点评:It has been difficult in the past to find a holiday that the whole family enjoys, but when we found this activity holiday in Podstrana with Green World, the boy (17) and girl (15), were immediately excited. The husband grumbled that it would be cheaper to just book our own accommodation and arrange the activities ourselves, but he was missing the point. This is a group holiday for families with teenagers. You get to spend time as a family, but the teenagers have a ready-made gang to hang out with as well. Being with new friends their own age meant there was no moaning, no grumpy moments and sometimes the phones were even abandoned!
The first evening we met our hosts, Maria and Josip, at the pool, where each family warily smiled at each other before being taken to a local beachside restaurant for dinner. The teenagers were put on one table and the adults on another. Within a few minutes they were talking, laughing and getting to know each other whilst the adults chatted. The first day we went kyaking in 2-man kyaks, and straight away the parents were ditched in favour buddying-up with fellow teenagers. On the paddle back we stopped at a huge rock where they encouraged each other to jump off. The other activities were much the same where they gained as much pleasure from the company as they did with the activities themselves. There were generally no organised activities later in the afternoon, so they arranged to either hang out in the pool together or down at the beach on the inflatable assault course. They were not bored and had the freedom to be teenagers in a safe environment!
The hosts were fun, friendly and helpful, and facilitated an amazing, well organised holiday. The activities were run by local companies with great staff. Croatia is a beautiful country. BOOK IT!
翻译:过去,很难找到全家人都喜欢的度假方式,但当我们通过Green World预订了在波德斯特拉纳的亲子度假活动时,17岁的儿子和15岁的女儿立刻兴奋起来。丈夫则抱怨说,自己订住宿并安排活动反而会更便宜,但他没明白重点所在。这是专为有青少年的家庭打造的团体度假活动,目的是让全家人能共度美好时光。不过,这些青少年也有现成的伙伴可以一起玩。能和同龄的新朋友待在一起,意味着他们不会抱怨,也不会闹脾气,有时候甚至会把手机都丢在一边!
第一天晚上,我们在泳池边见到了主人玛丽亚和乔西普。起初,各个家庭都小心翼翼地朝对方微笑,随后便被带到附近的一家海滩餐厅用晚餐。青少年们被安排在一张桌子旁,成年人们则坐在另一张桌子上。没过几分钟,他们就开始聊起来了。大人们在一旁聊天,而孩子们则欢笑着、互相熟悉起来。第一天,我们乘坐双人皮划艇,孩子们立刻甩开了父母,转而与其他青少年结伴而行。回程时,我们在一块巨大的岩石旁停下,他们互相鼓励着从岩石上跳下去。其他活动也大致如此,他们从同伴的陪伴中获得的快乐丝毫不亚于从活动本身中获得的乐趣。通常情况下,下午晚些时候并没有安排任何有组织的活动。于是他们约定要么一起在泳池里玩,要么就在海滩上的充气障碍训练场上嬉戏。他们一点也不无聊,还能在安全的环境中尽情享受青少年时光!
Host们风趣、友善又乐于助人,成功安排了一场精彩且井然有序的假期。各项活动则由当地公司负责组织,工作人员也非常出色。克罗地亚是个美丽的国家。赶紧预订吧!
