Family holidays are where Greece can really show off its warmth, comfort and fantastic culture. From a little fun in the sun to the educational value of its ruins and ancient cities, Greece holidays have much to offer your family during an overseas escape. To help inspire you, take a look at some of our favourite family-friendly hotels and resorts among the Greek islands.
Holiday Village Rhodes
A five minute walk from the beach and under 10 minutes’ drive from one of the best and most peaceful parks on Rhodes, this is a real retreat. The hotel divides its 300-plus rooms between Activity, Relax and Deluxe zones, to eloquently match your travel style.
Adventure is the name of the game here though, so expect to partake in tennis, football, canoeing or raft-building. The star attraction is the onsite waterpark, where slides and chutes thread their way around the four pools at the heart of the resort.

Planos Bay
This is a gorgeous, affordable part of Zante, just five minutes’ drive from the beach and five minutes’ walk from a waterpark. Such a great combination of good attractions and quiet seclusion makes this popular for families with little ones that seem a little shy.
That said, the kids get their own disco here and the entertainment options are top notch. In-keeping with the classy Greek surroundings at this hotel, the evenings are livened up with song, dance and comedy. The food is richly authentic, but you can also get a full English breakfast, too.

Atlantica Akti Zeus Hotel
This waterfront hotel in Crete is right on the beach and for all its style and luxury, it’s definitely somewhere where the kids come first. Two pools and terrific dining options give the folks somewhere to unwind, to say nothing of the bars, but as far as kids’ activities go at this hotel, the range is exceptional.
As well as the onsite waterpark of chutes, slides and spray, there are discos, talent shows, arts and crafts and sheltered play areas, out of the sun and all designed with the kids in mind.

Family Life Kerkyra
Surrounded by the gorgeous landscapes and sea views, this seafront hotel is beautifully serene for a luxury Corfu holiday.
Big gardens full of trees, flowers and sunshine are a great way to coax kids away from their tech screens, while the pools cater to all ages, thanks to a special splash pool for little ones. Dining is especially diverse here, offering fast food for fussy palates, traditional Greek cuisine for those doing as the locals do and Asian food, to really spice up your options.

Holiday Village Kos
The beauty and serenity of Kos and one of its best beaches is yours to savour here. With the coast just over the road, you’re never far from the sun and surf, but there’s plenty to enjoy onsite at this hotel, too.
Little ones can get stuck into the kids’ club, as well as the onsite waterpark with its slides and fun. There are three pools to enjoy too, with homegrown Greek cuisine and an American diner available to sustain even the biggest and pickiest of appetites.
