Where is the best place to fly in June? Where is the best place to go on vacation with a child? Cruises are worth checking out

Cruise ship "Nikolai Bauman"

Cruises along and, as a rule, are shorter than the Mediterranean ones, but no less intense.

River cruises will be no less impressive - especially at the beginning of summer, when the banks of deep rivers are lushly framed by flowering trees and meadows. You can go on a river cruise along the Volga, and along the Danube, Dnieper, Rhine or Vistula. During the cruise you will pass through cozy cities along the rivers. interesting excursions.

Festivals and holidays

In June, the season of summer music festivals opens in Europe and Scandinavia - and you can combine educational relaxation with visiting major events. The bulk of festivals are concentrated in,

Hello, friends! The long-awaited summer and school holidays are coming soon. Many of us have already taken care of our summer vacation and booked the best options. The main buyers of early booking tours are families with children. And it’s clear why: you can choose the best places, and even with good discounts.

Some statistics. According to the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (based on booking requests received since the beginning of the year), the bulk of Russian tourists will relax this summer on the beaches of Turkey, Greece and Spain. Still popular destinations family vacation Bulgaria and Croatia remain, and among the destinations excursion holiday Italy is in the lead.

The Oktogo hotel booking service provides the following data (also based on early booking results): last summer, the list of leaders included Spain, Portugal and Greece, Italy, Germany and France, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Estonia and Finland. The most popular Russian cities are St. Petersburg, Moscow, Sochi, Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod.

Last year's statistics (September survey All-Russian Center studying public opinion) indicates that of the total number of respondents surveyed, 23% went on tours. Of these, only 4% went abroad, 16% vacationed on the Black Sea coast and in other cities of Russia. The same trend towards an increase in the number of people wishing to holiday in their own country continues this year.

So how can you relax in the summer with children?

What is there to think about? Of course, this is the sea, the sun, beach holidays around the world and fun entertainment. All that remains is to determine best destinations for family holidays. And if a good beach holiday was guaranteed mainly in distant overseas countries and in a couple of countries nearby, then in the summer the choice is practically unlimited.

Have you ever wondered how a family chooses a vacation spot? It seems to me that in our realities, the main say is with the parents, because the choice is most often determined by the financial capabilities of the family.

But in the UK, things are completely different. The British website HomeAway conducted a survey on who in the family most often decides where to go and what to do on vacation. Interesting statistics: in most cases (65% of British children), this decision is made not by adults, but by their children. I think their parents are not very upset about this.

The priorities of Russian tourists do not change so quickly. And although most tour operators recognize the resorts of Turkey, Greece and Spain as this year's favorites, Egypt and Thailand are also not giving up their positions.

Holidays with children in Abkhazia

An attractive and not very expensive destination for a summer family holiday. Prices for vacations have remained virtually unchanged compared to last year or have increased quite slightly in some health resorts. And you can get there without any problems: by train, by plane or by private car.

Relaxing at home

We often strive to vacation abroad. And there is a completely reasonable explanation for this. And here is not only a desire to visit other countries and discover new and unknown things, but also quite pragmatic things: after all, prices are often lower there, and the level of tourist service is higher.

And yet, it’s a shame that many of us, having visited overseas resorts more than once, have never left the borders of our city. And believe me, there is a lot to see in our country.

Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sergiev Posad, Kostroma, Veliky Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Baikal, Karelia - these are just the most popular routes for inquisitive children.

And the new tourist route “Fairytale Map of Russia” is an opportunity to introduce children to the habitats of all Russian epic heroes and fairy tale characters.

Today, 44 tourist “magnets” have already appeared on the fabulous map of Russia: in Rostov - Alyosha Popovich and the Frog Princess, in Moscow and, in the Tver region - Koschey the Immortal, in Pereslavl-Zalessky - Tsar Berendey, . And the Yaroslavl region is a leader in “fairytale tourism”: Vodyanoy and Baba Yaga, Emelya and Chicken Ryaba, and the bear Toptygin settled here.

