Hi, really struggle with finding places that will cater to both girls with the age gap.
We’ve been to Paris, Amalfi coast, Berlin, Disneyland Paris, Algarve, Porto, Malaga, Seville, Milan. They loved Seville.
Would like somewhere I don’t need to hire a car (even if it’s an expensive uber drive from airport to destination). Pool would be great but not a deal breaker. Beach also great but not a full beach holiday as youngest loves the beach but eldest prefer walking around a town/city with shopping.
Have Barcelona and Florence in mind? Somewhere in Greece maybe?
We’ve had challenging times in the past and would love to take them somewhere to relax, walk into town/city, some shopping. If a full city break, could look at booking a hotel with a pool for the youngest. Thanks for any recs.

ETA looking for Easter break, maybe 5 days.

Youngest gets really sea/travel sick but this would otherwise tick all the boxes!

My DS gets really travel sick as well! Literally can’t drive in the car on any kind of windy road, or be in a boat etc without being violently ill. We’ve always taken travel sickness tablets but he’s never once needed them. You never feel the boat move!
