 Summer 2026: Where to Go — 5 Trending Destinations I was browsing the latest flight deals and travel trends — here's a selection of destinations that are both affordable and exciting to fly to this summer. 1. **Turkey** — a classic, but with a twist. In 2026, several new hotel concepts have opened in the Beldibi and Cirali areas — for those tired of the all-inclusive mega-resorts. 2. **Egypt** — Marsa Alam is gaining momentum. Prices are lower than in Sharm el-Sheikh, and the coral reefs are the best in the Red Sea. 3. **Samarkand (Uzbekistan)** — from the Aviasales feed: "What to see in a day." A fairy-tale city, with direct flights from Moscow starting at 8,000 RUB round trip in June. 4. **St. Petersburg + Leningrad Oblast** — 12 beaches for those who don't want a passport. Sestroretsk, Komarovo, Lake Ilmen — an alternative to the stuffy city. 5. **Phu Quoc (Vietnam)** — but at a discount: tourists complain about trash on the beaches, so hotels are lowering prices. If you're up for an adventure, you can snag a last-minute deal.
