Poland is absolutely fabulous for families because so many activities are less expensive than back home in the UK or the States. It's also a relatively safe holiday destination although health and safety legislation does not apply to the degree as it does in other countries. For example, we have seen people riding horses without helmets, children wandering alone in the woods. It's all very nice and a world away from society in many other parts of the world. Southern Poland is a great destination all year round. There are plenty of festivals and folk culture to entertain and amuse with a self-catering holiday at Christmas, New Year, Easter and many dates associated with saints days. |
