Sea tours with children in summer. Danger from marine inhabitants of the Black Sea. Respectable rest by the sea in Yalta
Travel is wonderful. But not cheap. Especially if the family consists of several people, including a couple of grown children. However, there are ways to save money and still have a great time. Tips from an experienced traveler and mothers two children of Ksenia Chesnokova.
1. Independently or on a tour
If the purpose of the vacation is to spend a couple of weeks at sea, for example, sometimes you should choose a package tour. A burning tour with a flight can be especially profitable charter flight(for example, this applies to Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus).
If you want to spend a month or more abroad, the tour will become prohibitively expensive and inconvenient: it is better to rent a house or apartment with children, and buy tickets in advance, waiting for the promotion of one of the airlines flying in the chosen direction (it is better to buy tickets 2-4 months before departure especially when it comes to summer.
If you dream of an active holiday with a lot of movement, then the tour here is only suitable for an individual one, which will cost a completely uninteresting amount - it will be cheaper to organize everything on your own.
2. Choice of accommodation
With a child, it is very convenient to stay where there is a kitchen. You can look for housing of this type, for example, on the websites http://www.airbnb.ru/ or http://www.homelidays.co.uk/. The cost of private housing rented for a period of a week or more will be lower or equal to the cost hotel room, but the comfort will be much higher.
You can choose a hotel of lower star rating. Sometimes, when you find yourself in a hotel where any stars are completely absent, you look at the sea surface from your personal balustrade, swaying in a wicker rocking chair and being reflected in several mirrors, and you understand that there is almost no difference in the setting and surroundings, but in price just won five times. One popular resource for finding guest-rated hotels is http://www.hotelscombined.com.
You can save the most by staying in a hostel (search, for example, on http://www.hostelworld.com/). This is a simple version of the hotel, often guests share a room with strangers (such a room where beds are rented separately is called a "dormitory" or simply "dorm"). Of course, this option will not work with a child. However, you can rent an entire room for a family (for example, a "dorm" for 4 or 6 beds): in France and Germany, you can find very decent options where you pay 13-15 euros for one bed. However, you need to carefully read whether there is a toilet in the room, as well as about beds: not everyone likes two-story ones. It is highly likely that the hostel will have a kitchen at your disposal.
Another "extreme" option is the Couchsurfing system. You stay completely free of charge visiting strangers. Each member of the system in the profile has an item "is it ready to receive guests with children", and the conditions are also described in detail: a separate room, a separate bed, and so on.
For nature lovers, especially if they travel by car, there are campsites. They may have hot showers and a shared kitchen on site. Especially handy with kids and pets that just run around on the fresh air while adults go about their business.
When arriving somewhere where you have a hotel room booked, find out in advance if the transfer from the airport / train station is included in the price. This can make life easier and save money, especially considering that taxi drivers and scammers are very active at train stations.
Housing is cheaper on the outskirts. With a child, this can be convenient because it is also quieter and cleaner than in the city center. On the outskirts and parking is cheaper (if you have your own transport).
Booking a hotel in advance, you can get a free "bonus" - breakfast or a larger room.
3. Transport
Airplane
Look for air tickets first on aggregators (a system that shows offers from many agencies) such as aviasales.ru, skyscanner.net, then compare the price of the flight you like with the cost on the airline's website. It is often cheaper to buy from the airline, but there are discounts from agents.
Buy tickets for regular flights in a few months (for the New Year it is better already in March), and for charters - almost on the eve of departure (if vacation dates and nerves allow).
Flights with transfers are usually cheaper than direct flights. But they also have inconveniences: the likelihood of flight delays increases, you need to wait for a flight with children at the airport for some time. However, if you choose flights so that the difference between them is minimal and you can be sure that there is a playground in transit zone, everything may not be scary at all.
