Where to go for the May holidays, where you can swim in early May. Where to go to the sea at the end of May so that the sea is warm? Beach holiday end of May

0

When we talk about the month of May, we mean that it is already warm and sunny. And if so, then we want to enter the warm sea and swim. But where is the warm and gentle sea in May? There are such places, and we will tell you them. And you will know where to go to the sea at the end of May, so that the sea is warm and you can enjoy your vacation. So, let's look at our list of what we have prepared.

Islands of Greece.

IN warm Greece beach season can be opened as early as April. But it’s still better to swim in May so as not to get sick and have fun. But in May, not throughout Greece you can swim. After all, somewhere the water is heated to +22 degrees and above, and somewhere it barely reaches +17 degrees. So be careful when choosing a place to stay.
For example, the island of Rhodes will gladly welcome you and delight you with excellent sea. You can swim in the sea, where the water will be heated to +23 degrees. And the air will be above +25. But even at such a comfortable temperature, you shouldn’t overuse bathing. Do not stay in the water for more than 30 minutes and do not swim very far.
Also, the island of Crete will delight you with warmth and almost summer sea. The water will also be heated to +23 degrees. And the air may be even warmer and reach +26 degrees.
So see for yourself where it is better for you to go.
Since the season is just opening in May, and there are no mass holidays, you can go to Greece at a very low price. So take this fact into account. And if one tour operator offers you an overpriced tour, then look at others to see how much the same tour to the same hotel costs.

Slightly cool Cyprus.

If in Greece the water in the sea is already warmed up for swimming, then in Cyprus it begins to warm up. Although almost all tourists swim in the Mediterranean Sea from the Cyprus side. And they swim because the air is warm enough and you won’t freeze when you get out of the water.
And the water will be heated to +21 degrees. Meanwhile, the air will have time to warm up to +25 and above. So nothing will ruin your holiday in Cyprus in May.
As for the prices, they are not very high. After all, the season is just beginning and the locals need to lure tourists to their place after the winter downtime. And tourists happily fly here to relax and not spend a lot of money.

Israel is a great place for a seaside holiday.

But in Israel, on the Red Sea, the beach season is already in full swing. And this is not surprising, because the water is higher than +25 degrees! And the air is absolutely fiery +33 degrees! The only disadvantage of a beach holiday in Israel is that the beaches often border on military installations. And this is all explained by the safety of tourists. It is no secret that Israel is in conflict with many of its neighbors. And sometimes they exchange missile strikes.
But this is the only inconvenience. But there are a huge number of advantages. This is a first-class holiday. This includes treatment in the best spa salons in the world. And this is a treatment by nature at the Dead Sea. And you don’t need to apply for a visa.
As for prices, after the closure of Turkey and Egypt for Russians, the Israeli authorities immediately reduced the price for our tourists. This was done in order to attract as many tourists as possible in the first years. So don’t miss the chance to relax in the country for a meager amount. Because in just a couple of years, prices will go up when demand is higher than supply.

IN last month spring comfortable, warm and even hot weather installed in many resorts. We offer you a small selection of tours where you can relax at sea in May.

All tours are sold online, there is no need to contact travel agencies. The cost of tours departing from your city can be found on the websites.

For example, 20,320 rubles for Turkey for two! I think it's gorgeous!

By the way, the most advanced tourists in April are actively booking tours to Turkey for the summer. If you are also planning to relax on the Turkish Riviera in June-August, we recommend that you do not hesitate and do not think twice about purchasing vouchers. Those who buy in the summer a week before vacation overpay on average by about 45%.

Tours to Thailand in May 2019

Thailand is traditionally warm and good, but from the end of April the rainy season begins in some parts of the country, which may not be entirely comfortable for relaxation. Don’t let the tropical downpour scare you - of course it pours like buckets, but as a rule, it doesn’t last long - just a couple of hours and the sun is back.

In Phuket in May, sea waves are possible, east coast— Samui, Tau, Phangan - the weather is very comfortable, and Pattaya will also be relatively dry.

Tours to Montenegro in May 2019

In the first half of May in Montenegro there is quite warm weather, and the summer season begins in mid-May, when the water warms up to comfortable temperature. It must be taken into account that in May there are few tourists in Montenegro - and therefore not all coastal zones fully equipped and therefore prices are not yet at their peak.

Greece also opens in May tourist season. The air temperature in Rhodes, Crete and other popular seaside resorts is about +28, water temperature is +21.

