To be on the shore, you have to overcome more than a dozen meters along steep stairs. But if you can afford a room in an expensive hotel, you should not worry about this, because hotels offer their guests the opportunity to descend to the sea by elevator. Portugal is also worth choosing because the famous regatta takes place here – the competition on the Portuguese boats muliseira.

Multiple fairs, as well as the Ria holiday, will help diversify your vacation. Wine connoisseurs are advised to go to Bombarrale, where the traditional wine festival takes place in the middle of summer. Of course, a trip to Portugal cannot be called affordable. The cost of exciting tours starts from 50-60 thousand rubles. But if you want to go to this amazing country on your own, you can save a lot of money.

Russian resorts

Do not forget about the possibility of a good and affordable holiday within the native country. The resorts of the Black Sea and Azov coast are gaining popularity, on the territory of which a very attractive climate is established. Tourists who come to heal their children will also find a resort to their taste.

For young vacationers, sanatoriums and children's camps located in Evpatoria, Yalta, Feodosia and Sudak are suitable. Do not discount the excellent conditions for recreation on the coast of the Krasnodar Territory, Anapa and Gelendzhik. There are great offers for tourists with a minimum budget for a vacation.

Their attention deserves the deserted coast and bays of the southern coast of Crimea, which are so fond of tourists that they relax in the “wild” style. The air temperature in the Crimea reaches its maximum mark and will stay at the level of these indicators until the beginning of autumn. In other resort areas of the country – Sochi, Anapa, etc. – the air warms up to 27-28 degrees with a plus sign, and the water temperature is kept at 22-23 degrees Celsius.

Do not forget about the availability of domestic resorts. You can get to the Black Sea or Azov coast by both land and air transport. Family tourists prefer to travel by private car, and young people often resort to hitchhiking services.

Tourists do not need to apply for a visa or a passport, and the money saved can be spent on nice gifts for relatives or stay for a few more days at the resort you like!
