Yekaterinburg residents are finding diverse ways to enjoy their summer vacations, with some traveling to far-flung destinations and others finding joy closer to home. Despite the cooler temperatures of local bodies of water, residents are sharing their experiences.

Many Yekaterinburg residents have chosen to travel within Russia. Popular destinations include Lake Baikal, Altai, and the southern regions of Novorossiysk, Lazarevskoye, and Adler. These locations offer beautiful landscapes and coastal experiences. One traveler praised Sochi, emphasizing that a good vacation is about the scenery and not just unlimited food and drinks.

Others have ventured abroad for their summer getaways. Egypt and the Chinese resort of Hainan are among the international destinations. Some are exploring Turkey’s northern mountains, while others are enjoying the sea in Kemer.

For those who couldn’t travel far, creating a vacation atmosphere at home has been the solution. Residents are enjoying time in their gardens, swimming in pools at their dachas, or simply relaxing at home. One person humorously noted their “bathroom sea” due to ongoing construction. Some residents are also preparing for the E1 SUP FEST, an event involving stand-up paddleboarding.
