Where to go on vacation in Turkey with children is better? Which beach resorts are ideal for entertainment and swimming, which hotels on the first line with a good beach and all inclusive food are better to book? How much will a trip to the sea cost for the whole family?
In 2021, a large number of tourists are expected to spend their holidays with children on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. When planning a trip, the first question arises: do you need a visa? As before, Russians do not need a visa to travel.
The second question that worries tourists: where to go to rest in Turkey? A family with children is more demanding in their approach to the main components of recreation - nutrition, climate and weather conditions, the possibility of observing the usual daily routine for the kid, beach holidays and children's entertainment.
It can be difficult to find an all-inclusive economy class tour during peak season. One of the ways where to have an inexpensive vacation in Turkey is to select a hotel and buy air tickets on your own. But this is convenient only if the family does not have special requirements for amenities, and the emphasis is on a beach holiday.

If necessary, after a long flight and tired children, many Russians book Kiwitaxi online, they will meet you with a sign near the terminal, take you to the hotel and help with your luggage.
How to get there on your own from the airport?
How to get from the airport of Turkey to the resort of interest on your own? The bus is the most popular transport in Turkey. You can go anywhere on it. Shuttles usually run from the airport. The railway connects remote settlements with Ankara, Izmir and Istanbul.
So some resorts can be reached by train. For those who want to travel around the country in their own car, you can get to the Turkish shores along the Black Sea from Russian ports. The ferry can be taken in Ilyichevsk (to Istanbul), Novorossiysk (to Samsun) and Sochi (to Trabzon).
To get to Istanbul from Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Ataturk, a separate material will help you, where everything is specifically told in steps.
Where is the best place to relax in Turkey with children?
Choosing where it is better to go to Turkey with a child at sea, you need to understand the benefits of a beach holiday with kids. Hoteliers understand the direct dependence of a hotel's profitability on the quality of service for the children's category of holidaymakers.
Hotels in Turkey for families with children should be considered carefully, not all hotels are as good as we would like. Despite the fact that preschool children live in hotels without additional payment for a room, paradise conditions have been created for them - animators, children's clubs by age, water and amusement parks, fresh air, healing sea.
Attention: only five-star hotels create special conditions for children's recreation. In these restaurants, guests will receive, along with the usual, a children's menu. They will be brought a comfortable highchair, and a baby cot will be placed in the room.
So, the best resorts in Turkey for families with children:
Suburb of Kemer
The suburb is among the top ten places for summer vacations in Turkey with children. Club hotels in villages Tekirova, Camyuva, Kirish and Beldibi boast a vast green area around, children's beaches, professional animators and water parks.
Accommodation is offered in cozy two-storey houses. Due to the distance from city noise and dust, the air here is crystal clear. The Robinson Club hotel in Camyuva and the Kemer Renisanse hotel of the highest culture and service in Beldibi are worth highlighting. Accommodation prices are democratic.
We recommend booking hotels for holidays using the direct link Booking.com.
Pebble beaches can be considered a downside - there is a danger of cutting your foot on stones when entering the water.
Lara
Antalya resort has recently ceased to be a convenient vacation spot for families with kids due to the influx of tourists, noise and gas pollution, but the Lara resort in its suburbs has good conditions for preschoolers. It is located only a quarter of an hour from Antalya. Sandy beaches are equipped here, so the entrance to the sea for children is comfortable and not dangerous with cuts, and the availability of all-inclusive hotels will solve several problems at once.
Water parks, amusement parks and animation will make a vacation with a child unforgettable.
The downside may be the limited area of the territory of hotels. Because of this, babies can be disturbed by the noise of night discos.
Also, when booking a hotel, you need to clarify the availability of a special menu for children in the restaurant. Therefore, it is not recommended to go here with babies.

When is the best time to travel with a child?
The holiday season lasts from May to October. Although in mid-May it is believed that the holiday season has gained momentum, it is better not to plan a vacation with children until June.
It is in June that the water in the sea warms up enough for bathing children - up to 24 degrees... The air temperature reaches 30 degrees... There is now a risk of heat or sunstroke.
July and August - the hottest months of the season. And if the weather in Turkey in June is favorable for young children, then in July and August it can become dangerous for the delicate skin of the child. The water heats up up to 29 degrees, but the sun is so hot that it is enough to stay in the open sun for 30 minutes to get a sunburn.
This is a very dangerous period for babies. In addition, this time is the peak of the season, the influx of tourists is huge, there is noise and bustle everywhere. Hotel owners note a significant decrease in families with small children on vacation.
The Velvet season - from late August to early September. The heat has already subsided, but the water is still very warm. The safest baby tan can be purchased during this period. Later, you can go on vacation with your children if you do not plan to swim in the sea.
Prices for food in a cafe
Having decided to independently organize your meals on vacation or are tired of eating at the hotel, you can always grab a bite or dine in numerous cafes and restaurants.
A cheap lunch will cost about $ 4 per person. A cup of coffee or tea in a cafe will cost 20-30 cents. A liter of juice in a store costs about $ 1. The average price for lunch in a restaurant is $ 15 per person. The price for a kebab is between $ 2 and $ 7, although another meat dish will not cost more than $ 5. But seafood will cost from $ 15 to $ 50 per serving.
Cost of drinks:
- light alcoholic drinks cost from 1 to 3 dollars;
- wine - from $ 2;
- beer - from 50 cents to 3 dollars.
A full meal for two adults, including snacks, cocktails and goodies, will be about $ 200 per day.
Prices for tours to Turkey "all inclusive"
How much does an all-inclusive holiday in Turkey with children cost? Many travel agencies lure Russians with low prices, but in the end, with surcharges and fees, a completely different cost is obtained.
The calculation is taken on a family of two adults and a child for 7-8 days. On average, the rest will be 105,375 rubles with a flight from Moscow. Namely:

The Travelata website has selected excellent tours of different price categories that are optimal for a vacation in Turkey in the summer with children on an all-inclusive basis and not only, here you can also find inexpensive offers near the sea.
Here are just a few of the options I have found that are perfect for the best kid-friendly holiday in Turkey. The calculation of the tour is based on the rest of 2 adults with one child for a period of 7-10 days (the cost is relevant at the time of this writing).
