July Beach Holidays at the Resorts: The Most Affordable Tour Operators

Moscow, July 20 – Experts have compiled a list of resorts where you can have the cheapest sea vacation at the end of July, ATOR reports.

In the rating, which is based on data from the federal network of travel agencies “1001 Tour”, all of the indicated vouchers are designed for two adults, for 10 nights, including a flight from Moscow. Options without food were not considered.

Abkhazia heads the top 5 most affordable destinations for a ten-day vacation with departure at the end of July. There is the cheapest tour for 10 nights with an excursion, which costs 53 thousand rubles for two.

This is followed by Greater Sochi, where prices for group tours start at 83 thousand rubles for two.

Gelendzhik takes the third place – at the lowest prices, it is 15 percent lower than in early July. The cheapest tour for 10 nights with a flight and transfer from Sochi can be purchased for 96 thousand rubles for two.

In fourth place is Issyk-Kul (Kyrgyzstan). Beach vacation for 10 nights on an already warm alpine lake with a trip cost from 99 thousand rubles for two.

Anapa did not become cheaper, the minimum price increased slightly (by 2.8 percent). This is explained by the fact that the resort was almost not affected by bad weather, now it “intercepts” tourists from Crimea, and demand is growing. At least for a 10-night tour package with a flight and transfer from Sochi – 110 thousand rubles for two.

Compared to the beginning of July, the minimum prices for flights to Egypt and Turkey (Aegean coast) have also decreased slightly for departures from July 25 to 31 – these countries, along with the UAE, remain the most affordable foreign countries for Russians to get, notes ATOR.

Among the beach destinations without an excursion, the Crimea is, of course, the cheapest – according to “1001 Tour”, 10 nights in a three-star hotel (Kerch) with a check-in from July 25 to 31 will cost two people (with breakfast) only 19.7 thousand rubles.
