Only in our country the New Year holidays stretch for two weeks. The chiming clock, the popping of champagne bottles and the President’s greetings are soon replaced by Orthodox Christmas. Next comes such an oxymoron as the Old New Year. After which all together celebrate Baptism. And if you summarize all these holidays and add a short vacation of two weeks to them, then you can get full leisure for a month. Where to go in January to the sea? This question is being asked by more and more Russians who are not attracted to the swim in the hole in Epiphany.
Winter is in full swing, so some have already managed to get fed up with it. And how do you feel like diving from snow-covered cities onto the warmed sand of beaches and warming your tired bones under the southern sun. True, the first month of the year is the coldest in the Northern Hemisphere. In this regard, the list of countries where you can go to the sea in January is significantly narrowed. Spain, Greece, Turkey, Italy and Israel fall off.
In Egypt, of course, you will not freeze, but the temperature of the Red Sea at +18 ... 20 degrees may not seem to someone the best alternative to an ice hole. But the cool weather in Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh directly affects the prices of tickets. For many tourists, this fact is a decisive factor when choosing where to go to the sea in January.
In the Emirates, it is incomparably warmer, but even there a warm windbreaker or sweater will come in handy - in the evenings it is pretty cool. Moreover, this country is Muslim, and they will not understand the deep neckline and buttocks looking out from under the skirt. But there is an opportunity to buy clothes and shoes of world famous brands for little money.
Fans of Ayurveda and meditation do not ask where to go to the sea in January, but immediately go to the north of the Indian state of Goa. Lovers of parties and pleasures balancing on the verge of breaking the law are leaving there. If you try, you can buy a tour relatively inexpensive. Comfort lovers prefer the southern part of Goa. The cost of tours there increases at times. And nature is the same in both parts of the state: white beaches, turquoise lagoons and stunning sunsets. The vivid imagery of Hinduism and the spiciness of local cuisine bring their charm to this tropical bliss.
Nevertheless, there is a place in Europe
where a vacation in January at sea will be warm in summer. The Canary Islands are located so close to the tropical zone that even in winter there is quite comfortable temperature. If a cloud runs across the azure sky, then it's time to temporarily stop the tanning session and take part in a stunning action - a carnival. And he is celebrated in the Canaries on a grand scale. Costume parades, contests, performances and concerts - just do not count!
Traveling to the sea in January to tropical countries is expensive, but the price fully pays for the opportunities that open up for tourists. Thailand, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, Kenya, Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives, Vietnam, South Africa - everywhere the same warm and good, because the peak of the tourist season reigns. Neither rains nor tropical typhoons will overshadow your vacation.