Krasnodar region

Demand for holidays Krasnodar region, according to the Ministry of Resorts and Tourism of this region, is growing every year.

The city is well prepared for the season: this summer there will be more than 200 beaches equipped for comfortable and safe swimming.

There would be even more people wishing to relax in Sochi, but our tourists are somewhat deterred from vacationing in this city by expensive air tickets and an insufficient number of direct flights from Russian cities to Sochi (this year their number is 30). Therefore, many passengers have to get to the resort with transfers through Moscow.

Find a tour in Sochi

In addition to Sochi, in the Krasnodar Territory tourists will find the resorts of Tuapse, Gelendzhik and. They also have something to offer vacationers: 190 sanatoriums, many of which have balneological and mud departments, drinking pump rooms mineral water. For children there are 19 specialized year-round sanatoriums.

Those who find themselves in Gelendzhik in the first week of June will be in for a surprise. The city will welcome summer with a traditional large-scale and memorable carnival. This is a fun colorful show in which fairy-tale heroes and huge dolls amuse the people and organize a lot of entertainment for children.

Ecotourism in summer in Russia

This area of ​​holidays with children abroad has long been developed and is very popular. Interest in rural recreation among Russians is also growing. The idea of ​​spending the summer with your child outdoors on an eco-farm is, in my opinion, a wonderful idea.

This is an opportunity to relax with the whole family in the village or send grandparents and grandchildren to breathe fresh air, drink fresh milk, swim in the village river, fish at dawn.

And if in such places there is a program for recreation and entertainment for children, for example, mini-zoos, horse riding lessons - what more could you ask for? In addition, with such a vacation the risk of acclimatization is minimal.

And it successfully complements the idea of ​​environmental and health-improving children's recreation in nature.

In short, there is plenty to choose from. Have a nice holiday!

June in Bulgaria is a good time in terms of the cost of travel packages. The downside is the rare rainy days, and the upside is that the beaches are not crowded with vacationers.

Where you shouldn't go in June

If you really want something exotic, certain areas of Thailand may be suitable for a holiday in June, but the western part of Thailand is subject to storms and strong wind, so June is not the best best time to relax here.

A June holiday in Croatia can be ruined by the piercing wind, so it is better to go here from the beginning of July.

The Maldives offers a controversial holiday in June. Firstly, this is the rainy season here.

In addition to a beach holiday, in June you should not ignore the excursion offers. Bus tours in European cities in the first summer month - one of the most interesting and fun options relax.

The season is just beginning in June, and not all seas in the Northern Hemisphere have yet warmed up to comfortable temperature. However, some tourists need the water to be no colder than 25 degrees, while others are happy to dive at +20. Specialists from the Level.Travel service have compiled a list of resorts where you can already swim in the first month of summer.

Abkhazia: Black Sea coast

Located closest to Russia Black Sea coast Abkhazia. Despite the fact that in this region the Black Sea warms up the fastest, the water in June is not yet as warm as, for example, in Mediterranean resorts - only 20 degrees. However, many Russians, especially residents of the north, are ready to swim for a long time even at this temperature.

The length of the country's sea coast is a total of 400 kilometers. The most developed resort in Abkhazia is Gagra; it is here, on a 50-kilometer stretch, that the best pebble and sand-pebble beaches are located. The surrounding area has many natural attractions and abundant vegetation. However, Gagra is still chosen by amateurs active rest, but families with children prefer the famous climatic Caucasian resort of Pitsunda. The cape, jutting out into the sea, maintains a unique microclimate. In addition, this is where the only sandy beach in the country is located, more than 7 kilometers long. When choosing a tour to Abkhazia, you should carefully study the map and try to find a hotel away from the mouths of rivers and streams. The fact is that they carry icy fresh water, and the sea next to them may be colder than in other places.

Cost of a week's tour to Abkhazia starts from 14,000 rubles per person with flights and accommodation.

