He returned peaceful, relaxed and different – ​​this is how happy tourists describe the feeling of a trip to Indonesia. Indeed, the country contrasts strongly with the usual reality of a European. Take Bali, for example. While 88% of the state's population is Muslim, Hinduism has firmly established itself on the island. Eastern balance is felt in everything. Bali ranks first in the world in terms of the variety and quality of SPA procedures.

The most popular resort area in Bali is called Nusa Dua. It is located 20 minutes from the international airport. Hotels located on this coast have the status of 4-5 stars.
Beach in Nusa Dua High Quality: fine yellow sand and clear transparent waters of the ocean.
The Kuta area has rightfully earned the title of the most youthful resort in Bali thanks to a large selection of budget accommodation. Good for those who love the waves and don't mind enrolling in a surf school.

The disadvantages of holidays in Bali include high and low tides, which do not allow you to swim 24 hours a day. This natural phenomenon is least pronounced on the Jimbaran beach area. Tourists flock to the resort from all over the island for the magnificent sunset views, as well as to dine at one of the many al fresco fish restaurants.

If you need exotic, and all the popular resorts of Bali have been explored, then you need to head for resort areas Lovina and Pemuteran. First, here you can watch the dolphins. Secondly, a beach of black volcanic sand and washed by the sea, not the ocean. And most importantly, these resorts will give you the opportunity to feel the atmosphere of the island as it was a decade and a half ago.

Russian citizens can travel in Indonesia without a visa for 30 days. And when flying from Bali, you need to pay an airport tax, which is $ 16-17.

Rum, cigars, coffee and black coral jewelry are a must-have set of souvenirs from the Isles of the Free. To fly to it from Moscow is nothing - about 12 hours by direct flight. The "high" season in Cuba lasts from mid-November to early April. The average annual water temperature does not fall below + 24°C.

The number one resort in Cuba is Varadero. It really is as beautiful as they say about it: white sand, tropical plants, azure water merging with the blue sky. True, there are no attractions in Varadero, only the beach and the beach.

An hour's drive from the paradise beach is the capital - Havana. Retro cars of the 60s and 70s drive around the streets, the Capitol is built in the city center exactly like in Washington. In old Havana, tourists are attracted by the Hotel Ambos Mundos, famous for the fact that Ernest Hemingway lived and worked here. It is better to come to Havana without an overnight stay, because most hotels leave much to be desired: rooms can be small, without windows.

The jungle, the golden beaches of Rio de Janeiro - all this, like a magnet, attracts millions of tourists from all over the world to the country. In addition, the beaches in the country are all world-famous, the sea is warm and clear, and Brazilian cuisine, as well as Brazilian women, is invariably spoken by tourists with a breath. Another popular attraction for tourists is the carnival.

IN major cities the traveler always has a choice: to stay for a penny, in a shabby Soviet-style hostel, or expensive, but in a new private hotel of a good standard. The only drawback: the road to this beautiful country from Russia is long and expensive.

Tourist Mecca of Georgia - Adjara. Both lovers of beach classics and adventure lovers will satisfy their hunger here. Batumi has a large selection of hotels and restaurants, free sunbeds on the beaches. A seven-kilometer bike path stretches along the sea. The beach is made of large pebbles, but rubber slippers will save the situation.

There is a tower with free chacha in the center of the capital of Adjara. But the local advises to go to the villages for the right Georgian vodka: “There it is real. Under 60 degrees. Another mandatory point of the program, a funicular ride from the windows of which you can see both the new areas of Batumi and the sleeping ones.

30 minutes from Batumi is the Botanical Garden, which has no analogues in the entire CIS. Slowly strolling through the park, you will eventually come out to the sea. By the way, free wi-fi is available for guests of the garden.

Two hours drive from Batumi national park"Mtirala" with several ecological paths in the mountains. One leads to a waterfall, the water to which is sweet like nectar, and the second to a mountain lake, swimming in which is very refreshing.

The country, also known as Montenegro, is small and even for a short vacation you can see all the cities and beaches. They usually start from the capital and the main tourist center Montenegro - Budva. It has everything: beaches, discos, restaurants and bars, casinos, sports grounds.

