The best holidays with children abroad: TOP best countries

"My Planet" chooses the ideal family resort.

We have selected places on the planet that are really good to go with a child. The criteria are as follows: short flight and mild climate change, comfortable beach and gentle entry into the water, family-oriented hotels with animation, baby clubs and developed infrastructure, entertainment for both adults and children, interesting and accessible attractions and beautiful nature.

As stated above, we do not consider distant countries because of the tiring flight and exotic ones because of the potential dangers for children. Successful family holiday- this is primarily safety, ecology, right choice hotel and meeting internal expectations, so decide in advance whether you want to escape from everyone on desert island or find yourself in a party place. We tried to find a compromise: small resorts near major tourist centers.

Russia: seas, lakes, rivers

Everyone knows about the resorts of Krasnodar and Crimea. But who said that you can only relax at sea? There are over 2 million lakes and almost as many rivers in Russia. Many of them offer accommodation options - from tents to sanatoriums and hotels. Depending on your region of residence, you can go to Karelia, Lake Baikal or Lake Pleshcheyevo in Pereslavl-Zalessky and spend a week or two in nature. If you don’t like fresh water, you can choose Lake Bolshoye Yarovoye in the Altai Territory or Baskunchak in Astrakhan region: the water in both reservoirs is salty and the composition is similar to water Dead Sea. We just want to remind you about this opportunity, and we promise to do more detailed material about holidays with children in Russia a little later - this is a separate big topic.

Spain: Costa Dorada

Costa Dorada translated from Spanish means " golden coast" So it is: almost the entire coast of the Spanish province of Tarragona is a sandy and sunny paradise for family holidays.

The sea here is shallow, the entry is comfortable, smooth, many beaches of the Costa Dorada are awarded the international Blue Flag award, which means you don’t have to worry about the cleanliness of the water and coastal zone.

Each family chooses a place they like: quieter areas like La Pineda or Miami Playa with green parks are suitable for traveling with kids; If you are afraid of getting bored and crave fun, you should choose the festival and holiday city of Tarragona or the family-friendly Salou near the Port Aventura amusement park.

Families with teenagers and extreme sports dads will like resorts with the opportunity to try a variety of sports: people usually go to Calafell for windsurfing, snorkeling, diving, yachting, water skiing and clean beaches with a length of 80 km; people go to Hospitalet de Infant for mountains, rock climbing, cycling on mountain routes and golf.

Most hotels in the Costa Dorada are family-oriented, which means there will be animators, nannies, children's clubs, swimming pools, and special menus in cafes and restaurants.

What to see: The Costa Dorada is a fusion of culture, history and nature. In assortment: amusement park Port Aventura, Costa Caribe water park, ancient monuments, including an amphitheater and a Roman aqueduct, Barcelona is an hour's drive away. By car you can explore the entire 200 km long coastline.

When to go: Comfortable air temperatures (27-29 °C) and water temperatures (above 24 °C) usually last from July to September.

Croatia: Zaton

A group of mothers with small children or families who love peace can go to Zaton - this resort is located between Zadar and Nin, far from the highway and bustle. Its advantages are a pine forest and appropriate healing air, a shallow clean sea with a smooth sunset, a well-groomed sandy beach, restaurants, shops and car rentals on the territory.

Here you can stay on the territory of the Zaton Holiday Resort: in a house among the pine trees (with its own kitchen), in an all-inclusive hotel, a motorhome (you can rent it right away) or even a tent. In the mornings on the beach there are free aerobics classes, there is a swimming pool, attractions, pony rides, yoga, in the evenings dance classes, tennis courts, you can take horse riding lessons, bicycles or scooters for rent. There is also a diving school on the beach. There are jogging paths through the forest, and here and there there are playgrounds.

What to see: You can ride from Zaton to Zadar along the bicycle path (12 km), explore its churches, cathedrals, museums and learn about the 3000-year history of the city. On the other hand, it’s just a stone’s throw from the oldest Croatian royal city Nin (3 km), where it is pleasant to stroll along the ancient streets, taste seafood and swim on the royal sandy beach. In the district of Zadar there are National parks Plitvice Lakes, Kornati Islands, Krka Waterfalls, Paklenica and Northern Velebit. Finally, you need to visit all the beaches marked “ Blue flag“There are a lot of them in this area.

