New Year at sea<\/a> is quite a popular alternative among many tour<\/a>ists to a somewhat bored holiday in their native country. The beach countries<\/a> that are chosen as venues for the holidays<\/a>, for the most part, are very different culturally from European ones, and therefore an unusual phenomenon appears: the usual realities and traditions of celebrating the New Year are superimposed on the unique<\/a> flavor of sea<\/a> capitals. Therefore, such a journey will not only allow you to relax<\/a>, finally, feeling the gentle breeze and soft sunbeams, which are so different from the summer heat that burns your lungs, but also fill this holiday with new meaning, refreshing it. We will tell you where you can relax<\/a> on the sea for the New Year.<\/p>\n

Turkey<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

The Turkish New Year on the main points resembles the usual one for the inhabitants of Eastern Europe, but in a slightly different tone, because winter Turkey<\/a> bears little resemblance to that hot and dusty country that is filled with thousa<\/a>nds of tourists<\/a> during summer days. This Turkey is more measured, not so scorching and richly decorated – what could be better than the subtle aroma of salty air, coupled with traditional pastries and colorful sweets?<\/p>\n

The most popular among foreign tour<\/a>ists who want to spend the New Year holidays<\/a> in Turkey<\/a> is Istanbul<\/a>, as the most Europeanized point of the country, and the cities<\/a> of the so-called Turkish Riviera with their numerous tourist complexes. In addition, visiting Turkey at this time will provide an opportunity not only to spend the holiday itself in a slightly different atmosphere, but also to visit those points of the tourist program that could not be checked off during a similar trip, but in the summer due to heat or intrusive crowds of tourists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maldives<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

The Indian Ocean is conducive to immersion in the world<\/a> of the spicy East, the subtleties of its culture, covered with a light veil of myths. The unique nature, beautiful views<\/a>, warm sea – all this is in striking contrast with a similar time period, but in the European region, and therefore the celebration of New Year's days, for example, in the Maldives will allow you to plunge headlong into a completely different world, refreshing the somewhat boring ritual of celebrating the usual New of the year. Most often, the following island<\/a>s of the Maldives archipelago are chosen for these purposes: Ari, Raa, Male or Baa. It is noteworthy that some of them have only one hotel<\/a> or resort, which creates an absolutely indescribable atmosphere of soft privacy filled with the sea breeze.<\/p>\n

Seychelles<\/h2>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

The Seychelles have long become a classic of holidays<\/a> in the Indian Ocean, implying the presence of comfort, top-notch service, original excursion<\/a> programs, pristine beaches<\/a> and colorful coral reefs. All this causes delight and satisfaction for all the guests of the island<\/a>s – the calm beauty of the ocean expanses, but the presence of at least a light entertainment program in a festive color fills the already bright days with new impressions.<\/p>\n

The celebration of the New Year can also become such an impression, which can be held in any form – as long as your imagination lasts. Often hotels<\/a> provide a special New Year's menu and invite performers who will be able to properly color the atmosphere, but New Year's Eve on the deck of a personal yacht that goes out to sea and follows a pre-selected route<\/a> is also popular, which is guaranteed to become the most beautiful screen saver for any holiday.<\/p>\n

Philippines<\/h2>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

The Philippines has hundreds of thousa<\/a>nds of islands, each of which has its own flavor, and therefore it is necessary to clearly prioritize interest<\/a>s and only then make a choice in favor of one or another place for a banal vacation or celebration of events from the category of New Year holidays<\/a>. New Year on the islands will always be different from the mainland holding such festivities. And the point is not even the presence of an ocean boundless and ferocious in its power, embracing the horizon, and not even a humid, really warm climate, in which the prospect of playing snowballs does not fit in any way. The Philippines remains the Philippines – pictures change at a fast pace, companies are noisy and invariably cheerful, New Year somewhere on the coast pleases with a breeze and sweet cocktails.<\/p>\n

Vietnam<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

The New Year, like most other holidays, is celebrated in Vietnam according to the drifting dates dictated by the lunar calendar. As a rule, these dates fall in February, but the usual Europe<\/a>an version of the celebration of the New Year is celebrated here rather palely and only to please thirsty tourists. And therefore, visiting the original holiday, of course, will leave much more emotions, especially since their ideas<\/a> are similar. In Vietnam, they do not know about the importance of the role of Christmas<\/a> trees, but no one here will argue with the importance of peach or tangerine blossoms.<\/p>\n

The branches of these trees adorn every house. The streets are also decorated, although somewhat unusual – there is no familiar illumination. It is replaced by small notes, usually on purple paper. These notes hide desires and requests. Some Vietnamese New Year traditions<\/a> may be of particular interest to foreign visitors to the country, for example, performances in the puppet theater, which is located<\/a> on the water, world-famous cockfights, as well as unusual holiday food – pies or cakes that repeat the shape of a square and a circle..<\/p>\n

