Greek island for older kids?

[MissAtomicBomb1]

Looking for recommendations please.
Our DC will be 7 and 11 when we travel.
They love a beach/pool but I'm looking for somewhere with a bit extra to keep them entertained e.g water sports, boat trips, plenty of shops, possibly water parks or places to visit.
I really want to visit somewhere Greek next year but I don't want to pick anywhere too quiet. Recommendations of places that might fit the bill welcome please! 🙏🏻

Any of the larger tourist islands so Crete, Corfu, Rhodes or Kos. All have several resort towns with what you are looking for. Out of the four, I did not like Kos but luckily it was our end after a bit of island hopping starting in Rhodes. We loved Rhodes so much we extended our stay there to 10 nights and only spent a couple on Kos after leaving Rhodes and travelling to islands by ferry on the way. We are in Corfu at the moment and I have not been for over a decade, it is a lovely island.

@willstarttomorrow do you
mind my asking why you didn’t like Kos? Thanks.

Mitsis Grand Hotel right in Rhodes Town

Thanks. I'll check those out - especially Rhodes.

@manlyago I am not sure why so cannot really answer. I think it is just our personal opinion compared to other islands we have visited. Since covid happened we have found ourselves in Greece and Italy a lot because they were the easiest places to get to (when restrictions were in place). For whatever reason Kos left us feeling a bit flat. In the end we only stayed for 2 nights having island hopped from Rhodes and stayed on beautiful Nisyros as our last stop before Kos to get the plane home.
