Holidays with children at sea. The advantages of holidays in this country are

Below are listed 10 best places to visit with kids in May.

May for holidays with children at sea is a problematic month. The Black Sea has not warmed up, the Mediterranean Sea has warmed up only in a few areas. Long flights will not save too much, as the rainy season begins in many tropical resorts. Therefore, the top 10 in May for families with children includes places such as Cuba, Bali, Mauritius, which, due to their remoteness and high cost, were not included in the tops in other months.

Listed on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand. In Thailand, the rainy season begins in May, so it is better to replace the traditional holiday in Phuket with Koh Samui, as there is significantly less rainfall. It will also be a good holiday in Krabi.

The water in May in the Mediterranean area is cool and swimming will not bring much pleasure to children and parents. As in June, only the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea can be considered acceptable for swimming. And the most successful choice in May will be a holiday in Cyprus. In early May, countries such as Israel (Eilat) and Egypt can be considered for families with children. The water there will be warm, but, alas, the air temperature can be very hot.

Rest on the coasts of the Black Sea in May is not comfortable for swimming.

With the holiday season and long-awaited summer holidays approaching, many parents are puzzled by a difficult choice. I want to leave behind a stuffy and dusty city, change the usual environment, gain vivid impressions. But holidays with children have their own specifics. It should be an exciting adventure that will not leave the child time for boredom and whims, and at the same time will be interesting for his adult companions.

An ideal option when such a vacation still does not go beyond the family budget. At the same time, we must not forget about safety and maximum comfort for a baby or teenager. But how to combine all these requirements? Where can parents with children relax in the hot summer, so that the trip is inexpensive, but the whole family likes it?

Sea of ​​Azov

If the idea of ​​the perfect family vacation is all about splashing in warm water and getting a chocolate tan, there's no need to think long. There will be no time to be bored on the sea coast, and such a trip will be good for health. Vacationers with small children are better off going to the Sea of ​​Azov.

It does not compare with Chernoy in depth, but it warms up faster and attracts tourists with an early start to the swimming season. Many open it already during the May holidays. There are also disadvantages: the water in the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov also cools quickly. If in Sochi, Gelendzhik, Gagra in mid-September they are still actively swimming, the velvet season is in full swing, then here at this time it is no longer possible to splash in the warm waves.

But in the summer you can forget about everything, enjoying the vastness and convenience of the beaches of the Sea of ​​Azov. They are long and even, consisting mainly of sand or shell rock, although there are also pebble ones. A gentle entry into the water and the absence of slippery stones allow you not to worry about the safety of children. Even in between bathing, they will have something to do on the beach. You can race on the water near the shore, raising hundreds of splashes, build sand castles, and collect beautiful shells.

The most popular among tourists on the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov is the resort city of Yeysk. Adults are attracted by therapeutic mud here. They also bring a lot of fun to children. There will be no problems with finding housing in Yeysk. There are options for every taste and budget: from rooms in comfortable hotels to a more budgetary private sector. You can stay in a sanatorium or a recreation center.

Within the city there are many equipped free beaches, which are kept clean. Some sanatoriums and boarding houses provide guests with their own beaches of increased comfort and safety, which hotels and recreation centers cannot boast of. Being in Yeysk with a child, you should definitely visit the Kamenka beach. Its developed infrastructure offers a lot of entertainment for tourists of all ages. Among them are table tennis, shooting range, children's car rental.

A visit to the dolphinarium and the oceanarium, where you can watch the inhabitants of the deep sea, will brighten up your vacation in Yeysk. A trip to the Nemo water park will bring a lot of impressions. It is located on the territory of the city and is equipped with pools of different depths and many attractions for children. It will be interesting for both kids and schoolchildren.

Diversify the days by the sea walks in the park I.M. Poddubny. Children will enjoy the entertainment available in it, and especially that part of it, in which there are various attractions. There are dozens of them in the park. Many of them will also attract adult visitors.

You can combine entertainment with broadening your horizons by visiting the ethnographic center "Kuban Farm". Its workers will tell in detail about the life, traditions, character and customs of the Kuban Cossacks. If impressions are not enough, you can always go on an excursion. Special bureaus offer different route options. Among them, you can choose the one that suits the child by age and does not tire him.

