What do you need to organize a good seaside vacation at the end of summer? About $500 (the average price for tours to Turkey at this time of year). A week of free time. A company of friends (but that's optional). A good mood and a suitcase packed on time.
Turkey, where almost everything is all inclusive
To begin with, it is worth noting that August in this country is a very hot time in every sense. Therefore, if you managed to get a last-minute tour, it is a huge stroke of luck. On average, the cost of a week-long tour for one person is about $500, often higher, and it is extremely rare to find it cheaper. This is because August is the peak of the tourist season.
The air temperature at Turkish resorts can reach 35 degrees, and near the water almost 30 (after these words you can clearly hear the splash of the sea). The beaches and sea are clean, there are municipal and private locations, but this does not greatly affect the cleanliness.
The most common resorts
Antalya. The most popular resort in the Mediterranean, like Yalta in Crimea. Beaches are sandy and pebbly. Rich excursion and entertainment program. The airport is 20 minutes from the city.
Kemer. Pebble beach, incredibly clean sea. Because of this, there are a huge number of water activities, a paradise for extreme sports enthusiasts. In its vicinity there are wonderful villages for family vacations. Excursions include: hiking to ancient cities, a cable car to the mountains, and a trout farm.
Marmaris, Bodrum, Kusadasi and many other cities will welcome you with their beautiful beaches and hotels.
Arabian Night, or vacation in Egypt
The weather in this country will please you only if you like very hot weather. The water temperature will not rise above +29 degrees, but the air temperature can reach +38 and possibly higher. The dry and hot climate does not scare tourists from temperate latitudes, but on the contrary sparks curiosity. The cost of a tour to Egypt, by the way, will be $485 per person for 6 nights. And the hotel will be 4 stars.
Popular resorts
Hurghada. Beaches are sandy, the bottom is clean. The sea is often shallow and you have to wade about 200 meters to reach depth. The city has several huge water parks, aquariums and a dolphinarium. Excursions on a boat with a transparent bottom are trendy. Among interesting museums, they recommend the Museum of Sand Sculptures and Mini Egypt Park.
Sharm el-Sheikh. Just the name evokes something rich and beautiful. Here even corals grow right by the shore because they can afford to. True, this complicates swimming; you can't do it everywhere. And you should check with the hotel administration where exactly their beach is and where the pontoon is from which you can get into the water. At your service are a huge number of diving centers with experienced instructors. As well as interesting excursions to Ras Mohammed or the Colored Canyon.
In fact, there are a huge number of resorts, as well as entertainment programs there. The main thing is to know in advance how much money you have and base your plans on that. But there is no better idea in life than planning a vacation and a trip to relax at the end of summer.
