When you go to sea. When is the best time to go to the Black Sea. Holidays in the summer by the sea. Tours & Tickets

The resorts of the Krasnodar Territory are waiting for vacationers all year round. But vacationers prefer to go to the subtropics, to the sea during the season when you can swim in the sea, and on the beach - sunbathe and bask in the sun. On the Black Sea coast, there is a whole summer for this, and another nice bonus is the velvet season.

When can you swim in the Black Sea

You can go on vacation to the Black Sea at the end of May. The weather is already warm, the sea is gradually warming up. The best and hottest months to visit this region are July and August. At this time, in the resort towns there is a huge number of vacationers who catch beautiful sunny days.
Swimming at the beginning of summer is possible almost everywhere. It is better to choose small bays and bays for swimming, where the water will be the warmest. Storms and strong waves in the summer on the Black Sea are a rather rare phenomenon.

Velvet season on the Black Sea

The concept of "velvet season" for the subtropics is akin to the concept of "Indian summer" in the northern latitudes. During this season, the resorts are no longer as hot as in summer, but still quite warm. So, in the velvet season, most often you can still swim in the warm sea. However, one must understand that the weather during this period is unpredictable. It can both please only sunny days, and cause waves on the sea and storm winds.
It is interesting! Before the revolution, the velvet season was called a few weeks of spring before summer. After the revolution, the first autumn months began to be called this way: September and October. The velvet season is especially bright in Anapa and Gelendzhik. It lasts mainly from late August to mid-October. The weather at this time of the year is cloudless and dry, with air temperatures rising to 25 degrees Celsius during the day and dropping to 15 degrees Celsius at night.

Why is it profitable to relax in the velvet season on the Black Sea

The fact is that with the beginning of autumn, the tourist flow in resort towns drops sharply. This means that prices for services, rent and meals are also falling. Many also offer full tours with big discounts during the velvet season. In addition, in the velvet season in the Kuban there are still many fruits and berries - watermelons, melons, grapes, pears, dates and persimmons. And all this is not expensive. And how delicious!

Spring is gaining momentum faster and the May holidays are just around the corner, and behind them is the summer period with its beach season. Many parents are already starting to think about where to go with the whole family to improve their health.

Among the topical issues there is not only the choice of a vacation spot, but also the choice of the best summer month for a trip to the sea.

To determine for your family which of the three summer months is the most suitable, you should weigh all the pros and cons of each of them.

June

Very often, families do not like to go to the sea in June, because the weather can still be quite changeable, and the sea is considered not always warm. In addition, many do not want to go in the first month of summer, because autumn is still far ahead and the feeling of relaxation will disappear without a trace by that time.

In fact, people are ignoring June for a very good reason, because. it is at the beginning of summer that the service is very good, the sea is clean, there are at least people, and there are no viruses. In addition, since at least mid-June, the water temperature has been set at no lower than 18C, which means you can safely swim, but without fanaticism, of course. In countries that are located a little further south, the water temperature becomes acceptable for swimming at the very beginning of summer.

The main disadvantages of relaxing by the sea in June: changeable weather, the sea may be cold, autumn is still far away.

July

Most often, families with children prefer July to relax by the sea. This is not surprising: the weather is already guaranteed to be good, the sea has warmed up, all kinds of entertainment is in full swing, both for children and adults, and prices during this period are not yet the highest.

Of the minuses, one can single out only a significant increase in people on the beaches, difficulties with booking apartments and tickets, if you put everything off until the last moment.

August

Probably, August is one of the most inappropriate months of the summer for families with children by the sea: peak season, crowded beaches, overpriced prices, music from bars and restaurants around the clock, poor service, rotaviruses and other diseases potentially dangerous for a child - all this can significantly overshadow a family rest.

Before planning your vacation in August by the sea, read the reviews of tourists about the place where you plan to go and find out how clean the beaches are, the quality of medical care, the adequacy of prices for accommodation, meals and tickets.

