Easter Holidays to Greece

These resort areas combine sandy beaches, easy facilities and simple access for families travelling with children during the Easter break.

• Chalkidiki: Chalkidiki is a peninsula in northern Greece with three finger-shaped headlands and sandy beaches that shelve gently into the sea, which suits younger children well. The main access point is the regional airport serving the city, and transfers to the resorts are generally straightforward. Because the north is cooler than the islands in early spring, we suggest timing the trip later in the Easter period and packing layers. For families who want calm shallow water and resort facilities, the peninsula is a dependable choice. It is exactly the brief our Greece Family Holidays deals are built around.
• Beaches: This Mediterranean island's northern shoreline offers long sandy beaches and family-friendly resorts within a short drive of the main airport gateway. The area offers a practical mix of restaurants, supermarkets and beach access without the intensity of the busiest party resorts. Transfers from the airport are relatively short, which keeps the start of the holiday relaxed. For families wanting a balance of beach time and easy day trips, this coastline is worth considering.
• Beaches: The main town on this Ionian island gives families a walkable base with Venetian architecture, a fortress and plenty of places to eat. Sandy beaches and shallow bays are a short distance away along the island's coasts. The town suits families who want culture and evening atmosphere alongside a daytime beach trip. We recommend it for parents who prefer a lively but manageable base over an isolated resort.
• Resorts: A resort strip on the east coast of the island, Faliraki, has sandy beaches and a large selection of family hotels, with the medieval Old Town a short drive away. The resort offers water sports, supermarkets and eateries suited to children, and transfers from the airport are well established. Its livelier strip can be busier than quieter villages, so families should choose their hotel location carefully. For a resort with plenty of facilities and easy access to history, this option is sound, and it is exactly the kind of brief our Greece holidays deals are built around.
• Family sites: The Panathenaic Stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and is a memorable stop for children interested in sport and history. Museums and the Acropolis nearby offer plenty of structured activity, and the metro makes getting around simple with a family. Visiting in the morning avoids the strongest midday heat. For families who want a city base with educational sights, the capital is hard to beat. It is exactly the brief our Greece Adults Only Holidays deals are built around.
