Three steps
About four minutes, start to finish. You choose a coastline, set the week your family can actually travel, and the planner returns a cost range with its assumptions printed beside it.
Antalya, Bodrum, Sharm El-Sheikh or Hurghada. Each entry lists sea temperature, the walk from hotel to sand, and what a typical afternoon looks like for a six-year-old.
Open the comparison matrixAdd the dates, the number of adults and children, and how much pool time versus sightseeing you want. The brief builder arranges seven days without stacking two long transfers back to back.
Build your trip briefYou get a low and a high bound, not a single headline figure, plus the five rows behind it: flights, lodging, food, local transport and activities.

Resort areas
Each area is scored with children in mind: how far the shallow water reaches, how long the airport transfer runs, and how a typical August week feels on the sand.
Turkey
Kid-fit 5 of 5
Lara and Konyaalti keep toddlers in ankle-deep water for metres, with the shortest airport transfer on the Turkish coast.
Compare AntalyaTurkey
Kid-fit 4 of 5
Calmer Aegean swell and a compact peninsula, though the sea deepens sooner than on the Antalya side.
Compare BodrumTurkey
Kid-fit 4 of 5
Sandy beach beside Roman ruins and a small walkable centre that works well with a stroller.

Pine-backed shoreline built for resorts, with quiet water and short drives to everything a family needs.

Kid-fit 4 of 5
Lagoon-style bays stay shallow and warm, which makes winter and spring school breaks genuinely swimmable.

Naama Bay is easy going, but reef drop-offs begin close to shore, so pick a beach with lifeguards.

Seven days in Antalya, written the way the planner writes them: transfer times, sea temperatures, and the hours that matter with small children.
Day 1
Air 33 °C, sea 27 °C. The airport run to Lara takes 25 minutes, so there is time to swim before dinner.
Day 2
Air 31 °C. The flat paving in Kaleici suits a stroller. Back at the hotel for the nap window.
Day 3
Air 34 °C, sea 28 °C. The lagoon shelves gently, so a small child can stand well away from the swell.
Day 4
Air 30 °C. Half a day out of the sun. Buy tickets the evening before and walk in at ten.
Day 5
Air 32 °C, water calm. Life jackets come in child sizes. Morning departures are back before the heat peaks.
Day 6
Air 29 °C. Fruit and flatbread in the morning, pool and an early dinner after the nap.
Day 7
Air 33 °C. Swim after breakfast, bags packed by noon. Late checkout often costs less than a day room.
