Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations on a family holiday mid-haul with 2 young children (currently 4 and 2)? I am getting a bit fed up of doing your bog-standard all inclusive holiday to Spain:Majorca/Ibiza etc-all very 'samey' and getting increasingly more expensive as the children get older.i have said to dh I'd rather go on holiday every other year meaning with extra time to save we could afford to go on a slightly better holiday(imo).struggling to think of where we'd like to go though -even when we went to Dominican Republic before the kids the resort was very similar to some of the European all inclusives.i'm not sure of turkey or Tunisia as worries about safety and they don't really make me feel that I 'have to go there' iyswim.i like the idea of Egypt but dh not keen due to all the hagglers he perceives being there.the thought of Dubai or Lapland (extremely different I know!) appeal to me.

Just from now on I have decided if we're going to spend out on a holiday I'd rather spend a bit extra and go less frequently to make it worth it.

Kalkan in south east turkey - divine. They're so friendly with the kids and our whole family...if my dad goes for a walk into the village, someone at some point will sit him down with a cold drink and have a chat (he's in his 80's)... Our kids love it, the beach clubs are good, my husband takes his grandkids 3 and 1 sailing for the whole day, the food is fresh and gorgeous, the beach/ park are lovely - perfect! And the shops are also fabulous!

Our kids are much older but we are off to Poland this year, which is something quite different for us
