Evpatoria has been considered one of the best children's resorts on the Black Sea for decades. And there are many reasons for this... Evpatoria is located very close to Simferopol airport, which means that a transfer with a child will be quick and not tiring. The vast majority of Evpatoria's beaches are sandy with a gentle entrance. Evpatoria has a well-developed infrastructure. There is a huge dolphinarium, rides, playgrounds, an amusement park, a water park " Banana republic"," Dinopark ", Alley of fairy tales, Central Park, Arboretum and much more.

The beaches in Yalta are pebbly, as well as on the entire Southern Coast of Crimea (South Coast), and the relief is hills and mountains ... However, this does not prevent Yalta from being one of the most popular children's destinations. The explanation for this is the excellent climate, beautiful nature, a very developed infrastructure, as well as the best and most famous sights of Crimea, symbolizing the entire peninsula. Of the sights, this is, of course, the castle Bird home, Massandra Palace, Livadia Palace, temples, churches and museums, as well as a cable car to Mount Ai-Petri ... Children, in addition to the cable car to Mount Ai-Petri, will be pleased with the Yalta Oceanarium, the Atlantis water park, the Glade of Fairy Tales, the zoo "Fairy Tale" and others.

Krasnodar region

The resorts of the Krasnodar Territory are hundreds of kilometers of beaches of the Black and Azov Seas, interesting sights, stunning nature, tasty food, fruits, berries and a lot of entertainment. Most of the beaches of the Krasnodar Territory are pebbly, but there are also wonderful sandy beaches, for example, in Anapa with Dzhemete and Vityazevo, partially in Lazarevsky and Gelendzhik ... And there are also magnificent wild rocky beaches. The infrastructure is widely developed, although there is something to strive for. The resorts of the Krasnodar Territory have a huge number of water parks, dolphinariums and amusement parks. The sea warms up for children from June, it is good to relax here with children and the velvet season is in September.

The main international airports are located in Anapa (Vityazevo) and Sochi (Adler), smaller - in Krasnodar, the smallest - in Gelendzhik. Bus service is developed, as well as railway communication (both long-distance trains and electric trains).

Anapa is perhaps the most popular children's resort in the Krasnodar Territory. And no wonder! In close proximity international Airport Anapa (Vityazevo) and railroad station, which means that the transfer will not tire the child at all. There are a small number of pebbly beaches, such as Su Psekh and Sukko. But basically, in Anapa and the nearby Dzhemet and Vityazevo, there are gorgeous sandy beaches, a comfortable entrance to the sea, developed infrastructure and a lot of entertainment for the child: Amusement Park, Water Park "Golden Beach", Water Park "Tiki-Tak", Dinopark "Rex", Children's Park Entertainment, the Olympia Water Park, the Nemo Dolphinarium, the Utrish Dolphinarium, etc. There are few attractions, especially historical ones, in Anapa ... It’s right, otherwise there will be no time for gorgeous beaches, water parks, dolphinariums and other entertainment

There is a railway station. The airport in Vityazevo is only 15 km from Anapa.

Lazarevskoye is the farthest northern corner of Greater Sochi, located exactly in the middle between Sochi and Tuapse. Here wide sand and pebble beaches with a gentle entrance to the sea, a fairly developed infrastructure, there are natural and historical attractions, including "33 waterfalls" ... Entertainment for children: Water park "Nautilus", Aquapark-dolphinarium "Starfish", Dolphinarium "Lazarevsky", Central Park, attractions, Park "Berendeevo Kingdom"...

There is a railway station. From Sochi airport (Adler) to Lazarevsky about 100 km.

Since the 2014 Olympics, Sochi has matured, become more beautiful and friendly to vacationers, although many still dislike it ... for prices, pebbles, transport connection- everyone has their own reasons ... Nevertheless, Sochi remains one of the most popular family resorts in Russia, and all year round - from the sea to ski resorts hand over. There is a developed infrastructure, a huge number of attractions and entertainment, both for adults and for children ... The child will be pleased with the water parks "Akvaloo", "Galaktika", "Amphibius", "Mayak", etc., amusement parks "Sochi-Park" , "Galaktika", "Riviera", oceanariums and dolphinariums, an arboretum, a circus... Sochi-Park and SkyPark will add adrenaline to adults. The beaches of Sochi have medium and large pebbles.

