Where is the best place to spend a seaside holiday with children? Summer holidays in Russia: where to go on holiday with children? Where is the best place to go on vacation with your baby?

An eternal question that worries compassionate mothers. If previously it was possible to fly quite comfortably and cheaply to Turkey or Egypt using our favorite All-inclusive system, then after the restriction of flights in these directions, the choice of budget resorts has noticeably decreased. In 2016, families with children will have to pay attention to other countries. And hoteliers will have to urgently improve the conditions in their hotels, add a children’s menu, install new slides for the pool - in general, they are already trying to do everything for us :)

Where to go to the sea with a small child?

Every self-respecting parent tries to take their young children to the sea as often as possible. It has been proven that after such a trip a child gets sick from ARVI much less often, his immune system is significantly strengthened, his body is hardened, and many times more positive emotions are added to the little person’s piggy bank than in the whole year. Of course, building castles on the shores of the Red Sea is much more enjoyable than in the sandbox behind the house! And seeing colorful fish in the wild is real magic!

What is needed for a holiday with a child?

• Sandy beach with a gentle slope into the sea. Moreover, it should be located no further than 500 meters from the hotel. It is quite difficult to travel long distances in the heat, especially if you have to periodically return to your room during the day.
• Meals with children's menu. Children's in the sense of dietary, and not with mini-burgers and fries. It's a good idea to have your own blender on your trip. With small children you can’t do without all-inclusive meals with good unlimited drinks and hot soups.
• Russian speaking staff. A large number of people speaking a foreign language, especially those with dark skin color, can frighten a child.
• Entertainment on site: slides, active animation program, mini-disco. And even better are children's clubs from a tour operator with Russian-speaking animators and creative activities.
• Children's pool located next to the adults' pool. It would be a good idea to have children's bracelets and pagers for parents (only in large hotels).

Bulgaria

The most affordable and comfortable “abroad” for a holiday with small children! What is so good about the country? There is a lot of sun, a mild climate, a clean sea, long strips of sandy beaches, tasty and cheap fruits and vegetables, many Russian-speaking tourists and locals, as well as a very positive attitude towards children. For example, even in beach cafes you will always find a children's menu and chairs. The most favorable resorts for family holidays in summer are Golden Sands, Nessebar, Sunny Beach.

Cyprus

Cyprus is becoming increasingly popular for holidays with children, even in the winter months. It’s always joyful here, often sunny and very, very tasty. A big plus of a holiday in Cyprus is the simplified procedure for obtaining a visa, unlike the Schengen countries. And the pro-visa is done online within 1-2 days. And the sea is so clean!

Tour operator Biblio Globus organizes a children's club “Bibliosha” in Cyprus, which operates from May to September and accepts children from 5 to 12 years old. There is such a club, for example, in the Larnaca Golden Bay Beach hotel with its own beach. Hotels for families with children All inclusive is not uncommon in Cyprus. However, you can also eat in local taverns - Cypriot cuisine includes a lot of dairy products and fresh vegetables.

Greece

The island part of Greece is the most attractive for families with children. The most developed infrastructure is on the islands of Crete, Rhodes, Lesbos and Corfu - the greenest island. Since there are many ancient attractions here, and you want to visit several islands at once during your vacation, schoolchildren will be most comfortable in Greece.

The best hotels for children have their own well-groomed beaches, slides in the pools, as well as separate villas - you can make noise all night long without disturbing your neighbors. Greece has many nature reserves, zoos, and open farms where children can get acquainted with nature and agritourism. Interesting things to do in Crete Botanical Garden Capsis Beach, the huge Limnoupolis Water Park and Agreco Farm in Rethymno.

Asia

A long flight - from 8 hours to India to almost a day in Bali - is a big stress not only for the child, but also for the parents, especially considering all the flight delays, waiting in queues for registration, lack of air conditioning or, conversely, an excess of them. Not to mention acclimatization.