The cost of a vacation in Yeysk will come out in the average amount. You can relax there with a child and cheaply, if you approach the search for housing wisely. City forums will come to the rescue here, where they negotiate with the owner himself. The option with minimal amenities will cost from 500 rubles. per day of stay.

When planning a trip to the sea with children, you need to consider the cost of food. If you cook on your own, they will be much lower than when visiting canteens.

Black Sea coast

It has become a tradition for many families to spend their holidays on the Black Sea coast. With older children, you can go to any of the popular resort places: Gelendzhik, Adler, Tuapse, Novorossiysk, Kabardinka, Arkhipo-Osipovka. Kids will have more fun, and their parents will be calmer in Anapa and its environs: the villages of Dzhemete and Vityazevo.

In its favor are huge beaches running towards the horizon, where you can bury your feet in clean sand and splash on the shallows, warm sea, developed infrastructure, an abundance of canteens with the usual European menu. But there is one drawback. The sea here warms up well, but begins to bloom early. Although children even like to catch algae from the water and play kikimore and mermen.

Anapa is a natural health resort. Despite the proximity of the sea, the air here is dry and easy to breathe. You will not be bored in Anapa, both children and their parents can find entertainment to their taste. A water park, a dolphinarium, an oceanarium, numerous parks, a beautiful and long promenade with attractions, a variety of excursions - this is not a complete list of them.

To have an inexpensive vacation with children in Anapa, you should look for housing in the private sector or guest houses. The minimum price offered by their owners is 350 rubles. per person per day. Accommodation in a hotel will cost more: 650 rubles. per person or more. But in the end, this option may turn out to be more attractive: in many of them, small children (up to 5-7 years old) are accommodated for free. Most boarding houses have the same advantage.

Crimea

Unforgettable impressions will leave a family vacation in the Crimea. Those who have visited its resorts call this corner an earthly paradise. Crimea is famous for its unique climate, unusually clean air filled with the aroma of juniper, amazing natural beauty. It is believed that there are fewer tourists, prices are cheaper, beaches are cleaner, and people are more welcoming and friendly.

Going to the sea to the Crimea is the best option for children and adults with weak immunity. For a family holiday, you should choose a hotel near the bay. The water in the bays warms up to a great depth, and you can not be afraid of strong currents. It is worth clarifying which beach is located next to the selected accommodation. They are in the Crimea for every taste: sandy, pebbly, there are even wild ones, consisting of huge boulders.

Evpatoria is especially popular as a children's resort. The sea here is calm, with a gently sloping sandy bottom. Healing air will benefit babies suffering from respiratory diseases. Mineral waters and therapeutic mud will complement its action.

Bathing can be alternated with excursions to the corners with protected nature, trips to the arboretum, dolphinarium, oceanarium, water park, walks along the shady alleys of recreation parks, a visit to the amusement park, among the carousels of which the kids will definitely be attracted by the railway. It is worth visiting the well-known zoo and crocodile in Yalta and the oldest botanical garden, located between the village of Nikita and the Black Sea.

Housing can be rented on a budget. Prices per day for a room in an apartment start from 350 rubles, for a one-room apartment - from 550 rubles, for a two-room apartment - from 650 rubles. The condition of housing and the degree of remoteness from the sea are the main factors affecting its value. You will also be pleased with the prices for food.

In addition to Evpatoria, with children you can go to:

• Zander;
• Feodosia;
• Sevastopol.

Fans of "natural massage" should pay attention to the resorts of the southern coast of Crimea with pebble beaches:

• Miskhor;
• Simeiz;
• Alupka;
• Alushta;
• Yalta.

When choosing a place for a trip to the Crimea, you need to consider the age of the child. It will be difficult for kids to go down the serpentine or numerous steps. And wearing them on your hands will tire your parents, nullifying the delights of relaxation.

Baltic Sea

A trip to the sea is a win-win option for a summer holiday with children. But if a child or parents do not tolerate heat well, the coasts of the Azov and Black Seas will not work. In the summer in Russia, you can have a great time by the Baltic Sea. Its sandy beaches with dunes are surrounded by pine forests, which are easy to walk through for hours, enjoying the fragrant air.

As housing, neat wooden houses with all amenities are offered. The air here in summer warms up to +24 °C. The water stays cool. In July-August its temperature is about +20-+22 °C.

