WHERE TO GO: GREECE
Only a short distance from Athens, the Peloponnese coast is one of the most
popular tourist destinations on the Greek mainland – all year long. Visitors of all
ages will love visiting some of the most important archaeological sites this historic
country has to offer, like Olympia, Mycenae, and Epidaurus.
The beaches here are second to none, with sea surrounding the region on almost
all sides. Many of these beach towns boast a spectacular medieval heritage, with
impressive architecture that makes for a nice change of pace compared to more
traditional seaside hotspots. With sandy coves, crystal water, and limited tourist
facilities, the Peloponnese coast is the perfect destination for a relaxing family
holiday.
WHERE TO STAY: THE ROMANOS
Immerse your family in traditional Greek architecture – marble, mosaic tiles, and
traditional white columns – while you enjoy the many luxuries of this exceptional
resort, including two signature golf courses, authentic cultural experiences,
adventurous leisure activities, and more, set against the spectacular backdrop of the
Ionian Sea.
Each generation of your family will love teaming up with local Messinia women
to prepare traditional Greek dishes – learning recipes you’ll be able to create again
and again back at home as you relive this authentic experience. With the “Messinia
Wild Experience,” your little ones won’t even notice how much they’re learning as
an experienced handler helps them interact with local birds of prey. It’s the perfect
opportunity for the whole family to find out more about the stunning Peloponnese
coast – and the people and creatures that call it home.
Then, breathe in the sea air aboard one of the resort’s exclusive yachts.
Accompanied by an experienced crew, the whole family can head out for an
afternoon cruise or spend a couple of days discovering the secrets hidden beneath
the ancient sea’s sparkling waters – surrounded by understated Greek luxury.
WHERE TO GO: UNITED KINGDOM
A family vacation in the UK is certainly most enjoyable during the summer
months, in particular for families who hope to take advantage of the open
countryside and outdoor activities offered in the Hampshire area. Traditionally, this
region has been enjoyed as a short-break holiday spot for locals, but there’s enough
to keep families entertained here for longer stays.
