Where to go for a summer vacation with children?

In summer, it is somehow not customary to fly with a child to the sea far away (unlike in winter), and why, when Black and Mediterranean are "close at hand". Therefore, we will consider european countries + Turkey and Tunisia. However, you can also relax with children in Vietnam (Nha Trang and Hoi An) and Bali.

Beach vacation with children at sea

The easiest way to arrange a beach vacation with children in the summer is: holiday season opens in all European countries.

Where can you go with your family in June, July and August? Tops the rating of popular resorts in the Mediterranean and Black Sea.

Turkey

First of all, this is an ideal example of a comfortable stay with children with all-inclusive and rich animation. But, admittedly, only for June. The climate in summer Turkey is not so mild - in July and August there is an unbearable heat. This is confirmed by the reviews of tourists. Few listen - the warm sea decides. What else do you need to know

Where? Perhaps, Alanya and Side are the most popular places for a vacation with children: budget, sandy beaches. It is true that it is a long way from the airport - about 150 km, but the road is flat and takes about 3 hours. Another choice is Kemer or Marmaris (Aegean Sea).

How much is? Turkey is one of the few countries where children's rest can be organized inexpensively - from 60,000 rubles for 2 adults and a child for a week.

Greece

Excursion from Rhodes to Symi island

Greece is very diverse in terms of excursions, but suffers in terms of all inclusive.
The question of choice is more limited not by the locality (beaches suitable for families with children are everywhere in Greece), but by the hotel, which would be adapted for families with children. In the second half of summer, maximum temperatures are set in the country, but because of the winds, the heat is tolerated more easily than, for example, in Turkey.

Cyprus

Why do people pay attention to Cyprus? Every opportunity to feed, buy and entertain children. And not to tire parents with a visa issue (done in 1-2 days) 🙂

A beautiful coastline and a gentle entrance to the sea, a bunch of hotels with a focus on children's recreation.

Where? Family tourists prefer Ayia Napa, Protaras and Limassol

How much is? High season tickets are sold from 65,000 rubles - 7 nights, child + parents.

Bulgaria

Of the advantages of Bulgaria, we can say the following: affordable prices, easy acclimatization for kids, no language barrier. However, the country itself in terms of service, entertainment and infrastructure is one level lower than the above directions.

Where? Resort sunny Beach - a constantly crowded place, because it is great for children, plus the cool Action water park. Albena is a "closed" hotel-type town with good beaches.

Advice: in Bulgaria it is better to choose hotels of at least 5 stars and the area away from Burgas (there is an oil refinery there).

How much is? From 60,000 rubles for three.

Spain

Head left from the central beach in Barcelona - there are fewer people there

Holidays in Europe in the summer are most popular in Catalonia. Here, literally everything is adapted for family tourists, but you need to be careful with the weather - from the middle of summer, a severe heat comes.

Where? The ideal destination for a child's vacation is the Costa Dorada with fine sand and gentle beaches. The rooftop amusement park PortAventura is a great bonus for a child of any age.

How much is? Starting prices for tours - from 75,000 rubles for a week's vacation with a child. Provided that you have a visa.

Montenegro

IN last years more and more tourists are attracted by the Adriatic Sea - a wonderful ecology (pine forests and sea air) and a calm atmosphere. We recommend booking tours for July-August, although these are very crowded months - the sea will definitely warm up.

Croatia

Croatia is mainly about nature. There are more pebble or even concrete beaches, the service is inconspicuous and there is really no entertainment - everything is replaced by the sea and mountains.

Where? Istria or Dalmatia

How much is? For three - from 70,000 rubles for 7 nights.

Tunisia

"French Africa" \u200b\u200bwith low prices and a convenient coastline, although it is already too hot in July and August. For children, summer travel is most favorable in the second half of June and mid-July.

Where? Hammamet has the cleanest sea, excellent beaches and all conditions for relaxing with a child - the Carthageland amusement park is one of the attractions. Djerba Island is nice too, but there is nothing to do outside of the hotels.

How much is? From 80,000 rubles.

Where to go to rest in the fall with children?

After the summer school holidays, it's time for parents with kids to go on a trip. In September, the flow of tourists is already significantly decreasing, and accordingly prices for vouchers are decreasing. At the same time, the beach season in October and even in November in European resorts is just beginning to come to an end, and the weather is great for long trips. In autumn, you no longer have to hide from the summer heat and you can fully enjoy your vacation on the coast.

