After all, you can start your vacation in the spring and have fun on the sandy shore, listening to the sound of the waves and the singing of seagulls. There are a lot of places where to relax in May 2019 abroad inexpensively. A beach holiday at the end of spring is possible in many countries of Europe, Africa and far South America. It's hard to visit them all. But it is possible to choose one or two for recreation, which we will do.

The end of spring is very different on our planet. If the beach season begins in Europe, gardens and trees bloom, then the rainy season begins in Asia, and about comfortable rest here you can forget until autumn. At the same time, in the Caribbean, the weather is very attractive to soak up the ocean and enjoy the most luxury vacation in life. As for Africa, only three countries on this continent can boast of comfortable weather in May. And so, let's talk about continents and countries in detail.

Holidays in Europe.
The closest continent to us is Europe. And there are many countries that open the beach season with me.
First of all, it is worth mentioning Turkey, without whose beaches many tourists no longer imagine their May holidays. But in Turkey these days it is not comfortable to rest everywhere. The weather on the Black Sea is the same as in the south of Russia. Therefore, it is cool here, it rains and the cold sea. But the resorts of Turkey on the Mediterranean Sea are much warmer.

And welcome tourists. The popular resort of Alanya boasts a temperature of over +25 degrees. And the sea with a temperature not lower than +22 degrees. The resort of Belek is a little warmer. Here, during the day, the thermometers rise to +28, at night +20, and the sea up to +23 degrees.

A trip to Italy in May will be remembered forever. At this time of the year, the whole country blooms and smells. Flowers are blooming everywhere, trees are beginning to blossom, and nature is joyfully welcoming everyone with its beauty. The average temperature in Italy in May is not lower than +23 degrees. It can fluctuate in different regions, and sometimes in the south of the country it can be up to +29 during the day. But in the evenings it is cold here, and in the same south it is not higher than +14. Therefore, when going to Italy in May, be sure to bring warm clothes with you.

As for the sea, it is also better to swim here in the Mediterranean Sea. The Adriatic Sea is still cool and will warm up only by mid-June. So choose Sardinia, Naples or the island of Sicily for your vacation.

In Spain, in May it is already real summer. There are a huge number of resorts where you can relax. For example, in Malaga during the day it is +26 degrees. A draw not lower than +19. And the sea off the coast of the resort +20. In Barcelona, ​​May is always sunny and not hot. A light breeze blows from the sea and makes sun exposure comfortable. IN daytime here +20 +22, and at night a little cooler around +15.

Spain has many islands that have world fame. In Ibiza, the sun is plus 22 degrees and the warm sea. Mallorca is even warmer, not lower than +24. And the sea is almost the same +23 degrees. Off the coast of Tenerife, the sea is +20, and the air is warmed up to +25. So Canary Islands great for a beach holiday.

Cyprus and Greece are also welcome tourists. Comfortable weather is established here, without rain and without wind. In Cyprus, you can relax in the resorts of Paphos and Larnaca. And if you choose Greece, then you should look at the islands of Rhodes and Crete.

Holidays in Africa and the Red Sea.
The Red Sea washes the coast of Israel and Egypt. In May, the weather is gorgeous in both countries. During the day it is always above +29, the nights are warm with indicators not lower than +23 degrees. The Red Sea is warmed up to gorgeous +25, while it is clean and you can go diving while looking at undersea world.

An undeniable advantage is that Russians do not need to obtain a visa to Israel and Egypt. This simplifies the journey and saves time and money.

Tunisia also opens its beach season. In early May, there is still a cool sea. But sunny weather allows you to sunbathe by the sea. And if you want to swim, then many hotels have large pools right by the sea. In them you can relax with comfort and enjoyment.

Morocco is another African country where it is comfortable to relax in May. Here, by the way, you can choose which sea to relax on. You can go to the Mediterranean Sea closer to Strait of Gibraltar. And you can relax on the beach Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the Canary Islands.

Asia and South America.
In Asia, almost all resorts are closed. There is a rainy season and it is better not to come to the same Thailand. If you are lucky and there is no rain, then there will definitely be a heat of +40 degrees. In such heat there is a strong evaporation, and it will be very uncomfortable.
If you choose an Asian country, then Bali. Here in May the weather is dry, the air warms up to +32. And the sea is simply magnificent, reaching a mark of +28 degrees. Plus, Bali is just super nature, and you can visit excursions that you will remember no less than relaxing on the ocean.

