Family Holidays in Greece: find your perfect rental from just £34 per night!
Greece has around 6,000 islands, of which Crete, Santorini, and Corfu are among the largest and most popular. These islands feature warm summers and mild winters, making them suitable for family holidays in Greece any time of year.
This elongated island, located in the Mediterranean Sea between mainland Greece and the North African coast, abounds with beaches suitable for children. Located about 70km southwest of Chania, Elafonisi features shallow waters and sand dunes. Located in a bay, Varkotopos, around 30km east of Heraklion, is an organised beach with calm and shallow waters. Skisma Beach, near Agios Nikolaos, features a children's playground.
Known as the "Green Island," Corfu is the northernmost Ionian island. Paleokastritsa has two beaches: one faces the open sea, while the other occupies a secluded bay nearby, featuring calmer waters. Beaches near Glyfada are child-friendly in particular. Agios Gordios Beach, some 15km to the south of Glyfada, features verdant olive trees and vineyards, soft sand, and water sports.
Santorini, the most famous of the Cyclades Islands in the Aegean Sea, is among the top destinations in Greece for family holidays. The island boasts many colourful beaches, with shades of red, black, and white contrasting against the blue sea. Take a boat trip to visit the Red and White beaches near the archaeological site of Akrotiri. Make sure to visit Santorini's beaches with kids in the morning, since the volcanic sand tends to become hotter during the afternoon.
