Якщо ви хочете змінити оточення та втекти від метушні сучасного міста, найкраще рішення – це поїхати у віддалені куточки сільської природи, де місцеві мешканці запропонують щирий прийом та безліч розваг.
Зрештою, де ще ви змогли б поласувати щойно зірваним яблуком, свіжим медом з вулика, позбирати гриби та ягоди?
У Карпатах можна подорожувати на позашляховиках, їздити на гірських велосипедах та квадро циклах, або просто здійснити гірських похід з компанією друзів та гідом.
Восени справжньою Меккою для туристів стає озеро Світязь. В 100-300 метрах від води тут розташовано багато затишних котеджів, побудованих із соснових зрубів. Якщо ви не боїтеся у цю пору року захворіти на застуду, то можете зануритися у цілющі води місцевих озер, які широко відомі високим вмістом срібла.
Справжні традиції українського села можна пізнати у центральних та північних регіонах. Хоча серед природного середовища тут вже зараз можна побачити сучасні комфортабельні маєтки, однак багато місцевих жителів спеціально для туристів оновлюють старі хати, добудовують спеціальні печі та сіновали.
Відпочинок у Криму залишається найдорожчим задоволенням. Тут окрім помешкання та пристойних житлових умов, туристам пропонують різні екскурсії, дайвінг сафарі на джипі, скуштувати традиційну татарську кухню, тощо.
