Find out where you can cheaply relax at sea in the summer of 2019 abroad and in Russia! We have chosen the most popular destinations for relaxing by the sea and calculated for each cost index. It will help you understand where to rest is cheap and where is expensive. Compare indexes, choose a resort and fly on a vacation on a budget.
How do we calculate the index?
We calculate two indexes of the cost of rest: for vacationers on a tour and for independent tourists.
Tour rest index. For each destination we find the cheapest tours for two for 10 days. To the cost of the tour per person, we add the cost of a visa (if necessary). The result is divided by 10. We get the cost of rest per day per person.
Independent travel index. We sum up the main expenses of the tourist and divide by 10:
- Air tickets. We are looking for the cheapest round-trip flight from Moscow. Tickets can be without luggage and with transfers.
- Housing. We find double rooms at the lowest price, we do not consider hostels. Calculation per person for 10 days.
- Visa (if needed).
What do we not consider? Meals, transportation, excursions, etc. - these expenses are individual, they are difficult to calculate. Our index does not reflect all the costs of a trip, but allows you to compare the cost of a holiday by base points.
Why are tickets and tours only from Moscow considered? Firstly, most tourists fly from the capital on vacation. Secondly, the cheapest tickets and tours are usually from Moscow. If we count the indexes for departures from all cities of Russia, the review will surpass "War and Peace" in terms of volume.
And even cheaper? Can! In some cases, your vacation will cost even less than according to our calculations. You will save if:
- find a cheap one or ;
- you already have and you are going to Europe;
- fly for a holiday in the low season.
Prices updated for summer season 2019 and are indicated in Russian rubles. Indices for European countries are duplicated in euros, for Asia - in US dollars.
Exchange rate: 1 US dollar ≈ 65 RUB.

The Internet is now replete with articles from the category "Where to relax at sea abroad inexpensively." But many authors, describing the cheapness of recreation in these places, miss the most important point. Choosing the cheapest countries for tourists, the compilers of the ratings cite ridiculous prices for food and hotels as an example, but forget about the cost of the flight. And as a result, the lists of countries where it is cheaper to relax at sea abroad are headed either by Argentina or Guatemala. No doubt, these are really very inexpensive countries for sea holidays, but not for Russians. Because before you chic in Guatemala for $ 10 a day, you first need to get to it.
