We are about to go to Kalkan in Turkey on Saturday for 2 weeks with a 2 year old and a 5 month bump - flying to Dalaman and staying in a villa with a pool near the village/port with lots of restaurants. I can let you know the verdict when we get back! It would certainly still be warm in Sept - the only issue you may have is flying that late on but I guess you just get the doctors certification?


I have been recommended Kalkan by alot of friends - though accommodation is predominantly private villas (i.e not big resort hotels) which suits us at the moment (esp as at 2 she is too young for kids club etc..)

you could try pefkos in rhodes. we have been there a few times and the last time i went i was 5 months pregnant. The best place to stay is pefki islands resort. It is very clean, has two pools and also a further pool in the resort literally a stones throw away (which you can use). The staff are really lovely and friendly and its about a 5-10 minute walk from all the restaurants/bars (but not close enough where you can hear the music etc). Check out the photos at thomsons website

Center Parcs is great, provided your 2-year-old isn't terrified of swimming! We have been several times in the past few years, our kids are now 8mths, 2y10moths and 4y9mths. We usually book at least one creche session for the kids and go to the spa ourselves, and there are loads of other sessions you can go to with the kids like painting and stuff, you have to pay for them though. There are a few of the sporty things suitable for little ones too, like balance bike riding, swimming lessons. Plus you can take it in turns to look after the kids while one of you pops off to the gym or whatever.


It's self catering but there are loads of cafes and restaurants that are all really family friendly with play areas, crayons etc. You can also book a babysitter if you want to go out in the eve or there is a takeaway place too.


Weather not guaranteed though!


Have fun wherever you go!

try Lanzarote Retreats maybe, we are going to one of their villa's in July this year, but they also do yurts which look brilliant, some friends went last year and had a great time. In September it could even be too hot though. I haven't been to lanzarote myself but it is supposed to be very beautiful indeed, if you stay away from the very touristy areas, this company only has places in the nice bits

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
