Greece is the perfect destination for family holidays, offering a mix of stunning beaches, exciting water sports, unspoiled natural beauty and rich historical sites. Whether you're drawn to the sun-kissed sands and crystal-clear seas, or just looking to keep the kids entertained, Greece has something for everyone.
Family holidays to Greece can include trips to waterparks, zoos, wildlife reserves, and boat trips, ensuring that boredom is never an option. For a relaxing beach holiday, Rhodes is an excellent choice. You can spend your day lounging on the beautiful shores, while the kids enjoy various activities run by the hotel’s animation team.
There’s an abundance of hotels in Greece offering family-friendly amenities like separate pools for the children and All Inclusive dining, complete with a kids buffet. Mitsis offer family favourite hotels in Rhodes, Crete and Kos. If you want to take the kids but still want some adult only R&R time consider an option like Exotica Hotel and Spa by Zante Plaza with both kiddie and grown ups only areas.
If you’re on a budget, there’s self-catering options like Coralli Apartments, just down the road from Rhodes Town, where there’s plenty to see and do. Nearby is the Bee Museum, where the whole family can learn about beekeeping and the production of Winnie The Pooh's favourite food. The kids will be bouncing around like Tigger afterwards! Maybe buy some Melekouni as a present for friends and family back home?
Some of the best family holidays in Greece are located on the islands. However, if the kids have been learning about the Ancient Greeks at school, why not take them to explore the historic sites of Athens, so they can see temples and monuments first hand? If you’re looking for sea and sand don’t worry - just make the short hop to Glyfada, which has the added bonus of a sea turtle centre, caring for injured reptiles until they can be released back into the wild.
