Tourist calendar. Türkiye: holiday season by month

The choice of countries where you can go on vacation in January is quite large, but these are mainly Asian destinations or exotic countries.

There is much more choice among countries where the air temperature fluctuates around 29-31 degrees.

Where is it warm and possible to swim in January?

Thailand is the main choice of tourists

After the New Year, Thailand gradually begins to reach its peak weather conditions . In addition to the ideal air temperature, there is also the warmest sea, which by the beginning of January warms up to 29-30 degrees. The New Year holidays in the Kingdom are the peak season and the beaches are full of tourists, so it is better to plan trips after the 5th-7th, when a batch of tourists with thick wallets who can afford a trip at the height of the season will leave the resorts.

Dominican Republic - a beach paradise on the other side of the ocean

In January, the peak begins in the resorts of the Dominican Republic tourist season, which will last until March. Snow-white beaches are recognized by UNESCO as one of the most beautiful in the world. Palm trees, mangroves and sea with stunningly beautiful underwater worldgreat opportunity discover diving. There are 3 in Punta Cana national parks, where you will see many exotic animals and reptiles, shows with talking parrots and swim with dolphins. Be sure to take individual excursions, visit one of the neighboring islands and drive jeeps on safari. In the evening you will find exciting parties in clubs, dancing on the beach until the morning and night sailing on a yacht.

Sunny and rich on excursions Tenerife

The Canary Islands experience turning point. The ocean cools to an uncomfortable temperature, which is why the number of tourists on the streets noticeably decreases immediately after the New Year. But the sun in the south of the island continues to heat the air to pleasant values ​​from +22 to +27. In such weather, it is quite possible to swim in hotel pools, sunbathe on sun loungers, and on days when the sun is not so active, go on excursions around the island, of which there are many. Just a visit to the Teide volcano and the killer whale show in Loropark are worth it!

Unusual resorts in Vietnam

Vietnam replaces Egypt this year in third place in the ranking popular destinations based on the results of the first half of the year. For beach holiday in January it is worth going to the south of the country (Vung Tau, Ke Ga, Mui Ne, Phan Thiet, Phu Quoc), where at this time it is sunny and dry. It may be cloudy and occasionally rain, but the weather in central or northern Vietnam cannot be compared. Precipitation in the south lasts no more than 3-4 days, in other regions its amount reaches 10-12 days.

Egypt rediscovered...

Egypt can no longer offer the present warm sea, but it’s quite possible to hide on the hotel grounds in a sun lounger by the pool in the rays of the warm sun! And it will cost very little, since the peak season has already passed. In addition to the cooling sea, winds will be a disadvantage, so resorts protected by mountains (Sharm El Sheikh, Taba) are in higher demand. On the other hand, the absence of heat is an excellent opportunity to explore the land of the pyramids for the most daring, since no one has yet lifted the recommendations on “not leaving” the hotel area.

The charter program is scheduled to fully resume in 2019, so prices should fall!

Arabian Diamond - UAE

The weather conditions in the UAE are very similar to Egypt, but there is something to do here besides swimming in the sea and hanging out at the bar. We recommend going here for those who like to go on excursions and organize their own leisure time. In today's conditions, this is a completely adequate alternative to Egypt, but a little more expensive. You shouldn’t really count on a beach holiday. Cool weather awaits you, wind and waves are in overall a dream surfers, who, by the way, are starting their high season. The rest can only walk along the shore, enjoying the promenade, or take excursions, visit camel racing or Moroccan baths, getting acquainted with the traditions of the country. Another category of January tourists are shopaholics, who were lured by crazy discounts at the Dubai Shopping Festival.

Slightly wild and therefore unforgettable Sri Lanka

You can vacation in Sri Lanka at any time of the year if you choose the right coast. In January, this is the southwestern coast, the main difference from the northeastern coast is the amount of precipitation. They are here for no more than 3-5 days, while in the north it’s hard to imagine a vacation without an umbrella and a raincoat. The central regions are also prone to precipitation due to the mountain ranges located here blocking the monsoons. Otherwise, the temperatures of the island during the day and at night vary slightly between different regions.

Awesome Indian state of Goa

Fans of the hot tropics will find scorching sun during the day, exposure to which for more than two hours can lead to burns. A very warm and calm sea creates all the opportunities for a carefree time on the beach. Goa is absolutely not the place to go with children, but for those who want to break away from civilization and have a blast full blast You should like it here...