When: Croatia has a mild climate; from June to September the air temperature here is 25-29 °C, and the sea water temperature is not lower than 23-25 °C.

Montenegro: Becici

Montenegro has wonderful nature, but, like everywhere else, you need a car to see all the beauty and explore the surrounding area. The place of deployment could be Becici - a small village near noisy Budva, which, if necessary, can even be reached on foot. Becici itself is beautiful, cozy and calm: a cafe, a water park, excursions - the set is the same as on the Black Sea coast, but it is cleaner here and the all-inclusive service makes a holiday with children, even infants, pleasant and comfortable. The beaches stretch for 2 km: there are both pebble and sand - however, mostly paid. Bonus: Montenegrins love children very much.

What to see: canyons of the Moraca and Tara rivers, the highest road bridge in Europe, national park Lovcen, Budva and its Old city. On the nearby Lustica peninsula there is untouched nature, marine life, and rocks. One or two-day excursions to Albania, the Italian port city of Bari and Venice are available from Becici.

When: The water may seem cool even in summer, but in general August and September are good for holidays.

Egypt: surroundings of Hurghada

For a family holiday in Egypt, the places of Sahl Hasheesh, Soma Bay and Makadi Bay near Hurghada are suitable.

Sahl Mashish is new and calm resort, which continues to be built and developed. It is distinguished by the beauty of its architecture and well-groomed areas: there are hotels with sandy beaches and shallow seas, and others with coral reefs, where it is interesting to snorkel - the highlight of the underwater world is the local sunken city. Along the entire coastline There is a path along which it is pleasant to walk or ride bicycles.

The Sharm el Naga coral reserve is located in Soma Bay. White sand beaches stretch along the southern and western shores of the Abu Soma Peninsula. The Soma Bay resort itself is young and fresh: a holiday in this place consists of the clearest sea, diving and excursions to the ruins of ancient Egyptian cities.

Finally, Makadi Bay - the only resort, where the Egyptians themselves do not live. It was built in such a way that tourists would not be disturbed by sandstorms, and thanks to high level service, the resort received the nickname “corner of Europe”. Holidays in Egypt almost 100% depend on the choice of hotel, because it will be the main source of entertainment.

What to see: coral reefs and undersea world, ruins of a sunken ancient city Isis and land ancient monuments in the surrounding area, the beauty of the desert, which can be appreciated during a jeep safari, a Bedouin village.

When: on Egyptian resorts people come both in summer and winter. However, summer temperatures are not very favorable for children: 30-35 °C, while in winter strong temperature changes are possible. Therefore, the most comfortable holiday is in spring and autumn.

Greece: Halkidiki, Peloponnese, islands

The advantages of Greece for holidays with children are obvious: the abundance of greenery, good climate, responsive population, similar worldview (Greeks are mostly Orthodox), delicious food, abundance family hotels and entertainment, but most importantly - rich culture and history. Myths come to life here, and a child will be able to learn about Ancient Greece, Olympian gods and mythical heroes.

For holidays with children, the not too hot Halkidiki in the north of the mainland and the Peloponnese in the south, as well as the islands of Rhodes, Corfu, Kos, Crete (Heraklion and Lassithi) are suitable.

We especially note the Peloponnese peninsula, washed by the Ionian and Aegean seas, — it has not yet become a mass destination for tourists. There are many family hotels here, where the Greeks themselves are accustomed to relax. The peninsula is rich historical monuments and nature, suitable for walking and cycling. Best suited for families with children north coast— Achaia and Corinthia, the most popular resort in this area is Loutraki, it is surrounded by mountains and is famous mineral springs.

What to see: In the Peloponnese, the ruins of Sparta and Mycenae, the fortresses and fort of Nafplio, waterfalls, caves with underground lakes, the Corinth Canal, which runs between two seas - the Ionian and Aegean, and the national bird park, which is under the protection of UNESCO, are interesting.