Families with children most often choose the Curonian Spit for recreation. The most popular places are the settlements of Morskoye, Lesnoy, Rybachy. These areas are distinguished by a very rich flora and fauna. You can swim in the bay with fresh water or in the Baltic Sea.

Nearby are cities with a long history: Kaliningrad, Zelenogradsk, Svetlogorsk. Kosa National Park offers several hiking trails that will allow you to fully enjoy the beauty of the Baltic nature. When relaxing with older children, it is worth finding time to visit the Dancing Forest, the ornithological station, Swan Lake, observation platforms located on the heights of Efa and Muller.

Altai

Fans of outdoor activities will love the resorts of the Altai Territory. The most popular of them is Belokurikha. According to experienced tourists, relaxing in Altai is like visiting the Alps. Such a journey will not be forgotten: mountain meadows, springs with crystal clear water, noisy rivers, waterfalls, mysterious caves, and above all this rise mighty mountains, on the tops of which snow always lies.

It is not difficult to find housing for families with children in the Altai Territory. There are sanatoriums, boarding houses, recreation centers, hotels, hotel and tourist complexes. Many of them have children's rooms, and playgrounds with sandboxes, swings and slides for kids are equipped in the yard. Some boast a swimming pool, a children's cinema or a mini-zoo.

Children will love relaxing by the pond. You can stop at Lake Aya or at Lake Manzherok, in tourist areas - Turquoise Katun or Rublevka, located near artificial lakes. In addition to swimming and visiting the water park, cycling and horse riding routes, river rafting, and fishing are popular in Altai.

If the budget allows, you can take a sightseeing tour by helicopter. The Manzherok ski complex was built near Lake Manzherok. In the summer there is a lift. Tourists have the opportunity to climb the mountains to a height of 600 m, from where a breathtaking view opens.

Schoolchildren will be delighted with visiting the extreme park located in the village of Ust-Sema. A pine forest, where an obstacle course is equipped right on the trees at a height of 6 m from the ground - what could be more exciting? You can choose routes of different complexity. Here, experienced instructors will teach the child the basics of rock climbing.

In Altai, it is also worth visiting the hang-gliding and paragliding base, the Cheki tract, which is a natural monument. A trip to the Chemal reservoir will impress both children and parents. Numerous attractions, bungee rides, walking on suspension bridges - all this is definitely worth a try. A majestic spectacle that will forever remain in the memory is the discharge of water from the Chemal hydroelectric power station.

Ural and Bashkiria

Family holidays in the Urals will be budget and memorable. You can settle in a rest home, sanatorium or camp site, located in a picturesque and ecologically clean corner. It is not difficult to find housing near a reservoir so that children can swim to their heart's content. Most likely, there will be a pine forest or a mixed grove nearby. The beauty of nature, silence and clean air - that's what tourists are looking for here.

The owners of hotel complexes offer many types of outdoor activities with children: you can ride bicycles, roller skates, skateboards, ATVs, catamarans; shoot at a shooting range, play paintball, football, tennis, go kayaking. Kids will have fun at the playgrounds, excursions, in the playroom under the supervision of an experienced teacher. Older students will certainly want to go rafting and diving, go on horseback rides.

An interesting option for a budget holiday with children will be Bashkortostan. You can spend your vacation actively and with health benefits in sanatoriums and in numerous parks of culture. Worth visiting in Ufa:

• central park im. Gafuri;
• Park "Magic World";
• park of petrochemists;
• park of culture Zhukov.

A variety of attractions will amuse the child. You can relax a little and replenish your strength for a further walk in children's cafes. They offer an extensive and inexpensive menu including delicious desserts. Fairs are often held in the Neftekhimiki Park, where you can buy useful things, gifts for kids, and even get your child ready for school. And all this at low prices.

In Ufa, there are many children's sanatoriums equipped with playgrounds. The children's theater gives performances all year round. The repertoire of local cinemas necessarily includes children's films and cartoons.

In Bashkiria, in the summer the whole family can relax in Belebey. The club "Chance" is popular here, where the child will have fun with benefit, having learned sports dancing. Other places that are loved by tourists: Sterlitamak, Oktyabrskoye and especially Kumertau - are famous for their recreation parks with relatively inexpensive attractions, beautiful green spaces and clean alleys and lawns.

