A huge request to help with the choice of a country for a holiday with children
We just can’t decide where it is better to relax with small children 6 years and 10 months old. We are planning a vacation in September. Departure from Ekb or Chelyabinsk. from 10 days. Need a good 4* or 5* AI, UAI or FB+ hotel. Budget 150 tr.
I don’t even know what country to watch Greece, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates, Bulgaria, Croatia .... I want to meet this budget and not spoil the impression of a vacation after good Turkish 5 *. I look forward to comments and advice on the country and the hotel.
Thank you all in advance!

Which 5* Turkey is "good" for you? At least have an idea to offer hotels. Each of us has our own understanding of this. In another post, I already answered you that even for a Good hotel in Bulgaria, the budget is small. Not to mention the Emirates and Croatia. A solid four in Greece for three in August costs 200-250 thousand (for ALL). In September it will be a little cheaper, but not much. Although, who knows what will happen to the euro further) Yes, and with such kids, only the first half of September should be considered, due to the vagaries of the weather.

The Greek islands for kids and for the budget are the best. Do not even consider Croatia because of the high cost.

Yes, the vehicle is not organized with children on its own. Especially for 10 months!
Mouzenidis is a worthwhile company, I traveled with it. See also Zakynthos.

Zakynthos, like Corfu, is far from a budget option. Or Chalkidiki, or the islands of Crete or Rhodes. According to MOT: Pegasus and Anex are the most inexpensive now. Although Pegasus messes with visas))) (she got herself this time)))))))))

The main problem is that even in September you can't keep up with 2vzr + 2d in a good hotel for 150 tons. At least 100 must be added. And it will only be 4 *
In terms of time, you need to fit exactly into September, and preferably in the first half of the month. Of course, it doesn’t happen year after year, but the second half of September can already be unpredictable in terms of weather and sea.
And it is impossible to compare Greek hotels with Turkish ones. It will be a slightly different vacation, not bad and not good, but different.
So adjust your budget and read a little about the main Greek islands, they are still different from each other. Then it will be easier to give advice.
You can definitely forget about other countries from your list with your budget.
Perhaps I would recommend adding Spain to the search. If you take the Costa Brava area, for example, something in the Lloret de Mar area. There are also good all options. In terms of climate and air, it will definitely be better for children there, but the water in the sea will be cooler than in Greece and hotels will have an even smaller territory

Now it is clear. Well, I wouldn’t put Utopia next to the Botanist) and if you take hotels in Greece at the level of Botanist, then these are Aldemara and Grekotel)))))) space prices) you can immediately forget about them) and even Pegasus Dessole at a price much higher than yours budget. You can see Eri Beach 4 in Crete, maybe you can meet it. This is just one example of what you can expect from your budget. I would also advise Dessole Malia Beach 4+, from where I just flew in with my granddaughter. Good Littos Beach, but the price, I think, will be high.

And I didn’t like dessole raspberry scourge. Crowd of people, food is a mess, the territory is good, the beach is beautiful, although the hotel is clearly 4, I liked the Olympic Palace in Rhodes more. Although the beach is a bit problematic there. In general, now I don’t see the point of overpaying / I’m considering 3 and apart hotels with kitchens. I no longer care about chlorine pools, where my children spend all the time and large areas of hotels. Greece has a lot to see. The main thing is to have rights and travel tolerance, a good beach and civilization next to taverns, cafes, shops. And I liked this holiday in Greece much more than the Turkish all-inclusive

chastlivaya, thanks for the kind words! If you still decide to book now, I can look specifically at hotels and prices. Keep in mind, more visas. And biometrics. In our region, this is only Ekb. Children under 12 are exempt. Potroodts Crimea. I think even the most modest three-ruble note in Greece is better than a boarding house in the Crimea)))

olga116, about Malia) what kind of crowds???? When the hotel is fully loaded, there are ALWAYS free sunbeds at the pools, and on the beach, and in restaurants, there are no crowds))) if you have a variety of vegetables both raw and stewed, grill every day: pork kebab, wings, legs, sausages, lamb, boiled tongue, lightly salted salmon, various mixed fish???? So you are probably used to Grecotels)

I would recommend looking for tours from reliable companies that deal mainly with Greece, Mouzenidis has already been recommended to you, you can still contact Ambotis. Both those and those are Greeks. Plus - the Greek fives are not initially the same as the Turkish ones, so it's better not to count on "it will be the same." In Greece, it often happens that a new three-ruble note with all-inclusive will wipe the nose of a shabby five. Look on the website of the same Ambotis that is on your budget, which hotels and read the reviews of this year. This is how we usually choose tours.

Well, what kind of space, I receive mailings here regularly, 200-300 euros a week on the nose with a flight is this space? Inexpensive Greece this year from specialized operators, keeps the level of straight past years. Look, with Sicily, compare something like where everything is from at least 500 ... And here, as it were, there is no link to the course.
And Bulgaria, from 150 which

type, at prices picture.
But of course, when there are a lot of introductory conditions (departure cities - are there these operators ??? five at the level plus service + children ...), then everything becomes more complicated.
Club Elefant simantro on Kassandra - I would look at the prices and whether there are departures. With these introductory as "a little bit of everything" of the conditions.

From Yekaterinburg, there are almost the most expensive flights in the average half) we fly more than 5 hours) the price of package tours is more expensive than Moscow ones by an average of 40%. Dee and who flies with small children for a week???? I don’t even consider the second part of a vacation for such a period (((so your 300 euros per person translates into a minimum of 500-600. And taking into account the region, it’s even more expensive. Multiply by 3, plus landing for infanta, visas) simple math) )))

I’m not used to Greek hotels, but I didn’t like the food at the time of 2014 in Dessol as a whole, there were a few more unpleasant moments with the staff and a crowd of people there - the hotel is massive, with a large number of rooms. A separate question for the Malia resort - a very restless place and not at all interesting. More than once regretted that they chose the hotel there. This is my personal opinion and I do not impose it on you or anyone else. For both Greek hotels, I wrote reviews in my profile - if you are interested, read it. And yet, it’s stupid of course to expect courtesy on the Internet, but I would still like to see it. And Greece is beautiful. I hope to visit there again and again. What do you want.

Play on words) where is the "courtesy" ??? There is no need to suck a problem out of your finger where it does not exist) a normal discussion. Nobody is trying to offend you) my friends asked me about the photo of the hotel "where are the people, why is the hotel empty"? Yes, everything somehow "blurred" over the territory) Yes, and 280 rooms cannot be called a "large number". Average average hotel.

In the Costa Brava area, the water will already be cool in September. And in Greece, the most important thing is not to look for Turkey - it is a completely different country with a beautiful clean sea and a friendly attitude of the local population towards Russian tourists. Read the latest reviews of this year about the rest of "Turkolyubov" in Greece, there are already a lot of them on different resources.

Spain is much more expensive than Greece. Now I looked at the prices with a departure from Yekaterinburg from 3 to 10 September. For 11 nights. Botanica level hotels start from 290k per TC family. This is without visas and a boarding pass for the Infanta. Hotels where you can still go with a stretch, from 165. Mouzenidis has an average of 10-20 thousand more expensive

Rhodes now has a lot of interesting discount offers. And to Crete. It's more expensive on the mainland. I really liked Crete. You can start with him, there is something to see. Cities like different pearls - Agios Nikolaus, Rethymnon, Chania - all are not alike. On Rhodes, Lindos and the city of Rhodes itself are diametrically different. There are places to go with children - an ostrich share farm, a large aqua park. In general, there are plenty to choose from.
