Where is the best place to relax abroad in August. Where to relax in August abroad? Warm countries, where in August you can have an inexpensive vacation on the beach with children or alone

August crowns the peak of the tourist season, as in all European resorts the weather is ideal for relaxation. It is quite difficult to make a mistake with the weather, but overpaying for the rest can be very significant. Often, tourists go to countries where it is very hot and too crowded, instead of choosing the options that are more optimal in terms of price / quality ratio.

We conducted a small study, during which we identified the countries where Russian tourists plan to fly on vacation in 2019. Then we put them on our own rating, which is based on an assessment of comfort, as well as weather and financial conditions. Here's what we got:

And here is where it would be worth going according to our estimates:

Based on these data, we can single out the countries where you should not fly:

• Tunisia
• Vietnam
• Maldives

And, conversely, the directions that are undeservedly forgotten by tourists in August:

• Croatia
• Italy
• Bulgaria

Beach vacation

Turkey

Hot and clear weather is perfect for a beach holiday. Here you will find a huge selection of hotels for any budget, a fairly high level of service (if we are talking about 4-5 * hotels) and not bad. You can find fault only with too high daytime temperatures (up to +36), gas chamber on excursions and Turkish flavor.

Bulgaria

Bulgaria enjoys itself due to the low price tag for tours and an excellent combination of price / quality. Sandy beaches, warm sea, quality hotels, sunny weather and reasonable prices are what tourists need for families with children. In terms of weather conditions, everything is very similar to Sochi and Crimea, but Bulgarian resorts, unlike domestic ones, offer high-quality 4-5 * hotels, where there will certainly be high-quality service, children's animation, a special menu and all-inclusive.

The only serious disadvantage is the weak excursion program, which is aimed at an inexperienced tourist and children.

Crimea

Crimea continues to be imposed on television, but it does not get better quality and better because of this. It really has everything for a good rest: curative climate, sunny weather, warm sea, sightseeing and excursions. But the mentality and the financial crisis do not allow us to improve the service if the client is already traveling and pays decent money. Therefore, going to Crimea, we advise you to forget about claims for the service and enjoy the fact that you have the opportunity to go back 8-10 years by a time machine. But on the other hand, in August there is really gorgeous weather here, which will not ruin your vacation!

Greece

Greece tempts all tourists with its natural beauty, cuisine and beautiful excursions. The excursion program, however, is not always interesting and rich, but there is always an opportunity to choose the desired direction. For those who want to travel a lot and actively, it is better to go to Crete, and for those who love solitude, choose smaller islands (Kos, Corfu). The mild climate and short flights are popular with family travelers.

Cyprus

If you are only interested in a quality hotel, warm sea and sandy beach - the resorts of Cyprus are waiting for you with open arms. the island is quite sparse, but if you like to explore all sorts of antiquities on your own, you will find something to do. Ancient temples, monasteries, divided into two parts Nicosia, Northern Cyprus (territory of Turkey) - all this may well fill your leisure time. Hotel service is tailored for the Germans and the British, so the level of service is consistently high, as are the prices for hotels. The main disadvantage is hot weather conditions. In August, the thermometer can approach the 40-degree mark.

Italy

Italy's beach resorts reach their peak in August. Sandy beaches, water parks, amusement parks, pizzerias - everything you need for a carefree beach holiday. If you have extra free days, you can visit Venice, Rome or Florence.

Spain (Costa Brava, Costa Dorada)

The mild Mediterranean climate, the European level of service, the richest excursion program in Europe, the acceptable level of prices at the resorts are the main reasons why Spanish resorts are in demand. In August, the water in the Balearic Sea reaches its highest temperature, so it is very difficult to find cons in the Spanish direction. Perhaps the only reason holding back Russian tourists is the cost of package tours.

Tenerife

In August, comfortable clear weather reigns in Tenerife, and the water in the ocean warms up to almost maximum values. The island offers tourists ideal conditions for a beach holiday and the opportunity to independently organize their leisure time. Here you will find stunningly beautiful and diverse nature, a large number of attractions. The chance to see the killer whale show alone is worth visiting this island.

We recommend families with children aged 6 and older to relax here, since at this age they already show interest in excursions, and there are a lot of them here, and one is more interesting than the other. The cost of package tours is off scale due to the high cost of a direct flight, but if you organize the trip yourself, you can find much more budget options.

Exotic countries

If you like more exotic destinations, then you will have to upset you a little. Since August is not the best time to visit the Asian and Caribbean region.

The Asian region at the end of summer is very prone to monsoons and rains, therefore, in most of the expensive resorts, the weather is not stable. Relatively good weather in August can be found on and.