Baikal

Rest on Lake Baikal with children is a great opportunity to stand out from the crowd and join nature. The amazing pristine beauty and harmony of this region does not leave anyone indifferent. The level of physical fitness for a trip to Baikal does not matter. Slow walks along the lake, swimming, fishing, evening gatherings around the fire will bring no less pleasure than overcoming long hiking trails.

The water in Baikal warms up slowly, so there may not be an opportunity to swim. Here's how lucky the weather is. It is changeable here even in summer.

It is often hot during the day and cool at night. The thermometer can drop even below +10 °C. Therefore, when going to Baikal, it is worth putting warm clothes in your suitcase. For bathing children, a part of the lake, called the Small Sea, is more suitable. It warms up better.

If the child is still small, it is better to postpone the trip to the lake. But schoolchildren will return from it under a strong impression. The best option is to purchase a combined tour or go by car. This will allow you to see several places, lingering in each for 2-3 days.

So that a vacation on Lake Baikal does not undermine the family budget, it is better to stay at campsites. The amenities are minimal, but the low prices more than compensate for this shortcoming. You can bring your own tent or rent it. Its cost is about 200 rubles. per day.

A visit to the nerpinaria or the Baikal Museum, which is located in Listvyanka, will add to your impressions. Children will be interested in a tour of the Circum-Baikal Railway. This is an exciting journey, during which short stops are provided, allowing you to see even more sights of Baikal.

Seliger

You don't have to travel far to get to Seliger. This amazingly beautiful lake is located on the Valdai Hills, on the territory between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Clean air and dense forest surrounding the lake, golden sandy beaches, silence and tranquility of Seliger will bring peace, harmonize thoughts and feelings and relax well.

Children here have fun riding bicycles, riding ponies or horses, playing outdoor games. Boat rentals are available. Fishing enthusiasts will love the Valgo and Serminok lakes. Their water is crystal clear.

Seliger is a place where you can relax your body and soul. The impression of it will not be complete without visiting the ancient churches and museums of wooden architecture. Children will be surprised that they are in the open air.

Tourists on Seliger are accommodated in recreation centers. There are many of them, but it is better to book places well in advance of the trip. So the chances of getting a budget room are higher. The lower threshold for accommodation prices is 650-1000 rubles. per day per room. If the difficulties of camping life do not scare you, you can also stay in a tent, pitching it on the shore of the lake next to other tourists.

There are many interesting places where to go on vacation in the summer with small children or older students. In order for the vacation to bring a lot of positive emotions to each of the family members, you need to take into account their interests and the age of the child. Summer holidays can be inexpensive, but such that you will definitely want to repeat it. You just need to be smart about planning it.

Rest is desirable to do as varied and rich as possible. Now the solution to this issue most often lies in trips and travels abroad. But what to do if you want to go on vacation, and a growing small child is running nearby? The question immediately arises, where to relax with the baby and is it possible to travel with a child at all.

Possible! Holidays with a child abroad can bring a lot of impressions and pleasure! The main thing is to decide what you really want: where to go and what to see.

You should choose a route or place of travel based on the age of the child, his interests and character traits (perseverance, activity, obedience, etc.).

We take into account the age of the child and choose the type of rest

At each age, children perceive and study the world differently, change rapidly and develop year after year. It is very important to take into account age characteristics when choosing a place, time and tour of your holiday abroad.

beach holiday

For children under 2 years old, it is better to choose just such a vacation. During this age period, it is important for the baby that the mother is nearby. This segment of the child's childhood is of little relevance for a joint trip abroad. But not as scary as it seems.

The advantage of age is the ease of providing quality nutrition- the child can be breastfed, fruits purchased directly abroad. This makes it possible to control the nutrition of the baby and be sure of a healthy diet that protects the child from all kinds of diseases.

It is necessary to remember the main purpose of the trip - health promotion. Therefore, when vacationing with a child of 4-12 months, priority should be given to places where there is a lot of sun (but moderate), fresh air, clean clear water, a mild climate and a calm atmosphere. First of all, these are places with the possibility of a beach holiday.

A child under 2 years old is in that period of childhood when he begins to actively study the surrounding reality, he is interested in everything: he needs to touch, taste, feel for himself. This will help to organize places of rest where the child can be safely in the water, on the sand (in this case, the cleanliness of the beach is important). The kid will be able to see and feel the diversity of the world, be able to touch it.

