At sea. For beach lovers, options are possible: Black Sea, Azov or Baltic.

For holidays on the Black Sea are popular resorts Gelendzhik, Anapa and Sochi, but if you want to spend a vacation in a less crowded place, you can choose sparsely populated resorts such as Kabardinka, Abrau-Durso, Dagomys and others. The most suitable time for a trip to the Black Sea is the velvet season, late August, closer to autumn. It's not too hot at this time, but it's still warm enough. The water temperature is comfortable, and the tan will lie more smoothly, because the sun is already much “softer”.

The Baltic Sea will discover its beauty in the Kaliningrad region, the resorts there are clean, well-groomed. Architecture is ancient, nature is diverse. In Zelenogorsk there is a wide sandy beach, and in Svetlogorsk it is surrounded by high pines and has a hilly relief. The famous Curonian Spit also does not leave indifferent - wild sandy beaches, the sea, the forest. It is also better to relax on the Baltic Sea closer to August, by this time it has already warmed up.

The Sea of Azov is well suited for recreation with children, it warms up faster and has a sandy bottom. There are fewer resorts here than on the Black Sea, but there are also things to choose from: Oversleep, Kuchugury, Yeisk, Golubitskaya Stanitsa, Shchelkino in the Crimea.