Sochi has Train Station. Adler Airport is less than 30 km away.

Adler is the closest neighbor of Sochi, so the sights and entertainment are essentially the same ... Plus Adler Park with playgrounds and attractions, child Center"Madagascar". Well, the Olympic infrastructure, Sochi Park, SkyPark and ski Krasnaya Polyana are even closer than from Sochi. By the way, the view from the cable cars of Krasnaya Polyana is even more beautiful in summer than in winter. And from Adler you can walk to the beaches of Abkhazia!
The beaches in Adler are small and medium pebble, you can find sand and pebble, but there will be very little sand

There is a railway station. Airport within the city.

Gelendzhik is one of the oldest and most popular Black Sea resorts with one of the most developed infrastructures. Gelendzhik is located near the very picturesque Gelendzhik Bay of the same name and has a good long promenade. In addition to Gelendzhik itself, Big Gelendzhik includes Divnomorskoye, Golubaya Bukhta, Kabardinka, etc. A very long beach strip for tens of kilometers includes completely different beaches: sandy, sandy-pebble, pebble, wild rocky ... the beaches of Kabardinka and Golubaya Bukhta are suitable - the entrance to the water is more comfortable here, fewer people and cleaner than the sea in Gelendzhik itself. From entertainment for children - "Safari Park", Gelendzhik Dolphinarium, "Dinopark" in Kabardinka, water parks "Golden Bay", "Begemot" and "Dolphin" ... "Golden Bay" is one of the best water parks on the Black Sea coast and not only it ... From June to September, the Gelendzhik Carnival, Carnival on the Water, City Day celebrations, the International Hydroaviation Salon and other large-scale events are held here.

Thinking about perfect holiday, more often they mention the Red or Caribbean Sea, but when it comes to practice, the choice almost always falls on the Black Sea coast. This is largely due to elementary financial issues, but still they would not come here if it were bad here. Perhaps a vacation with children on the Black Sea is not a dream, simply because it is not so difficult for most of our compatriots to realize it, while every family member will surely like it here.

Advantages

Why are Russians so massively drawn to the Black Sea? This is not an accident - there are many reasons forcing family tourists to go here. So, the choice in favor of the Black Sea is:

• Everything you need for a quality holiday. In addition to the sea itself, we also need the appropriate infrastructure, from comfortable and equipped beaches to hotels and entertainment. The Black Sea coast is perhaps the only one in all of Russia that more or less fully meets this requirement.
• Just organizational. Several countries have access to the Black Sea coast, but Russian tourists in 99% of cases they go to the Black Sea without leaving their own country. This means that no additional documents are needed, whether it be passports or visas, there is also no need to know foreign languages, nor in due attention to local customs - they do not differ much in any way. In a word, there are not so many intermediate steps from the inception of the idea to the arrival at the place.
• Close. Traveling with children is always difficult, also because of the poor tolerance of babies. long road. It is more than a thousand kilometers from Moscow to the Black Sea coast, more than one and a half thousand from St. Petersburg, and even further from the Urals and Siberia, but it is still much closer than all the other seas that claim to be not just a salty reservoir, but a normal resort.
• Easy to get to. For Russian transport companies south direction important all year round, and in the summer it becomes a priority. You can get to the large local resorts in a matter of hours from almost any corner of Russia, which is very convenient for families with babies and small children. Trains cover almost the entire same territory, but the cost is slightly cheaper; for most regions of the European part of the Russian Federation, the duration of the trip usually does not exceed two days. Finally, the adjacent subjects of the federation are also connected with the Black Sea coast bus service, which extends even to Moscow and St. Petersburg. About 2/3 of all our fellow citizens live in the normal reach zone, many of them are ready to go on vacation even just by car.
• Inexpensive. Given the relative geographical proximity to the consumer and the non-international nature of local resorts, you can save a lot on the trip. This is very important for families with children, who already regularly face the need for significant expenses. It is better to rest here and buy something useful than to spend everything on a conditional Dubai.

