How to choose a resort on the Black Sea for a summer vacation, so that there are cozy hotels, a gentle entrance to the sea, an abundance of entertainment and excursions? We will try to please all tourists and select the best beach resorts from Abkhazia, Bulgaria, Georgia, everyone's favorite Crimea and Sochi. We will find out prices in hotels near the coast and show you how to save money on buying a tour.
Visiting the Crimean Peninsula is competitive even with advanced foreign resorts. But only knowing where it is better to relax in the Crimea with children in the summer, you can get a brilliant result of the vacation. Not all beach destinations are ideal for kids, and hotels should be given close attention. You also need to find out about the rational time of departure or departure.
When is the best time to go to the Black Sea?
The early tourist flow rushes to the Black Sea shores in the last third of spring, starting in May. Then the air warms up solidly, the sea pulls up after it, tours can still be bought at low prices. Hot time comes to those places in july and august... Resorts fill cities and towns to capacity; when planning a trip, they will independently take care of housing in the private sector or a hotel room long before the holiday season.
At the beginning of the summer season, swimming is safe and pleasant on 95% of the territory. But when figuring out the prices for summer vacations in Batumi with children or in other entertainment corners, we advise you to give preference to shallow bays and coves, here the water is already warmed up to +24.
Stormy weather should not be feared. The velvet season in the subtropical region comes in September, and partly affects October. The difficulty is that good weather situations are unpredictable. Sudden changes of sunny days with swiftly rushing waves and blowing winds are characteristic in autumn for 100% of the Black Sea shores. But the flow of tourists at the resorts is decreasing, and the heat is not as strong as in the height of summer.
Where to relax in Sochi?
Greater Sochi
Choosing options for rest on the Black Sea with children in 2021, we advise you to first deal with Greater Sochi... There are no larger resorts in the Russian Federation. Nature itself has made up a complex for leisure time all year round.
Central section - Sochi - gave a name to the entire region. The surrounding mountains and wooded areas are guaranteed to stop the cold northern winds. The sea cools and warms up not as quickly as the air masses. Improvements in the Olympic period have transformed Sochi into an unimaginable all-season recreation center, where you can not only see the sights, but also rent a cozy room in a decent hotel for a low fee.
When the snow is firmly falling, thousands of skiers and snowboarders rush down the slopes of Krasnaya Polyana. But even in the off-season, when both beaches and mountain heights are bad, sanatoriums and sports facilities, excursion centers please.
- Where is the best place to stay in Sochi?
We advise you to stay in a cozy guest house Sunrise Guest House, the cost of accommodation is from 1900 rubles. For this amount, they will provide a double air-conditioned room and allow you to check-in around the clock, which is very important after a long flight. From hotels near the sea in Sochi on the first line, we recommend "Marins Park 4 *" (80 meters from the water), the room will cost 7100 rubles. From quiet small hotels, Kometa is ideal (also in terms of 1 vacationer), it will open its doors for 2,000 rubles, and a day in the Orchid guest house with its own swimming pool will cost 900 rubles per tourist.
Adler
A conversation about the best resorts on the Black Sea for a vacation with a child does not allow us to ignore Adler... The road to Sochi is 27 kilometers. Near the rivers Psou and Kudepsta. The coastal strip of 17 km pleases visitors with amazing beaches. Since ancient times, Adler has been full of sanatoriums treating visitors with silt mud enriched with hydrogen sulfide.

A trip to Gamma Sirius Park is much more affordable - 22,200 rubles. A double room in the popular Imeretinskiy hotel costs 24,100 rubles per person (with free Wi-Fi and a buffet) for 7 nights.

Simferopol
Simferopol deserves attention not only as the main air hub (airfare) of the peninsula. Yes, you can't find beaches there. But the city contains a lot of art galleries, museums and theaters. It is here that you should go for sightseeing of the city and its surroundings. The old quarter of Simferopol, its iconic temples and old buildings in different places may be attractive.

Families with small children will appreciate the calmness of the sea and the gentle slope of the sandy bottom.