Up to 2 years old, a flight for an infant costs almost nothing (unless you decide to take a separate seat for him). If you fly out before the second birthday of the child, and arrive after, many airlines will also calculate both flights at the price of "up to two years" - this point needs to be checked separately with the chosen company.
You can fly with a discount company. Discounters or low-cost airlines are airlines offering the most low prices with a minimum of additional services: the price does not initially include food, insurance, luggage, this is purchased separately - if you want. Where free food is not allowed, it is better to order it in advance with your ticket: lunch on the plane will cost more, and often the choice will be very small.
When choosing a flight, "play" with dates: the difference in price for a flight on Saturday and Monday, for example, can be significant. Try looking at a few options. Well, if the search engine immediately looks for the cheapest tickets in the range of several days from the specified date.
Train
Not uncommon in civilized countries travel tickets on trains (for one or more people).
For example, in Germany, with a weekend ticket (Wochenendticket) for 40 €, five people can travel for a day in any direction on trains that are not of the fastest class. In the same Germany, there are also regional tickets: also for five, 21 € for all, valid 24 hours a day on weekdays within the same federal state.
4. Food
When ordering unfamiliar food, you never know if your child will eat it. You can order meals for children first. If they are not, take something else for them, and taste what you ordered yourself. Or, finding out that the portions are huge, it will be possible to divide the order for everyone. You can (almost) always order something else.
Take a food storage container with you. Half-eaten pasta or French fries can serve as a great afternoon snack in a couple of hours, when the baby suddenly realizes that he forgot to eat during lunch.
Food courts (especially in countries South-East Asia) offer a wide variety of dishes. Unlike in Moscow, Asian food courts will offer not so much fast food as soups, chicken and rice suitable for children, as well as fruit salads. And the prices will be lower than in a restaurant (it’s not so insulting if the child doesn’t eat half of the ordered).
If you have a kitchen in your room, it is convenient to buy food in the supermarket. At least once a day, it's nice to eat muesli with yogurt or cook porridge at home, especially if you have children who find it difficult to concentrate on eating in a noisy place in public.
In supermarkets in many countries (both European and Asian) you can buy ready-made food. Moreover, you can gradually get used to the store’s routine: by the evening, there are often very pleasant discounts for various goods that you won’t sell the next day - say, cakes or bread.
When staying in modest hotels, don't count on a kettle in the room. But you can take a very small kettle with you and calmly drink tea in the evenings, not being afraid to leave sleeping children in the room and saving money that will be charged for a cup of tea in the restaurant opposite.
5. Entertainment
Museums. Tickets to museums are family (for several people) or including visits to several points - it turns out, as it were, a discount for wholesale. For example, with the London Pass card you can visit about 55 different attractions in London (cost: from £ 50 to £ 100 for 1-6 days). And with the Paris Museum Pass in Paris, you will be able to visit 60 museums for free, and even skip the line. Valid for 2, 4 or 6 days, the cost, respectively, is 39€, 54€ or 69€. There are also days on which museums can be visited for free (for example, on the first Sunday of the month - the Louvre).
Pools. In winter resorts are free or with a discount on ski passes. And cheaper on weekdays.
Game rooms. Cheap or free at local malls.
- Traveling out of season is a big savings. As well as traveling to a country not yet "discovered" by a mass tourist.
- If you are planning excursions, organize and pay cheaper on the spot. In advance on the Internet, everything will turn out to be only an extra charge to the travel agent.
- Get insurance! The cost of treatment will always exceed the cost of insurance. If it is not needed, you can just breathe a sigh of relief.
- When booking and buying anything anywhere, compare multiple offers. Don't jump on the first one that comes along.
- Call home via Skype. If you are traveling with a company, take a walkie-talkie - save on telephone conversations. It is especially convenient to talk on it when traveling by several cars. And buy a local sim card.
- And one more thing: the less useless things you buy, the easier it will be to carry your suitcase to a taxi. Buy your child an extra fruit salad.