While in Loutraki, don’t forget to climb Mount Gerania to the monastery of St. Potapios - it opens up from above beautiful view to the sea and the city. If you rent a car and think through the route, you can see much more.

When: lovers of excursions and nature come in May and June. height swimming season falls in July-August. September and October are the velvet season.

UAE: Ras al Khaimah and Fujairah

In United United Arab Emirates You shouldn’t go in the summer, when the air temperature sometimes goes beyond 40 °C. But in spring and autumn, holidays there will be wonderful, because the UAE is famous for its beaches. The emirate of Fujairah is beautiful and rich in historical monuments. Ras al-Khaimah is less popular among tourists, although it is also picturesque: here the mountains approach the sea, the climate is mild, and the beaches are clean and rich in water activities for the whole family.

What to see: UAE resorts will surprise you with their architecture and nature, unlike ours. Ras Al Khaimah offers family treks, adventure sports, archery, bird watching, raft building, mountaineering and more. Fujairah has an interesting old city; there is a Museum of Ancient Settlements with archaeological finds, from here you can easily access Al Wurrayah Waterfalls, Ain Al Madhab Gardens and Ain Al Ghamour Hot Sulfur Springs.

When: In general, it is warm or hot in the UAE all year round, but the most comfortable holidays will be in March, April, October and November. From December to February, the sea water may seem cold (around 20 °C).

Bulgaria: Sveti Vlas and St. Constantine and Helena

Bulgaria has a mild climate, the familiar Black Sea and low prices. The Sunny Beach resort is in particular demand, but for children it may be too noisy and fussy. Just 5 km away is the calmer and family resort of Sveti Vlas, which began to be rebuilt only in 2000. Sea air, nearby mountains and pine forests create a special microclimate in it, which is very useful for children with pulmonary diseases. Parents choose this place because of safety, calm sea, and a 1.5 km long sandy beach.

An alternative to a young resort could be oldest resort Bulgaria - St. Constantine and Helena, 8 km from Varna. This is one of the greenest seaside cities in the country, it is famous for its clean mountain air and mineral springs. The golden sand stretches in a wide strip for 5 km, the coast is interrupted by bays and cliffs. It is worth considering that some beaches have stairs leading to them and it is not convenient to use strollers everywhere. Therefore, it is better to settle with children near the shore.

What to see: From Sveti Vlas it is a stone's throw to one of the oldest cities in Europe - Nessebar, included in the UNESCO list, as well as to the party town of Sunny Beach, where there is a water park, discos and other entertainment.

St. Constantine and Helena pleases with its proximity to the large city of Varna and popular resort Golden Sands, which means you won’t get bored.

When: It is best to go to the Black Sea in July-August, otherwise it may turn out to be cold. However, warm pools will help protect against bad weather.

Looking at the experience of my friends who travel with children, I can say that it is very difficult to travel with the smallest ones. Not only for the child himself (flight, move, especially a long one), not only for parents, for whom a vacation is not a vacation, just a change of scenery outside the window, but also for other vacationers. Therefore, it is better to travel more or less comfortably from at least three years old and not far. And no excursions.

In my opinion, the most difficult thing is traveling with children. But reading this article I got the impression that the complexity is too high, thank you))) Good luck to everyone on your travels!

In fact, a vacation with a child is real happiness :) Last year, my son and husband went to France, specifically to Paris. My son was 4 years old at that time and this was his first trip outside hometown. He endured the flight calmly, and indeed any transport movements. I was delighted with the size Eiffel Tower And French, even though he understood absolutely nothing. Then he secretly told me in my ear that “these strangers talk very beautifully”)) We went to Disneyland, I have never seen such huge eyes that were full of happiness from Egor. The plus is that in There is so much to see and where to go in Paris, and their desserts are, mm, something unreal. In general, what my husband and I took away from that trip is that now the whole family will go somewhere more often (before this we preferred to go only together) , because giving your baby joy is the most important thing!

