WHERE TO GO TO RELAX IN SUMMER?

July 31, 2019

Favorite time of the year, absolutely every tourist is summer. After all, we are provided with huge opportunities in choosing countries for rest. If we just want to lie on the beach with all-inclusive meals, then we will be met by such countries as: Turkey, Tunisia, Bulgaria. To combine a beach holiday with excursion programs, then I recommend Georgia, Greece, Spain, Montenegro and Cyprus. Now we will tell about each country separately, but this does not mean that only in these parts you can fly to relax in the summer, we simply advise the most beloved and popular, and the choice is always yours.
Turkey
Probably there are no such tourists left who were not in the summer in this country. Turkey replaced the Southern Coast of Crimea, so it became a favorite for everyone. The flight program starts from April, but the sea warms up in May, so be careful if you plan to have a rest with children at such an early period. On seasonality, from May to October, the air temperature warms up to 35 ° C, and the water temperature can warm up to 26 ° C. Small tips on choosing a region for your summer vacation. Family holidays, with beautiful sandy beaches, smooth sunset, about an hour drive from the airport and large areas of hotels, we recommend to spend in Side.
For active tourists, we offer Kemer and Alanya, in the first city - more green territory, mountains and pebble beaches, in the second - sandy beaches and more hilly terrain. For a high level of rest we offer to go to Belek. Also, do not forget about the Aegean coast with incredibly beautiful nature.
At a cost, especially for early booking, you can buy a tour for two from $ 450.
Undiscovered Tunisia
For me personally, Tunisia was just a discovery. Beautiful sandy beaches, with huge hotels in an unusual style, very good food. But, this country is famous for its amazing thalassotherapy and incredible history, and excursion programs. And of course, the world famous Sahara desert. Resorts for rest in the summer: Hammamet, Monastir, Sousse, Mahdia. Do not forget about the island of Djerba - which is the largest island off the coast of North Africa. The temperature in season, from May to October will be up to 30 ° C, the sea warms up to 26 ° C. You can book Tunisia in advance for $ 600 for two.

Slovakia, the Czech Republic or Hungary - these are the budget countries in Europe for travel, which should be paid attention to travelers who want to save money. So, in Germany, France, Austria and England prices will be much higher and, accordingly, the rest in these countries will cost more. A great advantage is that, resting, for example, in the Czech Republic, it is possible for a small amount to travel by train or bus to another neighboring country and spend there some part of the holiday, and this will be the most exciting and at the same time budget independent euro-trip.

Albania
This is the first country located in the southern part of the continent, opening the list of European countries with the cheapest tourism. The coast of the Ionian and Adriatic seas has many beautiful beaches where you can relax cheaply and comfortably. This is usually sought by tourists looking for the best place for an inexpensive family vacation. You can spend a day at a local hostel for at least $ 10.
In a double room at the hotel a night will cost $ 30.
The statement that you will find the most inexpensive holiday in Europe in Albania, actually due to the low prices for food and alcoholic beverages:
Dine in a cafe here can be an average of $ 5, and in a restaurant - twice as expensive. Tequila here costs 15 dollars. A pack of cigarettes 1.2 dollars.

Albania has a number of exciting natural objects that attract the traveler's attention - rocky peaks and picturesque mountains, overgrown with dense forest, beautiful beaches under the warm Mediterranean sun and the azure-blue waters of the Adriatic.
Citizens of the EU, Australia, USA, Canada and several other countries do not need a visa. You can get a visa both at the consular section of the embassy and at border crossings by paying the price equivalent of the visa price for Albanians to your country (or $ 30- $ 75 depending on the length of stay in the country).

Malta island attractions

February 26, 2019
Malta island
Many people ask what can be seen and what to do in Malta, because usually knowledge about this
 country is not as great as about other European countries. And this is understandable. Honestly, 
there is no such thing as “the best route to Malta” - on this small island you can easily see and 
implement everything that was planned. So, if you want to spend a weekend in Malta or are planning
 a longer stay in Malta for 5 days, 7 days or more, there are many opportunities for cheap holidays 
in Malta if you know where to look for them and how to plan your pastime. All the necessary 
information you can learn from just one article! Here is our guide to help you get your perfect 
Malta route.
Before we dive, the country of Malta actually consists of three islands: the main island of Malta, which is the largest, smallest island of Gozo in the north-west, to which you can take a ferry, and the smallest island of Comino in between Malta and Gozo (also available for visiting only by boat). Driving a car - you can get from the southernmost edge of the main island from where the ferry 
leaves for Gozo, to the north-west in about an hour. This is the entire length of the main island. 
One hour!
However, the whole
island is very easy to get around. Many places and attractions can be visited
in half a day or even in a day from anywhere in the island, depending on where
you are staying. Many attractions are available from the so-called “central
points” - Valletta and Slim. A walk through these cities will allow you to see
the entire capital and visit the most populated part of Malta if you do not
have a lot of time. If you are just planning
to spend up to 2-3 days on the island and only in Valletta or Sliema, you will
not need a car, since you can safely move around the city on foot or take a
taxi in case of emergency. By taxi to the airport you can get at a fixed rate,
and in fact it will be all your needs in the car. See below the section
“Official and private taxis”. 
Ah, these buses are in Malta. If you were here before, you probably also smiled. If you didn’t know yet - the bus is a great, cheap way to drive around the whole island. BUT - this, at least, will also be a test for you. We mean that, although new buses are absolutely safe, you will often be amazed at the speed they develop and the constantly evolving situations along the route and sudden braking, and most interestingly, for some reason they DO NOT get into accidents.
If you plan to travel to Malta, you will need a place to stay. Although this article is more focused on “what to see and do”, we thought it would be useful to also provide you with the necessary information about booking a home. The suggested routes below also include hotels and hostels, so some of them will be useful for you too! To search for budget hotels and hostels, we recommend using our search for budget accommodation.
Hotels in Malta you can see here - bookingbuddy.
If you are not interested in a beach holiday, skip Golden Bay and go straight to the medieval city of Mdina. We will look at each of the above places in a little more detail and tell you what you can see and do there! Let's start with the capital of Malta, beautiful Valletta.

