Here is our Top 3 list of best extreme countries in the world and the first place hold Armenia. You can spend your best extreme adventure holidays in Armenia. Just try to search this country and you will see this miracle.
Armenia
Everyone knows that Armenia is an ancient country, rich in a large number of historical monuments. It is also a region with an extraordinary scenic nature, so tourists come here to relax, gain strength and improve their health. However, this country will appeal to lovers of active and extreme rest, as it offers excellent opportunities for it.
Extreme tours to Armenia are becoming increasingly popular. Such areas as mountaineering and climbing are especially in demand, because there are ideal conditions for these sports thanks to the abundance of rock massifs and mountains.
Here come both beginners and professionals. Such areas of mountaineering as trekking and hiking that do not require special training are especially popular here. For professionals there are difficult mountain routes, for example, Khustup and Aragats. Fans of climbing can climb Jokhi Dzor and Noravank.
Fans of extreme flights also come to Armenia. Starting from the second half of the summer to mid-autumn, paragliding is very common. You will get great pleasure from extreme flights in the most picturesque areas of Armenia, full of bright colors. Even beginners can get great impressions from such flights. For them, safe and comfortable conditions have been created here: experienced professional trainers manage the flight, you just have to enjoy the flight. If you love to jump with a parachute, then you can also safely go to Armenia – this sport is also common here.
Armenia invites those who practice alpine diving. Lake Sevan is best suited for this sport. For beginners, instructor services are offered.
Cyprus
An ideal place for windsurfers. 90% of windy days in a year, the sun and endless summer – the ski season here is almost always in full swing. Yes, it is believed that gliding on the waves is best to go to Asia, but if you have only a couple of weeks to rest, we recommend that you consider something closer. S7 Airlines’ direct flights from Moscow to the cities of Cyprus last no more than 4 hours, and the cost of round-trip tickets is 1.5–2 times lower than to Asian resorts.
From May to December in Cyprus is the right time for diving. Coastal waters are famous not only for the diversity of flora and fauna: not far from Paphos are the ruins of an ancient amphitheater and harbor. If you are interested in diving to wrecks, one and a half kilometers from Larnaca at a depth of 18 to 42 meters with all its cargo – a hundred trailers, two tractors, an electric loader and a blue Lada – lies Zenobia ferry. Both experienced divers and beginners come to visit him, since conditions allow. There are no strong currents off the coast of Cyprus, the water is extremely clear, so the delights of the Mediterranean are available here for divers with any level of training.
Anapa
The set of activities largely coincides with the Sochi: rafting on the rivers, cycling and hiking. Surfing is unusual: the local coast has unique conditions for Russia. Even if you have never stood on a board in nature, nature itself will help to get comfortable here. This is an ideal platform for surfers with any level of training: in the summer and in the beginning of autumn beginners frolic on the coast, and in the winter they are replaced by experienced athletes. The period from May to November is suitable for learning from scratch: the water and the air are warm, the winds are not particularly rampant, so everything is in order. From November to May, with a southerly wind, the waves reach two or three meters – not an ocean, of course, but quite worthy. Another advantage of Anapa – exceptional transport accessibility. A direct flight from Moscow will take only 2 hours and 20 minutes. S7 Airlines offers three daily flights with convenient departure times – in the morning, afternoon and evening.
Diving in Anapa is perhaps the best in the Black Sea, and the local shallows are great for the first dives and leisurely walks. If you already have experience in scuba diving, Anapa diving clubs offer excursions to sunken objects. These are mainly Soviet ships of the times of the Great Patriotic War, but there is also something really rare.
