Greece is an ideal destination for a family holiday, with its sandy beaches, spectacular landscapes, warm hospitality and white villages with blue shutters. From Crete to the Cyclades, in the Aegean Sea's turquoise waters, every stay in Greece is a unique experience combining nature, culture and luxury, enhanced by Villanovo's exclusive villas.
Greece enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, ideal from April to July for families with children. The unique light of the "Land of the Gods" illuminates olive groves, whitewashed villages and ancient Greek UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
From turquoise waters to sandy beaches, the Greek islands offer the perfect setting for a trip to Greece with your little ones. Water sports, swimming and quiet coves are ideal for a weekend break or a longer holiday in Greece. Each island has its own unique charm, and all are worth discovering during your trip to the Cyclades.
Between exploring Athens with the family, the bustling streets of authentic towns, monasteries, ancient frescoes and archaeological museums, Greece combines a culture that is unique in the world with nature and numerous activities. Children are already familiar with this heritage through mythology, making each visit even more captivating and lively for them.
Crete, a generous island with spectacular landscapes, combines hiking in the Samaria Gorge, the pink-sand beaches of Elafonisi and authentic villages surrounded by olive groves. It is a real favourite for families looking to get away from it all.
Beyond its festive lifestyle, Mykonos brims with Cycladic charm, ideal for a family holiday in Greece: streets lined with typical whitewashed homes and blue shutters plus the shallow warm waters at Agios Stefanos beach.
Set among green hills, gentle seas and villages with Venetian architecture, the Ionian Islands offer a peaceful family experience. In Corfu, discover citadels and lush gardens; in Zakynthos, golden beaches and sea caves; and in Lefkada, spectacular cliffs and secluded coves.
Visit Paros for its calm charm and beautiful harbour, Naxos for its water sports (kayaking, kitesurfing, windsurfing, diving), or Santorini for its unforgettable sunsets. The Cyclades offer a mosaic of ideal settings for a family holiday in the Greek Islands.
Private cruises and catamaran trips between the Greek islands offer unique moments on the water. To discover the authentic charm of traditional streets and houses, nothing beats a stroll through the whitewashed villages. Finally, cultural visits, wine tastings and cooking classes will make your trip to Greece an unforgettable experience for young and old alike.
From the idyllic beaches of Balos in Crete to Myrtos in Kefalonia, families enjoy swimming in Greece's turquoise waters. In Naxos and Paros, peaceful coves provide the perfect setting for admiring the scenery or water sports such as snorkelling. Yoga by the sea, spas and sunsets in Oia or Paleokastritsa offer moments of pure bliss.
