Comfortable, Active, and Educational: The Best Greek Islands for Families

These paradise destinations offer many opportunities for tourists with children.

When traveling with children, tourists should take into account a number of nuances. This primarily concerns the vacation destination.

Greece is traditionally considered one of the best destinations for traveling with children, offering comfortable beaches, stunning natural beauty, rich history, and reasonable prices. However, not every one of its numerous islands is suitable for young travelers.

The British publication The Times has compiled a list of Greek islands that are perfect for family vacations.

Skiathos– the best island in Greece for families with children

The top-rated island is Skiathos, located in the western part of the Aegean Sea, between Athens and Thessaloniki. The atmosphere here is more peaceful than in the Cyclades or the Ionian Islands, with clear waters and numerous sandy beaches.

Meanwhile, older children may be interested in diving and snorkeling.

In addition, the island has pine forests for hiking, as well as historical monasteries and a medieval castle for sightseeing tours.