Indonesia<\/a>, Bali<\/h2>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Indonesia belongs to the list<\/a> of countries that decided to take advantage of the opportunity and integrate European holidays with their traditions into their life cycle, however, this did not affect the fact that the dates more familiar to them were preserved and continue to be revered. So, in Indonesia, two completely polar New Years are celebrated in their mood. The first is for Europeans in accordance with their tastes, the second is for the indigenous population of the country, and the latter is distinguished by a certain gloominess. The fact that the year changes from 31 to 1 is not accepted by all the inhabitants of Indonesia, and therefore one should not be surprised that the celebrations on this night are usually held only in tourist area<\/a>s, especially since they are held on a grand scale and in style..<\/p>\n

For the mentioned luxury, it is worth going to the island of Bali, which turns into a huge masquerade on New Year's Eve, and it turns almost by force, since only those who have taken car<\/a>e of the presence of a costume in advance can take part in the carnival procession and the subsequent fun on the beach. A more classic New Year with candles and a Christmas tree can be found in Jakarta, which is imbued with European traditions<\/a> and tried to transform as much as possible, however, without snow and the atmosphere of winter renewal. Extreme New Year is in great demand in Lombok, where the holiday with all its attributes is transfer<\/a>red to the underwater space.<\/p>\n

Dominican Republic<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

As a rule, the very sight of a kind grandfather with a fluffy beard and familiar purple clothes inspires confidence and almost tenderness, because this image in early childhood caused so much anxiety, fear and hidden delight! True, the Dominican Santa Claus or Santa is more likely to cause laughter in any of the European guests, because a cozy pensioner with whipped beard cream, a pom-pom hat and shorts is more of a smile. What can you do – the Dominican Republic<\/a> is a rather hot country, and therefore the New Year holidays here are held in a warm summer version – with a soft tan and a pleasant sea. The Dominican Republic<\/a> adds spicy notes to the “homemade” New Year. This is manifested in everything, for example, the round dance of guests running around the Christmas tree is replaced by couples dancing sambo with abandon.<\/p>\n

Participants in the festive processions also try to keep up – feathers, rhinestones and the most noisy outfits in the rhythm of Latin America<\/a>n music. Somewhat “hot” are the traditional Dominican dishes served on New Year's Eve. So, the most delicious goa<\/a>t meat is encrusted with red wine, a ton of spices, garlic and onions, which does not make the dish less tasty, just unusual. But local cocktails, on the contrary, are quite mild in taste. The most popular are “Banana-mama” and “Coco-loco”, which are definitely worth a try. Coffee will not be out of place – real Dominican coffee, especially in the morning, when the hops are somewhat eroded from the head, and the body begins to whine pleasantly after dancing and participating in games.<\/p>\n

India, Goa<\/h2>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

India is a country that is extremely exotic and obscure for most pragmatic inhabitants of the Western world with their far from abstract criteria of life, and therefore acquaintance with examples of architecture or any other material manifestation of culture causes impatience and delight, but intangible culture and traditions continue to meet with misunderstanding. New Year in the usual meaning for European inhabitants in India is simply absent as such.<\/p>\n

True, over the past years, the tradition of at least somehow design<\/a>ating the night from 31 to 1 has nevertheless appeared, but this happens in the attributes familiar to all of the same Europe and practically does not imply Indian influence. What can not be said about the local New Year, the onset of which falls on different dates depending on the region of the country. The festival of lights, whose origin is still not entirely clear, is celebrated on a special scale and can attract new guests of the country with its brightness – lanterns, bonfires, candles.<\/p>\n

Cuba<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Cuba<\/a>n rum and cigars – everyone knows about this legendary and almost classic duet, and most are not averse to trying this tart combination in person. Cubans, in their desire to spend the outgoing year, are not much different from Europeans – a glass of champagne, however, is often replaced with a glass of the same rum, instead of ritually burning a piece of paper with obliquely written desires – grapes – one for each of the twelve strokes and one for each desire, and the usual Christmas tree is not so important, because you can decorate a palm tree. New Year in Cuba is squared, and sometimes cubed.<\/p>\n

So, instead of one tired Santa Claus or any other European enthusiast from children<\/a>‘s fairy tales, three cheerful and quite benevolent crowned magic<\/a>ians work here at once. True, Cuba also has its own New Year's features, for example, writing “letters of happiness”, in which you can describe in more than detail your own expectations for the coming year. These happy letters make up whole mountains, instead of snow, wrapping the bases of araucaria – green, regardless of the seas<\/a>on, trees that serve as Christmas trees in Cuba. You should also not forget that Cuba is primarily a maritime country, and therefore no one, fortunately, has canceled the banal white sand, warm enough sea and gentle sun.<\/p>\n