Perhaps you should postpone your vacation to September, when the bulk of tourists have already left the beaches, prices will drop, and you can safely relax with a preschool child. Otherwise, you will not only have to overpay, but not get the expected pleasure from traveling, and also not improve your health properly.

With a baby on the sea: is it worth it or not?

Definitely worth it. A properly prepared family vacation has a positive effect on the internal family climate, and this first of all UNITES the family, creates positive conditions in the family for the growth of healthy, happy children, who later form a healthy society.

At what age can you relax on the sea coast?

In my opinion, from anyone, even from the 1st month. When the child has adapted to “other” living conditions, and the mother has passed the postpartum period (especially if this is the first child. In 1 month, the mother has already got used to the new schedule of her life.) Parents should provide the child with comfortable living conditions, quality food and adequate medical care , in case it is needed. For that, the stinks ask:
  • Vacation outside the country?
  • A hotel with all amenities, or just a rented room, or a tent?
  • Warm water for hygienic baths?
  • Hotel food, public dining, or self-cooked food?
  • Cooking conditions (separate kitchen or in the room where they rest, gas, electricity, dishes, water)?
  • Where is medical care provided at the place of rest, cost?
  • Insurance, what volume of medical services does the insurance cover (if you travel outside the country)?
  • The duration of the holiday with children must be more than 14 days.

If you answered these questions, then you have already formed a personal opinion about the future vacation together with your children. My advice: with a child under 3 years old, relax on the territory of Ukraine, where, if necessary, the child can receive free, high-quality, medical care in medical institutions of Ukraine, where the adaptation period WILL NOT be acute and long for your child.

When is the best time to go to the sea with a child?

Better in early June and late summer: August-September. When the air temperature reaches 35 gr. When the sun is at a certain angle to the surface of the earth. At the end of summer, the sea has time to warm up, which is more comfortable for children.

How does the change of climatic zones affect the child?

A sharp change in climatic zones negatively affects the child's body, the smaller the child, the stronger the manifestations of the negative impact. Your holiday can turn into a complete horror when your child falls ill upon arrival at the holiday destination. Therefore, plan your vacation without significantly changing the climatic zones if you have a child under 3 years of age. Most often, when changing climatic zones, there is an effect on the vascular-cardiac and immune systems of the body. If you and your child do not have violations of these systems and your child has reached the age of 5 - 6 years, you can change the climatic zones, subject to temperature fluctuations of no more than 10 - 15 gr. No need to experiment with relaxation, traveling from winter to summer. The likelihood of failure of adaptation increases.

What if you fly abroad?

In my opinion, it is possible to fly abroad with a child under 3 years old if the climate of the country corresponds to the climate of the country, or there are slight changes in climate parameters, primarily temperature. These are Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Croatia.

How to prepare a child for the sea?

If the vacation takes place on the sea coast, then at least 1 month. it is necessary for small children while bathing to gradually reduce the temperature of the water by 1 oz. every 3 days, bringing to a minimum, which does not cause discomfort in the child. For children, a contrast shower, alternating warm water with water, 2 - 3 degrees lower. Lowering the water temperature by 2 - 3 degrees per week. For 2 weeks, I advise you to eat easily digestible food, increase the amount of vegetables and fruits, sour-milk food. for 2 weeks to refuse fried, fatty, smoked, alcohol. Drink plenty of water. When preparing for a vacation, limit physical activity, organize a regime of rest and work, start sunbathing, so you prepare your skin for the sun. If the rest is in a different time zone, start getting up or going to bed for 15 - 30 minutes gradually (earlier or later) according to the time zone of the resting place. Avoid stressful situations. In this way, you prepare yourself and your child for adaptation, while the negative manifestations of which may go unnoticed.

Who does not want to sunbathe under the southern sun and how to properly accustom the baby to it?

