03 / Resort shortlist

Four resorts that hold up across a seven-day family week

Same three checks on every row: who watches the children, what the water does at the shoreline, and what the week costs. Confirmed lines only. Unconfirmed lines never move a price band.

Shaded toddler pool deck at a family resort on the Turkish Riviera
Shaded toddler pool, Belek. Verified on site in March.

Three rows were confirmed by a partner agency in March; the Cornelia club age stays unconfirmed and out of its price band. Compare every criterion in the Turkey and Egypt comparison, or send your week through the planning brief.

04 / Logistics

Flights, visas and clinics from Ukrainian departure cities

The same four themes on both coasts, in the same order and the same units. Every line carries a source dot and the date we last checked it. Lines we could not confirm stay marked open and never feed a price band.

Kyiv

Boryspil and Zhuliany. Antalya 2 h 05. Hurghada 3 h 50. Return fares per adult, mid-June: UAH 13,400 to 21,900.

Checked 12 Feb 2026 Antalya to Side 55 to 70 min by coach. Hurghada to Sahl Hasheesh 25 min.

Odesa

Odesa airport. Antalya 1 h 45. Hurghada 4 h 05. Return fares per adult, mid-June: UAH 12,600 to 20,400.

Checked 12 Feb 2026 Charter seats release in waves. We note the wave, the licensed agency sells it.

Lviv

Danylo Halytskyi. Antalya 2 h 20. Hurghada 4 h 10. Return fares per adult, mid-June: UAH 14,900 to 23,200.

Checked 12 Feb 2026 Late arrivals push the hotel transfer past midnight, so we flag those weeks.

Visa and entry

Turkey: visa-free stay up to 90 days in any 180 for Ukrainian passports, passport valid 150 days beyond entry. Egypt: visa on arrival, passport valid 6 months.

Reconfirmed 12 Feb 2026 Both rules move without notice. We recheck before you pay a deposit.

Currency

Turkey bills in Turkish lira, Egypt in Egyptian pounds. Resorts quote in EUR or USD, so the lira and pound rates decide what the market trip costs.

Checked 12 Feb 2026 Cards work inside resorts. Carry cash for taxis, pharmacies and small shops.

Medical

Turkey: multi-language clinics in Antalya, Side and Belek, most insurers direct-bill. Egypt: hospitals in Hurghada and El Gouna, 20 to 45 min from the main resort bays.

Checked 12 Feb 2026 Confirm the policy covers paediatric care and read the clinic list before booking.

We draft, plan and annotate. Partner agencies licensed by TURSAB or the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism take the booking. Send us a city and a month and we will recheck these lines for your week.
