In order to more correctly answer the question where it is better to rest in Moldova, it is necessary to clearly understand what you yourself expect from this rest and what preference preferences. To, regret, sea or ski resorts, which are most popular among tourists, there is no, but nevertheless interesting and unique places in their natural beauty. To enjoy the nature of Moldova, and at the same time combining it with a beach holiday, you can select several options. The most popular of them will be a holiday in Vadul-Lui-Vode.
This is a picturesque area on the banks of the Dniester River, which is located just over twenty kilometers from the capital of Moldova, Chisinau. Every year, a large number of tourists are resting here not only from the republic, but from abroad.
For a comfortable and full-fledged holiday, in Vadul-Luu-Vode, a lot of hotels, recreation centers, children's camps and other real estate facilities were built. There are many entertainment facilities such as discos, nightclubs, carousel with attractions, concert venues, etc. This resort is drowning in greenery, and many buildings are located inside the forest-park zone. On the bank of the Dniester are beautiful beaches, which are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay, there are sports fields for football and beach volleyball. Water sports work. Those who wish can make a fascinating walk on the boat along the river.
At concert sites, various performances are held with the participation of Artists of the Moldavian and Foreign pop. As I said, there are objects for both accommodation and entertainment, people of various age categories, so the rest in Vadul-Lui-Vode will suit everyone. As for the rest period, it is best to choose in the interval from the beginning of July to the beginning of September. At this time, the water and air temperature is the most comfortable. Prices for accommodation, food and other expenses can be completely different because it all depends on your choice. There are luxury hotels and villas, high level comfort,
And quite budget options, the cost of living in which begins from one hundred fifty Moldovan lei per day, which is at the moment about eight dollars.
If we talk about places, directly in the vicinity of Chisinau, then I must say about the recreation area of Gidigich, which is less than fifteen kilometers from the capital.
This is also a rather popular place, especially in the Chisinau, who spend their weekends here. Gidigich is located on the shore of the eponymous reservoir, which occupies an area of almost nine square kilometers and depth, in some places, up to ten meters. Most of the coast is covered with greens, in the depths of which are recreation areas. Many are equipped with mangals, for self-use so, if desired, there is an opportunity to cook kebabs, fry "Mitity" (a popular Moldovan dish made from meat minced meat in the form and the size of a finger) or weld a beautiful ear of fish, caught with your own hands.
Fisteers of fishing will be not interesting to find out that in the Gedigich reservoir there is about a dozen species of fish, both peaceful breeds and predatory. Fish fishing is allowed at any time of the year, for the exception of the spawning period, and this from the beginning of May, by the beginning of July.
But for those who are going to spend their holidays here, it is not so important, because for a comfortable stay, it is best to choose the period after the end of the ban of fishing, that is, from the beginning of July, when water warms up to normal swimming temperature. You can relax until mid-September, while the weather conditions are suitable for this type of rest.
As for such places, it is necessary to name the city of Soroki, located in the north of Moldova and standing on the banks of the Dniester River. There is no rest area in the city, but there are many amazing natural corners in its surroundings that attract tourists and locals.
The natural landscape itself is much more beautiful than in the previously described Vadul-Lui-Vode, which is also located on the shore of the Dniester. The recreation bases here, for the most part, are a group of wooden houses scattered in the forest array on the banks of the river. Environmental beauty and solitude with nature causes a special feeling and moral satisfaction. Here you forget about the daily problems and the bustle that you come across in everyday life. It is a vacation not only for the body, but also the soul. The terrain here is places quite crossed, which attracts many lovers of eco-tourism, which in recent years is gaining momentum.
And in these parts there are historical attractions, such as Kieli, begged in the sheer rocks by monks, several centuries ago.
In Somom, the city is located one of the main attractions not only the city, but the whole of Moldova, the "Soroka fortress", which was built in the fifteenth century. A more detailed description of the attractions of this edge is described in the article about the city of Soroki.
Literally a few words, I want to say about another interesting place for recreation, which is located on the shores of the Kosostashovsky reservoir.
This place is located near the border with Romania, where the power plant on the Prut River is built. It is interesting that during the construction of the dam, it was necessary to flood a part of the village, which was in the lowland. As a result, the houses were at the bottom of the reservoir (the population was resettled).
Now, sometimes when the water is discharged, when the level becomes minimal, sailing on the boat over the former village, you can see the outline of church domes in depth, which was in the place of flooding. In terms of fishing, this is a favorite place not only to the local fishermen. Here come from all of Moldova and not only. But I want to say that until recently there was no specially equipped areas of recreation, except for one small, where several mobile car houses or tents were offered. Although there is also a kind, romance too.
In short, a description of several places where you can relax (as you understand in the summer) in Moldova. But not only the summer period can be chosen for recreation. There are other, no less interesting places in which it may also like in winter. As for Moldavian autumn, you can write a separate story about it.
