Looking for a Place to Relax in October Amid the War
With over 7 months of a full-scale war, our country has demonstrated its determination and bravery to the world. We are not only fighting on the fronts for our freedom and independence, but we are also battling economic, political, and information wars. Despite the ongoing battles, it is crucial for the well-being of our bodies to take a break. Psychologists recommend taking a trip abroad to escape the constant anxiety and tension. To make it easier for travelers to choose, the specialists at "TurpoisK" have come up with a list of the best destinations.
The Velvet Season by the Sea
Don't think it's too late to enjoy the sea in autumn. The velvet season has just begun on the shores of the Mediterranean and other temperate seas. There are plenty of warm destinations to relax on the beach in October:
1. Turkey
This popular summer destination is an ideal place to relax during the velvet season. In October, the heat is not extreme, the sea is warm for swimming, and there are fewer tourists and affordable prices. You can travel to Mediterranean resorts like Alanya, Kemer, Belek, Side, and Antalya from Ukraine by plane or bus. "TurpoisK" offers convenient charter flights from the closest European air hubs and comfortable bus travel with air conditioning, a TV, and electrical outlets.
2. Greece
The stunning Balkan country invites travelers to visit its mainland and island resorts in autumn. Thessaloniki, picturesque sea villages on the Kassandra or Sithonia peninsulas, the Peloponnese, or Athens can be visited through bus tours departing from Kyiv in October. The tour route is flexible and can be joined in cities like Zhytomyr, Rivne, Chernivtsi, or Lviv. Tours to the Greek island resorts of Corfu, Crete, or Rhodes can also be purchased with departures from Poland, Moldova, and other European countries. The stunning scenery, hospitable hotels, and delicious local cuisine will provide a much-needed emotional recharge.
3. Spain
October is the perfect time to visit the Mediterranean resorts of Spain like the Costa Brava, Costa Blanca, and Costa Dorada, as well as the Canary Islands. Tenerife is a must-visit destination with a departure from Moldova. The resorts offer sunny and dry weather, and the ocean waters are pleasantly warm. "TurpoisK" offers transfer services from Ukraine to the air hub in Chisinau.
4. Hot Exotic Options
Many Ukrainians prefer well-known destinations for year-round vacations in October. Unfortunately, due to closed airspace for civil aircraft, these destinations can only be reached from neighboring countries like Moldova, Romania, Poland, or Hungary.
5. Egypt
October marks the peak season in Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab, Marsa Alam, and other Red Sea resorts. The comfort of hotel services, bright coral gardens, and many activities will delight travelers from Ukraine.
6. UAE
Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah, and Abu Dhabi are the popular Emirates resorts for Ukrainian travelers in October. Both the more relaxed and conservative Sharjah and the colorful and technological Dubai are great options for families.
7. Tanzania
October is the perfect month to visit the island of Zanzibar. The air is warm at an average temperature of +29 °C, and the ocean waters are ideal for swimming and diving. A real must-do in Zanzibar is a safari to see wild animals in their natural habitat.
