Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Greece is very family-friendly: people love children, there’s a mix of beaches and culture, food is kid-pleasing (think grilled meats, fries, fresh bread, ice cream), and distances between major sights can be manageable if planned well.
The sweet spots for families are spring (April–June) and early fall (September–October). The weather is warm but not extreme, the sea is usually swimmable from late May onward, and crowds and prices are milder than peak summer.
July–August can still be fantastic, but expect higher heat (often 30–35°C / 86–95°F) and more crowds, especially in Athens and on the most famous islands.
For most families, 7–10 days works well (e.g., Athens + 1 island). With 10–14 days, you can slow the pace and add a second island or a mainland region like the Peloponnese or Meteora. Younger kids generally do better with fewer hotel changes.
Great family choices include:
- Naxos & Paros – calm, sandy beaches, laid-back villages, plenty of food options
- Crete – ideal for active families (hiking, beaches, villages, history)
- Rhodes & Corfu – mix of beaches, castles, old towns, and water activities
- Kefalonia – stunning scenery, relaxed atmosphere, excellent beaches
These islands are widely recommended as especially good for families and kids.
Santorini can be wonderful with older kids and teens (views, boat trips, photo spots), but note:
- Many paths are steep with steps
- Beaches are mostly dark volcanic sand or pebbles
- Some areas are more couples/honeymoon-oriented
It’s often best combined with a more beachy, kid-friendly island like Naxos, Paros, or Crete.
Yes, 1–3 nights in Athens is great for families. Kids usually enjoy:
- The Acropolis & Acropolis Museum
- Mythology-focused tours
- Street art or food tours
- The changing of the guard at Syntagma Square
In peak summer, try to visit the Acropolis early morning or late afternoon to avoid mid-day heat and occasional heat-related closures.
Yes. We can tailor experiences to your children’s ages, such as:
- Under 6: Beach time, short walks, playgrounds, simple boat rides
- 6–11: Mythology tours, treasure hunts, farm visits, easy hikes, cooking classes
- Tweens & teens: Sailing trips, watersports, longer hikes, e-bike or ATV tours (where appropriate), food tours
Greece is generally considered very safe for families, including in major tourist areas. Normal precautions, keeping an eye on valuables in crowded spots, supervising kids near roads and water, are usually enough.
