Where to go to rest with the child?

Family vacations are one of the brightest pages of the history of each of us. It is remembered for a lifetime. To keep these memories warm, parents want to plan the long-awaited vacation with the child as best they can. But already at the planning stage a lot of difficulties and questions arise. This is especially true of recreation. We will talk about where to go and what to do on holidays or weekends in this article.

The choice of vacation destination depends on many factors. It is important to consider the financial side of the issue, because all families have different budgets. It is equally important to clearly understand what you and your child want from this holiday. This can be a “lazy” beach pastime, active recreation in a sporty style, educational vacation, during which the child and his parents can learn a lot of new and interesting things. The purpose of the vacation can be wellness treatments that will be equally beneficial for all family members.

The most popular form of recreation is the beach. If the family with a child already has extensive travel experience and has the necessary money, you can choose any foreign resort. It is important to consider the age of the child.

Knowing the features of the health of your baby, you can plan a vacation on the beaches of Bulgaria or in Cyprus. There is soft sand, rather mild climate, a lot of Russian-speaking staff. Perfectly adapted for children's recreation resorts Greece.

As a plus of a foreign beach holiday you can note a well-thought-out infrastructure. Almost every hotel offers a children's menu in the restaurant. Most hotels have children's rooms and at any time available services nannies, animators, guides.

The Russian south cannot yet boast excellent service at resorts, but it is most preferable for families with small children (due to acclimatization, which in the conditions of their native country goes more smoothly and quickly).

The most popular place to relax on the sea is the Black Sea coast. A rather expensive vacation in Sochi and Anapa. Somewhat cheaper - in Tuapse, Gelendzhik, Loo, Lazarevskoye. Almost all of these cities and towns have additional entertainment for older children: water parks, dolphinariums, amusement parks, zoos.

Rest in Crimea is still more affordable financially than a vacation in Sochi, but prices on the peninsula are already rapidly approaching the level of the Sochi. However, if this direction is chosen, you can please several family members who have different goals and expectations. Crimea can be a great place for beach, as well as for informative and sightseeing rest, for fans of extreme sports and beautiful landscapes.

If the financial capacity of the family is more modest than the rest on the Black Sea coast requires, it is worth considering the opportunity to spend a holiday on the shores of the Azov Sea. In Yeisk, the village of Golubitskaya, as well as Dolzhanskaya, you can enjoy the silence of the whole family, which is especially nice if you go to the sea with a baby. Older children there will be boring, because the beach vacation in its pure form rather quickly bored fidget. They want to go to the park, to the rides, and with the entertainment industry on the Azov coast, everything is rather sad - there are almost none.

It is still quite affordable for families with a variety of incomes can be considered a holiday by the Caspian Sea. In sanatoriums and boarding houses of the city of Kaspiisk, as well as in many settlements of Dagestan, located by the sea, do not "throw up a price." Among the undoubted advantages can be identified fairly clean coast. The minus is the same as that of the Azov coast: the lack of modern infrastructure.

For residents of the northern regions of Russia who have decided to go to the sea with a baby, the Baltic is ideal. The sea is warm there, and the sun does not burn as mercilessly as at the Black Sea resorts, so the rest in the Kaliningrad region will not be accompanied by prolonged acclimatization. With infrastructure here everything is quite well.

It is desirable that the beach was sandy or pebble. If this is not, it is worthwhile to worry in advance about purchasing special beach shoes for the child. It will protect the legs from sharp stones.

In the selected hotel there should be a children's menu (or the restaurant should offer dishes on special order). A variety of entertainment - at your discretion, depending on the age and interests of the child. On the presence of a separate children's pool on site should pay special attention. Well, if there is one.

The most suitable places for family holidays are the bases on the Volga, in Karelia and Adygea, as well as on Lake Baikal. Needless to say, this kind of outdoor recreation can be planned by “savages”! Overnight stay in tents and fresh fish ear cooked on a fire, fresh air - all this will benefit both adults and children of almost any age (with the exception, perhaps, of infants). If you like this kind of vacation, you should think over the children's leisure time in advance, because it will also have to be organized independently.

If you have a small erudite growing up in your family, an inquisitive restless person, he will be more interested in cognitive rest, and this holiday will bring a lot of pleasure to adults. You can go on an excursion tour to Europe. Family excursions are thought out to the smallest detail in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Sweden.

If you do not have a valid Schengen visa, but you do not want to issue it, you can take advantage of the numerous offers from Russian travel agencies or create an informative route yourself. As for the finished offers, the most popular destinations for the last two seasons are guided tours Moscow, St. Petersburg, along the Golden Ring of Russia, excursion trips to Altai, to Adygea.

It will be necessary to carefully examine all the articles available on the Internet about certain sights of the selected city or region.You will also need to book a hotel or rent an apartment, think about where and what you will feed the child and eat yourself, inquire about the mode of operation of selected museums, galleries, parks, and also think about how to get to the selected location.