However, with older children - from 10-12 years old - you can travel around the whole world! They have a lot of energy and curiosity. And if your child does not let go of his tablet or game console, then taking him on a trip and signing up for as many excursions as possible is not prohibited, even by force. Then he will say thank you 😉

Russia

Holidays with children at sea in Russia - this is, of course, Anapa. There is shallow sea, sandy beaches, and the nostalgic mood of childhood spent in a children's camp nearby. At the resorts Krasnodar region, especially in Sochi and Adler, which are gradually becoming gentrified, more and more European-class hotels with good food, excellent rooms and well-trained service are appearing.

Many Russian tourists, accustomed to vacationing in Turkey and Egypt, are wondering where to go on vacation with their kids. So, 7 fresh “sea” ideas for summer 2016!

1.​ Bulgaria: Golden Sands

The euro exchange rate is breaking records this year, so Bulgaria is especially attractive for many tourists with children. It is part of the European Union, but has retained the local currency - the leva, which has a positive effect on prices - they do not “bite”, like in the rest of Europe. There is one more pleasant circumstance: since 2016, a Bulgarian visa for Russian tourists has dropped in price from €35 to €10, and visas are issued to children under 16 years of age free of charge.

Almost all Black Sea coast Bulgaria (which is 378 kilometers) is covered with white-golden sand. And, of course, the beaches of the Golden Sands resort are famous for their special beauty, where tourists with children are especially calm. Children will appreciate the attractions, amusement parks and playgrounds, and adults, if necessary, can use the services of nannies and teachers from leisure centers.

When buying a tour to Bulgaria, keep in mind that warm weather sets in at the country's resorts in the second half of June; At the beginning of summer, winds and rains are possible.

2. Montenegro: cozy Petrovac

Montenegro has a wonderful climate, well-established infrastructure, good service and a friendly attitude towards children, which is why families often flock here. Which resort should you choose? You shouldn’t go to popular Budva with children - it’s noisy, crowded and in some places not the best clean beaches. Herceg Novi may attract you with its fabulous atmosphere of ancient castles, but the influx of tourists will not let you relax. Kotor is also hardly worth recommending for a holiday with children because of the difficult descent into the water - it is better to go there on an excursion and visit the famous national park.

So which resort in Montenegro should you choose?

The town of Petrovac, ideal for a family holiday, is located 17 km from Budva. This tiny resort is surrounded on all sides by pine forests and olive groves - on the one hand, it is good for health, on the other hand, there is a place for walking in the heat. The sea there is always calm, it is safe even for children to swim, and the reddish fine sand is ideal for building fortresses.

3. Israel: the white sands of Haifa

Few people know that children can only swim in the Dead Sea from the age of 6, since the salt, when it comes into contact with the mucous membranes in such a concentration, causes a strong burning sensation. That is why families with children vacation mainly in Eilat on the shores of the Red Sea.

However, the Israeli coast Mediterranean Sea Deserves attention. White sand, delicious shells, a smooth entry into warm, like fresh milk, water, the temperature of which in the season is 25-26 degrees (you don’t have to be afraid that the children will become hypothermic). The Mediterranean resort of Haifa is especially popular among tourists. In addition to excellent service, cleanliness, quality food, there is an amazing zoo with almost no cages. Together with your child, you can visit lemurs, colorful birds and other harmless animals.

Among the pleasant moments: Russians do not need a visa to Israel and most of the staff speak Russian.

4. Spain: with bated breath, heading towards Port Aventura

Because of the euro exchange rate, Spain is losing some Russian tourists, but not its attractiveness, because all conditions have been created here for a family holiday. The most popular among Russians is the Costa Dorada, because in addition to warm sea and the famous sandy beaches, there is the Port Aventura amusement park, where even an adult will temporarily turn into a restless child.

At Port Aventura you can ride the extremely fast roller coaster Furius Baco. The Dragon Khan attraction will make you freeze in horror 8 times when at a speed of 100 km/h you will make another “dead loop” (“Mom, take me away from here, please”). For kids, there are calmer attractions without extreme adventures - an entire Sesame Street is dedicated to them, no one will be bored!

5. Greece

Among European destinations, Greece is considered the most budget direction, where there are all-inclusive hotels. One of best places for a beach holiday with children, this is, of course, Halkidiki: golden sand, clear water of the Aegean Sea and the unique air of pine forests.

