Earlier, when our mothers were young andgrandmothers, most people were looking forward to the summer to go on a long-awaited vacation to the sea. All the beaches of the Krasnodar Territory and the Crimean coast were densely occupied by vacationers. However, now it is considered almost bad manners to vacation in the summer. Why waste precious vacation days during the season when it is already too hot? It would be much more practical to arrange a trip to the sea in late autumn or winter, when large cities lack solar heat! Many people face a natural question: where to go on vacation in the winter? Now all borders are open to us, and the only thing we have to think about is the cost of the vacation and individual tolerance of long flights. Otherwise, there is complete freedom of action in choosing the most exotic destinations.
Egypt
It's warm in Egypt all year round!In summer it is even too hot, so people with heart disease should not tempt fate and not visit this beautiful country at the height of solar activity. Even in the shade, the temperature rarely falls below 40 degrees. The ideal time to travel there is from October to April. The most popular destinations are Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. It is preferable to go to Hurghada with children, since the sea near the coast is very shallow and there is much less living creatures in the water than in other areas of Egypt. People who love the fauna and flora of the Red Sea usually go to Sharm el-Sheikh, because the underwater world of those places is literally mesmerizing! Therefore, the opportunity to go snorkeling and diving attracts tourists from all over the world. Last year, Egypt's position as the most visited country in winter was slightly shaken due to cases of shark attacks on vacationers. But, as representatives of the tourism business assure, the beaches of all hotels are now equipped with strong steel nets, through which sharks will no longer be able to approach the coastal waters. In addition to beach holidays, Egypt has much more to offer, because it is a country with a very ancient history. From Hurghada, it is easier to get to Luxor, the ancient capital of Egypt, by bus. But you can go to Cairo if you are on holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh. In general, Egyptian tour programs are very diverse, and everyone will certainly find entertainment to their taste.
India
The second most popular holiday destinationin winter is a state with a short name Goa in the southwest of India. The winter season in Goa lasts from December to March, although many travelers have fallen in love with this place so much that they are ready to go there even in May, when the air temperature exceeds 36 degrees and high humidity remains. Everything is very cheap in Goa: for example, you can live a whole week in Goa for the cost of an ordinary dinner in a not very expensive restaurant in Moscow. Apparently, this is an important fact that more and more Russians prefer to vacation there in winter.
Thailand
The next country where, having visited it once,want to come back again and again, is Thailand. Truly, a paradise! Endless kilometers of gorgeous beaches with the purest white sand, friendly residents, always smiling happily, wonderful architectural monuments - these are just a few reasons why it is worth visiting Thailand. Someone prefers Pattaya, someone passionately loves the islands of Phuket and Samui; do not doubt, and you will definitely find your favorite place there! Thailand is not very big, if you want, you can easily travel around it in two weeks of vacation. But it is better to come there more often, each time discovering it anew! Of course, the flight is quite expensive, and the flight there is long, eight hours from Moscow. But it is really worth it!
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka (translated from Sanskrit -"Blessed land") is also on the list of countries that comes to mind when the question arises "where to go to the sea in winter?". Tourism in this country is a very profitable part in comparison with other sectors of the economy. The most popular resort cities among travelers are Moratuwa and Galle. Sri Lankans are very proud of their tea plantations, which tourists visit with pleasure. Of the architectural monuments, the most revered is the Temple of the Tooth of Buddha in Kandy, where, in fact, this holy relic is kept. Holidays in Sri Lanka will bring you unforgettable impressions, but it is worth remembering that you need to visit temples in clothes that cover your knees, shoulders and back, and sunbathing "topless" is strictly prohibited there.
Vietnam
Holidays in Vietnam are also gaining popularitytourists from all over the world, but this destination is not as popular as the countries described above. Most hotels in Vietnam, for example, offer breakfast-based meals, which is not very convenient if you are traveling with children. However, the exoticism and unusual beauty of nature still attract travelers, and it is quite possible that this country will soon become one of the leaders in winter holidays.
Holidays in the islands
Holidays in the Maldives, Bali and Seychelles alwayswas considered elite, and still not everyone can afford to enjoy the leisurely bliss of island life. Most often, these destinations are chosen by newlyweds, because the honeymoon spent there becomes a real fairy tale. The Maldives are small islands (300-1000 meters long), where everything is very expensive. The cost of dinner per person can reach one hundred dollars, but the hotels are simply luxurious! In the Seychelles, on the contrary, the service is worse, but the nature is stunning in its magnificence. Bali has been considered one of the most prestigious and fashionable resorts in the world for more than thirty years. Almost every day they celebrate some kind of holiday, for example, Metal Day. On this day, all the cars on the island will be generously decorated with flowers, because the Balinese firmly believe that in this way they will appease the spirit living in metal objects.
Holidays in the Caribbean
The Caribbean countries include suchCuba, Hawaii, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Tahiti, the Dominican Republic and several other exotic islands, beloved by tourists from all over the world. It takes a long time and is expensive to fly there, but if you have chosen one of these countries, consider yourself very lucky! Cuba is the largest and most original island in the Caribbean. The spirit of freedom and equality still reigns on the island, and people living in near poverty consider themselves the happiest on earth. They are so happy that they do not miss an opportunity to dance as soon as they hear the sounds of music. Therefore, every European who comes there plunges into the cheerful atmosphere of a universal holiday. The Dominican Republic is an endlessly blue sky, the azure of the Caribbean Sea, cheerful, cheeky merchants and short but powerful tropical downpours. The legendary and world-famous resort of Hawaii is one of the most prestigious holiday destinations in the world. Hawaii is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean and is officially a state of the USA. It has a very pleasant climate, which makes it a regular holiday destination for many celebrities and surfing enthusiasts. The famous local greeting "Aloha" has long become a symbol of good mood and good luck. If you are still struggling with the question of where to go on holiday in winter, then given the opportunity, you will not find a better place to relax!
Ski resorts
However, you can spend your winter vacation not only onsea, but also skiing, for example, in Europe. Ski resorts in Austria, Italy, France, the Czech Republic and Slovenia are gaining popularity every year among people of all ages. Even for the youngest ski lovers there are special tracks on the best slopes in the world. But if the opportunity arises, it is worth going skiing to resorts in Russia or Ukraine. For example, experienced skiers know where to go in the Carpathians in winter. Three regions in Ukraine are large ski resorts: Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Zakarpattia. These regions are called the pearl of the Ukrainian land. The most popular resorts are Dragobrat, Polyanitsa, Slavsko and Yaremche. Extreme sports enthusiasts can be taken to the top by helicopter, since the height of the descent in some places reaches five thousand kilometers. We hope that our review will help you navigate and make the right choice about where to spend your vacation. By the way, you can also have a great time in the village - make a snow woman with your children and roll around in the purest white snow! There are many beautiful, amazing places on earth!