If you still want for the borderYou can consider options that do not require a mandatory visa. it Turkey, Egypt, Montenegro and a number of other states outside the Schengen zone. There you can not only satisfy the need for beach rest, but also take part in fascinating excursions that everyone will remember for a long time.

Do not forget about Cyprus, where to visit you need to arrange only free provision.

If there is a desire and need to use vacation to solve the accumulated problems with health, you can choose one of the resorts, which are sufficient both abroad and in Russia. Usually they specialize in certain groups of diseases. In some, diseases of the musculoskeletal system are treated, in others, ENT diseases, in others, neurological disorders. In several sanatoriums in Anapa, children are treated with cerebral palsy and other motor dysfunctions, in the Nizhny Novgorod region there are a number of institutions that offer to combine outdoor recreation with medical procedures for children with ENT problems.

Families in which frequently ill children with severely weakened immunity grow up take Baikal. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are treated in sanatoria and boarding houses of the North Caucasus (in Mineralnye Vody, Kislovodsk). You can learn about this or that sanatorium from doctors: they usually recommend such places themselves.

Parents should be aware that such a vacation will require substantial preparation: you will have to collect certificates and extracts from the child’s medical record and your own cards, receive recommendations from the attending physicians, take certificates of epidokruzheniye and pass a bunch of tests.

In pensions, the rules are somewhat simpler, but going there empty-handed will not work. If you want to receive a wellness procedure, you will need to provide the local doctors with documented information about your health.

If you want to spend your vacation in motion, you should consider such areas as the Crimea and Sochi. On the peninsula, family bike rides are well developed; in Sochi, you can go sailing, diving, and skydiving. The ski resort of Sochi in no way inferior to similar resorts in Switzerland.

In Turkey, you can try your hand at rafting - rafting on mountain rivers. In Russia, this can be done in Adygea and in the North Caucasus, as well as in the Urals and even in Siberia.

To spend a vacation actively, it’s not necessary to go somewhere. Now in each region there are many interesting places where you can play paintball, shoot carbines and bows, ride horses, go hiking with a group of cavers or climbers.

The whole family can take part in a fishing tournament, in a quest, in a kite festival, and so on.

In the summer you can go anywhere. Holidays in Russia and abroad will be equally exciting (if it is properly planned and meets the needs and expectations of each member of your family). It is more difficult to make the right choice if the vacation for adults falls on the fall, spring or winter holidays of the child.

It makes no sense to go to the sea in the spring, if it is not the coast of the Red Sea in Egypt. There the swimming beach season can be safely opened at the end of March. In Turkey, it is cold to swim in spring, but the beaches of the United Arab Emirates are already receiving tourists who miss the sea and the sun.

In the fall, you can also extend the summer itself by going to the beaches of Egypt, Turkey (until mid-October), in the UAE. Educational tours in Europe and in Russian cities are also very popular this season, as well as outdoor activities. Ride on bagels and skis because of the climatic features of a number of cities in Siberia can be already at the end of October.

In winter, beach lovers can go to Egypt. In the Red Sea at this time, swimming is pretty cool (the water temperature is about 20 degrees), but the outdoor pools at the hotels will delight both adults and children. If you still want to sit on the beach at the height of winter, it is better to fly with your child to Thailandwhere in general you can safely swim even in January, even in February.

However, parents in vain think that the child will enjoy only swimming in the sea.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to plan a vacation for a relatively short period of time - on weekends or vacations. The most popular destinations for the New Year are the warm overseas resorts mentioned above.

In recent years, trips to Veliky Ustyug are no less popular.

At Shrovetide, if possible, you can visit one of the cities of the Golden Ring of Russia (for example, Vladimir, Yaroslavl). There, this holiday is celebrated with such breadth and scope that your family will have enough impressions for a long time.

Spring break can be spent at one of the ski resorts in Austria, in Poland, and for patriotic tourists in Sochi.

Compliance with this simple rule will reduce the intensity of acclimatization in a child and will allow the whole family to have a good rest, and not to be treated during and after the holidays.

Leisure activities and entertainment "savages" in camping and tents are not suitable for young children, for them it is better to choose quiet places with fresh air and a measured rhythm of life, as well as the obligatory presence of infrastructure. Among the seas, it is better to give preference to the Azov and the Baltic. However, even there it is not necessary to go at the height of the tourist season, when the beaches are crowded with people. Ideal option - sanatoriums of the Volga region, the Caucasus, the Urals.

• Do not refuse the opportunity to spend a vacation with your child, even if you have a “complete set” of grandparents. This time is priceless, as it gives the opportunity to communicate with your own child more.
• Approach planning wisely, consider the age of the child, its tastes and compare them with your interests and capabilities.
