A vacation with a child at sea (especially a small one) can turn into a serious problem. After all, those children who are taken by their parents to the hot south, especially in summer, often have a hard time tolerating acclimatization, get sick both at the resort and at home after returning. In addition, the food offered to holidaymakers in the southern regions is not always useful for children from northern countries. Therefore, it is wiser to relax with a child in more familiar climatic conditions, for example, in the Baltic States.
What are the advantages of resting with children in the Baltics
Most of the children in the seaside resorts of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia either do not react at all to the changing weather conditions or tolerate them very easily. Therefore, parents will not have problems with the notorious acclimatization of the child, even in the midst of summer.
Coniferous (mainly pine) forests stretch along the entire Baltic coast, thanks to which the air at sea resorts is not only very clean, but also healthy, due to the presence of phytoncides secreted by the resin of coniferous trees.
Nearly all hotels are served buffet-style meals, and they also include dishes that are most suitable for small children, such as cereals cooked in milk or water, soups, pureed with meat or vegetable broth. In any case, ask the tour operator for food options.
In addition, in many Baltic hotels, chefs, at the request of parents, can prepare separate meals for children.
Finally, due to the cooler climate and strict observance of sanitary standards, the likelihood of food poisoning and intestinal infections in the Baltics is immeasurably lower than in many southern countries (including Egypt and Turkey, which are very popular among Russians).
Where is the best place to relax in the Baltics with children
Even during the Soviet era, Palanga (in Lithuania) and Jurmala (in Latvia) were considered the most popular resorts in the Baltics. And now, parents with children can choose any of these resorts. The choice depends, first of all, on the age of the child and on whether the parents plan to visit the surrounding attractions with him.
Jurmala is designed for energetic tourists, especially since the Latvian capital Riga with a lot of interesting sights is located not far from it.
A walk through the beautiful historical center of Riga will surely bring great pleasure not only to parents, but also to children (of course, if they are no longer the smallest).
In addition, Jurmala has more opportunities for active children's recreation (for example, it has a good water park, children's ground attractions). In the city of Klaipeda, located not far from Palanga, there are also sights, but they are much smaller. Palanga is considered a calm resort with lower prices, so it is better to go there for those who like a quiet holiday.
Parents wishing to provide their child with peace, quiet and homeliness can also rent a house in the private sector.
