Beach holidays in May 2018. Advantages and disadvantages of resorts

We are used to associate summer holidays with beach vacations. However, why wait for it if there are a lot of places on earth where you can have a good rest on the coast in May. In addition, long May holidays will be an excellent period for such a holiday.

When considering options for a beach holiday in May, first of all, you pay attention to the countries of Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Thailand), but they take a long time to get, so it’s better to leave them for a full vacation. In some European countries (Spain, Greece, Turkey) the beach season just begins in May. However, by this time, the water in the sea will not have time to warm up to a comfortable temperature.

The best option for a beach holiday in May 2018, so that it was not long to fly, sunbathe and swim in the warm sea, can be considered Israel or Spanish Tenerife. Let's consider all available options in more detail.

Spain

This country is called one of the best in the whole Mediterranean. Among the popular destinations, it is worth highlighting Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Malaga. In May, relaxing on the beach here can be successfully combined with sightseeing. The weather will just contribute to this, since in May Spain is warm enough, but there is still no summer heat. In addition, in May there are not as many tourists here as in the summer. The cost of the tour for 2 people for 3 nights in Spain starts from 29516 rubles.

Among the advantages of a holiday in Spain include:

• relatively low cost of the tour;
• mild climate and picturesque nature;
• comfortable hotels;
• Well-developed infrastructure and clean beaches.

But, there are also disadvantages to the May beach holiday in this country. These include the fact that the sea by this time has not had enough time to warm up enough, so not everyone can swim in it. In addition, vacationers note that thieves are operating on the local beaches. Therefore, be careful not to leave personal items unattended.

Italy

Those who can not afford a full vacation in May, but want to soak up the warm beach and still not spend a significant part of their days off on flights, can be advised to go to Italy. In addition to clean beaches, Italian resorts offer vacationers to enjoy the picturesque nature and visit interesting sights.

If your plans also include swimming in the sea, then it is better to go to Sicily, where the water in the sea will have time to warm up by this time. You can take water treatments at the thermal resort of Ischia. The cost of the tour for 3 nights for 2 people in Italy starts from 32484 rubles.

The advantages of Italian resorts include:

• the presence of interesting cultural and educational programs;
• excellent conditions for shopping;
• The trip will certainly be remembered by fans of gastronomic tourism, who can taste fresh olives and high-quality cheeses and wines here.

But at the same time, tourists may encounter certain problems. So, many complain about the difficulties that they have to face at the embassy when obtaining a visa, as well as the fact that in many hotels the service staff is engaged in a frank pumping of money for the services they provide.

Tunisia

Holidays in Tunisia can be attributed to the budget. As for the weather in May, in the second half of the month there is already a full summer. In the southern regions of the country, by this time, sea water is already warming up to + 21 - +22 degrees. Relax in Tunisia for a week, 2 people will be able to approximately 29-32 thousand rubles.

The positive moments of rest in Tunisia include:

• the presence of an all-inclusive system;
• short flight;
• reasonable prices.

Among the shortcomings can be identified:

• insufficient service in many hotels;
• A small number of attractions and sightseeing tours.

Bali

Speaking of Bali, many of us represent a paradise island. Therefore, it will be the best place for those who want to relax inexpensively and enjoy the tropical landscapes. Bali will also be the choice of those who want to learn how to surf. A weekly tour for two people in Bali will cost from 115 thousand rubles.

Positive moments of rest in Bali can be:

• friendly local people;
• budget housing prices;
• amazingly beautiful sunsets on the ocean.

Moreover, the region is classified as seismic hazardous. There is real chaos on local roads. In addition, there is a lot of all small and not very living creatures (insects, reptiles, etc.).

Cyprus

It is this island that is considered the birthplace of Aphrodite, who was the goddess of love, therefore, tourists are offered excellent conditions for solitude and good relaxation. In May, it is already warm enough. Resorts in Cyprus are conditionally divided into: youth (Ayia Napa) and family (Paphos). The cost of tours for 3 nights for 2 people starts from 24142 rubles.

The positive aspects of a holiday in Bali include:

• high quality service and safety for vacationers;
• mild climate and a large number of sunny days;
• All sorts of festivals and holidays are regularly held on the island.

But, there are also negative sides:

• the need to apply for a visa;
• high price of products.

Turkey

Turkey is called the leader of the tourism industry. It is in May that the beach season opens here, although there are not many vacationers yet. But the sea by this time is usually still cold, so you have to limit yourself to swimming in the pool. The cost of the all-inclusive tour for 2 tourists for 4 nights starts at 22,766 rubles.

The advantages of Turkish resorts include:

• no need to get a visa to enter the country;
• Hotels offer an all-inclusive leisure system;
• since at this time there are still few tourists, the prices for excursions and souvenirs are not too high, which cannot be said about summer.

There are few disadvantages, but they also are:

• the water in the sea is still quite cold, so not everyone decides to swim in it;
• some individuals try to cash in on tourists.

Greece

The country offers a huge number of options for a beach holiday. A beach vacation will be especially comfortable in the southern regions of the country. But, it’s better to go here in the second half of May. For a vacation for a week for 2 people you will have to pay from 27,940 rubles.

Greek resorts differ:

• well-developed infrastructure;
• clear sea and well-maintained beaches;
• delicious food.

Of the minuses of relaxation, we can distinguish:

• some beaches in Greece are paid;
• most stores close very early.

Israel

In May, real summer reigns in Israel in May. Water in the Mediterranean Sea by this time warms up to +25 degrees, and in the Dead to +30 degrees. Those wishing to relax on the Mediterranean coast should go to Tel Aviv. For those who want to visit the Red Sea coast, Eilat is better. And the best resort on the Dead Sea is called Ein Bokeke. For 4 days of rest in the country, 2 tourists will have to pay from 48,961 rubles.

The benefits of a May vacation in Israel include:

• excellent weather conditions;
• most of the local population knows Russian;
• visa-free regime;
• in May it is very beautiful, as numerous parks and reserves begin to bloom.

A fly in the ointment will be high prices and the fact that from the afternoon on Friday until Saturday night, shops, restaurants and cafes do not work in the country.

Russia

Resorts of the Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory also invite tourists in May. It is already warm at this time, but the water in the sea is still cold. Therefore, after sunbathing on the coast, you have to go swimming in the pool.

As you can see, you can relax on the beach in May. And it is not necessary to fly far. Experienced tourists recommend that you go to the coast at this time, since in May there are not many tourists here and you can relax cheaply and comfortably