We travel abroad with a child over two years old. I definitely don’t recommend it before, you need him to stand confidently on his feet, and you can do without a stroller. I advise you to choose countries with a temperate climate, so that there is no severe stress for the child. We personally traveled to Croatia and Turkey, and did not feel any problems there, we had a great rest, we bought what we needed on the spot and did not carry large bags.

I have always been in favor of traveling with a child. There is nothing wrong with this, and I personally did not feel any inconvenience. My daughter and I flew to Turkey for the first time when she was 9 months old. When she was one year old they went to bus tour in Europe. The main thing is to always have all the necessary things with you: pacifiers, bottles, toys, thermos. In general, so that everything is at hand.

Personally, I think that taking a child under 4 years of age with you is pointless. He still doesn’t understand anything and won’t remember anything. As for older children, you definitely need to take them with you. For a teenager it will be something incredible) New places, new people, new acquaintances, souvenirs. My parents took me everywhere. and I thank them for that. I think your children will be just as happy!

I believe that it is necessary and at the same time useful to travel with children, as they discover something new and experience different situations. As they grow up, they will remember the brightest moments in their lives that they spent with their parents. Don't forget that you need to look after your children and not forget them. I often notice that family vacations are replaced by parents’ vacations when they start vacationing without children - this is not possible!

In November we vacationed in Egypt and took our daughter (she’s two years old) with us. We were very worried that she would not be afraid of the flight, but as it turned out, it was in vain. The child is very inquisitive, so everything went without problems. When staying at a hotel, you should immediately check whether your room has everything necessary for a small child; the hotel administration often comes to a meeting if something is not satisfactory and agrees to change the room or make some concessions.

Last year, friends went on vacation to Turkey. Three of us went: husband, wife and five-year-old child. Everyone really liked it. Especially a child. The parents were delighted with how their son took the trip. I wasn't particularly capricious. Although he is quite restless. I think it’s worth going abroad with children. After all, this is a sea of positive emotions for the whole family. And for children it’s also big Adventure which they will remember for the rest of their lives.

I am absolutely FOR holidays with children. After all, this is not just a vacation, but also an improvement in health. Our country occupies most of northern regions, and We really miss the southern sun, not to mention the children. Therefore, I think that it is simply necessary for the whole family to go to resorts. Specifically, to the southern regions. Personally, every summer, at the beginning of June, the whole family goes to foreign beaches. We took our first child for the first time when he was 8 months old (we flew to Vietnam). Since then, every year (even during the 2nd pregnancy) we arrange a ten-day vacation. Children tolerate the flight well. Therefore, I recommend everyone to arrange such trips.

The first time we vacationed abroad with our child was when he was only 3 years old. I was more worried about the flight, since the child is fidgety, sitting still is a problem for us. But nothing, the flight went well. Well, the holiday itself was great, choose a good hotel so that the child has something to do. Our hotel had a children's water park, an amusement park, and even a mini zoo. And this is all in addition to the children's room, animators, etc. The child had fun. The food was excellent, milk porridge daily, all sorts of sweets, dietary and steamed dishes. We were pleased with our vacation and all our fears about the child were dispelled on the first day of our stay.

Good afternoon. My child is only three years old. That's why I carefully choose trips before going abroad. Travel agencies provide various types of holidays. I like Bulgaria better. It's sunny and warm there. This country uses the "all inclusive" system. I rent a car and there are no problems. I recommend Bulgaria to everyone. Have a nice holiday.

My two children (3 and 8 years old) flew to Malaysia, from there to Singapore and back. The only thing that was difficult was the flight. We flew in economy class for a very long time. In Singapore, everything went without any problems, the emotions were only positive. It was not easy to find a suitable place for lunch in Malaysia. Not the usual food for our stomachs. And of course, instead of the usual stray dogs, there are monkeys running around the city.

We were with a 6 month old baby in Rhodes, Greece. We immediately rented a car, an additional child seat, and traveled around the entire island. Be sure to take a kangaroo carrier with you, it will make your vacation much easier - the island is mountainous and not everywhere is convenient with a stroller. The hotel had a children's kitchen, but it was of no use to us; we used milk and cans that we brought with us. Having small children is not a reason to stay at home, travel together!

