The Black Sea coast stretches from northwest to southeast, famous for its healing mud and mineral waters, rocks and sandy beaches, coniferous forests, waterfalls, lakes, botanical parks and man-made attractions, so many prefer this unique place For . All that remains is to decide where to relax on the Black Sea in Russia inexpensively: in Sochi - with a humid and periodically rainy climate, with many health resorts, in quiet and deserted “tangerine” Abkhazia, Anapa - the most suitable area for children, mild and stable in weather, Gelendzhik with its bays and bays, or some other picturesque region, in order to get a lot of unforgettable impressions and pleasure at an affordable price.

The advantage of a holiday within the country is that you do not need to apply for a visa and worry about exchange rates if you cross the border. What should tourists pay attention to when going on vacation to the Black Sea coast? It is necessary to take into account what services, including travel, food, accommodation, treatment, as well as variety of recreation, are included in this or that voucher.

Sochi

Sochi is famous for the warmest weather in all of Russia. Vacationers will enjoy the view of stormy streams and many caves, spend time among beautiful exotic flowers and unusual plants - rhododendron, vines, cherry laurel trees, and thanks to the cleanest air and mineral waters, they will receive a speedy recovery. Forest, mountains, fountains, children's slides and playgrounds, beach and sports equipment rentals, equipped access to the sea - all these attributes Sochi resorts very attractive for families with children, youth and sports enthusiasts, creating many opportunities for good recreation.

Comfortable modern hotels, comparable in service to large hotels, make the resort increasingly popular and attractive.

During the preparation for the Winter Olympics, significant sums were spent on the improvement of Sochi, so the abundance of places for vacationers, with a wide range of prices, is a distinctive feature of the city.

Health improvement, treatment, family holiday, holding seminars, organizing romantic trips, unique ones - all this is provided to the guests of the world-famous resort.

When going to a resort, it is worth considering options for rented housing: a private sector, a room, or it could also be sharing an apartment with the owner near the sea, and therefore the daily cost of such a “place” will be from 350 rubles per day per person, in depending on conditions. A turnkey apartment twenty minutes walk from the sea can cost 1,200 rubles per person, and closer to the shore - about 1,500 rubles. Quiet places with an outbuilding in the courtyard of a private house do not differ in cost from ordinary “Khrushchev” buildings, you just need to take into account the surrounding environment - neighbors, construction work, the presence of noisy roads.

How much does it cost to relax in Sochi if you stay in a hotel? Guest houses located a five-minute walk from the sea will cost from 1000 rubles and above. Houses in the private sector - 1200-1500 rubles. A room for two in a mini-hotel room, with amenities common to everyone - about 1500-1700 rubles per day. Boarding houses and more comfortable rooms will cost from 2,000 rubles. Canteens are relatively cheap - lunch costs from 150 rubles, which cannot be said about cafes that charge three times more for the same dishes.

Anapa

  • cinemas,
  • clubs,
  • restaurants,
  • guest houses.

Therapeutic hill, estuary and hydrogen sulfide mud will help improve your health. , and those who like the mild climate of this region. Gentle slopes into the water, half a meter deep at a great distance from the shore and the absence of stones allow children to have fun in the water for the little ones: diving, exploring sea ​​bottom with fins and a snorkel, learn to swim.

The cheapest rooms in Anapa can be rented within a half-hour walk from the coast (within 200 rubles per person, without intermediaries, which increase the cost by 20% or more), but you must be prepared to share a kitchen and bathroom with other guests or hosts .

If you arrive in Anapa in June or September, the cost of housing here will be 30-50% lower compared to prices in July and August.

Inexpensive recreation centers are a good option for families with children, including three meals a day and partial amenities, which does not exceed the cost of 1,500 rubles per person. By purchasing products from farmers, and not at the market, you can significantly save on food.

Gelendzhik

-->

Rest zone of this region- this is an area of ​​pine plantations, famous for the mountains, clean air enriched with ozone, which stretches for one hundred kilometers along the sea coast. Visitors have a fairly wide choice of places for active recreation, as well as to send their children to camps where carnival evenings and fireworks are held.

Gelendzhik is a kind of sanatorium specializing in the treatment

  • cardiovascular
  • respiratory diseases,
  • nervous system,
  • problems with the musculoskeletal system.

Improved city infrastructure, recreation centers and health resorts modern type, five-star hotels and small hotels offer a lot of opportunities for organizing holidays in accordance with any requests of tourists. There are water parks, as well as inexpensive cafes where you can taste the freshest seafood delicacies.

Most hotels operate on an all-inclusive basis. If you are interested in how much it costs to relax in Gelendzhik, then first you need to decide on transport: flight from Moscow - 10 thousand rubles per person, travel by train will cost from 2000 rubles, but the cost of traveling by car must be calculated independently, taking into account overnight stays at a hotel.

The weekly cost of a tour to Gelendzhik, including accommodation in a sanatorium with meals for two, will be at least about 32 thousand rubles, which is far from profitable compared to a voucher and hotel accommodation. A popular choice for tourists is a comfortable holiday with an average distance from the coast, costing about 1,500 rubles per day with one meal. Thus, focusing on the conditions of the Gelendzhik resorts, we can confidently assume that an amount of 12,000 rubles or more will be enough to spend a week on vacation, if the tourist’s needs are relatively modest and visits to expensive restaurants are not expected.

