On holiday in Alanya with children!
On holiday in Alanya with children!
When we plan a vacation with the whole family, we always think about how to make the rest as comfortable as possible primarily for younger family members. It is not for nothing that it says that all the best is for children.
In recent years, Turkish Alanya has become one of the most popular holiday resorts with kids. Accident? Rather, all the same pattern. Because here the entire infrastructure is made taking into account the needs of children, yes, by the way, nature itself has tried to make the smallest holidaymakers feel comfortable here.
Beaches of Alanya - sandy entrance and warm sea
We all go to the sea first of all for the sake of the sea itself. In order to swim in warm water enough, get a charge of health and a good portion of vitamin D. And even more so if we are going to buy an apartment in Turkey to come there on vacation regularly, then we pay special attention to the coastal strip.
Alanya beaches are best suited for families with children.
To begin with, the entrance to the sea in Alanya is mostly sandy, or even small pebbles. So, you do not have to ride on cobblestones to get to the depth, and the child will be able to comfortably splash in shallow water.
The best beaches for families with children are Oba, Tosmura, Cleopatra Beach. If we talk about beaches with a very gentle entrance to the sea (this is when you wander, and you are knee-deep), there are two of them in Alanya.
The first is the municipal beach in the center of the city. It is located directly behind the city administration building. The second is a beach in Avsallar with gentle sand.
By the way, all the beaches here are equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas, toilet cabins and showers. But all this is so necessary on vacation with the kids.
Infrastructure for the smallest
Remember yourself in childhood, where were you ready to run faster than the wind, and where was it so hard for you to take your mothers and fathers? Of course, these are children's playgrounds with swings, carousels. This children's paradise.
In Alanya, such sites are literally at every turn. And they are quite modern, with a soft surface, modern swings, simulators, attractions. And, of course, absolutely free.
By the way, those who have real estate in Turkey know that in most complexes there are also playgrounds, which can be used exclusively by owners or tenants of apartments.
At the entrance to Alanya there is a small Lunapark, which usually opens its doors after dinner. Here you will not find crazy roller coasters, but there are plenty of attractions for kids in Alanya Lunapark.
If you are planning to go shopping while on vacation, then you will not have to worry about where to take the children. In the shopping center Alanium, which is located at the beginning of Oba, there is an excellent play zone PlayLand. There are carousels and trampolines and slot machines. In general, the fun will find for themselves and the youngest children, and those who are older.
And if you need to leave the child for a while, then you can contact the place called Fairbloks, which is also located next to Alanium. Here, your children will be looked after by professionals: play Lego, monopoly and even learn to bake cupcakes.
For those who are older
It can not but rejoice that many of the activities for children in Alanya are free. So in the center of the city there are basketball and volleyball courts, table tennis tables, sports areas with exercise equipment. And anyone can use it all, regardless of citizenship and place of residence.
By the way, some tennis courts are also free here, you just need to bring your own racquets and a ball - and play as much as you like.
If your children prefer water activities more, then here they will be where to turn. Four water parks are located in Alanya (and its environs): in the city center, in Kargicak, in Avsallar and in Okurcalar. And there is just a terrific place in Turkler, called Sealanya. Here there are swimming pools filled with sea water, ancient cities are buried at the bottom, and the underwater world here is not inferior in its wealth to the Egyptian red sea.
It will be interesting for schoolchildren to get acquainted with the history - to walk along the fortress, climb the Red Tower, go down to the shipyard, and also climb the ruins of cities such as Naula and Syedra.
By the way, if your children explore everything in Alanya, you can always go to nearby Side, where there is an ancient city, amusement parks and even a huge dinopark.
All for health
For many who are going on holidays with children (especially if the rest in Turkey is not a hotel, but an independent one), one of the important questions is nutrition: will there be anything to feed the younger members of the family, whether there is a familiar bunting and buckwheat for them.
Since there are a lot of foreigners living in Alanya, here you can easily find our favorite products. So if even 5-7 years ago, our usual oatmeal and buckwheat were rare here, but today these cereals can be found on the shelves of almost any stores.
There is also cottage cheese (contrary to the opinion that it cannot be found in Turkey). It is nothing like sweet cheese Lor (Tatli lor), although it looks more like curd mass, but no less tasty.
There is no need even to talk about the abundance of fruits and vegetables. Everyone knows that in Turkey, fresh vitamins on the shelves all year round.
The only thing that may seem to be a problem is the absence of sausage products that are familiar to us. More precisely, sausages and sausages, which are sold in Turkey are quite unlike those that we used to eat in our homeland. But children usually do not notice this difference.
By the way, in many cafes and restaurants there is also a special children's menu. But for the most part these are hamburgers and french fries that are loved by kids.
Should we be afraid of acclimatization
Many people are afraid to fly to Turkey with their children on holiday, because they are afraid of acclimatization.
And in vain. In fact, the Alanya climate is very comfortable not only for adults, but also for children. Alanya is not the tropics, it is subtropics, so you should not be afraid of serious reactions of the body.
Well, if health issues still arise, there are many wonderful pediatricians in Alanya who will provide qualified medical assistance.
Those who have ever visited Alanya on holidays with children can confirm that for kids and teenagers there is a real paradise. And many come back here not for a week to the hotel, but for a month or two, renting an apartment, and many even decide to buy property in Turkey in order to come to Alanya as often as possible.
