Family trip to Loutraki with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Loutraki is the most ancient Greek city that has been famous for its hot springs since the days of the Roman Empire. Of course, it is primarily interesting from a historical point of view - there are many ancient monuments and ongoing archaeological excavations in the city and its environs. Family vacations spent here will surely be remembered for a long time. Together with kids, you can explore remarkable sites, stroll through historical places, and visit entertainment centers.

It’d be a great idea to take small tourists on a tour of the Archaeological Museum of Isthma (Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Ισθμίας). A large number of archaeological finds related to the ancient world is collected here. It is worthy of note that the temple of Poseidon was formerly located on the site of the museum. This is a great place for schoolchildren who can learn a lot of new information about the history of Greece and later show off their knowledge at school surprising even teachers with some facts.

The Historical and Folklore Museum of Corinth (Λαογραφικό Μουσείο Κορίνθου) is no less interesting. It is dedicated not to ancient times but modern age. Here you can see ethnic costumes of different peoples, traditional Greek patterns, and get acquainted with the life of ordinary Greek people. No one should miss their chance to take a walk in Parko Deksamenis (Πάρκο Δεξαμενής). Here you can find a tennis court and a playground, thanks to which little travelers will certainly not be bored here. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Splash Water Park offers water attractions for every taste and all age groups. Kids from 1 to 6 years and older children, and, of course, adults, will love the time spent here. However, adults would rather prefer sunbathing while sipping refreshing drinks and watching the kids. A nice cafe can be found on site. Another water park is called Water Fun. It is not big but still pretty spacious. Several interesting water attractions are available for visitors, including the “black pipe”). The park is largely aimed at children from 1 year to 10 years old.

Fans of active pastime can head to the 698 ΑΒΠ Shooting Range (Σκοπευτήριο ΠΒ 698 ΑΒΠ Κορίνθου), while Lake Wooligmeni awaits connoisseurs of natural landscapes. It is incredibly picturesque so spending here the whole day is a pretty common practice. You can swim and take sunbaths, and, of course, enjoy indescribable panoramic views. The beach of the lake is popular among scuba divers. Everyone can also follow their example, especially since this is one of the best dive sites in the area. A lot of cafes for every taste operate on the coast, so neither kids nor adults will suffer from hunger.

But the most popular tourist spot among both families and those traveling alone is Loutraki Beach - a fabulous place where everyone can have a fabulous time. Although the beach is relatively small and narrow, it is very popular among tourists and local residents. Entertainments available here suit every taste - if you wish, you can soak up the Greek sun, swim in the waters of the Gulf of Corinth, enjoy sports activities or have a bite to eat at a local cafe (seafood is a must-try).

By the way, if you want the kids to remember a great vacation in the most ancient city of Greece, be sure to take them to several places offering great desserts. It's worth trying very tasty ice cream in Yogo Frozen. However, Gelateria Dolci Passioni and Dolcelato Gelateria Artigianale Loutraki are also great places for that. Papadakis Patisserie is open especially for fans of pastries. To Ergastiri tis Tiropitas welcomes all parents who want to pamper kids with delicious cakes.
