The prices of flights and vacations are skyrocketing and this coming summer they are expected to be tens of percent more expensive than what we knew before the Corona period.
Flights to Paris sell for more than a thousand dollars on certain dates and to London or Amsterdam it is difficult to find direct flights at prices we have known until recently.
So where can one fly without incurring unnecessary expenses?
Get to know the destinations where prices are still affordable.
First and foremost recommendation - if you can fly in June, the prices are much cheaper than in July and August, even in early September the prices are relatively favorable, in any case it is recommended to close everything as soon as possible and with a convenient cancellation option.
Sharm el-Sheikh -
the new destination that is conquering Israelis is a great opportunity for a tummy tuck vacation at affordable prices.
Tourists from Russia and Ukraine used to come to Sharm en masse but now following the war, there are very few tourists in the area, which lowers the prices of hotels there that are already so cheap in the first place.
Accommodation there is very cheap and you can find flights at prices starting from $ 250 per person.

Antalya
- Another destination that came back to us this year and by and large is the perfect destination for families.
Beyond the cheap prices in Antalya and beyond the fact that it has also been based quite a bit on tourists from Russia and Ukraine until recently, it offers the full package for families.
All-inclusive hotels of a very high standard with activities for children, pools and food around the clock will make your expenses on the holiday itself small.
Of course there are direct flights to Antalya and a huge variety of hotels to choose from.
Another thing that is important to remember - the Turkish lira is very weak against the shekel, which puts the Israeli tourist in an excellent position even when going on a shopping spree or just visiting a local restaurant.
In the summer it is very hot, the demand goes down and so do the prices.

Dubai -
Those who like warm weather and can handle 35 degrees and sometimes even more, can enjoy Dubai at relatively affordable prices.
The recommended season to visit the country is actually in the first months of the year and at the end of the year, in a very hot summer, the demand goes down and with them the prices of flights and hotels.
It is important to remember that most attractions in Dubai are indoor and air-conditioned, so you can enjoy it even on hot summer days, just do not forget to drink plenty of water and apply sunscreen.
It is important to remember that Dubai is generally considered a relatively expensive destination and the summer vacation there will not be as cheap as in Antalya, but it is an opportunity to experience the destination at much cheaper prices than at the height of the season.
Poland -
a paradise for shopping enthusiasts, excellent hotels for NIS 200-300 per night and excellent nightlife.
Warsaw, Krakow and other destinations have become a hit with tourists and some call it "New Berlin".
Whole meals in a good restaurant can end up at 60-70 shekels per person, the clothes there are tens of percent cheaper than in Israel and of course there are large and luxurious outlet centers where you can spend whole days.
Another advantage in Poland is the cheap flight prices and in June you can fly there for $ 120 (round trip).
Lots of shopping.

Romania -
another destination that combines nightlife, shopping and nature and a short flight from Israel.
Thanks to the wide range of flights to the country, here too there are flights for a few tens of dollars one way during the month of June and the hotels in the country are significantly cheaper than most European destinations.
The flight to Bucharest is short and lasts about three hours and is suitable for everyone - couples, young people and of course for family trips and organized trips.
Trips in Romania can also include the spectacular nature that this country has to offer and so you can actually enjoy a varied trip at completely reasonable prices.