In addition, the tourism potential of the region is rapidly developing in an area that is not directly related to beach holiday. For example, in the southern part of the Russian Black Sea region, there is an opportunity at any time to go on a short excursion to the mountains - to admire the landscapes in summer or go skiing in winter.

Gourmets will not be able to pass by local cuisine which absorbed the traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Caucasus. Those who like to learn the culture of the region in which they rest will like to learn new Interesting Facts about the history and characteristics of these regions.

In a word, going to the sea, you can have a great rest for little money without unnecessary paperwork, and even bring a whole lot of unexpected impressions.

Climatic features of the area: water and air temperature by season

When discussing the peculiarities of the climate of the Black Sea coast of Russia, it should be understood that we are talking about a territory stretching for hundreds of kilometers, therefore absolutely identical climatic conditions here simply cannot be. Most often, this region is divided into three parts according to climatic characteristics, which differ significantly from each other.

From Taman to Anapa

A temperate maritime climate reigns here - in contrast to more southern regions, there are no mountains protecting the coast from winds from the north. Weather conditions are typical for the south of Russia, except that they are somewhat softened by the proximity of the sea. Average summer temperatures are 26-30 degrees above zero. Water also warms up to the same temperatures, but other times of the year are definitely not suitable for a beach holiday. If you are going on vacation with small children, then June is not the best choice because the water hasn't warmed up yet.

On the other hand, the reduced tourist popularity of this section of the coast may appeal to those who do not like extra noise and want to save money.

From Anapa to Tuapse

Experts call the local climate Mediterranean, which, for sure, will appeal to tourists. A characteristic feature of this area is a special aridity, since the number sunny days in a year exceeds 300, and in summer clouds in general are a huge rarity, which only contributes to a beach holiday. As for the temperatures, they practically do not differ from those in Taman, except perhaps a couple of degrees hotter. The local summer heat is much better tolerated due to low humidity.

This part of the coast could be described as the one that enjoys the average level of popularity among tourists, but for children it is a paradise. Therefore, it is here that most of the children's camps. July and August - unequivocal tourist season, in June it is also rarely cool, and with older children you can come even at the end of May or the first half of September.

South of Tuapse

This part of the coast is already reliably protected by spurs Caucasus mountains, so the climate here, almost without any transition, turns into a subtropical humid. There is no snow here at all, but rains are not at all uncommon, although most of them still fall not directly on the coast, but a few kilometers further - in the mountains. The air temperature in summer often reaches 35 degrees, and such conditions are somewhat more difficult to endure precisely because of the high humidity - it can be quite stuffy here.

The water warms up to a temperature of 30 degrees for almost half a year, which greatly extends the season. In general, a noticeable influx of tourists is observed here even in the second half of April and throughout October, however, for holidays with small children, it is better to consider dates from May to September.

An important role is also played by the exact location of a particular settlement, because some settlements are securely closed by mountains from all sides, while others, a few kilometers away, can be open to winds from the valleys. At the same time, in the summer it is good here almost everywhere, and if you climbed to the very south, then May and September will not disappoint.

Features of acclimatization: how not to spoil the rest

For an adult who constantly lives in a cool climate, to suddenly move briefly into a hot summer is a dream, but for a child, such an experience can be too difficult. Children in general are quite difficult to tolerate sudden changes in temperature, so the rapid transition "from winter to summer" is contraindicated for them.

True, the Black Sea coast does not provide such opportunities, but still pediatricians say that acclimatization of a child from Moscow and especially St. Petersburg will take up to ten days- at this time, it is necessary to carefully monitor the health of your child, avoid too long stay in the sun and monitor the state of the body's water balance.

In addition, exposure to an unfamiliar climate can exacerbate or highlight existing health problems. Before traveling to the resort, it is recommended to consult a doctor and clarify the likelihood that a long journey will give an unexpected unpleasant result. The fact is that too hot weather, for example, will have an extremely negative effect on children suffering from problems of the cardiovascular system if their homes are much cooler. A trip to the sea is also considered undesirable if an allergy is found in a child - again, in a particularly hot subtropical climate, more can be expected. more flowering plants, each of which represents a potential danger for the baby.