How long does it take to complete all the paperwork?
This is not the first time we have rented a car. Very convenient and inexpensive.
IN visa-free country you will not be asked for money for a visa, as well as for the services of a visa center.
But each country has its own restrictions on the length of stay! This must be remembered!
useful and everything
To bookmarks! Very good article. We go on vacation often and usually with children.
Great article, I will definitely use the tips. I agree about the kitchen, it is better with a child when it is at the place of residence. When buying food, it is not clear where and of what quality, it is not surprising not only to poison the child, but also to poison yourself.
Awesome article!
It seems to me that you can earn good money by simply buying less sweets for your child. Because he has no measure, he wants everything and wants something tasty, and sometimes not at all useful. need to follow this.

look at the health-treatment center "Northern" (This is Zaozernoe "
I understand that it’s not showy, but the direction from the Moscow professor of a cool clinic was this: either Evpatoria or Anapa. There are 3 in one: sea air, mountain, steppe forbs, sand, shallow warm sea. It's called children's climatic resort.

The agency will definitely be cheaper now. Go to Budva or Becici and from there on all excursions (lakes, Bay of Kotor, Cetinje, Dubrovnik). Only in August in Montenegro there will be a herring on the beach. The coast in August cannot cope with the influx of tourists - the bins are already full by lunchtime, there are traffic jams on the roads, and there is a flea market on the beach. If you don’t believe me, look at the link for a photo of the beach before September 1, when most of the tourists have already left.
Better go to Croatia: in Porec there is a wonderful complex Zelena Laguna - many hotels and entertainment in one place. For young people it is better not to come up with!
late you realized it, we bought tickets in March for September, now there are no more cheap and direct transfers

this year, on the recommendation of neighbors who have been doing this for the 3rd year, we are renting an apartment in Antalya. We are a group of 6 adults + 3 children. The price of the issue is 50,000 per month!!! (we have far from the most budget apartments) Near a supermarket, a clinic, a market with vegetables, fruits, fish. Sea 450 m. Direct flight tickets by Turkish Airlines 10,000 rubles per adult.
It's a matter of habit, I guess :)
I personally went with the baby for the first week. There are over 100 children in the camp. There was another Russian girl. those. as much as the friend in the thread below spent on two children in 4 weeks. However, your vacation turned out to be not so negative.
Discussion
I will not name the school where my son has been going for 2 years (from the age of 10), because. already at the end of January, the quota for Russian children was filled, so it is unlikely that it will be possible to send a child there. But still: they were engaged in sending them on their own. In January, an email mail to the school, upon receipt of an answer and details - an advance payment of 500 pounds, a week after that - a letter arrives at the home address, through which a visa is calmly issued.
The whole program for 3 weeks - 2 thousand pounds + A / tickets (children under 12 years old should order tickets with accompaniment (a small additional fee, Aeroflot and British have a service), but the child will definitely be handed over to escorts from the school) + small pocket expenses (the school recommends 50 pounds per week - for sweets and other small joys of life). Language - every day 3 lessons in a group, depending on the level. A daily circle is obligatory (and there are many of them, from riding to making a newspaper) and every week the circle changes. Additional fee not required. Entertainment is varied: obligatory 2 big excursions per week (London, museums, Cambridge, local towns, but the excursion program was different both times), as well as daily entertainment (at the request of the child): water park, laser shooters, bowling. You can not go, but play football, or swim in the pool, or sit in the internet. But - children under constant supervision. There was 1 more Russian girl in the group, although there were naturally compatriots in the camp, and there was also enough communication in Russian ... Accommodation for 2, and they lodge with a child from another country. Nutrition - well, he didn’t lose weight, he says that there were both meat and fruits. Laundry - once a week, no additional payment is required. The result is a good rest, teachers in the special school say that the progress is obvious. As far as I know, there are many such schools, but they do not distribute their services through networks.
Friend's experience. Summer 2008. England, 3 weeks.
http://exsportise.co-.uk/ (link is also below).
Location: Clayesmore.
Purpose of trip: English plus horseback riding.
The child has a goal: my horse (my mother) has English.
Another goal is additional socialization in a foreign society with a different culture.
At first I analyzed the Internet myself, as usual.
Then I found out about the structure that provides intermediary services (debits from the camp, scores days, pays, etc.) - this is only because the camp did not respond to my letter.
The structure took 150 euros for help, now 200.
All the prices are original camp prices, plus I myself found them on their website about discounts and forced the structure to knock them out for me.
I personally went with the baby for the first week.
There are over 100 children in the camp.
There was another Russian girl.
In general, I am satisfied, but there was little sport compared to the declared watch.
The total cost is about 5-6 thousand pounds. 10/28/2005 09:37:19, Lindaa