Two kilometers from Budva is the recalcitrant beach "Ploce", made with concrete slabs on the edge of the cape. Due to the fact that there is neither sand nor pebbles, the sea is clean and deep. The transparency of the water reaches 30 meters.

Almost on the border with Albania is the Big Beach resort - a dozen and a half kilometers of gray volcanic sand. The place is ideal for families with children. And due to the abundance of waves, the place is chosen by kitesurfers.

Old Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also a must-see. The city is located at the foot of a 300-meter hill, on the shore of the bay. Compared to Budva, it is very humid and stuffy here. The town has relaxing holiday. Being one of the centers of navigation Adriatic Sea, Kotor hosts yachts of all stripes.

Thailand, in which everything tourist is put on stream, is difficult to call "exotic". But the country has rightfully earned the status of a destination offering the best price / quality ratio for foreigners. Both for those who come to improve their health, and for extreme people in the race for sex tours and round-the-clock parties.

A couple of years ago, the Thai authorities took care of the cleanliness of the beaches. All sunbeds and umbrellas were removed from them, they were cleared of annoying sellers and fast food kiosks. Now Thai beaches look more like perfect catalog pictures. The two main resorts of the country are Phuket and Pattaya. Both with bubbling nightlife and gastronomic diversity.

Behind the best diving and diving safari must go to the Similian Islands. There is an abundance of soft and hard corals, reef fish, as well as larger representatives of the underwater world: blue rays and whale sharks.

A country where there is always someone to talk to in Russian. Many Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians with Jewish roots migrated here and they did it not in vain. Israel boasts access to two seas at once: the Red and Mediterranean, historical heritage, quality service and warm winters.

If your soul asks for diving, then you need to go to Eilat, hire a coach and snorkel in the Red Sea. Tel Aviv, located on the coast mediterranean sea, will be remembered for excursions, rich nightlife and sociable people on the beach. For privacy and more budget accommodation, you need to go to neighboring Netanya. By the way, in this city the largest number Russian-speaking population.

A win-win option is a trip to the Dead Sea. This is an opportunity to undergo treatment in one of the medical centers, lie down for 20 minutes on the waters of the saltiest sea in the world (it can’t be longer). Each resort hotel has solariums, and the best of them have full-fledged SPA centers with heated water from the Dead Sea. Relaxation is guaranteed, but those who want to improve their health are advised by doctors to travel for at least 14 days.

A gastronomic paradise for meat eaters and lovers of spices in different variations. In the North of the country, preference is given to pilaf, fried meat, dough products and flat cakes. The south is famous for its elaborate rice and vegetable dishes, as well as excellent desserts. Tea is the main drink of the country. It starts with him, and he also ends the meal.

In the popular cities of Bukhara, Khiva and Termez, you can touch and feel the real ancient East. Housing and food at reasonable prices. Dozens of direct flights fly to Tashkent from many Russian cities.

It is rarely overcast here. wide sandy beaches make the country perfect place recreation for lovers beautiful photos on Instagram.

As well as a glass of authentic Moroccan tea in a coffee shop on Jemaa el-Fna square. Thalassotherapy, in which the Moroccans know a lot, will help to fully relax with every cell.

« beach holiday at the highest level," is how tourists characterize the Dominican Republic. The country is known for the cleanest sea and beaches of white sand, located in lagoons, sheltered from the waves of the ocean by coral reefs. While the Dominican Republic cannot boast of historical sights. There are only those in the capital of Santo Domingo.

The national drink of the Dominican Republic is rum, more than 15 varieties of it are produced here. The Dominican national cocktail is called Mamajuana. It is prepared from rum, red house wine, bark of a special kind of trees, honey and bush branches.

Russia is a rich country, from the point of view of a tourist. In our country, you can relax under palm trees or high in the mountains, see the ancient rock paintings or fields dotted with menhirs. Tourists are waiting for cities that are unlike any other in the world or, on the contrary, similar to the greatest European capitals(St. Petersburg is very reminiscent of Paris, and London, and Amsterdam at the same time). But many tourists believe that only a foreign holiday helps to completely relax and give a truly vivid experience.
