Trip to Crimea will be a real great adventure for the whole family. To rest brought only positive impressions, you should carefully consider all the details. It is important to choose the season of the year, the route, think over the travel program so that it is of interest to all family members.

For a holiday with children, the climate of Crimea is quite mild and comfortable enough in summer. This peninsula is washed by the Black and Azov by sea. The variety of reliefs and the presence of two seas causes climate differences in different cities of the Crimea.

On the territory of the peninsula is a huge number of large mountain ranges. Many of them are very prominent at sea and form beautiful capes. Almost every mountain has its own history and different traditions that are associated with it. Locals tell such stories to visiting tourists with great interest.

In Crimea, the magnificent nature. There grows more than a hundred thousand different plants and flowers. The Crimean air is literally saturated with the sweet aromas of blooming magnolias and wild roses. Sea ions have a real healing effect for the whole body.

Rest with as a child here it is possible from spring to late autumn. Usually, the first vacationers come to the Crimea during the May holidays. At this time, as a rule, the air temperature warms up to + 25-26 degrees. Heavy rains or storms are not typical for this time of year. Squally winds can only be in some flat areas that are not surrounded by massive rocks.

In June, rather hot weather is recorded. The air temperature in some years even reached +32 degrees. However, this is not common. Usually at this time the air warms up to + 27-28 degrees. In June, usually in different cities of the Crimea, the largest number of tourists is observed.

Summer on the peninsula is quite hot and dry; there are practically no thunderstorms. In July, the air temperature rises to +35 degrees. This is not the best month for holidays with small children, but for kids over 7 years old, it is quite like. In children, acclimatization to the southern climate is more difficult, and the risk of sunstroke increases significantly.

August is considered one of the most wonderful months during the year to spend holidays in the Crimea. Usually at this time there is an optimal comfortable ratio between the heated air and the temperature of the water in the sea. The danger of this month is an excessive excess of E. coli in the seas. This is due to the huge number of tourists who come to the Crimea this month.

September is considered to be the golden time for a holiday with a small child in the Crimea. This month there is no sweltering heat, and the sea is still very warm. The number of tourists is also decreasing. Couples with students at this time do not attend the peninsula due to the start of school.For kids under 5-6 years of age, September is the perfect month for a family trip.

You can get to the Crimea in different ways. It depends on where the trip is planned from. However, the most popular are traveling by car or traveling by plane.

You can go to the Crimea by car. The difficulty of such a journey lies in the fact that it will be necessary to overcome several crossings. Most problems begin near Kerch. The queue for the ferry annually accumulates a huge number of cars. In some cases, waiting for the passage may take several hours. If you have a small child in the car, this becomes a real tragedy for parents.

The administration of the Crimea annually tries to introduce new measures that would contribute to better throughput of the Kerch crossing. They are trying to put into operation more modern ferries that can carry more tourists at a time. However, these measures do not adequately relieve the tension of the tourist flow, especially in the hot summer months.

Be prepared for the fact that at such a crossing you will have to stand even the whole day! The machine must have the necessary supply of diapers, as well as an adequate amount of drinking water. If you are planning a vacation in July and August, working air conditioning in the car will be very useful. During the hours of waiting under the scorching sun, metal elements quickly warm up. This can lead to heat stroke, especially in babies.

You can slightly simplify the path. Leave the car before the crossing on special parking, and then go by bus, which will also be moved by ferry from the mainland to the peninsula. Such parking for vehicles is organized in Temryuk district and in the Krasnodar region. In this way, few tourists use. Most vacationers prefer to drive to the Crimea on their own vehicles. The cost of car transportation through the crossing is usually 1500-2500 rubles.

The modern airport is located in Simferopol. You can get to it from almost any Russian city. Most Russian airlines even organize direct flights without direct flights. In some cases, in the absence of such flights, you will have to fly through Moscow - this trip will cost a bit more.

The largest number of flights to the airport of Simferopol is provided by the airline Aeroflot. Every year the number of flights increases. This leads to increased load on the airport itself. Since 2015, active reconstruction works are underway in it, which should improve the material and technical base and increase the maneuverability during the holidays.

Cost of plane ticketscertainly depends on the season and time of booking. The cheapest tickets will be for February, March, and also from the end of October to November. At this time, the number of tourists in the Crimea decreases several times. If you are planning a trip with your child in advance, try to book air tickets as quickly as possible - this allows you to save up to 25-30% of the cost of travel documents.