9 Thailand
Thailand, contrary to popular belief, is suitable for recreation not only for adults, but also for children. Not Bangkok, of course, and hardly Pattaya ... But on most of the islands of Thailand, you and your child are waiting for excellent beaches, warm clear sea and low prices. We recommend Krabi, Ao Nang, Phuket, Koh Chang, Koh Samet, Koh Phangan and other islands... But Koh Samui is the best place for families with children! On Koh Samui season rain is minimal, moreover, recently direct charter flights from Russia began to fly to Koh Samui.
In Thailand it is very good and popular in Lately winter, and children can completely replace winter with 2-3 months of summer ... Our winter in Thailand once again coincides with a hot beach season no rain (November to March). However, during short trips, such a sharp change in climate is not always good for the baby. Therefore, the best time to travel with a child to almost all resorts in Thailand: March and April. Exception: Koh Samui! You can go to Koh Samui from April to September! At this time, the average air temperature during the day/night is +31/+23, water: +28, and precipitation is minimal. May to October is the so-called rainy season on most of the islands. And on Koh Samui the rainy season is only in October and November.
Nuances. When traveling with a child to Thailand, consider the length of the road and the remoteness of the islands from the main Bangkok airport, as well as the differences in the rainy seasons of different regions of Thailand.
How to get there. A direct flight to Thailand lasts about 10 hours.
Flight and transfer:
The best time to travel with a child to the Maldives: March and April. During this season, the average day/night temperature is +31/+26, water: +29, and precipitation is minimal. May to November is the so-called rainy season.

Depending on the currents and winds, the beach and coastal water can be very littered with algae, branches, leaves... Stones and corals can appear on the seabed instead of white sand... Study all these questions when choosing a hotel! How to get there. A direct flight to the Maldives takes about 9 hours. Flight and transfer:

Summer is the best time for a seaside holiday in our country. Undoubtedly, the best and high-quality resorts are located on the Black Sea coast, where, in fact, vacationers come to rest. We also go there to find out where it is better to relax on the Black Sea in Russia. Do it inexpensively and get the most out of it. Yes, yes, now the majority of those reading these lines began to smile, because it is unrealistic - to relax in Russia cheaply, and even with high quality. No - this is a reality and then we will tell you about everything. We will not be disingenuous if we say that, in terms of its potential, the Black Sea is the best and most beautiful place in the world for recreation. After all, only here are large spacious beaches made of sand, pebbles and stones. Only here are mountains of incredible beauty, on which various forests grow: pine, spruce, oak, birch. Only on our coast, right next to the sea, are beautiful and clean lakes, large and small waterfalls. Only here are animals and birds that cannot be seen anywhere else. Only here ... no, it's better to come yourself and see everything with your own eyes. Olginka - there is no better place in the world! Many tourists vacationed in Tuapse, and they did not even know that literally 30 minutes away is a beautiful and environmentally friendly village - Olginka. This amazing place, where only two thousand inhabitants live, and more than a hundred tourists rest annually. From year to year, those who rested here earlier return here. They like a small cozy village. I like nature, which gets better every year. The village is located in such a way that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides of the land, and the sea on the fourth side. Trees grow on the mountains, hundreds of trails are laid out so that tourists can walk, climb to the top and enjoy the scenery. Kabardinka is a resort in the bay. There is another one on the Black Sea big resort- Gelendzhik. And next to it in a small bay is the village of Kabardinka. This is a beautiful place and it is a pleasure to relax here. The indisputable advantage of Kabardinka is that the resort is located in the bay. This means that almost no wind blows here, the water in the sea is warmer than in the open sea. The town itself is not very big, but cozy and beautiful. There is a nice promenade, a gorgeous beach, stunning fountains. And there is also an exact copy of the Eiffel Tower, which is illuminated by lights at night. Divnomorskoye - "fake Gelendzhik". Divnomorskoye village is located 12 kilometers from the big Gelendzhik. A long time ago it was called "fake Gelendzhik", as the invaders sailing by sea mistook the night lights of Divnomorskoye for the big Gelendzhik. They landed on the shore, fought, and then lost once when an army of defenders attacked them from a big city. The modern village of Divnomorskoye is a pearl among all resorts. The wide and long beach allows thousands of tourists to relax on the seashore at the same time. The beach has sun loungers, umbrellas, changing cabins and showers. Here you can have a bite to eat in a cafe, drink drinks in a bar and listen to music. The long embankment is completely tiled. In the evenings and nights, lamps burn along its entire length and illuminate the entire path. Many tourists, arriving in the village, do not rent a hotel or a house, climb the mountains, put up tents there and relax in this way.