Ideal for holidays with children greek islands. They are all worthy of attention, but it is most convenient to vacation where there is an airport, well-developed infrastructure and... there are no refugees who sailed to the islands located next to Turkey last summer (Kos, Lesvos and others). A good option For a summer holiday with children this year there will be Zakynthos, Santorini, Kefalonia, Rhodes, Peloponnese and Crete - it is calm, always sunny and there are many unforgettably beautiful bays.

6. Abkhazia

Abkhazia promises a budget holiday. True, tourists with children will have to get used to some of the nuances of the service, which is still at the development stage. If you are ready to close your eyes to some remnants of the Soviet past, you will be pleased with the sandy beaches in Gagra, smooth entry into the water, a water park with 8 swimming pools with sea and fresh water. Having reached Sukhumi, you can visit the famous Monkey Nursery - when you enter it, it’s as if you find yourself in Kipling’s kingdom of Bandar-logs. The climate in Abkhazia is subtropical: high humidity, eucalyptus and cypress trees grow. Gagra has the warmest air (the city is covered on all sides by mountains), Pitsunda has the warmest sea (but pebble beaches). You need to fly to Abkhazia via Sochi. By the way, about this...

7. Russia: time to go to Sochi

The city of Sochi has radically changed its appearance for the Winter Olympics, and it’s worth a look. Besides good hotels and excellent service, you will find a lot of entertainment here. With kids you can take the city funicular or cable car, visit the zoo, and from there go to Sochi Park - theme park attractions, go to the water park, arboretum or see all kinds of fruit trees in the “Tree of Friendship” garden-museum.

What to take with you when traveling with a child?

✔ Children's first aid kit.

✔ 2-3 pairs of shorts or breeches of different lengths (knee-length and below).

✔ 2-3 knitted T-shirts and shirts for excursions and traveling around the city.

✔ 2-3 T-shirts or T-shirts for going to the beach. They can be worn on the beach to protect your back and shoulders from sunburn.

✔ Swimming trunks.

✔ Socks are simple and warmer (3-4 pairs).

✔ 3-4 sets of T-shirts and panties.

✔ Warm blouse in case of cold weather.

✔ Windbreaker with hood.

✔ Audio books on your tablet.

When choosing a destination for a family trip, you need to take into account the age of the children and their interests. There is no point in overpaying for the popularity of a destination if most you will have to spend time at the hotel.

Over 10 years of family travel, we have visited many countries and resorts. Below you will find our general recommendations on where and why we recommend traveling with children. We have divided the directions by age groups to make it easier for you to navigate.

Our selection criteria

While the baby is crawling, there is no point in overpaying for stars and service in hotels. A mild climate, a sandy beach, a warm sea, favorite toys and the attention of parents are all that a baby who has come on vacation for the first time needs.

For children of preschool age, it is important that the resort has entertainment (slides, play complexes, attractions). Therefore, you need to settle closer to the center of the resort and look for hotels with animation in order to have at least a little rest yourself.

Older children are less attached to the hotel grounds and the sea. They much prefer to dive into the pool, ride down the slides at the water park, or go rafting. It is important that the chosen country can offer something other than the sea, a hotel and a sandy beach.

Bulgaria is a paradise for kids

• Recommended age: from 0 to 6 years
• Family resorts:
  • Albena
  • Review
  • St. Constantine and Helena
  • Sunny Beach

If we talk about the conditions and quality of service, then Bulgaria is practically unrivaled if you are planning a trip with a small child:

1. There is no sweltering heat here. The mild climate and sandy beaches are perfect for kids. You won't have to go through a period of adaptation to new weather conditions, since in summer the temperature here never rises above 32 degrees.
2. An important factor is affordable prices.
3. The country is focused on family holiday. Almost any good 4-star hotel has a children's menu with an abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits, comfortable cribs and special high chairs.
4. Hotels always have game rooms, playgrounds and private pools.
5. 4*5 hotels usually have children's clubs.
6. There are quite a lot in Bulgaria. Usually Bulgarian resorts calm, many of them are located on the seashore or in forests. There is no heavy traffic or crowds here, with the exception of Golden Sands or Sunny Beach. We highly recommend paying attention to the family tourism capitals of Bulgaria.
7. There's plenty waiting for little travelers

