When the family council decides the question: “Where to relax during the holidays?” many families tend to spend it abroad. And families with three-year-old children are no exception. Why not!? The crawling-diaper time has passed, the baby has grown up, got stronger, is curious and active, and young parents need a change of scenery and a new surge of emotions. Having decided on a trip, you need to decide: “Where?”.

Where to go on vacation with a child?

Recently, most families with young children prefer to vacation in Turkey! And no wonder! Here you will find: a favorable climate for relaxation, gentle sun, a sea warm as fresh milk, comfortable beaches, as well as a chic level of comfort and coziness provided at an affordable price. By the way, in Turkey, special attention is paid to recreation for children, namely, children's entertainment centers, children's entertainment is organized and contests are held, and many hotels have provided a special kitchen for children. After listening to the opinions of many families who have visited Turkey, I will give advice:

• place of stay is better to choose: Antalya, Alanya, Bodrum, Kemer, Side and Belek
• the best time for the trip - May, June, September. July and August are very hot!
• it is advisable to take a hotel at least 4 stars
• it is better to book a ticket in advance, it will be cheaper
• The longer you stay in Turkey, the better your health will be!)))

A family that decides to visit Turkey with a child who is 3 years old should get serious about preparing required documents, things and accessories that will be useful during the trip.

Documents required for traveling to Turkey:

• Passports of all family members. By the way, a passport for a child of 3 years old is issued in the same way as for an adult in the district office of the Federal Migration Service at the place of registration or at the place of temporary registration. There are two types of international passports: the old sample and the new sample (biometric). To avoid confusion about which list of documents you need to apply for a particular type of passport, I recommend that you first contact the FMS department.
• Flights
• Tourist voucher.

What to take for a child in Turkey?

This is the most burning question for caring mothers. Many would have taken out a whole wardrobe of things and a whole chest of toys. Of course, you don’t need to do this, but sit down and think about what things the little one is happy to wear at home, in what clothes he is comfortable and comfortable. The list should include: several T-shirts, panties, t-shirts, socks, shorts, skirts (if a girl), hats (caps and panama hats). Be sure to bring a pair of bathing suits. Given that there are also cloudy, windy days in Turkey, warm clothes should be included in the baby’s luggage: long-sleeved trowels, pants (for example, jeans), and a windbreaker. Shoes should be of several types, for example: sandals or sandals, sneakers, slippers and beach flip-flops.

Now I will dwell on the means of personal hygiene of the baby. Mommy should think about the fact that the baby has diapers (at least for the day of arrival, and then you can buy), a comb, wet wipes, ear sticks, sunscreen, baby cream, hair clips (if a girl), a baby monitor and a potty.

What toys for a 3-year-old baby should I take on vacation to Turkey? I recommend taking a couple of the smallest toys that the little one loves, as well as an inflatable ball, an inflatable ring or armlets, an inflatable children's pool and a sandbox set. You can also take a notebook, coloring book, pencils and your favorite book.

Do not forget to take a first aid kit with you, filling it with iodine, hydrogen peroxide, an antiallergic agent, cold medicines, antipyretic and analgesic, sterile cotton and bandage, antiviral, absorbent and antihistamine.

Well, perhaps this is all that a baby may need! Otherwise, you just need a good mood to enjoy the sea and the entertainment complex. Speaking of them!

I want to please you right away that in Turkey you can find more than one entertainment for a child of 3 years old. First, it is, of course, the beach and the sea! A child at sea at the age of 3 can learn to float (always under the supervision of parents), play in the sand, build sand castles, run along the beach, play with other children and much more. Secondly, it is allowed to have a picnic on the territory of the hotel, sitting with children on a hammock or ottoman among orange trees. Thirdly, water parks, where the little one with great pleasure will move down the water slides. Fourthly, mini-clubs, where highly qualified teachers will draw with your child, sculpt plasticine with him or play with a variety of toys. Fifthly, playgrounds have been organized, where good-natured animators arrange funny show programs for children. By the way, if you, the parents, want to have some fun yourself for a while, the hotel will provide your little one with a caring nanny who will pay due attention to the baby during your absence.