I have a son, he is 11 months old. We have been traveling since we were 4 months old. The first country we visited was Thailand. The baby calmly endured the long flight and slept almost the entire time)) Everything was fine in Thailand too. We chose the city of Hua Hin. This clean city, city of the king)) Thai king he loves to relax there)) And many people come here with their families. Since Hua Hin is considered family resort. And there are beaches for every taste! In general, we liked it! All was good. The Thais have shopping centers There are even special toilets for infants. There you can wash him and change his diaper! The only thing that bothered me was that the Thais love children very much and everyone tries to touch the child. Which I think is not very good in terms of bacteria!! I tried not to let him get too close to the child. And then there were some individuals who even tried to touch the baby’s pacifier!! And I agree that with a small child it is better to choose beach holiday. It’s difficult on excursions with children. And yet, it is advisable to take a lightweight stroller so that you can easily travel everywhere and it is not difficult to lift and fold. Since in Thailand the roads are not very suitable for walking with a stroller, so you need a small and light stroller))

I have a child myself and he is just one year old. I have a great desire to fly abroad to relax, but I’m worried about the baby, I think it’s not right to take a child, especially up to a year, to a place where he is not accustomed and you don’t know what the consequences will be later. Let’s wait until my son is 3 years old and the family will go abroad, and most likely it will be Greece. The child will be happy and so will the parents.

I believe that children from an early age should have the opportunity to visit other countries and learn something new, so I always try to take my son (7 years old) with me on vacation. This year we went to Prague. Since he is not interested in “boring” excursions, we visited a zoo, a water park, a chocolate museum and a toy museum. Both liked this program - it was fun and not very expensive. In general, vacationing with a child in cities aimed at tourists is a pleasure, as there are many options for entertainment; but it is important to think through the route in advance, plan which places are worth visiting, and also buy tickets for selected events in advance, otherwise there is a risk of getting into a long line, which can cause the child to become capricious.

My relatives went on vacation with their children to Paris in the summer. Everything was wonderful, and anyone who goes to Paris with children will have a great time. But just one caveat: you shouldn’t go there expecting to spend little money. The child will see many interesting souvenirs, beautiful children's clothing and jewelry. He will want to bring it to his friends and buy more for himself. There are a lot of shopping temptations for children, so if you do not have sufficient funds, then it is better not to upset yourself and your children with a holiday in Paris...

Children, in general, love to travel. Especially where there is a sea. We have two daughters. The eldest is 7 years old, the youngest is 3 years old. We were in Bulgaria in the summer. Liked everything. There were some minor issues with nutrition, but they were resolved quickly. The room had a stove and microwave, so sometimes I cooked myself. Of course, this couldn’t be called a vacation for my mother, but there was a nanny there and they left the children with her for a couple of hours. In general, I liked everything.

My daughter, her one and a half year old grandson, and her husband went to Bulgaria to the Gold Coast. They took my mother-in-law with them - my wife. It was a wonderful holiday for adults. They really had a rest, without stressing much about caring for the child, because they were constantly changing. And they lived in rented apartment, i.e. also cooking. And the child felt some discomfort and was often capricious. I was very happy when I returned home to my familiar apartment. I want to say that holidays with children under 3 years old are more for parents, not children.

Until she was three years old, I didn’t go anywhere with my daughter on vacation. My friends scared me that it was very difficult. That this will not be a rest, but on the contrary, supposedly I will be terribly tired. As a result, when my daughter turned 3 and a half years old, we went on vacation with her to the sea for the first time. Here, of course, everything depends on each individual child. But my girl behaved wonderfully. She just showed curiosity about anything all the time. In general, I didn’t have to get tired. My only advice is to be careful and don’t forget anything at home. Make a list of what you need for your child. Otherwise, later, if you suddenly forget something, it may not be very easy.

Last year, my grandfather persuaded us to go by car with our daughter to Astrakhan. Of course, I was tired of sitting at home and wanted to go somewhere, so I agreed. To be honest, I won’t go alone in a car anymore, not even with a child. We ourselves traveled from the Urals for more than a day; I will never forget such a vacation. Of course, everything was great in Astrakhan, but we still had to go back home. My daughter felt great (already at the vacation spot), I am for vacationing with children, but only on a different type of transport.

