On the island of Korcula, on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, is a fantastic place for a family holiday in Europe. Korcula is easily accessible from Split or Dubrovnik Airport and will experience a rapid increase in 2012 due to the number of airplanes on the destinations. This news is a bigger choice in flight times and cheaper ticket prices, both of which are important aspects of family vacation planning.
Korcula is an excellent choice for family vacations, all budgets, from campsites to large, secluded villas to swimming pools. For self-catered families it is a good option and many affordable apartments and houses can be rented on the island. Virtually self-catered families provide more flexibility to families during meals, more space than a standard hotel room and privacy to come and go as you like all day. Korcula's favorite selection includes a large, rustic-style house in a beautiful bay near Pupnat village, allowing the whole family to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings; A luxurious and friendly villa in Racisce, with many modern amenities and plenty of indoor and outdoor space, so every family member has their own breathing room; And good value for money modern apartments with large open kitchen, dining and living room, close to the sea in family friendly Lumbarda.
Although all the towns and villages of Korcula are ideal for families for holidays, Lumbarda is probably one of the best options for traveling with younger children. Lumbarda is less busy than Korcula, while there are many restaurants, cafés and entertainment facilities; There are shallow sandy beaches, while the island is mostly pebbly and the water is suddenly sinking deep and everything is approaching. During the summer, Lumbarda's tourist camp offers numerous family events, a personal favorite for the donkey competition (children and adults!). There are some amazing ally amusing water lilies that slide, slide and jump off the beach of Bili Zal on Lumbarda.
Of course, in Korcula, most of the activities take place on the coast or on the sea. Entertaining children can sometimes challenge, but can activate them in water by snorkelling, swimming or kayaking. Beach toys such as volleyball, bat and ball games, or the old sandy mansion on sandy beaches are a pleasant way to spend the day. Just make sure there are plenty of drowsing lotions and stay out at a strong noon day. The fun-filled days of Korcula can include boat excursions to the nearby Skoji Islands and the strange, enchanting rocks in Kocije's natural park, Zrnovo or the cycling route along the stunning coastline, or two of Korcula's delicious ice-cream.
After a day on the beach or pedaling a beautiful Korcula countryside, there is nothing nice to go back to your own (19459003) holiday home maybe for grilling Fresh fish or card games on the terrace watching the day gently. These are moments when you really appreciate your family vacation.