During a stay on vacation, babies under the age of 1 are contraindicated in direct sunlight. So that the child does not have a sunstroke, so that the child does not get sunburn, because the skin is very delicate, sensitive and vulnerable. Children under 3 years of age should be dosed with exposure to the sun. Children from 1 to 3 years old, at the beginning of the rest, should be in the open sun without risk to health for no more than 5 minutes, then gradually increase the time spent up to 15 minutes in 3-5 days, then at 1:00. The first sunbaths should be obtained at an air temperature of at least 22 degrees, a sunbath is contraindicated for children at a temperature of more than 30 degrees. Sensitivity to ultraviolet rays is higher, the younger the child. After a sunbath, you can take a dip, but only after, not before. Bathing after a bath should last no more than 10 - 15 minutes. Remember that ultraviolet rays penetrate water to a depth of 2 to 3 meters.

After bathing, be sure to remove wet swimwear and dry the child. Use sunscreen for children. Apply them to dry skin in the room, before going out into the open sun, be sure to re-apply after being in the water. Sun cream for children should have a protection factor of at least 40. Before resting, test the selected sun remedy, apply a small amount on the child’s forearm, if after 20 or more minutes the skin does not turn red, then the chosen remedy can be used. Don't neglect your hats. A panama hat is a prerequisite for a child to stay in the sun, even while swimming, a panama hat should cover the ears and nose of the child. It is best that it be a panama made of natural fabric, light colors with fields, the fields of which can be prevented if necessary. The best time of the day for a child to stay under the sun is the morning and evening hours (before 10.00 am and after 16.00).

Sunbathing contraindications are:

  • kidney disease
  • Acute diseases
  • Heart defects
  • Some skin diseases
  • Photo allergy
  • Oncological diseases
  • Systemic autoimmune diseases
  • Multiple sclerosis

The use of drugs that cause photosensitivity (certain antibiotics tetracycline, sulfonamides, some antihistamines and anti-inflammatory drugs)

What to put in a first aid kit for a child?

If your child has a chronic disease, put in the first aid kit the drugs that the child takes during the active period of the disease. If your child is healthy:
  • Antiseptics (hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green, iodine - to choose from, the more you trust);
  • Bandage, cotton wool, alcohol, plaster;
  • Phys. Nasal wash solution (now in pharmacy varieties;
  • Antibacterial eye drops (with purulent conjunctivitis, when the child most often has yellow-green discharge in the corners of the eyes in the morning);
  • Antipyretics (choose the form yourself, it depends on the age of the child: candles, syrup, tablets)
  • Sorbents (activated carbon, sect, enteros-gel);
  • Test strips for acetone (subject to a history of acetonemic crises in a child);
  • Burn foam (panthenol).

How many days do you need to go so that the child has time to adapt and get the maximum benefit from the rest?

It should be borne in mind that, on average, the acclimatization of a child is slower than that of adults, namely 5-7 days. The minimum period of rest with children should be at least 14 days, in the optimal period of 21 - 24 days. If possible, rest with a child 1 - 2 months.

If the period of rest is reduced, the probability of failure of adaptation, which manifests itself in the form of a disease, increases. Remember that upon returning from rest conditions to normal conditions of existence, the child feels reacclimatization. Therefore, I advise, upon returning home, to go through gradual periods of reacclimatization, gradually return to the rhythm of life familiar to you and your child. Do not send the child to kindergarten, school, section the next day, leave a few days of vacation for home adaptation. I talked about changing the time zone earlier in the vacation preparation section.