Tours to Israel in May 2019

If you choose price-quality for a seaside holiday in the spring, then Israel can be placed at the top of the list. At the beginning of May, the sea and air warm up well, but there is no intense heat yet. Therefore, it will be very comfortable to visit attractions and sunbathe and swim on the beach. The temperature of the Red and Dead Seas is close to 28-30 degrees, and the Mediterranean is about 25-27 Celsius. In addition, May in Israel is full of various interesting events and holidays: at the beginning of the month, locals celebrate Lag Bar Omer - bonfires will be lit, songs will be sung and archery competitions will be held.

Tours to Bulgaria in May 2019

Bulgaria, like Greece, is still just beginning its tourist season in May and swimming in the sea may be slightly cool, possible light rain. The temperature on the coast is around +25 degrees, it is very comfortable to sunbathe, but swimming at +20 is still not the same as at +27, although again this does not stop our compatriots in May. But for the summer - it’s time, we strongly recommend buying trips to Bulgaria now, in the summer it will be much more expensive, due to the fact that there is no large quantity charter flights.

To travel to Bulgaria, you need either a national Bulgarian visa or an open, valid Schengen multiple visa issued by any country.

Tours to Tunisia in May 2019

Beach season begins in Tunisia in May. Tour operators are launching direct charter flights, and hotels are reopening their doors after the winter break.

Past May holidays we spent on the beaches Caribbean Sea: on the island and, capturing along the way the beaches of the island in Cuba and.

Therefore, here we will talk about relatively inexpensive and not difficult trips to the sea in early May.

I will not touch upon package destinations to Turkey, the UAE, Israel or Tunisia - the entire tourist RuNet is littered with brave reports about massive sales of tours to those regions, just like in Sochi.

I won’t write about Crete either - it was already written about in 2016 and it seemed to me there.

Let me remind you of Cyprus, Spain, Italy and Thailand.

Thailand for May holidays

Fresh memories: we returned from Thailand a couple of weeks ago.
We inspected the islands of the Gulf of Thailand and rested on an island in the southern part of Thailand - Koh Lipe.

We look at air tickets to Bangkok or Phuket. Prices range from 18.5 Oman Air to 25 Emirates.

In the review about Koh Kood, there is a map with marked beaches, as well as many photos and recommendations where to stay on the island.
.

Of the places to stay in Phuket, I recommend the area.

Firstly, the weather is already “whispering”; secondly, there is no large influx of tourists; thirdly, it was at this time in different countries Oh, there are bright, memorable festivals.

You need to understand that on the territory of these cities there are a huge number of health resorts, boarding houses and sanatoriums. In the spring they are not yet filled to capacity, which means that all the relaxation and therapeutic offers can be taken advantage of in a quiet and peaceful environment.

However, fans of “wild” holidays also like to go to the Black Sea coast in May. There are still no sweltering hot nights and annoying mosquitoes, the beaches are not hidden under a thick layer of garbage, and the sea breeze pleases with freshness.

Photos from our trip to Rhodes

Holidays abroad in May 2019 are spent in different ways. If your plans definitely include swimming, then you have a direct flight to Cuba, Thailand, Bali, Israel. The latter, not only is it close, it is also convenient to visit without a visa, just like Turkey. Although the water near the Turkish coast is not yet warm enough.

Going on vacation to Cyprus, Greece, Tenerife ( Canary Islands), you can count on high level service, well-groomed beaches, visiting excursion programs and tons of local flavor. But even in warm, sunny weather, you will mainly be sunbathing on the beaches, since the water is still a bit cold.

May: where to go without a visa?

A visa is not only tedious/time-consuming/nervous (underline as appropriate), but also costs at least 4,000 rubles per person. Not very fun, especially if a family with children aged 6+ is traveling.

• Türkiye
• Tunisia
• Cyprus (online and free)

Of course, each of us would prefer inexpensive holiday abroad in May. It should be noted that in every country there are both well-promoted pretentious ones and more affordable ones, but no less comfortable places. And for those who want to save big, there are always last-minute tours.

You can already swim in all three, which means you don’t have to look for something to do for at least two hours a day :)

When considering where to go to the seaside in May with a child, parents should take into account many factors: the duration of the flight, the climate, the availability of conditions for a beach holiday with children. Resorts meet all these requirements:

• Israel
• Spain

But if you want your baby to splash in the sea and are not afraid of tiring flights, choose Thailand or Vietnam. Although the resorts of these countries may be somewhat inferior to Europe in terms of service, this is more than compensated for by the gentle water and tropical landscapes.

How to relax in May 2019

It is already known how we relax during the May holidays in 2019. From the 1st to the 5th is the official weekend in honor of the Spring and Labor Festival. And, of course, Victory Day - non-working days last from May 9 to May 12.

By taking a short vacation/day off for a few days, you can extend the weekend in May to almost two weeks and enjoy doing nothing on the beach to the maximum. 🙂
