Cheap Travel Ideas Now
In summer 2022, you want to quickly shake off the snow of the old year and dive into the experience of the new.
We do not see any obstacles for this. If you’re not averse to jumping on a plane spontaneously and finding yourself in a new country, here are 5 directions for a better reboot at the end of the year or a bright start to a new one. Make up your mind now!
1. Jordan
Why plan a trip to an unusual place six months in advance if you can be there right now? In winter, Jordan is the resorts of the Dead Sea, and the shrines of the ancient city of Petra, and diving among the coral gardens, and the landscapes of the endless Wadi Rum desert, which occupies 90% of the country. It should be taken into account that the cost of last-minute tours in the low season is very attractive.
Jordan is a treasure trove of world cultural heritage. Even if you just want to take a break from the snow and cold in the sun, we advise you to spend the day visiting the ancient Petra. In different centuries, the city was owned by the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Crusaders, and everyone left a memory of themselves. Temples and houses in the city are carved into pink sandstone rocks, which is why Petra is often called the Pink City.
2. Sochi
We are not tired of rejoicing in the fact that every year the domestic resort of Sochi is getting better. The weather here in January is not wintry at all: the average temperature is + 9 … 13 ° С.
And if you are one of those for whom the beginning of the season means active recreation, and not heat and sea, you will love it here. To conquer the mountains on skis and snowboard go to Krasnaya Polyana – by bus or “Lastochka”, the trip will take only one and a half hours. If you are a beginner or just don’t want to lug around with you, you can always rent equipment.
And in between skiing, we advise you to see the sights of Sochi: Stalin’s dacha, Riviera Park with an artists’ fair and the embankment with the red and white Sochi lighthouse.
3. Turkey
What’s great about Turkey is everything: a short flight, excellent service and entertainment available all year round.
The warmest in January is in Antalya, Belek and Alanya, + 15 … 17 ° С. Hotels do not close during the low season, on the contrary, they seem to double their efforts. Animators continue to entertain guests, while restaurants pamper guests with culinary delights from different cuisines of the world. And, most importantly, you can also swim. Many local hotels have SPA centers with the famous Turkish hammam and beauty treatments, heated pools and jacuzzi.
And we have already selected such hotels for you in the note: “Turkey in winter! Which hotels to choose and why. “
4. UAE
Winter is perhaps the best time to visit this country: prices for tours are decreasing every day, as is the scorching heat. Sunbathing on the beach overlooking the famous Parus hotel at + 24 … 27 ° С, when it is minus at home, is this not the best New Year’s gift?
5. Italy
You can enjoy Italian cuisine and architecture at any time of the year. It is all the more convenient that in winter the lowest prices for tours to the small resort town of Rimini. Let the temperature + 7… 12 ° С do not bother you. The heat and beach will not distract you from local attractions. Take a walk in the Federico Fellini Park, take a look at the Italy in Miniature Park, with reduced sights of the whole country, and notice the state in the state of San Marino.
We advise you to spend the day on a trip to Florence or Venice. Trains run no longer than 3 hours. We’ll have to get up early, but it’s worth it.