Crete: colorful sands

From European countries relatively warm sea in June, only Greece can boast. And not all regions of this country, but only the southernmost ones. Thus, the water off the coast of Crete warms up to 22 degrees. This season, Greece, despite paying in euros, offers Russian tourists good prices, however, to be on the shores of Hellas, you need to have a Schengen visa.

Crete has both pebble and sandy beaches, and there are also rocky descents into the water. They are scattered throughout the island, so when choosing a hotel, you should ask what the coastline is like in this place. To find a suitable hotel option, you can use the Level.Travel service option, which allows you to select offers with pebble or sandy beaches. There are several places in Crete that are considered the best for families with children. Firstly, there is Agia Marina - a sandy beach with shallow waters, surrounded by pine forests. Secondly, Makriyalos is also a sandy beach with developed infrastructure, located 30 kilometers from the town of Ierapetra. And Frangokastello is a resort that is located next to the Venetian castle, where, according to legend, there are ghosts. By the way, this place has both pebble and sandy beaches. Romantics should go to the small island of Elafonisi, 75 kilometers from the city of Chania. You can get to the island from the shore on foot through shallow water - you will have to walk about 200 meters. But on the island itself, tourists will find beaches with pink sand.

Cost of a week's tour to Greece starts from 19,000 rubles per person with flights and accommodation.

Cyprus: secluded coves

The island of Cyprus is perfect option for those who do not intend to apply for a Schengen visa, but at the same time want to get European-level comfort with the sun, like in Turkey or Egypt. The sea off the coast of Aphrodite Island warms up to 23 degrees in early June, and even small children enjoy swimming in it. The sun will be so hot that you will have to hide from it in the shade so as not to get burned. However, when booking a trip to Cyprus, you should choose your resort and beach more carefully. For example, it is not recommended to travel to Ayia Napa with children - this is a place for young people who prefer noisy discos until the morning. Paphos is quite suitable for a family holiday, but in this region there are rocky slopes to the sea, although there are also many lagoons with ideal sandy and pebble beaches. To those who love green nature, it is worth going to Polis - there are many springs in this place fresh water, and thanks to this there is more vegetation than in other areas of Cyprus.

In the local shallow waters, the sea warms up faster, so both children and adults will be able to splash around to their heart's content for the summer ahead.

Tunisia: African heat

Situated in northern Africa, Tunisia has good reason to boast some of the best beaches. Mediterranean Sea. The local snow-white sand in its structure resembles that for which tourists go to the Maldives. However, the flight to Tunisia is much closer, and the trip is much cheaper. June is the optimal time to travel to this country. The water in the sea this month is already warming up to 24 degrees, but there is no invasion of tourists as in the high season - in July or August. Therefore on best beaches you won’t have to borrow sun loungers and umbrellas in the morning, as many tourists, not only Russians, but also Europeans, like to do. However, when booking a tour to Tunisia, it is worth reading the descriptions of certain resorts. For example, the beaches of Djerba, Hammamet and Mahdia are considered the best - where tourists can enjoy the finest sand and azure sea. But if you are planning to go on holiday with children, Monastir is a better choice. The difference between its beaches is the shallow water, which extends far into the sea. Thanks to this feature, the resort is chosen for family holidays. But the beaches of Sousse should be booked last - they are not the cleanest in Tunisia, and there are always a lot of noisy companies on them, so, as a rule, those who like to dance until dawn come here.

Cost of a week's tour to Tunisia starts from 29,000 rubles per person with flights and accommodation.

Israel: the land of three seas

The hottest month in June is in the Mediterranean Sea - in Israel. In the first month of summer, the water warms up to at least 25 degrees, and sometimes even warmer. Israel, although a small country, is washed by the waters of three seas at once - the Mediterranean, the Red and the Dead. Of course, the Dead Sea is more suitable not for permanent recreation, but for one-day health tours. But on the other two seas you can spend a full vacation. The main Israeli resorts are located on the Mediterranean coast, which is 200 kilometers long. The most famous are Tel Aviv, Acre, Netanya, Haifa, Ashkelon, Ashdod and Herzliya.