Spain - world class entertainment

• Recommended age: from 4 to 16 years
• Family resorts:
  • Salou
  • Pineda de Mar
  • Blanes
  • Santa Susana
  • La Pineda

Montenegro attracts tourists beautiful views, low cost of tours and the clean Adriatic Sea. Children who know how to float will definitely not get tired of looking for fish in clear water for hours on end. The entrance to the sea is almost everywhere flat and with small pebbles. The cuisine is very close to Russian, so there will be no problems with food.

The excursion program for children is limited to visiting the water park in Budva and rafting (from 6 years old). But this is quite enough for a week of rest. Becici is the only one sandy beach near Budva. An alternative option is Ulcinj. But there the level of service froze somewhere in the 90s and is focused more on locals and Albanians.

Thailand - the best exotic destination

• Recommended age: from 6 to 12 years
• Family resorts:
  • Phuket

Thailand is the only place where you can relax with children at sea during the winter months. Children really like this country for unusual nature, the opportunity to see exotic animals and the warm sea, from which no one would ever think of driving them out. The cleanliness of the streets, the unusual cuisine, the low standard of living in the country - all this fades into insignificance compared to the advantages.

Of the minuses:

• long flight;
• high cost of tours;
• rainy season from June to November;
• you need to choose a hotel away from party places;

Italy is a great option

• Recommended age: from 0 to 12 years
• Family resorts:
  • Bibione
  • Lignano

Italy is great for holidays with schoolchildren and babies thanks to its sandy beaches with a gentle entrance to the sea. It is better to choose resorts on the right side of the “boot”, since there is no mountainous terrain and there is sand.

In the eastern part of Italy there are two wonderful amusement parks, which are on the same level as the Spanish Port Aventura and the Parisian Disneyland. Park "Gardaland" is located on the coast and "Mirabilandia" between Ravenna and Rimini.

Parents can visit Venice and other attractions in the region one day.

Türkiye - an all-inclusive paradise

• Recommended age: from 2 to 16 years
• Family resorts:
  • Belek
  • Alanya
  • Kemer

Reasons to choose Turkey:

• In summer it is not too hot here: +27-33 degrees.
• Short flight
• Low cost of tours
• All inclusive system
• Huge selection of hotels to suit every taste and budget
• Most Turkish resorts offer sandy beaches and a shallow entrance to the sea.
• The hotels have water parks, playgrounds, animation (including in Russian) and special meals.

When traveling to Turkey with a child, it is very important to do it correctly. It is not advisable to choose the second half of July and the beginning of August for your trip, when the weather is abnormally hot. We do not recommend Turkish resorts for holidays with babies, as there is too much fuss in hotels and it is quite difficult to have privacy with a child.

Crimea is an inexpensive alternative to Bulgaria

• Recommended age: from 5 years and older
• Family resorts:
  • Feodosia

Crimea is perfect if the child no longer needs sand to spend time on the beach with interest. And in general, it’s quite difficult to talk about a comfortable beach holiday here, since the beaches here are narrow, mostly pebble and not particularly equipped. Game forms cannot be found during the day with fire, so entertainment will fall entirely on the shoulders of the parents.

But there are a number of advantages that competitors cannot offer:

• price flexibility;
• Availability ;
• a large selection of family excursions;
• healing climate of the South Coast;

Greece for a relaxing holiday

• Recommended age: from 0 to 6 years
• Family resorts:
  • Crete
  • Corfu
  • Rhodes

In Greece, conditions for children are very favorable - the heat is moderated by low air humidity, as well as an abundance of lush vegetation. The hotel staff is friendly, and walking with a stroller through picturesque places will leave an excellent impression.

The downside is the lack of children's animation in Russian and the small amount of entertainment. Excursion program in Greece it is designed mainly for adults, so older children can quickly get bored here.

Finding water parks in Greece is not a problem (there is one in almost every resort region), but things are more complicated. Not all Greek resorts can offer such a nice bonus. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with how