Excursions and entertainment

The age of about 4 years is one of the most wonderful age periods in the development of a child! It is from this age that the baby becomes more active, seeks to communicate, interact with the world around him and people, play, frolic.

When choosing a holiday destination abroad with a child of 3-4 years old, it is important to take into account the characteristics of the child's body, select hotels where many children's programs and entertainment programs of a game nature will be included.

At the age of 5-6, the child burns with a great desire to study everything around, to know. It is not enough for him to touch, feel and see. He wants to know. Therefore, at this age, the most important and leading criterion for choosing places to travel will be all kinds of countries, cities where the child can plunge into the cognitive process, look at the world from the other side, learn its basic and simple laws, history. Assistants here will be museums with interactive programs, children's animators, specially equipped playgrounds, towns, science centers, etc.

During this period, you can visit the famous Disneyland. Just be sure to ask your child what he is interested in and what he would like. Rest for the parents of an interested child will be an unforgettable time!

Sports orientation

For older children, the choice can already fall on absolutely any country, region, city. It all depends on the interests of the child, parents and the purpose of the holiday abroad. Most children of this age are interested in outdoor activities: skiing, snowboarding. Therefore, ski resorts in the Alps or Scandinavia and all similar active activities that are safe for the child should be included.

In what countries and in what period is acclimatization easier?

As you know, any trips associated with a change in climatic zones can lead to poor health not only for an adult, but also for a child. Acclimatization is the process of adaptation of the human body to new climatic conditions, and it takes place differently for everyone.

Many parents during this period tend to think at first that the child is just sick, and begin to treat him for a cold, but this is ineffective. How to survive acclimatization and what should you think about in advance before going to a country with a different climate?

Common symptoms of the body adapting to new conditions include:

• nausea and vomiting;
• insomnia;
• weakness, fatigue;
• apathy, bad mood;
• decreased immunity;
• capriciousness, tearfulness.

This period can last 7-10 days. The duration depends on the distance that the child has moved away from his usual conditions.

It is worth noting that children under 3 years of age are more difficult to tolerate climate change, so with such a child it is better to choose a climate as close as possible to yours. For example, in the summer - Bulgaria or Croatia.

Due to the fact that children's acclimatization usually takes up to 10 days, a holiday of at least a month would be an excellent solution. During this time, the body will be able to calmly adjust to the new climatic and temporal conditions of the new place, which will provide the child and parents with the opportunity to relax with pleasure, without wasting time on restoring the body after a sharp change in environmental conditions.

Traveling to hot countries (Cyprus, Greece, Tunisia, Turkey or Egypt in July-August is not recommended. It is better to go to such countries in May-June or in autumn, when it is not too hot there.

Those suffering from respiratory diseases are better off choosing countries with less humidity.- suitable Cyprus or the Canary Islands. It is better for such children not to go to Thailandbecause there is very high humidity, especially in summer.

Summer is a great time of the year for families with children. But if, when planning a vacation for adults, we proceed solely from our preferences and the cost of the trip, then we need to prepare more carefully for a vacation with children. If you decide to relax with your child for the first time, we recommend that you pay attention to the following factors:

• flight time. If your children have not yet flown, think about how they will endure the first flight and it may be worth limiting yourself to a short route;
• availability of children's infrastructure. In addition to the beach, think about how you will entertain the little traveler;
• equipped beaches, warm water and preferably a sandy beach. Even if the beach is clean sand, it is recommended to purchase quick-drying flip-flops to protect the foot from being cut;
• and of course the cost of the trip.

We have selected several resorts in Russia and abroad, where you could go on vacation with children in the summer of 2019.

Sea of ​​Azov

First of all, of course, the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov. This is the shallowest sea, you will walk for 10 minutes until you can take a full dip, but for children this is what you need. The Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is very warm, it warms up the fastest. The season here lasts all summer, but from the beginning of autumn it is no longer as comfortable here as on the Black Sea. Velvet autumn, warm weather and pleasant water - this is not about the Sea of ​​Azov. In autumn, almost no one bathes, especially children, and in the evenings they already walk in light sweaters. But for the summer, this is a great destination for kids!