My daughter is 4 years old...we've been traveling together since she was 2 years old, we've already visited a lot of places and still have a lot to visit...we returned from Norway a week ago...so that's what I want to tell you, maybe for someone it's a vacation lying in front of the TV or sitting aimlessly on social networks, but I relax by traveling... and traveling with a child is a hundred times more beautiful... I can’t even imagine how a vacation can go without my daughter... we explore new places together, develop together and this is wonderful... but of course I would like to warn those who like active recreation - children get tired quickly and this may slightly disrupt your plans and throw off your schedule.

It is generally undesirable to travel far from home with a child under three years old. Even the sea can provide such acclimatization that mother, don’t worry. But with an older child, it’s quite possible to try abroad. Last year I flew with a 5-year-old child to Turkey, there is a lot of entertainment there for children of that age, there are animators. We were on the Black Sea a couple of years ago, and the child was suffering from boredom.

Pediatricians do not recommend long-distance travel with children under 3 years of age. I don't see the point in this either. Firstly, not every adult tolerates the flight well, secondly, acclimatization is unknown how it will go, and thirdly, why does a child need this? And the parents will have an incomplete vacation: they will not have the opportunity to go on a long excursion or go to night club. Although everything is individual. Some friends flew to Turkey with their one-year-old son, everything was great. Others went with their 3-year-old daughter to the Black Sea (only 1000 km), but she got so sick that they spent a week in their room getting treatment. What would they do abroad?

Some people take children who are not yet a year old on vacation. For example, I think this is wrong, if only because the child’s immunity has not been formed and the body is not strong. My friends started going on vacation with their child when he turned 3 years old. This is probably the best option. I think you need to travel with a child, he discovers a lot of new things, positive emotions, and develops. And for yourself it’s calmer - your beloved child is nearby, you know that everything is fine with him. This article describes best places for a holiday with a child. I took note of them.

We have been traveling with our son for 5 years out of 9 years of his life. My baby really loves water holidays, so this year my choice fell on Montenegro - inexpensive, healthy and interesting vacation both for me and for my son. Diving and surfing services were provided. Tried it for the first time, it felt wonderful. Don’t be afraid of something new, it’s never too late to know yourself, this is what I’ve been teaching my son since childhood. So, if you want, you can find so many interesting things to do that you won’t have enough time to see them all. I am for holidays with children abroad.

We have Small child one year old This summer we vacationed in Turkey. We chose a place and a hotel in advance, which are equipped with all the amenities for a holiday with small children. No problems, great conditions. tasty and necessary food for both moms and dads and little kids. Don’t be afraid to travel with small children, I assure you you can organize the holiday you want.

I have three children, we vacationed in Turkey this summer, and this is what I will say. In fact, I believe that traveling with a child is necessary. In the hotel where we were vacationing, there was an animation club, I have three children, the eldest is 13, the youngest are 8 and 4. Actually, they didn’t get out of there, because it was very interesting, and my husband and I were able to relax normally, and sometimes we just fell into when we were young, we went to them and played with them, just like that.

An eternal question that worries compassionate mothers. If earlier it was possible to fly quite comfortably and cheaply to Turkey or on our favorite All-inclusive system, then after the restriction of flights in these directions, the choice budget resorts decreased noticeably. 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 immunity is significantly strengthened, his body is strengthened, 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 arranges in Cyprus kids club“Bibliosha”, 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 private 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.

In the photo: a holiday in Turkey is pleasant for children with a variety of animations

Probably the most popular destination For holidays with children due to the coincidence of three pillars of a well-spent time: sea + animation + round-the-clock food. As a minus, I would say that prices for holidays in Turkey have skyrocketed in last years, and availability of recreation in good hotel The price is comparable to the European one. This is a paradise with small children, and the same with older children, which is why large families love to come here.

In the photo: holidays with children in Europe are probably the most diverse

I mean countries Western Europe. How solo traveler, with small children I visited Spain, Italy, France and Monaco.
