Family holiday in the Crimea with kids from 0 to 3 years old
Most of all questions and concerns related to summer rest, arises from parents of children under 3 years old. It is understandable - a trip with a small child has its own specifics. First, the crumb will take time to acclimatize, which at this age, usually takes from 5 days to 2 weeks. Therefore, in order for the child to get used to and benefit from the sea and the sun, it is necessary to go for a rest for at least 3 weeks. Secondly, when choosing a place of rest with a baby, comfort and nutrition play a big role: the availability of a children's menu or the ability to cook, shower and toilet in the room, the proximity of the market and the medical center. Third, at this age, many pediatricians do not recommend prolonged exposure to the sun. Therefore, the beach should be such a staging post in the walk: they left in the morning for fresh air, went to the beach, a couple of times plunged and back, away from direct sunlight. Therefore, housing should be sought very close to the sea in order to be able to often come ashore and breathe the sea air.
Considering all the above factors, the most optimal options for families with toddlers are sanatoria and the private sector. Among the advantages of the first: a landscaped area with children's pools and playgrounds, a special menu, comfortable rooms, own beach. In the private sector, renting a house or a room, you can provide the child with conditions that are as close to home as possible: the usual kitchen, a small number of people, no noisy festivities, a cozy atmosphere.
As for the geographical location, the best place in Crimea for rest with kids is the West and South coast of Crimea. Alushta, Alupka, Yalta and Sudak are the most famous resort cities of the South Coast. There are a lot of sanatoriums and boarding houses of family type, which provide all conditions for a comfortable and healthful rest. The sea is clean, the beaches are mostly pebbly and sandy, the air is stunning. A lot of fun for both children and adults: water attractions, excursions, swimming pools and playgrounds. The best time for rest with kids in this region is the end of August - the beginning of September. Firstly, the sea is still warm, the sun is no longer hot, and the rest is much less. Secondly, full of fresh and ripe fruit-berries-vegetables, rich in vitamins. For those who want to relax in a more peaceful environment, it is worth giving preference to southern villages, for example, Gurzuf, Koreiz, Simeiz, Foros.
As for the western Crimean coast, here the deserved first place among the spa resorts is Evpatoria. Among the advantages: a huge number of boarding houses, including a family type, a clean sandy beach with a gentle descent, a warm shallow sea, a developed entertainment infrastructure. But at the height of the summer season Evpatoria beaches are quite crowded. Therefore, for a quieter family vacation, another resort in the west of the Crimea - Saki - will suit. Saki beaches are wide, mostly sand, but with shell-and-pebble impurities, the sea is warm and clean. If you live somewhere close to the water, then you can have a great rest with the baby, and with the older child.

Parents of older children, except for a comfortable beach holiday with water parks and entertainment at the well-known spa resorts, can begin to introduce their children to the delights of rest in the bosom of nature. Fortunately, the Crimean nature and abundance of "wild" beaches in every way contribute to the development of the child's love and respect for the environment. Of course, this is not about the territories chosen by nudists and non-formalities and not about dangerous places, but about the most beautiful corners of the Crimea, where rest with a tent will remain an unforgettable memory from childhood. For example, you can enjoy Crimean steppe beauty, snow-white rocks and blue sea on Cape Tarkhankut. This is one of the best places for a "wild" holiday on the west coast.

Alternatively, you can stay with children in inexpensive local hotels or in the private sector, and for the beauty and communication with the amazing nature to get out on the promontory itself.