Overview of popular resorts on the coast from Anapa to Sochi

All the main Russian sea resorts, which gather the vast majority of domestic swimmers and sunbathers, are located on a stretch of coast about 400 kilometers long. As already mentioned, even the climatic conditions here differ significantly, not to mention the set of entertainment and attractions, so you should be more careful in choosing end point trips.

Anapa

This small town- good family resort. There is a huge amount of therapeutic mud, and in 2011 Anapa was even recognized as the best in the world. balneological resort. Local sand beach has a length of 40 kilometers, there are also pebble beaches, but there are fewer of them. Of the tourist attractions, thematic villages (African, Greek, Armenian), Dinosaur Park and Cypress Lake stand out.

It will appeal to those who love a quiet holiday. You can get there in any way: there is an airport (in the summer - a wide range of flights, the rest of the year - only Moscow), a railway station (year-round - Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk and Minsk, during the tourist season - several times more options) and a bus station.

Novorossiysk

The beach potential of Novorossiysk is relatively small - the presence of a large seaport polluting the water area. Officially, this city is not considered a resort, but it still receives thousands of tourists every year. Good beaches can be found in its vicinity - in Shirokaya Beam, Dry Shchel or Yuzhnaya Ozereevka.

The easiest way to get to the city is by train - in the summer, the city station receives more than two dozen pairs of trains from different corners European part of the Russian Federation, as well as from the Urals and Western Siberia. There is no own airport in Novorossiysk - if you travel by air, in the form destination choose neighboring Anapa or Gelendzhik.

Gelendzhik

Included in the TOP of the most children's resorts located on this coast. The infrastructure here is at a pretty good level, the nature is also very good, but there are relatively few really big attractions, so there is no insane influx of tourists. A truly quiet holiday can be found in the surrounding villages, where for little money you can stay almost alone with the sea, forest and mountains.

A characteristic feature is the predominantly pebbly nature of the beaches, but a sandy beach can also be found if desired.

In terms of accessibility, Gelendzhik is the exact opposite of Novorossiysk - there is no railway, but there is an airport, so the two cities seem to complement each other. Out of many major cities Russia can fly here without transfers.

Tuapse

Quite famous, but relatively small resort. Due to its size, the city is quite quiet. Here, as in Gelendzhik, there are neither too noisy entertainments, nor special attractions, nor an exorbitant influx of tourists, especially since the much more popular Sochi is relatively close.

Many visitors to Greater Tuapse come to the village of Dzhubga - there are many recreational facilities, plus good beaches made of sand and small pebbles.

Getting to Tuapse by plane is not very convenient, because each of the three nearest airports (Gelendzhik, Sochi, Krasnodar) is located more than 100 kilometers from the city, although Sochi airport runs suburban train. The same trains that go to Adler pass through Tuapse, but most visitors prefer to get to Sochi.

Sochi

Resort Big Sochi is the main seaside resort Russia. The famous Adler, perceived by many as a separate luxury resort, is just one of the districts of Sochi. In addition to high-class sandy beaches, the city attracts guests with its amazing infrastructure, pronounced Caucasian flavor and cuisine, the proximity of popular mountain resorts, where you can go on an excursion, as well as Olympic venues for the 2014 Games.

The swimming season here is from mid-May to October.

The local airport is second only to the three Moscow and St. Petersburg airports in terms of workload, serving dozens of flights from all over the country. Approximately the same situation - and with trains.

The resorts of Crimea are also attractive for families with children - first of all, Yalta, Feodosia, Evpatoria.

Here, on the southern coast, there are a lot of children's camps (including the famous Artek) and sanatoriums, there are convenient sandy beaches, and mountains nearby. The climate here is magnificent, the sea is clean, and the nature is bewitching, so just a walk around the area will appeal to both adults and children.

At the same time, getting here with children is quite inconvenient - there are no direct trains, there are not so many buses either. Almost the only available transport is air, because planes fly to Crimea from dozens of Russian airports, but they land in Simferopol, and from there to the sea - at least 60 kilometers. The situation will be corrected by a bridge under construction that will connect mainland Russia with the Crimea and will make the rest more accessible.

