Greece is the great vacation destination in Europe. It has serious competitors but it is the only one that can combine excellent beaches and islands with history. Thus, as an island vacation destination there is no one who makes it great competition.
The Greek islands are great to go as a couple, with friends or as a family but it is true that you must choose the destination well according to your companions. That is, if you want to go partying to a family island, you will get very bored and if you want to go to rest in Mykonos well ... it will be complicated. So, thinking about family vacations, what are the best greek islands for family vacations?
- Rhodes: Rhodes is in the Dodecanese and its east coast is extensive, has golden sand beaches and warm waters, quiet and low. There are all-inclusive hotels with a children's club and offer of family activities and an old city with cobbled streets that is beautiful to walk around.
- Crete: The island has been inhabited for thousands of years and has been the cradle of the Mycenaean civilization. It has ruins and archeology museums that are very interesting but if you do not want to put the children in many museums you can choose to take the walk through the Dikteon Cave and appreciate its stalactites and stalagmites. A beauty.
- Corfu: This enchanting island in the Ionians is ideal for tight budgets. It has a wide variety of beaches, from sandy beaches to pebbly beaches, from calm water beaches to beaches with fantastic rock formations. There is an outdoor cinema for children, in summer, perfect for the little ones.
- Paxos: It is another island of the Ionian ideal to be in a rented house and rest with the family. It is not a very commercial destination so if you like to do and do things with children, it is not convenient for you. The waters are turquoise and the beaches are pebbled and its three main towns are connected by trails. If you do not stay and you only go to visit, I will tell you that in the middle of summer it usually has many visitors.
