A vacation on the Black Sea coast can be made less expensive
The well-known health resort and children's vacation spot Anapa is packed with small mini-hotels. There are also plenty of offers in the surrounding villages of Vityazevo and Dzhemete, where the holiday, of course, is inferior to the city one, but they have undeniable advantages. Private sector does not mean bad. Instead of renting a chalet by the pool with a sea view for a couple of days, you can spend at least ten days in the 'cramped' conditions of a cozy small room in a mini-hotel somewhere in the center of the private sector. The compromise in comfort is incomparable to the savings.
Private does not mean bad; nowadays there is almost no 'grandmother's' housing with outdoor amenities. The benefits of civilization – air conditioning, refrigerator, satellite TV – have reached the most remote places. If you search well, you can even find a place with Wi-Fi. In that case, you won't have to give up your bad habits and keep your finger on the pulse of life. The only thing you have to put up with is the neighbors, and the worse your choice, the more neighbors there will be. But these lovely hotels have such green courtyards with vineyards. And homemade Caucasian cuisine! In the evening, shashlik, which, by the way, you can cook yourself.
Walk more – walking is good for your health! In the evening, instead of going to a fancy restaurant, go to the beach and enjoy the twinkling stars and the moonlit path. Instead of jeep safaris in the mountains, you can try fishing in the open sea or go on excursions. In Anapa, a trip to honey apiaries is very popular, as well as walking tours of the resort's historical sites. But entertainment is not everything that makes a good quality vacation.
The undeniable advantages of visiting cultural landmarks are enriching your mind with useful information. As a rule, guides are quite experienced, with well-spoken speech, and can capture the audience's attention. Moreover, they are very interesting storytellers. And considering that such programs are quite cheap, they fit perfectly into the 'menu' of vacation during the crisis.
You can, of course, forgo any entertainment altogether and spend all your vacation time lying on the beach. For this, you need to choose the private sector of Dzhemete, a small resort village known for its magnificent beaches with sand dunes, cozy mini-hotels, and the absence of 'heavy summer entertainment' that interferes with enjoying the whisper of the waves. If you are uncomfortable with deserted beaches but want less noise, then the village of Vityazevo is a choice without compromises. Since the village is quite large, there are many vacationers, the beach is beautiful, sandy, open sea, and a moderate amount of animation.
An undoubted advantage of vacationing in resort villages is the affordability of housing prices. For example, an equally comfortable room in the private sector will be a third cheaper than in the city.
So what does vacation during the crisis promise? First of all, a change of scenery. This year, vacation spots will be chosen especially carefully, weighing all pros and cons. And price will now come first. Knowing this, it seems to me that the vacation spots themselves, through their owners, directors, and managers, will make their move and pay more attention to the quality of service and the client's mood, for whom there will now be a fierce competition. Perhaps the crisis will teach us to value clients differently even in the height of the season.