You can also consider Black Sea resorts other countries. A trip with children to the Black Sea in another country makes sense only if the documents have already been issued in advance for other purposes, and the child is already old enough to survive a really long trip. Russians most often choose Bulgaria (for example, the resort of Varna) and the Black Sea coast of Turkey.

Accommodation options with a small child: what to choose

Since it is the Black Sea coast of Russia that is the most popular destination rest with children with our fellow citizens, it is worth talking about it in more detail. Thanks to the huge number of visiting tourists, it boasts a proper level of infrastructure development for rental housing, which is presented in all possible forms. Coming here with very young children, you should carefully consider all the options for settling.

• The cheapest option- the private sector, which is available for choice even where there are no hotels - the locals never mind earning a little. Having rented a guest house, in terms of convenience, you will find yourself approximately at home - there will be no service, you will most likely have to wash and cook on your own, however, the child’s behavior will not irritate the neighbors, and noisy neighbors will not interfere with the baby’s sleep. When choosing such housing, please contact Special attention availability of amenities for children. The lack of a bathroom, shower or toilet in the house can be a serious problem for guests with small children. In addition, you will also have to entertain the child exclusively on your own.
• Family type boarding houses are good not only for the opportunity to heal, but also for a certain organization of free time. If this is a large institution, oriented, among other things, to the reception of families with children, various entertainment events for the smallest are probably provided here. Perhaps they will take no more than a couple of hours a day, but even this will cheer up the child, and the parents will be able to relax a bit, especially since such leisure is already included in the price of the tour.
• Hotels designed specifically for those who would like to just relax, while solving as few everyday problems as possible. When traveling with children, it is better to choose those where everything is already included in the price - they often offer a fairly good range of entertainment, including for children. If a particular hotel has animation, you can not worry that the baby will get bored, because specially trained people will entertain him throughout the day. The all-inclusive mode also includes meals - ask in advance if this hotel has a special children's menu. For kids, a great idea would be to choose a hotel with a pool - there are no waves, it's easier to learn to swim, and the water is not very cold.

Facilitate the choice of a place to stay such rental services as Booking and Ostrovok.

The main part of them is a general health plan. You can come here with the whole family, right on the spot to undergo a health examination, and slightly correct it. Such rest involves the supervision of a doctor, proper nutrition without junk food (as an option - with the use of mineral water), light wellness and healing procedures, but also a certain entertainment program with free time.

The schedule of the day is built in such a way that guests do not feel like patients, but feel like they are on vacation. Such establishments can be found in any major resort of the Russian Black Sea region, especially in Gelendzhik.

There are also specialized sanatoriums focused on the treatment of certain diseases. They usually come here with a doctor's referral. Most often, people come here to treat diseases of the respiratory system, or undergo recovery after recovery - the clean local air is very conducive to this. However, there are institutions in other areas, in particular, for orthopedic patients or children undergoing recovery from complex injuries.

Since the need for treatment may arise not only during the holidays, but also in the middle of the school year, some sanatoriums even organize their own classes, similar to school ones.

The best campsites and campgrounds

Not everyone needs first-class service - many people prefer to relax as "savages", moving away from civilization. At the same time, it is still not necessary to give up the basic amenities of the modern world.

You can pitch a tent in a special tent camp, where a shower and toilet are organized, in some places there is even a 24-hour security.

The advantage of such a holiday is greater unity with nature, even if there are not so few people around. This inexpensive way recall the romance of student youth. It should be borne in mind that such a calm, quiet vacation may not seem very interesting to small children, therefore it is suitable, apparently, only for teenagers.

Of course, on Black Sea coast there are quite a few such campsites - they are present in the picturesque and quiet surroundings of each relatively large resort. For example, the famous camping "Kubanets", located near Tuapse, involves living in tents, but there are even playgrounds and organized evening programs. Despite the seclusion of this place, it is located very close to the village, which allows you to dramatically change the type of recreation for one day.

A lot of campsites with everything you need are located in the vicinity of Gelendzhik - these are Sosny in Betta, Krinitsa in the village of the same name, juniper grove" in Kabardinka and " blue bay» near Gelendzhik itself. Campsites located in this part of the coast are distinguished by their special remoteness from the main ones. hiking trails, it is worth going here only if you have a good idea of ​​what awaits you there, and you are sure that this is what you want.

