Greek Islands Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Greek Island Hopper
This tour head been there best so far. Rhett only downfall was I think we needed one more day to enjoy the beaches in mykonos.
An amazing experience! Our tour guide ( Edward) provided outstanding personalized service, extremely knowledgeable of Greece and U.K. being a native. The accommodations at each location were fantastic! Beachfront resorts on the islands! Cost saver was an outstanding value. Highly recommend.
Greek Island Explorer
Overall I had a very good experience with Mazi Travel from beginning to end. Mazi’s reprensentative was very prompt to respond. All hotels were well located and clean. Two things that matters to me when I travel. I have also been provided a chauffeur for every transit which was very practical. Except for one time, the chauffeur did not show up and I had to take a cab, all other times they were punctual. The acropolis and Parthenon visit included was good as well as the Delos tour. I would have loved to stay one more night in Santorini instead of Mykonos since there was so much to see in Santorini. An included tour of Santorini would have been appreciated. I had to buy one myself and did’t regret it. I recommend none the less this Trip with Mazi Travel. I travelled alone and had lots of time on my own to do whatever I wanted. I think that kind of tour is well balanced were some things are taken care of(ship transfer, hotel, some inclusions) so you don’t have to worry. TourRadar is also easy to use with lots of options and tour companies I will use this site for my next trip.

What are the best family-friendly activities and attractions in the Greek Islands?
The Greek Islands combine natural wonders with ancient history making them ideal for family exploration. Children can watch sea turtles on glass-bottom boat tours in Zakynthos or swim in the clear waters at Chrissi Akti and Santa Maria beaches in Paros. The Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach offer natural spectacles that appeal to all ages. Families can join hands-on cooking classes to learn about Greek cuisine or visit fishing villages like Panagia where children often spot terrapin turtles in local streams. A TourRadar traveler shares "The boat cruise to see turtles was a highlight for our kids they were huge but so friendly that you could swim with them!"
What is the ideal time to visit the Greek Islands with family?
Plan your family trip during May-June or September-October when the weather is mild and tourist numbers drop. These months bring comfortable temperatures to Mykonos and Santorini perfect for both swimming and exploring. Athens is best visited in June before summer heat peaks while September offers ideal water temperatures for beach activities. A TourRadar traveler notes: "It was a great mix of free time and planned activities. Greece is a beautiful country and I thought we had the right amount of time in each destination."
What are the best accommodation options for families in the Greek Islands?
Family-friendly hotels span across the islands meeting different needs and budgets. The Fresh Hotel in Athens provides roomy family units while the San Marco Hotel in Mykonos features sea-view family suites. El Greco Resort in Santorini stands out for its multiple pools and easy access to Fira town. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Hotels were great especially the Winery Hotel in Santorini! Beautiful views and knowledgeable tour guides." Most properties offer connecting rooms or family suites with breakfast included.
What are the most educational experiences for children in the Greek Islands?
History comes alive through hands-on learning across the islands. The Acropolis Museum in Athens runs family tours that connect children with Greek mythology. Santorini's Akrotiri known as the "Pompeii of Greece" shows how ancient civilizations lived. Mykonos offers farm visits where children learn about local agriculture through direct experience. As one TourRadar traveler notes: "I was fascinated by the unburied structures of ancient cities and how water systems worked. Our guides did an excellent job of making it interesting and thorough."
What should families pack for a Greek Islands vacation?
Pack sun protection comfortable walking shoes for archaeological sites and beach gear. Water shoes help on Santorini's volcanic beaches. While hotels like Pyrgaki in Paros provide basic amenities bring specific items your children need. A TourRadar traveler suggests: "Pack light but don't forget essentials for the kids especially for the beach activities and walking tours."
