Greece family holidays

Best activities in Greece for families

Greece is undeniably a paradise for families. With fantastic weather, stunning beaches, delicious food and a population that loves children, it's no wonder it's a top family destination. Unlike other beach destinations, Greece boasts a rich history you can explore together. Kids will be amazed by exploring the Minotaur's Labyrinth at Knossos, Crete, or by participating in pottery-making workshops in Rhodes. Venture away from the coast to discover hidden villages with traditional charm, or embark on exciting watersports adventures like windsurfing or kitesurfing. Greece offers a unique blend of relaxation, cultural immersion and adventure, ensuring your family creates unforgettable memories.

Best destinations in Greece for Families

While Greece as a whole is great for families, some destinations stand out. Here are our favourites. Athens, home to the famous Parthenon, is a hit with kids. They'll love stepping back in time by climbing the Acropolis rock or exploring the Ancient Agora. Athens also serves as an excellent starting point for walking, cycling, road, or sailing tours. If your family craves a traditional beach holiday, head to one of the Cyclades islands such as Santorini or Mykonos, where pristine beaches offering every conceivable type of water sport abound. Other islands like Crete or Rhodes are fantastic family locations for longer stays due to their size and diversity, offering something new to discover every day.
