Before the New Year, vacation prices are rising every day. But you can always save money.

• Choose another arrival city. It is cheaper to get to the resort by local transport (plane, bus, train, ferry).
• Look for hotels not in popular places, but next to them. The neighboring city or province has the same sea and sun, but prices are lower and the people are kinder.
• When looking for housing, don't limit yourself to standard search engines. Try couchsurfing, Airbnb, or renting locally.
• Eat in cafes where there are many locals. It's cheaper and tastier there. And don’t forget about supermarkets: sometimes it’s easier to buy food and cook it yourself.
• Believe in adventure and be open to people. This not only adds vivid memories, but also saves a lot if you're lucky.
