It’s about a month away from New Year 2023 and you still haven’t decided where to spend your vacation? And at the same time, you want to stay warm without snow and sleet? We have compiled for you the destinations where you can go without too many transfers and visa problems.
Turkey
Turkey is our everything in terms of recreation all year round. And if it is undoubtedly a beach resort in summer, it is more suitable for walking at +15 +22 degrees in winter, depending on the location and weather conditions. For example, the weather is cooler in Istanbul, but the possibilities of a big city in terms of entertainment are almost limitless. In the same Antalya, although not as diverse as in Istanbul, it is warmer, there is even a chance to sunbathe and swim. And since December, direct flights have been launched to Izmir, Turkey’s third largest city in the west of the country and not far away, on the Greek border, the resort town of Çeşme with its white beaches and Greek towns. If you’ve already been to Istanbul and Antalya and want something new, here’s an idea!
Sweetcorn
Direct flights from different cities of Russia fly to the resorts of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, air + 22-25 °C, sometimes 27 °C, the sea – coral gardens of incredible beauty, especially those hidden under the water – with many colorful fish. If it’s cold for you to stay in the water for a long time, take a wetsuit with you (or rent it on the spot): then you can swim among the fish for at least an hour and not notice. Or you can windsurf. In the middle of winter, mangoes, strawberries and other fresh juicy fruits are a nice bonus!
UAE
Russians are actively exploring the Emirates, both for leisure and for business. For vacationers, this could mean the opening of an increasing number of restaurants made by Russian restaurateurs – and it’s always a pleasure, at least! As for the details, it is worth remembering that the UAE is not only Dubai, but also Sharjah and other neighboring emirates, where it may not be so pretentious, but just as warm, sunny and pleasant. And everywhere is the sea!
If you still prefer Dubai, we remind you: From December 15 to January 29, the annual shopping festival will be held here with many different events. The question is, will there be time to lie on the chaise longue?
Maldives
It is an ideal place to completely relax, swim in the warm sea, swim with turtles, stingrays and shoals of colorful fish. When you can’t imagine what the weather will be like: this place is always (or almost always) perfect for a beach holiday. The hardest thing when it comes to the Maldives is choosing the hotel that suits your style – more comfortable or more fun. Simply because the choice is huge.
Thailand
Exotic tropical islands with white sandy beaches, palm trees, coconuts, tom yum, fresh milky water, incredibly friendly locals… Thailand is a great place for a relaxing vacation. Most tourists from all islands choose Phuket, but we also recommend considering Koh Samui: if it was more expensive than Phuket before, now it’s the opposite. The most important thing to start with is if you want a quieter vacation (then Samui) or a more party-like vacation (then Phuket). If you suddenly choose Pattaya, be sure to head to Bangkok for a few days – this bustling Asian metropolis is impressive!
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has recently opened to tourists and has quickly become one of the most popular hot destinations this winter. In terms of the number of tourists arriving on the island in November, the Russians took the first place (Indians second, British third). And this is not surprising: in addition to long beaches, wonderful weather, many interesting places such as tea plantations, temples and colonial cities, there is another important plus – Russians can open a local bank account for free and get Visa and Mastercard cards. valid all over the world.
India
India has finally lifted all covid restrictions and the result is clear – we already have many compatriots in Goa, both vacationers and winter comers. Maybe we should forget that “Goa is no longer the same” (and who remembers what it was – “that” Goa?!) and move beyond the sea, sun, tika masala, parties and atmosphere that were just the times we lived in. and you should enjoy every day especially on holiday.
If you prefer a wellness vacation, choose the state of Kerala: Ayurveda and massages are excellent here.