Put the words "children" and "rest" in one sentence, and you will certainly come to mind a long strip of pure sand, washed by calm blue waters warm and clean sea. Toddlers really love to spend hours on the beach building sandcastles, running in and out 10 times a minute into the sea, jumping over the waves and enjoying the mix of freedom, sun and ice cream. It's time to find out the top 10 beaches that can give a lot of fun, joy and pleasant memories that would be enough for the whole year ahead.

Cattolica, Emilia-Romagna, Italy

The beaches of the Adriatic coast of Italy have never been awarded the status of "best", good - and nothing more. However, in Lately the situation is starting to change. For example, cozy Cattolica is now considered one of the ideal options for families with children. Clear sea, gentle entry into the water and just an innumerable amount of entertainment for children throughout the coast and in the city itself are direct proof of this.

Elafonisi, Crete, Greece

The ideal scenery of this beach could very well be in your dreams ... Calm waters, fantastic sand, a miniature island opposite, which is so interesting to explore during sultry lunch hours, as well as the gentle sun, the happy eyes of a child, and the next vacation, ready to bet, you will spend exactly on Crete.

Elafonisi

Coronado Island, San Diego, California

Not just a beach, but a whole "water world", this perfect sandy coast near the Coronado Hotel in San Diego is the best place for families with children. Unlike all other beaches in San Diego, it is forbidden to drink alcohol here. Nearby noisy and dangerous water sports sports such as bikes are 15 miles down the coast. Don't think too long: jogging on the ferry for a perfect day on this beach with the little ones.

Bophut and Chaweng, Koh Samui, Thailand

Thailand boasts just a myriad of beautiful beaches, so it is absolutely impossible to choose the best here. But we'll try. Bophut Beach, which is 19 miles north of Chaweng, may well deserve this title, thanks to its perfect sand and gentle entry into the water. But still, it's probably too quiet for the kids. But Chaweng, which offers its vacationers delicious eateries, entertainment of all kinds and a lot of kids from all over the world to play together, deserves the status of " best beach for holidays with children.

Calvi, Corsica, France

The long sandy beach of Calvi, which gradually descends to amazing azure waters, good infrastructure and mass pretty towns around for midday excursions is what makes this beach perfect for families with kids.

Palolem, Goa, India

Unlike others popular beaches Goa, such as Benaulim, Colva, Calangute or Anjuna, the coast of Palolem is located in a small sheltered bay, thanks to which a calm and comfortable lagoon has sheltered here, which has no analogues from Kerala to Mumbai itself.

Luxurious sand, well-developed infrastructure, as well as many hotels and restaurants that are designed for the rest of family tourists are available.

Crandon Park Beach, Miami, USA

A huge long sandy beach in the form of a lagoon, calm waters, developed infrastructure and a lot of entertainment - for many years in a row, Miami has been steadfastly in the top 10 best resorts for families with kids.

St Georgios, Naxos island, Greece

Within walking distance from the miniature capital of the island of Naxos Chora is the beach of St. George - one of the best in all of Greece. And its azure, crystal clear waters make this place ideal for families with children. Naxos, like all the islands of the Cyclades, has a lot to offer (maybe hundreds) magnificent beaches for toddlers of all ages - from babies to teens - but this one remains a favorite year after year.

Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres, Mexico

Facing away from the harsh Caribbean winds, this beach offers perfectly calm seas for children of all ages. Isla Mujeres, located near the popular Mexican resort of Cancun, offers to leave the noisy hotel complexes on the mainland to enjoy the purest white sands on this island of peace, whose name translates in a very elegant way - "Isle of Women".

On the Black Sea, we rested in Anapa in September 2011 with two older children (at that time 1 year 2 years old and 3 years 2 years old), the Odyssey camp, Pionersky camp. And in 2012 in the Crimea, in August, for children aged 2 and 4, the Atelika-Tavrida settlement, Uglovoe village, Bakhchisaray district.

