Full Board Holidays to Greece

These resorts work well on full board because their dining rooms, terraces and daily routines are built around the hotel rather than the street outside.

• Rhodes, Faliraki: Faliraki sits roughly 15 km from Rhodes Town and offers a dense cluster of resort hotels with large buffet restaurants, pool bars and easy walking access to beaches. Full board here suits guests who want to eat within the resort on most days and keep the rest of their budget for excursions. The trade-off is that the strip can feel busy in peak summer, so we recommend choosing a hotel set slightly back from the main road. For a straightforward full board stay with plenty of dining choice, it remains one of our most reliable options. It is exactly the brief our Rhodes holidays deals are built around.
• Corfu, Dassia: Dassia on Corfu's east coast is a quieter resort with a long sandy beach and a small number of established hotels that run full board restaurants with table service. Because the resort is compact, you can walk to tavernas and a few shops, which gives you a useful balance between hotel dining and an occasional evening out. Expect a calmer atmosphere than the busier resorts further south, which many couples and families prefer. We favour Dassia for guests who value a relaxed setting with dependable board options.

• Crete, Malia: Malia on Crete's north coast has a lively resort centre with several large hotels offering full board buffets, a choice of evening restaurants and good access to long sandy beaches. Heraklion airport is roughly an hour's drive away, so transfer time is a factor when you choose your hotel. Full board here works well because the resort has enough hotel stock to offer varied dinners across the week. It is a strong pick for families who want the flexibility of an all-round resort.

• Halkidiki, Kallithea: Kallithea on the Halkidiki peninsula in northern Greece has sandy beaches shelving gently into the sea and a set of resort hotels that run full board dining with a strong focus on family meals. Thessaloniki airport is the main access point, so the journey is longer than to the southern islands, but the calmer pace and shallow bays make it a comfortable base. Hotel dining is the natural centre of the day here, as self-catering options are more limited than in Athens. We recommend it for families who want a steady routine.

• Mykonos Town: Mykonos Town has the island's densest concentration of dining, but most full board hotels sit a short distance from the old town, so guests usually split their meals between the hotel and the harbour. A full board plan covers breakfast and dinner at the property, while lunch and evening drinks are often spent in town at your own cost. This works well for couples who want a hotel base with easy access to nightlife and waterfront restaurants. Book the hotel's full board only if you expect to eat in regularly, as the most popular evening spots can be expensive. It is exactly the brief our Greece Luxury Holidays deals are built around.
