👨👩👧👦 Top 10 destinations for an ideal family vacation
Calling a vacation with children a vacation can only be a stretch. But it is in your power to make it as useful and comfortable as possible. When choosing a vacation spot, parents most often prefer the sea coast. And rightly so: sea water and air cure many ailments and are especially useful for children. Only the healing mountain air can compare with them. So, the best places to relax with babies and older children.
Tenerife – soft climate and lots of entertainment
There is no sweltering heat in Tenerife – even in the peak summer months the average temperature is 28 degrees. You feel especially comfortable in the north of the island under the fresh breath of the Atlantic Ocean.
Therefore, despite the long flight – it takes about 5.5-6 hours to fly from Warsaw to Tenerife – the comfortable climate and sea will quickly relieve road fatigue even in children.
Three-star hotels in Tenerife are usually unpretentious establishments with very, very modest breakfasts. The rooms only have beds and refrigerator tables, and in the bathroom there is a shower stall that closes crookedly. Sometimes the room may have a small kitchen. Therefore, if you expect real comfort, then it is better to choose hotels from four stars.
But the island has beautiful beaches with black volcanic sand and seafood that is very cheap by our standards. In supermarkets, almost any fish costs around 6 euros per kilogram. Even beautiful huge fresh sea shrimps will cost the same 6 euros.
Tenerife offers a lot of entertainment for children. Must-sees are the Siam Park Water Park and the Loro Parque Zoo-Aquarium.
You can spend the whole day in the Water Park: there is an artificial “sea” on which a real wave is launched at a certain time and around which there are numerous sun loungers, many cafes and an infinity of water attractions.
The attractions are designed for visitors of all ages. And even the little ones will find safe entertainment. For example, there are water slides for kids, from which they slide down on an inflatable “cheesecake”. Moreover, there are always instructors nearby who help the child climb the slide and monitor the safe descent. All that remains is to choose a sun lounger nearby, grab a cocktail and calmly enjoy the spectacle of a frolicking child!
In Loro Parque you have the opportunity to see animals and birds almost in their natural environment. Tigers, lions, and flamingos live in large, well-kept green areas – no cages – but the animals are always visible. They made a cave for the penguins, where the birds are housed as if in a glass “refrigerator” – there are snowdrifts and falling snow in it.
Montenegro – double prevention of bronchitis
A wonderful cocktail of the smell of pine trees and the salty wind from the sea – this is the most healing combination.
Especially if you choose to stay in the Milocer Park area. This park, or rather botanical garden, stretches from the city of Przno to the island of Sveti Stefan. In addition to various Mediterranean conifers, exotic plants brought from America, Asia and Africa also grow here. For example, different types of cacti.
Relatively recently, a huge water park opened in Budva. You can visit it with children of any age.
The Baltic states are nearby, sea air and comfortable temperatures
If you are not ready for long flights with children, choose closer countries. The Baltic resorts of Lithuania and Latvia do not lose their relevance, but if you want variety, go to the islands of Estonia.
This state owns 1,500 islands: from small uninhabited to large, densely populated islands. You can get to them by ferry or plane. Why not an adventure for a child?
Estonia is also famous for a large number of good sanatoriums, where you can get not only restorative procedures, but also consultations with doctors and treatment.
Armenia – to the mountains without a visa
Armenia has no access to the sea, but Lake Sevan is called the “sea”. Located among the mountains, the lake provides unforgettable views of sunsets and sunrises, as well as numerous water activities. You can swim in the lake, but it is better to go there with children in July-August, when the water warms up above 20 degrees.
The most popular entertainment for children is located in Yerevan.
This is the Aquatek water park, which is a modern water entertainment complex. And the Yerevan Zoo, which has about 3,000 animals. It was recently updated, now the conditions for keeping animals are as close to natural as possible. They even have to get their own food so as not to lose their instincts.