Paradise and serenity of the Maldives atolls

Islands rarely leave the Top 10 of our ranking due to the “eternal summer” weather. January here is associated with the beginning of the dry season. Forecasters cannot guarantee the absence of precipitation; on average, there are from 1 to 5 rainy days per month (depending on the atoll). The direction of the winds also changed, due to which the humidity decreased to 75-80%. For those who prefer a calm ocean, we recommend the second half of the month.

Mexico - an unforgettable trip

The season in Mexico begins to pick up sharply by December 20, when Americans yearning for the sun come en masse to the country's resorts. On New Year there is nowhere for the apple to fall. By mid-January, resort life returns to normal rhythm and this is the best time to travel to Mexican resorts. For a beach holiday, it is better to choose resorts on the Gulf of Mexico (Veracruz, Mirido) or on the Caribbean Sea (Cancun). Here at this time the weather is more comfortable and the water is warmer than on the coast Pacific Ocean. Fans of hot climates should settle in Acapulco, where the warmest sea in the country is.

Where to relax with children during the winter holidays?

Most family tourists prefer to spend their holidays in a more budget-friendly Egypt. In January it is still warm enough to sunbathe, but you will have to swim in the pool. For children this is only a plus. In winter, it is better to relax in Sharm El Sheikh, as it is less windy here due to the surrounding mountain ranges. Unfortunately, so far everything is going to the point that by January, tours to Egypt with charters will not be sold yet.

Most often, our tourists fly to Thailand on vacation with their children in January. It’s quite possible to find a family hotel here, and the children’s entertainment industry will not let you get bored. If you plan your flight after January 4-5 and miss the first week of school, then you can easily meet up to 150,000 rubles for everyone.

Southern resorts are also suitable for families with children. Many even consider them more suitable for family tourism. There, according to tourists, there is less debauchery, which can be found willy-nilly at Thai resorts.

For those who prefer European service and active recreation, we recommend considering . Here, children can enjoy a killer whale show, a stunning water park, a hike to the crater of a volcano and unforgettable landscapes. Swimming pools in hotels and water parks are heated to +24º, and the ocean is still quite warm (+21º).

Of the exotic destinations, the best fit. Here children are welcome in 5* hotels with high quality service, snow-white beaches, palm trees and a sea of ​​sun. In terms of service, Cuba and Mexico are noticeably inferior in terms of quality.

Weekend tours to amusement parks

An original and fairly budget-friendly solution - a trip to Paris or Barcelona. Near each of the cities there are some of the largest amusement parks in the world: Disneyland and Port Aventura.

It's best to go to weekdays, when there is not such a high demand for hotels and air tickets. It is better to choose housing between parks and the metropolis, so as not to overpay for the location. To visit the park, any child will be ready to go through the museum halls of the Louvre :)

In Europe there are other amusement parks that operate on New Year's holidays:

Looking for Santa Claus

Another popular type of family tourism is independent trips V Finland. This is where families go to look for Santa Claus. In the city of Rovaniemi is the residence of the Finnish Santa - Joulupukki, with elves, reindeer, gifts and gingerbread cookies.

Or you can save money and visit.

Holidays at ski resorts

Many refuse ski holiday due to one’s own inability or unwillingness to ski. Great! Don't ride. But don’t deprive your child of pleasure, and don’t deprive yourself of walks. fresh air and stunning views. Beautiful scenery, clean mountain air, snow, family evenings by the fireplace - all this is quite possible and at a price much cheaper than a holiday at sea.

On the territory of the Krasnaya Polyana resort there are 3 ski resorts - Rosa Khutor, Gazprom Laura and Gornaya Karusel. The skiing season begins in December and ends in mid-spring. All ski resorts of the resort are located on the territory of the villages of Esto-Sadok and Krasnaya Polyana. The distance from one ski resort to another is from 1 to 5 kilometers.

IN middle lane Summer lasts three months, but the beach season in most cases falls exclusively at the end of July. In addition, it is quite difficult to find clean, equipped beaches in your hometown. You can relax on small rivers or lakes, but lovers of quality leisure prefer to go to warm countries and spend your vacation time as varied and interesting as possible.