Abkhazia

Abkhazia is a small, cozy country in the northeastern part of the Black Sea coast. The mountain-sea landscape played an important role in shaping the climate of Abkhazia. For most of the year, the weather remains pleasant and warm, so if you come here at any time, vacationers will receive maximum inspiration and extremely positive impressions. Originality, friendliness, Russian-speaking population (everyone knows the language), unique natural factors - these are very pleasant distinctive characteristics of Abkhazia.

  • exciting excursions to the mountains,
  • roads to mysterious caves,
  • to waterfalls with stunning views,
  • crystal clear lakes,
  • incredible journeys through the Colchis forest,
  • paragliding over the sea,
  • horseback riding through the groves.

Abkhazia, which has 170 healing springs with mineral waters, it is considered to be a sanatorium and health resort: here they provide treatment for physical and psychological ailments.

If you are asking a question about how much it costs, then this amount depends on where you are going to travel from and how much you intend to spend: will you buy kebabs, pay for entertainment for children and adults? It must be said that products in Abkhazia are relatively inexpensive. In general, each purchase of 1000 rubles in a local supermarket in Abkhazia will cost 1200 rubles. A lavish lunch will cost from 150 rubles per person, which applies to average-priced cafes. Only in the evening do prices jump up by 30-40%, reaching restaurant levels.

In the warm season, visitors will be pleased with peaches, watermelons and melons, and the hospitality and conditions for vacationers only improve from year to year. IN winter time hotels in Abkhazia offer rooms costing from 450 rubles, in the autumn - from 800 to 1200 rubles, in the summer season, housing 500 m away from the coast costs at least 1500-2000 rubles. Boarding houses with their luxurious complexes, including a spa and a swimming pool, operating on an all-inclusive basis, for two people will cost 2,500 rubles per day. The cost of a house in the private sector does not exceed 300 rubles per person, but depending on this nuance, how many places and with what amenities the housing is provided to you, the cost can vary between 800-2500 rubles for two.

Using the opportunity to stay in the private sector, guests have the chance to study more closely the traditions of the Abkhazians, at any time buy high-quality and inexpensive wine, fruit, agricultural products, kebabs (only 80 rubles for 300 g!), communicate with nature and live like a “savage” . Visitors need to take into account the terrain stretching from home to the coast: if it is mountainous, then the journey in the opposite direction will significantly exceed the stated time.

Tuapse

Tuapse is a health resort city with 250 sanatoriums, with a subtropical mild climate, distinguished by relict forests and exclusive attractions. There are many camps in Tuapse located near boarding houses, which is convenient for families vacationing. Visitors are offered natural health remedies, as well as the most extensive list of attractions and entertainment, ranging from water activities, diving, catamaran rentals and parachute flights.

Swimming time here lasts from until the very end, since the upper layers of water warm up to 25 degrees. Tourists enjoy visiting museums, cinemas, walking along rocks with streams, and finding all kinds of recreation. Forests occupy about 80% of the area of ​​Tuapse. Canyons, waterfalls, landscapes, natural attractions - all this is offered to tourists. The city has both public and private beaches with a developed coastline.

The cost of a week's trip to Tuapse for two with a flight from Moscow, for example, is 40,000 rubles. Meanwhile, a separate train route will cost 2,300 rubles per person, air travel - 5,000 rubles, which must be taken into account when purchasing a ticket. The level of comfortable living conditions in this region is not too high, for example, in comparison with Sochi, and the cost of housing here is also appropriate - compared to the Anapa resorts - lower by 20%.

When going to Tuapse, you need to have an idea of ​​where exactly to stay so that the living conditions are enjoyable and the vacation does not become a disappointment, which may be due to chemical production in the city. Most vacationers prefer to rent housing in resort villages in the Tuapse region, located far from the city center, where there is a chemical fertilizer plant. From Tuapse you can easily get to other resorts at any time. Housing prices are formed in proportion to the distance of the coast from the house, but they especially increase due to the comfort of the rooms: in the same hotel the difference in the cost of an economy class room and a luxury room is five times different. At a distance of 500 to 1000 m from the sea, house prices can remain at the same level, and the farthest hotel rooms will cost half as much as coastal ones. Guest houses with parking lots, located a twenty-minute walk from the coast, are offered at prices from 200 to 500 rubles per day per room.

As you can see, rest on Black Sea coast can be relatively inexpensive and interesting, and the impressions from it will last for many, many years. Summarizing the above, it should be noted that choosing a place to relax is not only a matter of financial capabilities, but also of personal preferences. If small villages and the villages are not replete with entertainment establishments, these are the places where tourists who do not expect to rent can relax on the Black Sea cheaply and with relative comfort hotel rooms downtown.

Housing will cost more if you use the services of intermediaries. If the cost of products is resort towns is the same as in many other cities of Russia, then kiosks on the coast can offer everything at prices three times higher than usual. Will you buy ready-made meals or stand at the stove, are you ready to do laundry by hand, or can’t imagine existing without essential household appliances? Can you give up resort attractions and entertainment? And if not, how much are you willing to pay for them? You decide. Have a pleasant and unforgettable holiday!