Sea therapy has a positive effect on the body as a whole. Children most often have ENT pathologies: adenoiditis, sinusitis, hr. tonsillitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, etc. When bathing, sea water enters the nose and rinses the throat well. Sea air, saturated with ions, has a positive effect on the nasopharyngeal mucosa, increasing local immunity, which in turn protects against frequent colds. But when a child has frequent otitis media, there is a narrowness of the nasopharyngeal tube, there have been cases of perforation of the eardrum, you can swim only by first covering your ear with cotton, it is better not to dive into the water. Sea air has a good effect on children who have had pneumonia, should chronic bronchitis. It is better for children with inhalation allergies who have bronchial asthma to visit the sea before August, in August ragweed begins to bloom in most resorts. It is useful for children with scoliosis, posture disorders, rickets to relax on the sea. Swimming strengthens the muscles, unloads the load on the spine. Teenagers who have problematic skin are shown resting at sea. Children who have vegetative-vascular dystonia can relax on the sea, given that the morning rays of the sun have a tonic effect on blood vessels, the rays at sunset have a calming effect and relieve stress.

To resolve the issue of resting with children, contact a pediatrician and undergo a minimum examination: KLA and ZAS, pressure measurements and examination by a pediatrician. If your child has chronic diseases, or there are diseases in the family that are a contraindication to seaside vacations, take medications, be sure to inform the doctor about this. Contraindications to rest at sea and prolonged exposure to the sun are printed above. Also prophylactically visit a dentist before rest.

I do not advise:

  • Rest outside the country for children under 3 years of age;
  • Dramatically change the climate: from winter to summer for children under 6 years of age;
  • Carry out routine vaccination 1 month before the rest, and 2 weeks after the rest;
  • To go on vacation to children without vaccinations in other countries;
  • Go on vacation with a sick child, or with an exacerbation of a chronic disease;
  • To be in the open sun for children under 3 years of age;
  • The duration of bathing in sea water is more than 10 - 15 minutes;
  • Buy any food or drink on the beach;
  • Eat food on the seashore;
  • Use air conditioners after being at the seaside;

Have a good rest for you!!!

Be healthy!!!

The holiday season ends, bright sundresses and stylish swimsuits are stacked on the far shelf in the locker. Has the summer gone? Someone like. Some prefer to relax in early autumn, during the velvet season.

What is velvet season?

They say that such an expression appeared in the 19th century and it referred specifically to the Black Sea coast. Gentlemen and ladies of high society came to the Black Sea in September. There is still plenty of sun and fruits and it is very warm, but there is no sweltering heat. Do you remember how you dressed up in those days? Creepy corsets, long dresses, gloves. In general, in July on the seashore in such an outfit - it's just a murder!

But in September you don’t have to sweat, you can put on chic velvet (yes, velvet - hence the name of the season!) dresses in the evening and defile along the embankment arm in arm with a gentleman.

Now there are no more gentlemen and ladies left, at least in our country, but the velvet season on the Black Sea is still beautiful.

Pros of rest in the velvet season on the Black Sea

1. Weather. Doctors often recommend relaxing by the sea at the beginning of autumn, especially for those who have health problems. The sun is more gentle at this time, and the sea is still very warm and therefore swimming is quite comfortable. There is also plenty of fresh fruits and berries - grapes, watermelons, peaches, then the persimmon and pomegranate season begins. As a rule, there is little rain on the Black Sea during the velvet season.

2. Prices. An important point, I want to say. Yes, prices fall during the velvet season. And where they have not fallen, they begin to bargain more willingly. The season is coming to an end, the owners of hotels and private hotels will soon close, eat up what they earned in the summer and wait for the next season. In the meantime, they are trying to get the last money this season. In addition, prices for air tickets are also falling, and this is a very important plus.

3. Few vacationers. Not so little, of course, but compared to July, there is simply beauty and silence on the streets of resort cities near the Black Sea! The children went to school. There is also a new season in the gardens, students are taken to study. Silence and grace! The velvet season is wonderful.

Cons of rest in the velvet season on the Black Sea

I found only two cons:

1. Study. Yes, studying can be both a plus and a minus, especially for those who have children who are students. Not every parent will pull off a child during the school year and rush off to rest, even if he personally has such an opportunity.

