I have to be honest, when I think about child-friendly holidays Greece
isn't the first place that comes to mind but actually, when you start to
investigate and look a little deeper Greece is a wonderful place to take all
the family. Be it the mainland or an island, there is such diversity of the
places to visit. Some of the islands are developed and ready to embrace
British culture and families, but others still remain traditionally Greek and
very unspoilt.
Greece has everything that you need for a stress-free family holiday - sun, white sand beaches, beautifully clean and warm seas, hotels with children's clubs and amazing pools, friendly locals, stunning villas and history in abundance. Alpharooms have a good guide to Greece for you to check out.
Here are a few of my Greek highlights for places to stay and visit -
Crete
This is one of the largest Greek islands and has something for everyone, couple this with its low crime-rate and it is an island where you can feel safe to take your family. Across the island you have Acqua Plus for waterpark thrills, Dinosauria park for the younger ones and amazing underground caves at Dikteon. Depednign on the age of your children, one of these is sure to be a hit.
You also have the beach lagoon at Elafonisi which many hail as the best beach in the whole of Greece, and there are hundreds and hundreds of islands with amazing beaches, so that is no easy accolade! It is exceptional as it is a long narrow peninsula with white sandy beaches on both sides. At times to reach the island you have to walk through the sea and of course kids love the excitement this brings.
