10 cheap paradise places worth visiting

Avarua, Cook Islands

Formally, these islands are part of New Zealand, but from this archipelago they are located in 2008 km to the northeast. Local tropical beaches are not inferior to Maldivian or Seychellois, but you can rent accommodation here for $ 130 per month.

Local residents are Polynesian aborigines, and they are not spoiled by tourists at all.

Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic

This fabulous town is located in the Bohemian province of Bohemia. The whole city is like one huge medieval castle. All the streets in it are cobbled. There are regularly held fairs in the style of the Renaissance, as well as an incomparable Festival of Roses. A three-course dinner for two here is $ 20 a year, and you can rent an apartment for $ 400 a month. And there is also the Vltava River - an ideal place for rafting enthusiasts. The only catch is that for a normal life here it is necessary to at least learn a little Czech.

Koh Tonsai, Cambodia

It is a small island in the south of Cambodia. A real paradise of jungles and beaches. Here, almost no one lives, except for a few fishing families. So you can find a suitable bungalow for ridiculous money. Here you can relax on the beach or explore the local cave in the jungle. For five bucks, the local fishermen right in front of you will cook a delicious dinner from the crab they've caught. And any other seafood here are worth a dollar or two.

What is the catch? Well, this is not a "children's" clean beach island, where you will lie for days on end under an umbrella. A wild local beach is sometimes adorned with flocks of stray dogs or other forest dwellers. But only here you can feel how far you are from civilization.

Guanajuato, Mexico

Right in the middle of Mexico is the classy culturally developed city of Guanajuato. Excellent apartment here can be rented for $ 150-200 per month, a glass of beer in the bar costs less than $ 1, and a ticket to the cinema - a miserable $ 3.

This part of Goa is quite deserted, and the locals are not as spoiled by tourists as in the other part of the Indian coast. And in Agonda there are almost no hippies with their stupid plastic glasses. But here there is a large number of temples and places for yoga.

Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria
