We are going to go abroad for the first time next year, at the end of May, we will be with a small child. Which is better - Turkey or Greece?
The soul lies in Greece .. but our budget for everything about everything is no more than 100 thousand, that is, for the tour and all related expenses .. on the Mouzenidis website I saw excellent offers for early booking, but as it turned out, these are very modest hotels .. acquaintances Turkey is highly recommended, supposedly it is easier with a child there, and for the beach and hotel vacation that we want, it is more suitable. Personally, I would just sunbathe, take a break from the pots, see the sea, I don’t know how to swim)) I don’t need any excursions and entertainment, it would be enough to walk around the city a couple of times a week) who has any opinions? Thank you in advance

Now my children with my little granddaughter (8 months old) are in Greece, in May they were in Kemer, Turkey. And how does your soul look at it? In Greece, of course, more expensive, this is Europe. In Turkey, you can find a hotel where there are all conditions for children's recreation. I show you a photo of the hotel where my children are resting. This is Greece (for the soul)

Turkey is definitely better for children and the service is much higher (if you take a certain budget and compare it).
But 100 tr. 3 is not very much, whatever one may say for Turkey. Therefore, do not expect a high level for little money.
I love only Kemer (beautiful mountains, pines, firs, cones, birds, etc.), but my child and I always swim from the pier. The son does not like sand, the water is muddy and sand is everywhere on the body. We only choose a stone bottom from the age of 4.
And since you do not swim, then look at hotels in Side. There are huge sandy beaches.
I recommend
PALOMA OCEANA RESORT is a great 5 with a huge beach, I don’t know what the price will be next year, but it’s better to take fewer days, but go to a clean spacious hotel.

"I've seen great deals on early bookings, but as it turned out, these are very modest hotels..."
Fioleta, do you seriously think that in Turkey you will be offered luxury hotels for this money?))) I am convinced that you need to choose what your soul lies in, and not what your friends recommend. Even if you make a mistake with the choice, this choice will be yours, and not someone else's.

If you want Greece at the price of Turkey, choose Bodrum, this resort town is 100% Greek architecture, all houses and various buildings are white, Greek islands and the Aegean Sea are nearby, photos from Bodrum cannot be distinguished from photos from MykonosCheck out Asteria Bodrum Resort 5 *, the hotel is good in terms of food and location and is also built in the Greek style like the rest of Bodrum. Plus the hotel is in the bay, so the sea temperature will be warmer

Ollenka, I don’t even think about chic with such a budget! They just scared me that for the low cost of a tour in Greece, I could get into a really sloppy hotel, with a bad room that smelled of bugs, mold and the sea per kilometer) it somehow became scary.

By the way, no one in the previous question about early booking with mold and bedbugs scared you. They just said that the hotels are modest. Well, you are adequate, you don’t count on luxury for that kind of money. So what's the throwing?

Ollenka, so the bottom line is that in Turkey, by early booking, you can take a tour for May for the same money in the top five or a good four .. or is it not? I looked at the website of local tour operators, in January for 55-60 thousand you could take the top five at the end of May .. besides, visas are not needed. In short, I don’t really know .. I need to save more money, apparently in order to have a comfortable rest) early, of course, I loaded up on this topic, but I really want to talk and dream about it in our cold cloudy July days))) thank you for your advice again)

Oh, the sea in the pictures is awesome))). I want to go to Bodrum!
Fioleta, everything is fine, I start dreaming about a new vacation as soon as I return from the previous one, so I understand you perfectly. But we definitely cannot decide for you, not knowing what is more important for you: 5 * or a student's dream.

Ollenka, oh, if I were alone or with my husband together, I wouldn’t hesitate at all, and I would give birth perfectly with bedbugs, just to visit Greece) yes, as I remember how our teacher in ancient Greek told about this country, it gives me goosebumps ) but it did not work out before the appearance of the baby to go. And now his comfort is a priority ... I understand that I want a lot for little money, but still I hope to find the best solution with the help of advice! I just got the idea that the planned trip may turn out to be the first and last (for the next few nodes) of our outing abroad, so I want to shove the unimpressible into it))) all the dreams I have accumulated over the years about vacation at sea)

Bodrum at the end of May is definitely NOT, the water will not warm up for children.
I am not a tour operator, but a mother who traveled with a child many hotels and regions of Turkey, therefore, from my bell tower, I recommend that you pay attention to the Side region because of the good sandy beaches and relatively close to the airport. In May, the sea will already be warm enough for swimming.
I do not recommend Alanya, because. after the flight another 2.5-3 hours by bus with a child, it's beyond my strength...

Traveling for a child of two years in any case will be discomfort. Airplane, unusual environment, different food (you are unlikely to take baby food with you for a week). Therefore, talking about comfort for the baby and recovery at sea is always slyness.
It would be more correct in this situation to focus on your ideas about a good rest with your husband.
Water neither in Greece, nor in Bodrum, nor in Kemer has yet warmed up to the July level, what can you do. If the child does not like it, he will simply play on the shore.

The water temperature in the bays of Bodrum will differ from the water temperature near Kemer and Belek by 1-2 degrees in May, and even coincide
I rested at the end of May 2017 (May 23 to June 1) in Belek, the water was +22, I arrived in Bodrum on June 2, the water in the bays was +22

Why not bring food? I would take juices, meat purees, instant cereals, what’s there, a week ... we flew to our parents this year, I was alone with the baby for 10 months, the road is long, so it seemed to me that, on the contrary, he was fun and interesting, and I it’s just exhausted ... it’s tinny when a child doesn’t stand without support yet, and you hold him with one hand, unfold the stroller with the other, while you yourself are loaded like a camel .. and the child is cool) he laughs))
Well, why, cunning, I want the child to live in a clean room, so that it is convenient for him to swim, so that there is good sound insulation in the rooms and at least some kind of playground in the yard, well, food, preferably ...

Cunning in the sense that the child is the sea at 1-2 years old in general to the light bulb)).
The location of the hotel (in the bay or not) can be seen on the map, usually the map is attached to the description of the hotel.
