Long stretches of sand can be hard to find in Europe, where much of the coastline is rocky. So the prevalence of inviting shorelines and calm waves is exactly why families flock to Crete for a relaxing, kid-friendly beach vacation. Do make time to drag yourself away from the water, though, in order to explore Greece’s largest island. Take a hike through the mountains, visit the fabled birthplace of Zeus and tour one of the villages that date back to the Bronze Age.

This combination of exploration and relaxation makes Crete one of the best destinations in Greece. Opt for one of the many family-centered resorts that are prevalent in Crete — you’ll love the kid-friendly, laid-back atmosphere and onsite amenities.

Coronavirus Update

This is a challenging time for our clients given the uncertainty around the spread of coronavirus, particularly for those with near-term travel plans in impacted areas. We’re working with our suppliers on being flexible with their booking conditions, and enabling families to postpone travel to a later date without a penalty, when possible. Likewise, given the unpredictability around destinations that may be impacted in the future, we’re helping clients planning new trips and understand ways that they can protect themselves until the situation improves. We are ready to help our clients work through questions and concerns.
