Stretched out over the southern Balkans and the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea, Greece is home to awe inspiring natural beauty, fascinating historical treasures, and a lively cultural scene. A popular starting point for any Greek adventure is Athens, where you can walk through the cobbled streets, and head up to the ruins of the Acropolis, where ancient marble structures still offer stunning views of the city.
Greece is a leading destination in the field of family holidays, owing to the short flight time from the UK and a host of outstanding hotels. Although Greece does have its pleasure-seeking party side, it also embraces a much more family friendly atmosphere in the likes of Peloponnese, Skiathos, Crete and Halkidiki. The Westin Resort Costa Navarino in Peloponnese is a prime example of a luxurious hotel with excellent child facilities, including an appropriate pool and children’s club. Greece is a seasonal destination with a warmer climate than the UK all year round. This means that although it may be busy in the summer, a trip outside of season will still be a pleasurable one.
