… or "Against"?
Karelia is a fairly northern region. Even at the height of summer, the water in the local reservoirs does not dispose to prolonged bathing of babies, and night temperatures require a supply of warm clothes. Discomfort can be caused by mosquitoes and midges, which become active in the local forests in May and do not recede until mid-autumn.
Preparing properly
In the tourist luggage for holidays in Karelia with children, you need to find a place for special insect repellents. It is worth stocking up on indoor repellents and thick clothing for walking in the forest. High boots or boots will also not be superfluous, because snakes are often found in the forests, the bites of which, although not dangerous, are very unpleasant. It is worth taking with you antiallergic drugs.
Passwords, appearances, addresses
Many tourist centers are suitable for rest in Karelia with children, but travelers give the best recommendations to the Sandal and Satama complexes. These recreation centers are located on the shores of lakes not too far from Petrozavodsk and are equipped with cottages, playgrounds and have a fairly gentle entrance to the water and a shallow depth near the shore. The administration of the tourist centers helps with the organization of excursions to the most interesting places in the republic.
The resort "Marcial Waters", founded by Peter the Great, is best suited for medical and recreational recreation, and Kizhi and the island of Valaam for sightseeing trips.