travel to bavaria

How to plan a trip to Bavaria by yourself?
One of the most popular destinations for tourists traveling in Germany is Bavaria. This is not surprising, because it is here that you can observe not only the famous castles of Bavaria all over the world, not only beautiful alpine meadows and real “Alpine cows”, as if from the Milka ad, but also just beautiful mountain landscapes and other beauties, like descended from the picture guide. However, Bavaria is practically an independent world and at first glance it may seem that you can 
conquer it only by purchasing a tour of the castles of Bavaria. However, this is not the case - a little
desire and time will help you plan your dream trip.
Castles of Bavaria


For travelers who have decided to conquer the magic of Bavaria, I want to give some tips:
- firstly, if your main goal is Bavaria, then select Munich as your destination (arrival).
Personally, I did it differently, and bought a ticket to Berlin. I can not say that I regretted this afterwards - after all, my goal was to get acquainted not only with Bavaria, but with Germany as a whole. That is why in my route there was also a place for Berlin, as well as Potsdam and Dresden. However, such a route is physically difficult. That is why I would recommend starting your journey around Bavaria from the arrival in Munich: you will spend less time on the road and you will have more time to explore Bavaria.
Of course, you can purchase an excursion tour "Castles of Bavaria". This will deprive you of the need to book a car and develop a route for visits However, in my opinion, booking a car is much more convenient and economical.
The only thing I insist on is very strong - do not travel around Bavaria by public transport. Do not be surprised, nobody canceled the possibility of traveling by regular buses! However, the impressions will still be not the same, and you will spend a lot of time on travels. The price of this card for 2015 is 45 euros for one visitor, and for two (the so-called “family ticket”) - only 65 euros. As I have already explained, the validity of this card is 14 days from the date of the first visit to one of the landmarks from the list.
You can purchase this
card at the checkout of any of the castles that you can visit on it. Please
note that this map does not apply to all the castles and sights of Bavaria. In
addition, if you are staying initially in Munich, then it will be more
convenient to purchase a ticket right here - the map also applies to many of
the attractions of Munich. 
So, after you have decided on the place and time of your
stay, you should immediately accept the fact that if you go to Germany not for
half a year, but only for a short holiday, you will not be able to see the
whole Bavaria. Therefore, you have to make a choice: which of the castles to
inspect, and which ones can be left until the next trip. And also it is
necessary to make a specific trip route.
For myself, I
determined the following plan for visiting Bavaria: 

- Munich (in spite of the fact that we flew to Berlin, we
could not not see this beautiful city. That is why we set aside a couple of
days to get to know Munich). In addition, one of the evenings in Munich, we
dedicated to visiting this football game with the participation of the world
famous club "Bavaria". 

Munich is a very special city, for inspection which is not enough
a couple of days. We also managed to visit Oktoberfest, so there was very
little time left for sightseeing. The
village of Oberammergau is famous for a completely unusual painting of houses -
the artist Franz Seraph Zwink, who was born here, laid the foundation for a
special direction of painting. These were religious frescoes, the first of
which he painted on the facade of his own house. However, they were also liked
by another villager, and orders soon fell on the young man.
In Bavaria, Oberammergau is not the only village where houses of this style have 
survived. However, here they are the most. By the way, when you arrive here, get
 ready to empty your wallet - in the village there are a lot of craftsmen selling 
wooden souvenirs. In addition, there are wonderful shops of Christmas toys. 
The two most famous Bavarian castles in Germany. In my opinion, the first of 
them owes its popularity not only to its beauty and grandeur, but also ... to the f
amous screensaver with the image of the castle, which begins the cartoons 
produced by Disney Studio.
Yes, it is this Bavarian castle that became the prototype of the Sleeping Beauty Palace, painted in Disneyland Paris. Of course, to visit this pearl of Germany is, I would advise to spend the night in one of the hotels near the castle. Believe me, the breakfast overlooking Noshvshanshtayn will be remembered for all your life.
It is easiest to combine his visit with a tour of the castle of Heuschwangau, which is within walking distance of the first. Heuschwangau is not as famous and more restrained than Neuschwanstein, but in the evening in the light of the lights it looks no less majestic. Yes, and the decoration of the halls is very interesting. This is only a small tour of the castles of Bavaria, designed for 5-6 days. In fact, there are much more objects here, but it takes much longer to study them. Build your individual route through the castles of Bavaria based on your budget and personal interests. I hope that small recommendations from me will help you with this.
