AI holiday in Greece with 2 young kids?

[Strugglinghouse]

I’m hoping I can gain some recommendations if possible please?

We’re looking at booking our first family holiday for early July, 7-10 days in Greece, ideally all inclusive. We have 2 DC, 5 and 3 at that point. We’d ideally like a kids pool area, activities of some sort, and a nice town nearby to mooch around (doesn’t have to be walking distance).

Any recommendations please? 🙏🏼

Grecotel Marine Palace or Creta Maris

Nana golden beach in Crete

The IKOS resorts are gorgeous, but pretty pricey. The AI is excellent and includes room service. We went to Dassia in Corfu, or kids used the kids club and asked to go back! There is a playground, kids pool and splash pad, as well as other pools

Arminda Hotel in Crete. Think it's actually next door to Nana Golden Beach mentioned above but cheaper and more for young children to do. Nice splash park/slides and covered play area.

Blue Sea Beach, stalls, Crete

I also vote Corfu. Some absolutely beautiful hotels and because it's a small island, you can get almost anywhere in under an hour.

We did the Tui Holiday Village in Rhodes last year. It’s their flagship HV so pricey, but not as bad if you can get a free child place.

There’s loads of activities for the kids, and you can take a bus to Rhodes town, and other places. Tui organise day trips but it’s very easy to do yourself with a bus stop right outside the hotel.