Where to go to rest in the fall with a child? If you want to sunbathe and swim:

  • in Israel, the beach season is in full swing, plus here you will find health programs. The sea allows you to sail until the end of October - verified by us personally :)
    Tour:
  • Cyprus will meet comfortable weather for water treatments and excursions
    Tour:
  • it is not even necessary to take a phrasebook to travel to Turkey, and the beach season will end no earlier than mid-November
    Tour:

Where to relax in the winter with a child at sea?

Where can you relax abroad in the winter with children, so that acclimatization is easy and the beach vacation is just a pleasure? When choosing resorts for children, keep in mind: the country's climate should be mild without high humidity and a strong drop in day and night temperatures, at least in this season, the water, if you are relaxing by the sea, should differ in the daytime air temperature by only a few degrees.

Holidays with children on New Year 2019 is probably the most affordable in Turkey, at this time it is very cheap there compared to other seasons. But this does not mean that the quality of rest will suffer greatly, now we will tell you about the features of such a trip.
The weather at this time of the year is mostly sunny and almost without rain, about +20 in the sun. You can fish, read on the sun loungers on the beach.

Turkey in winter is not at all the same as in season - no one bothers with their goods, there is no abundance of tourists and noise. You can visit the wonderful place of Side in a calm atmosphere.

  • there is a large influx of tourists along the entire coast in summer;
  • the level of domestic service and security is inferior to foreign ones;
  • in the summer season, the cleanliness of the beaches and the sea is not ideal.

What do you need for a vacation with a child abroad?

What should be considered first of all when choosing a tour for a trip to the sea with a child?

  • Flight time and remoteness of the resort from the airport. Ideally, you should choose direct flights or with a minimum of transfers and with a short waiting time, hotels to which the transfer takes no more than an hour.
  • The presence of nearby attractions and entertainment complexes that are interesting for children of a certain age.
  • All-inclusive holidays with a children's menu or apart-hotels with their own kitchen. Take the time to grab a blender for kids 1-2 years old.
  • Distance from the beach: immediately exclude hotels located more than 500 meters from the sea. For children 3-4 years old, longer distance can be tiresome.
  • The beach should be sandy with a smooth entry into the sea, located in bays sheltered from the wind to avoid waves.
  • Special infrastructure on the territory of the hotel: children's clubs, swimming pools, slides, mini-disco, animators, educational programs. It is better if the children's pool is located next to an adult.
  • Russian speaking staff at the hotel.

Find out where you can have a cheap vacation on the sea in the summer of 2019, abroad and in Russia! We have chosen the most popular destinations for holidays by the sea and calculated for each cost index... It will help you understand where to relax is cheap and where is expensive. Compare the zip codes, pick a resort and fly on a budget.

How do we calculate the index?

We calculate two indices for the cost of a vacation: for touring travelers and for independent tourists.

Tour holiday index... For each destination, we find the cheapest tours for two for 10 days. To the cost of the tour per person we add the cost of a visa (if needed). Divide the result by 10. We get the cost of rest per day per person.

Self-travel index... Let's summarize the main expenses of a tourist and divide by 10:

  • Flights. We are looking for the cheapest round-trip flight from Moscow. Tickets can be without luggage and with transfers.
  • Housing. We find double rooms at the lowest price, we don't consider hostels. Calculation per person for 10 days.
  • Visa (if needed).

What are we not counting? Meals, travel by transport, excursions, etc. - these costs are individual, it is difficult to calculate them. Our index does not reflect all travel expenses, but allows us to compare the cost of a holiday by basic points.

Why are tickets and tours only from Moscow counted? Firstly, most tourists fly from the capital to rest. Secondly, the cheapest tickets and tours are usually from Moscow. If we count the indices for departures from all cities of Russia, the survey will surpass War and Peace in terms of volume.

Is it even cheaper? Can! In some cases, your vacation will be cheaper than according to our calculations. You will save if:

  • find a cheap one or;
  • you already have it and you are going to Europe;
  • fly to rest in low season.

Prices have been updated for the 2019 summer season and are quoted in Russian rubles. We duplicate indices for European countries in euros, for Asia - in US dollars.

Exchange rate: 1 USD ≈ 65 RUB.

This can be done using one of the booking offer aggregator sites Booking .

Sochi is a huge territory stretching for 140 kilometers along the coast, so choosing housing in Greater Sochi should be done carefully. Living in Loo is not the same as living in Adler, and it will be difficult to get to some sights. However, the Lastochka electric train runs along the Black Sea coast between Tuapse and Sochi, which will quickly take you to the Olympic facilities and to Rosa Khutor.

It is also important to remember that the hotel fund of the Krasnodar Territory is filled from larger to smaller and from more popular to less popular.
