Nice place to holiday in the North of Poland? [26]
Hi Guys,
My Polish isn't good enough so this one's going to be in English!
Is there any place with a nice beach near a small town that you could recommend for a holiday for a few days in the North of Poland? Some place that would be safe for two kids to play, a place where you can get a good night's sleep, and where you could maybe walk into the town in the evening for dinner? I've heard of Sopot, but is that more like a big busy city?
The other option is this - is there some really nice quiet town in the Mazury on the lakes that anyone could recommend?
Basically I need to advise a few people about what to do in Poland next July as there is a big gang of us going over to Augustow for a wedding. I know that part of Poland pretty well. I will need to advise a lot of uncles and aunties about where they could spend a few days somewhere else before coming over to the wedding as they want to see a bit of Poland. None of these people have been there before. Most of them will rent a car from either Gdansk, Warsaw or Kaunas(Kowno) so they will be independent. I just need to tell them where would be good... and importantly some place that they won't get lost and frustrated because of the language barrier. I would love to just tell them to go to Lake Wigry or something, and while I thought it was great, I had the luxury of being with Polish people that knew their way around... but nobody spoke English there, and it's just not an option and it wouldn't be fair to cousins to send them there.
So, Sell Poland to me as a tourist destination.
All options considered. Thanks in advance!