Indonesia, Bali

Bali is one of the most popular destinations for Russians. You can relax on the sea in May perfectly, as at this time it is established good weather. A small green island in Indonesia is freed from the monsoons, bringing torrential downpours, and a tropical winter begins. It is warmer and drier in the south: here the air temperature reaches + 33 ° С, at night + 23 ... + 24 ° С, the sea is very warm + 29 ° С, in other regions the figures are somewhat lower.

Full-fledged swimming becomes possible already towards the end of May - it is at this time that lovers of sunbathing on the beach come to Greece. In the beginning and middle of the month, tourists go on excursions more. In May, it is good to visit open objects - ancient amphitheaters and temple complexes: the area has not yet been scorched by the sun, and the heat is quite easily tolerated.

Therapeutic mud from the Dead Sea is successfully used in local spa centers operating all year round, skin diseases, nervous disorders, pathologies of the respiratory organs, ENT and endocrine disorders are treated here.

However, local beaches are never crowded, as high ticket prices prevent Jordan from becoming a center of mass tourism. Our compatriots most often visit Jordan along with an excursion from nearby neighboring countries. Meanwhile, this is one of the safest countries for tourists, including women traveling alone.

Most often, package tours involve beach holidays and excursions. Biblical places attract pilgrims from all over the world. Several thousand ancient monuments have been preserved in the country. The main attractions visited were the rock city of Petra, the city of Jeyrash and other places sung in Old Testament. In May, Jordan hosts the World Rally Championship on the coast of the Dead Sea, Labor Day on May 1 and Independence Day on May 25 are celebrated here.

Tunisia

In Tunisia in May, the weather is quite changeable: it is usually warm, during the day + 25 ° C, the water warms up to + 20 ° C, but there may be rain with strong winds. Beach activities can be perfectly combined with thalassotherapy and spa treatments: the main centers are located in Hammamet and operate on the basis of local hotels.

lovers sea ​​fishing will be able to indulge in their favorite hobby: in Tunisia it is good to fish both from the shore and from a boat. Diving centers near Tabarka are open for divers. In addition, May good time for excursions: jeep safaris to the Sahara desert, trips to ancient Carthage and the El Jem Coliseum are very popular, boat trips on yachts and sailboats are no less popular.

Sri Lanka

Another exotic destination for our tourists, where you can relax in May 2019 at sea - the island of Sri Lanka. This month the weather here is very changeable: torrential downpours formed over the Arabian Sea and strive to fall on the island. However, the northeastern part of the island, protected by a dense mountain range, remains dry and sunny even during this period, and the beach season is quite successful there.

In the area of ​​the resorts of Trincomalee and Arugam Bay, the air temperature is kept at around + 31 ... + 33 ° С, the water in the sea is + 29 ... + 30 ° С, it rains here no more than 4 days per month. But visiting the capital in May is no longer the best idea, because of the heavy and frequent rains in Colombo it becomes too humid, and such a trip can be a real test for an unprepared tourist.

Surfers and divers most often choose holidays in Arugam Bay, lovers of quiet and a relaxing holiday under the palm trees - the sandy beaches of Trincomalee and the shallow waters of Casuarina. A lazy beach holiday under palm trees is easy to combine with Ayurvedic healing treatments or a visit to the hot springs near Nilaveli. Fans of antiquities will be able to admire the unique temple monuments of Trincomalee and Anuradhapura.

In addition, in May 2019 you can have a great time on the beaches Maldives, in Mexico and the Dominican Republic - the weather conditions there are simply wonderful, but not everyone can afford the cost of a tour.

Below are listed 10 the best places for holidays with children in May.

May for holidays with children at sea is a problematic month. The Black Sea has not warmed up, the Mediterranean Sea has warmed up only in a few areas. Long flights will not save too much, as the rainy season begins in many tropical resorts. Therefore, the top 10 in May for families with children includes such places as Cuba, Bali, Mauritius, which, due to their remoteness and high cost, were not included in the tops in other months.

Listed on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand. In Thailand, the rainy season begins in May, so it is better to replace the traditional holiday in Phuket with Koh Samui, as there is significantly less rainfall. It will also be a good holiday in Krabi.

The water in May in the Mediterranean area is cool and swimming will not bring much pleasure to children and parents. As in June, only the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea can be considered acceptable for swimming. And the most successful choice in May will be a holiday in Cyprus. In early May, countries such as Israel (Eilat) and Egypt can be considered for families with children. The water there will be warm, but, alas, the air temperature can be very hot.

Rest on the coasts of the Black Sea in May is not comfortable for swimming.
