In the calculations, the prices for air tickets to the resort and back, spending on housing, expenses for entertainment, food, transportation and sightseeing were taken into account.

The trip will cost $ 1716
The beach season in Romania opens at the end of May and lasts until the beginning of October. Water at this time warms up to 21 degrees.
You can rent an apartment in the port city of Constanta, but in the resort of Eforie Nord there are a lot of inexpensive cafes (lunch for two will cost about $ 10) and guesthouses. The most expensive housing is in the very popular Romanian resort of Mamaia.
Among the entertainment in Romania, one can distinguish a visit to Dracula's castle (not a vampire, but the prince of Wallachia), a walk through the Bucharest Botanical Garden or Cismigiu Garden with fountains and a lake. And lovers of black humor can go to the "Merry Cemetery" in Sepynets. This is one of the most unusual places on Earth.
9. Albania
Two-week trip budget - $ 1,684
The cheapest vacation in Albania in May and June. At this time, the water warms up to plus 19-23 degrees. In September, the most patient will be rewarded - the maximum water temperature will be 25 degrees.

The hottest period in the resorts of Georgia begins in July-August. Therefore, those who do not like the heat can go there in June or September.

And for those who prefer a quiet and relaxing holiday without any entertainment, the villages of Sarpi, Cape Verde, Gonio, and Kvariati are excellent.
Delicious home-made wine, delicious food, good service, and a normal attitude towards Russian-speaking tourists - what else is needed to have a great vacation?
7. Turkey
Holiday budget - $ 1,620
One of the most popular inexpensive tourist destinations among Russians. The cheapest is to sunbathe under the Turkish sun from April to June and in October. In popular Mediterranean resorts (Fethiye, Antalya, Alanya, etc.), the water is warm from the end of May to October. And in the resorts of the Aegean - from June to the end of September.
The most budgetary and at the same time popular resort is Alanya, as it is located far from Antalya Airport. In the mountainous region of Kemer, you can find housing for any wallet. In addition, there is beautiful nature and clear water with a pebble bottom.
The ruins of ancient cities, picturesque caves, noisy bazaars - all this is abundant in Turkey.
6. Vietnam
Traveling for two will cost $ 1,608
As in most countries from the ranking of the cheapest resorts in 2018, it is better to go to Vietnam either in May-June or in September. In these months, the main stream of tourists has either not arrived yet, or has already left. In addition, it rains in the north of Vietnam in summer.
Inexpensive seafood, good and inexpensive service, tasty and exotic food - all this Vietnam has been offering tourists for more than a year.
The cheapest vacation is in Nha Trang and Mui Ne.
If you come to Vietnam with children, we recommend visiting the Hanoi Water Puppet Theater. What the presentation says is unclear, but the way the dolls glide on the water and squeak with funny voices really amuses the children.
And in Ho Chi Minh City, there’s a Vietnamese counterpart to Disneyland. American roller coasters, French carousels, Chinese-style dragon palaces, generally international.
5. Azerbaijan
You can relax together for $ 1602
In May, the water of the Caspian Sea is not yet warmed up enough to swim comfortably. Therefore, it is better to plan a vacation in Azerbaijan in June or September.
Excellent Caucasian cuisine, a lot of attractions - from the Gobustan archaeological reserve with rock paintings and the Baku Zoo to the natural eternal flame of Yanardag, beautiful nature is the main, but not the only reason to visit sunny Azerbaijan.
It is good to relax with children in the village of Bilgyakh, where the sea is shallow, and you can stay with a couple or a small company in the city of Lankaran or the village of Mardakan, where there are well-equipped beaches with sunbeds and dressing rooms.

You can rent an apartment in the villages of Olginka and Agoy, in the villages of Sovet-Kvadzhe, Veselovka and Arkhipo-Osipovka.
2. Abkhazia
Cook for at least 1396 dollars for two
Wonderful nature and the cleanest sea are two advantages that make many tourists year after year choose Abkhazia for their summer holidays. However, it is advisable to go there with a company of 3-4 people or more. According to tourists, many locals perceive visitors as a "walking wallet." And the quality of service often does not match the asking price.
For lovers of inexpensive vacations without frills, small villages, for example Gechripsha and Tsandripsha, are suitable. It is easy to rent cheap housing in the private sector there.
1. Sea of Azov
The minimum amount for a two-week stay for 2 people is $ 1230
The smallest sea in the world tops the top 10 popular and affordable resorts.
