She knows absolutely everything about where to go to rest with children, and today she shares her secrets with our readers.

Yulia Novosad is an entrepreneur, tourism expert, founder of the @baby_travel_club travel agency, author and coach of educational projects in the field of tourism, mother of two children.

I fly often, to different places and will always find positive moments. But sometimes this thrill surrounds you, and sometimes you need to meticulously look for it in the surrounding reality. And what's more interesting: for everyone, these advantages are different.

Working with clients, I determine in 2 minutes of conversation where they will be good. But still, the average temperature exists! Therefore, not my personal, but professional TOP places where hundreds of my clients with children are universally HO-RO-SHO!

Turkey

No matter how trite it may sound. Do you know why planes fly to Turkey from all major cities, from where there are no more international flights at all? Demand creates supply. And the main factor in choosing Turkey is a wide hotel base of the resort format with crazy infrastructure for children.

In tenerife, in the resort area of the south, I can count on the fingers of one hand the restaurants with a children's room. In Turkey, in terms of price / quality ratio, we get a very advantageous option. Let's add a long beach season too!

But for a good holiday in Turkey, you need a scrupulous choice of hotel. Stardom, prefixes to hotels such as "luxury", "palace", etc. do not mean anything. There are practically no service standards, all types of security (including epidemiological). Therefore, I am a vivid opponent of budgetary Turkey.

You can take 2 * in Switzerland without looking, but consider 5 * in Turkey under a magnifying glass. We advise you to take only fives of proven high quality, for a budget vacation, oddly enough, it is better to go to the civilized countries of Europe!

Cyprus

He combined the qualities we love: a facilitated visa regime, which is more likely to be perceived by tourists as "visa-free", 350 sunny days, a long season, beaches with fine white sand, azure sea and blue flags, Greek Orthodox culture and security.

In Cyprus, you can equally well relax in budget apart-hotels and in quality resorts, because all the beaches are public. The infrastructure is aimed at tourists with children, everything is adapted for strollers, a lot of entertainment.

We recommend booking hotels in the Ayia Napa-Protaras region, as there are the most suitable beaches with a gentle entrance, without pebbles and waves. But be careful with holidays in July and August - it is hot in Cyprus at this time, the air reaches 40, and the sea is 30, and it does not cool at all.

Dominican Republic and Mexico

Winter destinations that we often call "Turkey for Americans". Only hotels are even bigger, the service is even better, the food is even more varied! Add a beach with white sand, a warm and gentle Caribbean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, you have to pay for this!

Yes, a long flight is 12-13 hours, the time difference with Moscow is 6-7 hours. It should be borne in mind that these factors complicate the stay, and we recommend a duration of at least 12-14 nights. And all this together comes out in a fairly high check.

Majorca

The Spanish island is famous for its gorgeous white sand beaches, beautiful landscapes and the Spanish culture loved by many. The downside is the rather high price for hotels. Everyone loves Mallorca, and the hoteliers have learned it well. The food in Spanish hotels is very high quality, good 4s offer seafood dishes, even 3 of them will provide you with a selection of cheeses, sausages, and specialty paella!

Greece

Greece has retained the charm of simple village life, originality, nature, but has acquired luxury hotels on a variety of coasts with beaches for every taste. Greece is close to Cyprus, but requires a Schengen visa, but the hotel base in Greece is much stronger! From chic fives to simple family-run but very soulful hotels in olive groves.

Alps

Why are we all about summer? Alpine resorts in winter are an excellent opportunity for recreation without changing the climate. Children from 2-3 years old can be sent to specialized ski schools, where they will be put on skiing while their parents are resting. There are great hotels like Club Med, which have great entertainment and clubs for the kids. Let's add a combination with thermal springs, and the ability to drive your car for aerophobes. And how beautiful it is!

Maldives

Year-round destination, where the incredible original nature has been preserved, which is amazing. It is for a fairy tale that tourists fly there. But I want to note that among other destinations that are "similar" to the Maldives (Mauritius, Seychelles, etc.), this direction is more accessible in terms of transport - a direct flight from Moscow takes 8-9 hours! And yes, this is the best Asia!

Canary Islands

The southernmost point of Europe, where you actually come in winter in summer, Central Russian summer in June. Sun, Atlantic, nature, with European guarantees, Spanish culture. Excellent hotel facilities, world-class amusement parks for children and a direct flight from Moscow for 7 hours all year round.

Sardinia

Sardinia is famous for its snow-white beaches of fabulous beauty. The Italian island, loved by billionaires, is bad only because the price is much higher than the European average, and the service is quite mediocre. Sardis are long-livers of Europe, they do not rush, do not strain and do not worry. Sardinia is increasing the flow of tourists from Russia every year, and this is no coincidence. It's cool, mesmerizing cool there!

Cruises

Yes, despite the prevailing fear, this is an unforgettable vacation. Modern ships are equipped with everything for children: children's clubs, water slides, animation, gorgeous food and an unforgettable kaleidoscope of impressions from visiting the most beautiful places in the world. I recommend that you definitely try it!