2. Unpredictability of the weather. Usually on the Black Sea in September the weather is fine - no humidity, warm and dry. But recently something incredible has been happening to the climate on Earth. Therefore, no one can guarantee that during your vacation such natural disasters as hurricanes, heavy rains and cold winds will not occur.

The holiday season in the Krasnodar Territory begins in the spring month of April. This month, the southern spring is already ending, while, for example, in central Russia, it is just beginning. And here the gardens are already in full bloom and the meadows are green, the bright sun is shining and the birds are chirping. The air temperature this month already rises to +20 º C and even higher during the day, and the water temperature in the sea is up to +16. Starting from April, all kinds of cafes, nightclubs, sanatoriums and health resorts, restaurants and self-service canteens are already open, and you can also visit museums and excursions. Everywhere in our country it is still spring, and for example in Anapa, summer is already felt.

In May, on the Black Sea coast, you can already get a full tan, by the way, it turns out to be the most beautiful, natural and useful. On the May holidays, some already bathe, but this depends on the temperature of the air and water, as they change from year to year. Usually the water is already warming up to +17 º C, the air temperature in the daytime reaches +25 º C. At this time, the spearfishing season begins and the fishermen become more active. Of course, the prices during this period are also pleasing, because they are much lower than in the high season.

There is no strong heat in June, but summer is already in full swing and it is very comfortable to relax this month. There are not so many people on the beach yet, the water in the sea is very clean and the prices are also not high relative to mid-summer. The air temperature rarely exceeds +30 º C, but it does not fall below +20 º C, and the sea water at this time is already warmed up to +20 degrees. Another pleasant moment is that various berries are already ripening in June, such as raspberries, blackberries, red currants, mulberries, as well as beloved cherries and strawberries. Currently, in the Rostov region, some innovative enterprises have begun to grow whole hectares of strawberries. This year the harvest was a success and every day it is delivered to the shelves of shops and markets. Moreover, strawberry varieties are selected in such a way that it will keep up until the very frost. Therefore, many will be able to enjoy this delicious berry. In addition, peaches, irga, and cherries also ripen in June.

The summer month of July is the peak of the southern season. Schoolchildren are already on vacation, young people have passed all the exams - it's time for a great and interesting vacation. At this time, there are a lot of people in the resort villages, all entertainment and entertainment facilities are working at full capacity. A huge number of concerts are held, with the participation of Russian pop stars in the open air. The sea has already warmed up to +25ºС, and the air temperature is up to +27ºС. In July, you will be delighted with their taste qualities of such fruits as: plums, apricots, cherry plums, pears and apples. I must say that already at this time the watermelon season begins and it is at this time that very cheap vegetables are sold here.

In August, everything is balanced, the weather conditions are the most stable and mild. The sea water temperature is around +24ºС, and the air warms up to +30ºС, by the way, the water in the sea at night is also very warm, like fresh milk. The season for watermelons and melons is already in full swing, and grapes and figs are also ripening. Well, how not to tell about everyone's favorite "velvet" season, which begins in September. In central Russia, everyone goes to school, it is already completely felt that summer is over and cold autumn has begun, and in the south at this time summer continues. Lucky vacationers who go on vacation to the south in September - from autumn back to summer. Air and water this month are about the same - the sea is + 20ºС, and the air is + 23ºС. All fruits and vegetables in the markets are very cheap, natural and the most delicious. You can enjoy watermelons, juicy sweet melons, pears, doulas and apples, as well as dark and green grapes. September is considered the last month of summer in the south. At this time, the spearfishing and fishing season begins!

Winter in the Krasnodar Territory is usually warm, almost without snow, sometimes people go outside without outerwear. A lot of tourists come here for the New Year. The air temperature in January is fixed from 0ºС to +10ºС. The winter months here are also called the off-season. Despite the fact that this is not the season, there are excursions, dolphinariums, sanatoriums and health resorts, so it’s never boring here.
