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

The city with the beautiful name of Larissa is a great place to spend a vacation. It has many historical and cultural attractions that are definitely worth being explored. Be sure to take kids with you to let them see the remarkable sites, learn the history and appreciate the aesthetic component from childhood. It is also worth noting that the city lies near the Aegean Sea, and its territory boasts several beautiful beaches where parents have a great time with their children.

One of those is Agioi Saranta (ιγιοι Σαράντα). The beach is striking with its unimaginably clean sand and the same water (its color changes with distance from the coast - from azure to turquoise). The beach is quite shady so you can sunbathe here only in the morning or during the daytime. A picturesque bay is what many people visit this beach for. Well, also for the fact that it is not so crowded. At the edge of the beach, one can find a bar where you can grab a bite to eat if suddenly someone from your family is getting hungry.

If you are traveling to the city in winter, such a place as Δημοτικο ολυμβητηριο is a must-have. This is a complex primarily attractive to the smallest tourists due to the opportunity to enjoy swimming to its fullest. In addition to the pool (one small and one large pool), you can find a recreation room in the center. Relatively close to the complex is the playground Παιδική χαρ Αμπελοκήπων where children of any age are warmly welcome. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Alcazar Park (Πάρκο ζάλκαρ)provides another interesting playground for the smallest kids. While children are busy in the playground, their parents can have lunch at a cafe located nearby. Besides that, the park provides excellent locations for cycling and walking. Last but not least, the atmosphere for that is created by lovely leisure areas, amazingly beautiful ponds, and a 2,500-seat open-air cinema where theater performances are held in summer and spring. Here you can also play volleyball or have a family picnic.

One more place is ideal for walking here - we are talking about the botanical garden Βοτανική Συλλογή. It can be found within the above-mentioned park, and it is from here that one can enjoy unbelievably beautiful views of the mountain peaks surrounding the Greek city of Larissa. It's also worth taking children for a walk to Chatzichalar park (Πάρκο Χατζηχαλρ). This is a huge park with excellent opportunities where kids are free to play on the playground and swings, as well as walk with their parents in the park admiring extraordinary beautiful views. Besides, adults can just sit on a bench and have a chat while watching the kids.

The Folklore Museum of Larissa (Λαογραφικό Ιστορικό Μουσείο Λάρισας) is another place worth visiting that would be of interest not only to adults. It hosts an exhibition devoted to the recent history of Greece, its purpose is to preserve the pre-industrial culture in the country. Nearby is the entertainment center Super Bowl where the whole family can play bowling. Another interesting museum for families is the Museum of Military Veterinary Service (Μουσειο Στρατιωτικησ Κτηνιατρικησ πηρεσιασ) where one can learn a lot of new information about how animals helped people during various wars.

Pampering the kids with delicious sweets is something parents should do while in Larissa. All the more so, as Larissa has many places perfectly suitable for that. Thus, for great pancakes and pies, go to Las Ramblas, for excellent pastries - to Bruno Coffee Stores, and if you want to taste amazingly delicious cakes, then be sure to explore Konstantinidis. If a child wants to taste wonderful cakes, he or she should be taken to Amical Cafe Bistro.