Advise quiet quiet place to not be too crowded to relax and heal the children. Are there such places on the Black Sea coast?
After Greece and Spain, I don’t want Anapa algae and sandy suspension in the water (

I'm afraid of flying with a 10-month-old baby, so I'm looking towards the Black Sea coast.

Thank you in advance!

"Almost everywhere rotovirus." Rotavirus is not almost, but everywhere on our coast. It all depends on your immunity. And hygiene.

Not too crowded - this is also not here. In the summer, especially the last 3-4 years, there are a lot of people everywhere. In Abkhazia, you can still find such corners of solitude, but here one of the two is either civilization, or "we are alone")))

See for yourself the prices. There are thousands of options. Personally, we choose for the summer either apartments with a kitchen or (most often) apartments for rent.

I also did not understand. By the way, I liked flying with a child under two years old much more than even now when she is seven. Yes, and you look at the plane - just the children of four, five, six years old are hooligans, and the little one sleeps peacefully)))
Yes, and what's the difference to fly 2.5 hours from Moscow to Sochi or 4-5 to Spain))

For me personally - a cleaner sea is closer to Abkhazia, the Imeretinka region.

With calling there - for an amateur. Stones.

Nataklip, Vera78 To a greater extent, it is not the flight itself that scares, but the airport, passport control, possible flight delays, night departure.
A few hours with a baby at the airport scare me more than a day on the train. Perhaps I'm not right.
We traveled by train with older children, there were no problems.

With calling there - for an amateur. Stones. Not so small. But the sea is not muddy.

You can also see small villages from Tuapse to Lazorevsky, maybe you will pick up something.

Recommend a quiet, peaceful place, not too crowded, to relax and improve children's health. Are there such places on the Black Sea coast?

If you are flying from Moscow or from the city where there is an airport, then there are no problems at all. Online registration and arriving at the airport an hour before departure will dispel all your fears. Flight delays can also be found online.
But the unsanitary conditions of trains generally horrifies me. Small child no matter how you look after him, he will still grab something then put his hands in his mouth ... oh no no no. I'm only for the plane with all my hands and feet, if possible, only flight)))

You are wrong about the airport and trains. Break your stereotypes. And you will like it)))

I watch the beginning of the season so that the water is cleaner. But I would like a bathable sea for children. And two children's birthdays on June 30 / July 3 to celebrate at sea)

Read about rotavirus prophylaxis, you can give drugs to older people to support the immune system, and hygiene, hygiene, hygiene ...

Hygiene, of course, must be observed, but you should not rely on it. The main one is immunity. And no matter how you observe hygiene, if there are infected people nearby, then the disease cannot be avoided. If the summer is not very hot, then during the specified periods of rest you can not be afraid of infection. It all starts when the water temperature in the sea is above 25 degrees.

Ts, it also takes us 2-3 hours to get to the nearest airport.
And it's still easier to fly than a train.
And yes, much cleaner.

About our south.
Were this year in July (the demon beguiled) with an 11 month old child in the Sochi region.
We flew to Sochi. very quickly. we just took off, slept in by plane - already and landing.
But people in July!!!
I vowed to visit us in the south during the season.

It is not necessary in the season with the baby to us at sea!
This is IMHO masochism.

Holidays with a child 2+ years in September

We are planning a vacation with the family for September 2017, from the date of 4-5. The child will be 2 years 3 months old), we are going from Tatarstan by car, 2100-2200 km. I struggle with choosing a place to stay. The biggest torment is the reluctance to catch a thread of rotovirus on the first vacation and ruin it. Therefore, my assumptions, we don’t need a bay, so that there is no stagnant water and rotting of algae, there are not a lot of people / children, but still there was some kind of infrastructure to walk and eat, well, a children’s menu is desirable.
Adult colleagues, without children, rested in Olginka, praise the guest house, its dining room, that they say there is a children's menu. But looking at the map, I was alerted by the shape of the coastline, like a bay.
Of course, I understand that in September it’s not so hot anymore, the sea may not bloom so much and bacteria breed less, there are fewer children, etc. But there are fears and I want to find a place with minimal risk for the child)
May be nearby wild beaches, where it will be nice to drive a car (having rested in Greece 3 years ago, I rented a car, and my wife and I went to such quiet places)