The countries of the Caribbean (Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba) are similar in climate to summer Turkey, only there is more humid and a high probability of typhoons, showers almost every day, which are replaced by a very hot sun.

Beach holidays in August, as well as in July, are possible at all resorts of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. You are guaranteed to get hot weather and warm sea.

The best beach holiday in the Mediterranean in August

As in July, it is very hot in Turkey, Cyprus, mainland Greece. It is preferable to go to the northern Greek islands - Corfu, Thassos. If you still want to go to Cyprus, pay attention to Paphos where the weather is cooler than in other resorts in Cyprus. In Turkey, it is cooler on the shores of the Aegean Sea - Kusadasi, Izmir.

If you are going to Italy, then it is better to choose the mainland, and not Sicily, since the mainland resort of Rimini is located much north of Sicily and therefore it is cooler there.

It is very hot in Spain on the Costa del Sol, although the water near this coast still does not warm very well due to the cold sea currents and the proximity of the cool Atlantic.

In August, the sea will also warm up off the coast of Portugal. The water temperature will be comfortable in Croatia, Montenegro.

At the Black Sea resorts, the most comfortable rest will be in the Crimea. Low humidity, warm sea.

It should be borne in mind that at the end of August in the Black Sea resorts there may already be cool evenings and nights.

A Thai vacation, like a pastime in any tropical country, is dependent on the rainy season. Usually heavy rainfall occurs during the summer period. However, the cheapness of tours at this time attracts travelers, so they are looking for leisure options in case of bad weather. Thailand and its surroundings in August are characterized by high humidity - this is the peak of the rainy season. What to do at such moments for tourists who have decided on a trip?

The August climate in the Thai space is leveled, individual resorts are becoming similar to each other in terms of weather conditions. The country is dominated by a contrasting changeable atmosphere: first the hot sun shines, which in half an hour is replaced by thunderclouds.

Showers are daily, but they are short-lived. Often they become a real salvation - the air temperature during the day reaches +30 degrees in Phuket and Krabi, Pattaya, Bangkok and Koh Samui up to +32. At night, the thermometers drop to +20 degrees.

Reviews of the weather in August indicate that you should not neglect sunscreen - despite cloudy weather, ultraviolet rays are very aggressive. The likelihood of getting a burn increases even more, since due to the apparent coolness after the rain, the heating of the body is not felt. However, a waterproof raincoat is indispensable. Short but heavy showers can get wet through.

Chart of temperature and number of rainy days in August by resort

The average water temperature in all resort areas reaches +28 degrees. But you need to pay attention not to its warming up, but to the possibility of the appearance of waves, to the ebb and flow. This is the main criterion for choosing a vacation spot for August tourists who want to spend leisure time on the beach.

Pastime

The correct selection of a resort for your future vacation will make your vacation in Thailand in August memorable and not boring at all. There are activities in every part of the country to suit every traveler's needs.

Phuket

Swimming in Phuket territory is not the best pastime. Despite the fact that the winds begin to subside, they are still present, which contributes to the formation of treacherous currents and high waves. Therefore, part of the coast on the island is replete with red flags, which signify a ban on sailing.
Reviews of tourists indicate that the most calm for this interval are the beach areas of Panwa and Nai Yang. However, during this period professionals in such sports as surfing and kiting come here. They took a fancy to the western part of the atoll. Ordinary travelers, on the contrary, choose the eastern direction, where sea waves are somewhat reduced.
Among other entertainments, visits to national parks are in demand. It is during this period that many plants bloom. In addition, visits to reptile farms and plantation zoos are popular. Rainy weather in Thailand in August will not interfere with shopping. During the summer period, the Thais have a huge sale. Discounts in a number of outlets reach 70%.

The circus show "Fantasea" is also in demand during the August days. It is attractive, first of all, because the main actors in the theater troupe are elephants. You can also spend rainy days visiting the many spas and massage parlors. In the evenings, foreigners go to cafes and restaurants. The small number of people allows you to spend time in a more relaxed atmosphere.

Fishing is worth mentioning separately. During this interval, schools of tuna and barracuda approach the shores of the island, the capture of which is desirable for many anglers. Especially desperate fishermen are not afraid of going to sea on boats, then the catch will be much richer. But in a number of places and from the shore it will be possible to catch prey.