Where to go- we recommend Yeysk. In summer it is a popular resort for families with children. Good coastline. Long pebble beach. Swimming shoes are required here, because not everywhere there is a good entrance - it's literally a few meters from the shore, and then clean sand.

For children, there is an entertainment infrastructure both on the embankment - various attractions, and on the beach - inflatable trampolines and more. Parents at this time can watch them from nearby cafes. For evening leisure - an amusement park and a cinema.

How to get to Yeysk. There is no airport in Yeysk, therefore, you can get to the resort in the following ways:

1. The nearest airports are in Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar. From there, you can take a bus to Yeysk. Or from Rostov and Krasnodar by train to Starominskaya-Timashevskaya station, and from there by taxi, but it will be longer and more tiring.
2. Since From June 02 to September 07, you can get from Moscow to Yeysk by train. And from St. Petersburg for the summer, Russian Railways launches a train to Yeysk.

Where to stay in Yeysk. There are practically no hotels in Yeysk, and those that are are for some business travelers. Everyone stays in the private sector. The choice is great - there are excellent new houses converted into mini-hotels with separate entrances, or you can rent the whole house, or, more simply, stay in a separate room. Adults, who are not particularly whimsical, do not need to rent housing in advance; at the entrance to the city and by the beach, there are always locals on duty who meet vacationers. But if you are with a child, we still recommend that you take care of housing in advance, because there may not be places and the living conditions required for you. Look at the options at - they have the largest database of private housing in the south of Russia.

Black Sea

You can choose from the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory or the Crimea. We recommend the Krasnodar Territory for families with children - firstly, due to logistics - you can get here by all means of transport. The easiest way to Crimea is by plane, but during the season tickets are very expensive, and if you decide by train, it's all the same to Krasnodar, and then by bus or ferry. Secondly, the Crimean infrastructure is still more for adults.

Resorts of the Krasnodar Territory - where it is better to go with children. Feel free to recommend Anapa - a children's resort on the Black Sea. This is where most parents come with their children. Here is a warm sea, a sandy beach, a gentle entrance, shallow. There are various entertainments for children and parents - three water parks, rides, an adventure park.

Gelendzhik is less preferable for children's recreation. If you still choose this resort, keep in mind that swimming with children is not recommended in the Cape Tolstoy area - a sharp entry into the water and immediately deep, cold water, as well as on the Central Beach - noisy, many adults. For families with children, we recommend Thin Cape or Blue Bay.

How to get there. Both Anapa and Gelendzhik have their own airports, so the plane is the fastest and easiest way to get to the resort (air tickets to Anapa, air tickets to Gelendzhik). Anapa has its own railway station, so you can calmly. But in Gelendzhik there is no station, so by train to Anapa or Novorossiysk, and from there a taxi or bus.

Where to stay in Anapa. In Anapa, you can find a sufficient number of hotels for family holidays, as well as health resorts and boarding houses. In summer, most of them can be busy, it is recommended to book well in advance.

The best Anapa hotels on the first line:

• La Melia - All Inclusive,
• Sea Breeze Resort - with children's pools with a slide slide on the territory,
• Golden Dunes - children's animators, playgrounds, games room, closed area, swimming pools,
• Aston is a small hotel with playgrounds right on the beach.

Where to relax with a child abroad in 2019

If you prefer foreign resorts to domestic ones, then do not forget that for the trip you need. This is doubly a must if you are traveling with children!

Holidays with children in Bulgaria in 2019

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about traveling abroad with children is Bulgaria. Indeed, this is the second most popular family resort after the south of Russia. From the pros - not far to fly, warm weather, good Black Sea with sandy beaches, developed infrastructure for children.

The most popular resorts for families with children are Sunny Beach and Golden Sands. There are clean, well-groomed beaches with fine sand and a gentle entrance to the water, warm water and not deep. There are many activities for children right on the beach.

Sunny Beach is the most famous beach resort in Bulgaria. It is located in a calm bay. In the center, as usual, noisy and fun entertainment, and a little further away, quiet family hotels and beaches. Nearby are the equally popular resorts of Nessebar and Sveti Vlas. There is a water park and an amusement park (amusement park).

Golden Sands is the most beautiful resort in Bulgaria. Lots of trees, clean air. Previously, a national park was located throughout Golden Sands, so it is very clean here.

How to get and where to stay in Bulgaria.

