Delicious, beautiful and not expensive Georgia
A country with delicious cuisine and stunning views. Georgia has become a real tourist trend over the past few years. At the same time, the rest there belongs to the budget category. Georgian resorts are distinguished by developed tourist infrastructure, safety and hospitality. So trouble during the holidays you are unlikely to disturb. But there will be no bright impressions. In terms of recreation, Georgia is unique. Here at the same time of the year you can both ride on the snow-capped slopes of the Caucasus Mountains and plunge into the warm sea.
The most fascinating sights of Georgia are called the cave monastery complex Vardzia, the medieval Alaverdi Cathedral and the Khertvisi fortress. Locals are also advised to walk around the city of Batumi and Tbilisi. Batumi is called the most progressive Black Sea resort. And Tbilisi surprisingly combines ancient and modern monuments. And of course, it’s a sin to come to Georgia and not visit the wine region – Kakheti.
Weather: It is warm and sunny in Georgia in summer. You can swim in the Black Sea, on the coast the average air temperature is + 28 ... + 30 C, at night + 23 ... + 25 C. In Borjomi and Tbilisi the average daily values are + 25 C. +27C, at night +22... +24 C.
How to get there: you can get to Georgia by plane, train, bus, car and even by ferry. From some cities it is possible to fly directly to Georgia. A plane ticket in both directions will cost from 11 thousand to 19 thousand. You can save money by getting the transfers. It is not the best idea to go by train, since there are no direct ways, only with a transfer, for example, in Baku. But it's unlikely to be cheaper. The most budget option is the bus. From Moscow to Tbilisi to get only a day, and the ticket will cost only 3 thousand rubles.
Where to stay: the price per room per day, depending on the number of stars in hotels, varies from 1,000 to 3,500. But I must admit, almost all of them look the same as Soviet Khrushchev. There is no point in paying a lot of money. At the same time, it is possible to settle in a hostel well and inexpensively. The price per day in the cheapest is only 500 rubles. When choosing a place of residence, pay attention to the area. Since the price of a taxi in Georgia is low, it is cheaper to get to the sights every time by taxi than to overpay for accommodation in the city center.
The approximate cost of the tour per person: a ready-made tour for one in Batumi, which includes accommodation and flight, will cost from 35 thousand to 45 thousand depending on the month of stay. In cities more modest, in the same Tbilisi, the price of the tour is from 24 to 35 thousand. If you go on your own, the largest part of the cost is the road and excursions. One week of accommodation and flight will be about 18 thousand.
Duration: from 7 to 15 days.
Preparation, documents, money: a big plus of Georgia is that Russians do not need a visa to travel there. Therefore, a passport is enough for a normal holiday. As for currency, in Georgia, it is easy to exchange rubles, dollars and euros for local lari. However, the rate for rubles is not the most profitable. When exchanging, do not forget to clarify the commission. Purchases in Georgia can be paid by card, but if you go to the mountains, you can pay only in cash. If you go in the summer, bring clothes for cloudy weather, an umbrella and waterproof shoes. It is useful if you want to visit the fortresses and caves.

A mountainous climate that can afford everything. Traveling through Armenia
Another friendly country for Russians is Armenia. Tourists usually forget about it. Armenia has a unique mountain climate, clean air, low prices and ancient architecture. The country is located simultaneously in three climatic zones, so everything is ambiguous with the weather here. Depending on the terrain, summer can be either dry or rainy, but certainly hot.
Many people come to Armenia to get healthier in the local waters. But especially satisfied with the trip to this country will be lovers of antiquity. Armenia is rich in ancient temples and monasteries. No wonder the country is called an open-air museum. On almost every street you can find some kind of attraction. The pride of the Armenian people is the Black Fortress – an outpost of the XIX century, which became a symbol of the protection of Transcaucasia from attacks by the Turkish army. It is also worth paying attention to the ruins of Zvartnots and the fortress of Erebuni. In addition, the Armenian resort is rich in high-mountain beaches of Lake Sevan. There is a well-developed beach infrastructure. But the water of the lake is mostly cool.
The weather: The second half of summer in Armenia is considered the hottest. In the Ararat Valley, the average daily indicators are +28 ... + 30 C, at night about +20 C. +22 C. At the resorts of Lake Sevan during the day is up to + 22. +24C, at night +15. +18 C.
How to get there: to be in Armenia, it is best to use a plane. From Moscow to Yerevan ticket in both directions will cost 8-12 thousand at different times of the season. There is no direct communication with Russia. Therefore, the train will have to travel first to Azerbaijan, then to Georgia and from Georgia to go further to Armenia. Things are different with buses. There is a direct bus flight from Moscow to Yerevan. The fare is approximately 1.5 thousand.
Where to settle: in Armenia you can rent a villa for only 2.5 thousand per day. A night in hotels located in the central part of Yerevan will be much more expensive – from 4 to 6.5 thousand. Hostels, as always, are much cheaper. There are options for 350 rubles per day. Do not forget that Armenia has also preserved the Soviet spirit, so the situation in the room will be appropriate. Please note that in high season, it is better to book hotels in advance, especially if you want to settle outside of Yerevan.
The approximate cost of the tour per person: on burning tours you can buy a ticket for 17 thousand.
Duration: 5 days.
Preparation, documents, money: since 2017, it is not even necessary to have a passport to stay in Armenia. You can travel with domestic Russian. In this case, you can stay in Armenia for no more than 180 days. But for a trip to the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, you will have to issue a passport. Foreign currency, except for the dollar, is not accepted in Armenia. It is better to exchange rubles for the national Armenian currency - dram - in the official branches of the bank. Paying with a card here is almost impossible. Make sure you have enough cash, preferably small bills.

Sunny and friendly land. Budgetary Abkhazia
Sunny Abkhazia is located along the shores of the Black Sea. Abkhazian resorts were famous even in Soviet times. Of course, the local infrastructure is far from the European level. There are not many comfortable hotels here. But Russian tourists here are very much loved and even willing to speak Russian.
The nature of Abkhazia is distinguished by its diversity. Here you and picturesque mountains, and alpine meadows, and mountain rivers. You can spend your vacation in silence, enjoying walks in numerous parks or soak up on clean beaches. But in Abkhazia there is a place to go.

High service, low price. Cheap holiday in Turkey
The list of inexpensive tourist destinations would not be complete without Turkey. Democratic prices and quality service. This makes Turkey different from many resorts, providing a large tourist flow. And I must say that all the resorts of Turkey are good. Among Russian tourists are popular those located on the Mediterranean coast. The peak season occurs in the second half of June and lasts until September. There are a lot of tourists in Turkey at this time. In this regard, you need to take care of booking rooms in advance.

An explosion of emotion for pennies. Going to India for impressions
For Russian tourists, India is amazing and colorful. Vacation there guarantees an explosion of emotions. India is an ancient civilization with a unique culture and architectural monuments.

Not everyone is ready for this. And be sure to wash vegetables and fruits using mineral water and soap.
India is a land of contrasts. The mystery and grandeur of the temples can be replaced by terrible poverty, so it is better for beginners to choose one direction for rest.