Pattaya

Pattaya in August is not very suitable for swimming. The water becomes very muddy and dirty, which repels not only ordinary people, but also diving enthusiasts. Diving visibility is very poor.
The bustle of the streets, usual for the high season, has been reduced, it will be possible to organize more relaxed leisure. However, the center of the region still appears noisy and crowded during this period, there are still many entertainment events here. It is not only discos and festivals, but also a colorful costume show in the orchid garden located in the village of Nong Nooch, performances by the transvestites of the Alcazar group and a theatrical holiday dedicated to the cultural traditions of the state.
The main leisure of tourists is aimed at visiting exotic parks, farms and other excursions. Fortunately, rain is not a hindrance to most of them.

Samui

Whose criterion is good weather conditions, then of all local resorts, it is this recreation area in 2019 that steadily holds first place. Precipitation here is two to three times less than in the previous paragraphs. For those who are planning a vacation with children, Koh Samui will be the best option. But divers will not be happy with this place - the ebb and flow disturb the water, so visibility for diving is not suitable.

The same natural phenomenon caused a lot of jellyfish on the shore. They are not poisonous, but their bite can cause allergic reactions. Therefore, the water should be approached with caution.

All Thailand celebrates the Queen's birthday in August. This happens on the 12th. The celebration is accompanied by festivals, colorful processions, street decoration, and ends with bright fireworks that are launched throughout the Thai space.

conclusions

Whether it is worth going to this country in the last summer month, the assessment of the positive and negative sides will help to orientate.

Pros:

• outflow of tourists, streets are no longer noisy and crowded;
• reduction in prices for vouchers and a number of other services;
• the opportunity to fish successfully.

Minuses:

• almost daily rains, winds and waves;
• sunburn problems if the sky is overcast;
• high humidity.

Looking at the list of advantages and disadvantages, you can see that the ratio is the same. The final choice - whether to go to Thailand at the end of the summer or not - is up to the traveler himself and depends on the personal requirements for the vacation.

July and August are traditionally a hot holiday season. Hot both literally and figuratively. There are many opportunities for a good vacation during this period. We will try to briefly tell you about the most interesting travel destinations at this time, more precisely for a beach holiday.

July, August, beach holidays - a great combination and a lot of options. But it is probably no secret that Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia are the most popular countries for Russians this summer month. During this period, the listed countries become Russian-speaking. Someone finds this a plus, someone a minus, but regardless of this, the temperature at these resorts is very high, and the weather as a whole is favorable for swimming in the sea and enjoying the sun.

The record holder for the heat here is Egypt, +40 +45 degrees are quite common. But you shouldn't be afraid. The climate in this African country is very dry, and as a result, the high temperature is tolerated much easier than in Moscow or St. Petersburg. The water temperature in the Red Sea is on average +26 +29 degrees.

Turkey and Tunisia are slightly cooler. Here, in July, the average monthly temperature is around + 33 + 35C, the sea warms up to + 27C. It gets a little hotter in August.

If you don't like the intense heat, you can go to the beaches of Europe - Italy, Spain, the Balkans. Here you will find a warm sea and a comfortable temperature for beach idleness + 27 + 29C. What else is good about European resorts is that swimming and sunbathing can be successfully combined with sightseeing holidays. The possibilities for this are countless.

Young people will love the riotous discos of Ibizi and the carefree atmosphere of Cyprus and Malta. During the day - the sea and the beach, in the evening - to the detachment. If you are traveling with children, we recommend Costa Dorada (Spain), its Port Aventura amusement park will not leave a single kid disappointed, as well as an adult. In general, hotels and beaches in Spain are able to satisfy any, even the most demanding taste.

If you want a little more coolness, both in the air and in the water, but so that everything is, as they say at the highest level, visit Portugal and its famous island of Madeira. Temperature +24 + 25C is the best fit for walking through the tasting rooms. The main thing is not to get carried away.

And of course, Montenegro and Croatia are waiting for you with their benevolent and hospitable people and just an incredible number of attractions and natural beauties. Water + 25C, air + 28C. It is all the more pleasant that Russians do not need a visa to enter these countries.

The cost of the flight from Moscow to Podgorica, from about 6.600 rubles for search from Avisales

The cost of living from about 550 rubles / day for search from Hotelloo

We shouldn't forget about Israel either. In addition to beach holidays and excursion programs, you can also improve your health at the resorts of the Dead Sea.

The cost of the flight from Moscow to Tel Aviv, from about 5,500 rubles for search from Avisales

Current special offers from airlines

And of course, remember that if Egypt and Tunisia are not the best countries to visit on your own, then Turkey, Spain, Italy, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and the rest of Europe have everything to make an independent trip through them comfortable and unforgettable. True, it must be admitted that it is more expensive here than in Southeast Asia, especially in terms of delicious food. But is this an obstacle for those who go for the maximum amount of vivid impressions?

Enjoy your stay!