It makes sense to go to Bulgaria on tours, because there are not so many regular flights to Varna or Burgas, and if you decide to fly through the capital - Sofia, you will still have to get by bus or rent a car ( ).

Tours to Bulgaria can be bought online ( ). For example, here you can see the cheapest tours available at the moment:

If you prefer to travel on your own, then look for flights to Burgas, and we can recommend you to stay at the following hotels in the Sunny Beach area:

• Premier Fort Club Hotel is an excellent club-type hotel, FB all-inclusive meals, good rooms, first line, fenced area, two playgrounds, a swimming pool, a slide.
• Riva - all-inclusive meals, several playgrounds on the territory, of the minuses - the hotel is on the second line, but it takes 7 minutes to go to the sea.

If these hotels are busy, or not suitable for the price, then use them as a guide and choose the neighboring ones. But, we repeat once again - Bulgaria is the case when it makes sense to buy a ticket.

Holidays with children in Cyprus 2019

Most are accustomed to consider Cyprus the second Ibiza, a purely youth, party resort. And it's in vain. There are a lot of families with children in Cyprus and there are a lot of conditions for them to relax here. The main thing is to choose the right place. Ayia Napa is the most popular resort in Cyprus, but adults without children just need to go there, this is a noisy youth resort with bars and discos. But if suddenly you went to rest with your grandparents (that is, with whom to leave the children in the evening), you can safely go to Ayia Napa.

For those who prefer a quiet family vacation, who need peace and comfort — best place to stay in protaras. There is white sand, clear blue water, developed infrastructure in the form of hotels, shops. From .

How to get there. This is an island, so only by plane. There are two airports on the island - Larnaca and Paphos. Most flights arrive in Larnaca, charters fly to Paphos.

Where to stay in Cyprus. In Protaras, the best beach for children is Sunrise Beach, which is also a city beach, next to it is Fig Tree Beach - small and cozy. Look for accommodation on Booking.com exactly along these beaches. But for the summer, most hotels have been sold out since March. If there is nothing suitable, try looking for private accommodation through or on Interhome - here you can book not only apartments, but also houses, villas.

Don't forget your visa. A visa to Cyprus is not needed for those who have a valid Schengen multivisa, for everyone else it is necessary to obtain a Cyprus visa. It is done online, very simply in 1-2 days.

And of course, do not forget about vouchers to Cyprus, on summer beach destinations it can be even cheaper:

Holidays with children in Greece 2019

Another popular destination for families with children is, of course, Greece. The Greek islands such as Crete, Rhodes, Kos, as well as the Halkidiki peninsula are ideal for family holidays. Most of the beaches are sandy or small pebbles. The water on the coast is the cleanest, no wonder so many beaches in Greece are marked with a blue flag for cleanliness.

It is better to go to Greece with children on tours. In the summer there are direct charters, but you will have to get to the Greek resorts on your own with transfers in Athens or Thessaloniki, and there is absolutely nothing to do in these two cities, especially with children.

Most hotels operate on a breakfast-only or breakfast-and-dinner basis. Hotels offering all-inclusive meals are smaller and will cost much more, but there are a lot of different taverns around where you can eat or shops where you can buy milk, cheese, cottage cheese (which are simply of the highest quality).

We definitely recommend you. With a child, you can easily make not long and not tiring outings and travel around the island. You won’t be able to do this on public transport, and the excursions that operators will offer on the spot are absolutely stupid and not worth the money - fishing, boat rides, excursions to various museums and archaeological excavations. You can do all this on your own, without being tied to a group and a bus.

If you choose according to such parameters as clear sea, good beaches, delicious food, then we would recommend Greece for families with children. If you are considering a budget option - Bulgaria.

Holidays with children in Turkey 2019

Of course, we could not ignore this most popular resort among our compatriots. Holidays in Turkey are suitable for all ages.

Why it is worth going to Turkey to relax with children: mild climate, close flights and direct flights, no visa required, excellent service, excellent infrastructure, a variety of children's entertainment programs both in the hotel and on the beach, animators on the territory of hotels, convenient food system " all inclusive”, friendly attitude of locals, especially to children.

Almost all hotels on the coast in Turkey are family-run and have everything for children's entertainment - swimming pools, slides, game rooms and clubs with tutors, attractions.
