August is the last month of summer, the time of the velvet season. During this period, you can go to almost any resort, both Russian and foreign, since the temperature and climate allow you to enjoy your vacation in warm sunshine at this time.
Although the choice of places to stay with your child in August is quite large, I will advise you to go to the sea abroad to Italy. Namely, in southern Italy.
It is calmer than the north, there is a cleaner sea, good beaches, delicious local cuisine and most importantly – these are affordable prices, the criterion is inexpensive, sometimes the most important!
Take a plane flight from Moscow to Naples, and then transfer by bus to Sorrento. This small Italian city became famous thanks to the songs composed about it. Yes, and the songs sing all the beauty and charm of this city. Sorrento is a magnificent nature, clean air, beautiful beach landscapes, clear sea water. There are many places in the city where you can have a great time and relax. That’s where you need to relax with your family!
Sorrento has a lot of different cafes and restaurants where they cook excellent Italian national dishes. Italian cuisine is a different story. Cooking is based on the most delicious vegetables that ripen only in this region – red juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers. Together, these products give a unique taste to dishes. It is definitely worth a try! An Italian family trip is a great celebration for the stomachs of all family members.
It is worth saying that Italian pizza in the south of Italy is prepared differently, depending on the place where it is cooked. In Naples, for example, cheese pizzas are preferred, while Neapolitans emphasize the variety of tastes of various types of cheese. The composition of the famous Caprice salad, which is considered the national pride of southern Italy, will also differ here. Be sure to try it.
Some believe that the most interesting in terms of excursions is northern Italy. However, this opinion is erroneous. Southern Italy is a storehouse of interesting places that will be interesting to visit for many tourists who come here, especially if adults travel with children. So, for example, in Naples there is a National Museum, the Cathedral of St. January, Santa Chiara and many other places of interest for family visits. Naples is not far from Sorrento, so you can easily get to it by bus in a couple of hours and visit these places. By the way, tourist excursion buses depart from Sorrento.
Sightseeing programs of travel companies in Sorrento also offer trips to the famous volcano Vesuvius. This educational tour will be interesting for schoolchildren. You will be taken by a sightseeing bus almost to the top of the volcano, then you will independently make a small ascent to the very top of the historical crater, which many years ago, according to history, took the life of the old city of Pompeii.
A separate excursion is organized to Pompeii, or rather to the ruins of the city of Pompeii. It will also be interesting for schoolchildren studying the history of the ancient world. Children with their own eyes can see what this famous city looked like, what it was like – what were the ancient streets, what the locals were doing, what was the life of the locals and everything else.
Choose the southern direction of Italy for your family vacation in August, and you will get a lot of positive emotions, vivid impressions and a tremendous sense of joy from a wonderful vacation.
