Day 1 & 2: Heraklion

Heraklion is the capital of Crete and is very easy to fly from and to any European airport. A city rich in history and known for the very famous Palace of Knossos and its historical collections. Visiting the Knossos Palace is highly recommended as it still fascinates kids and adults alike. It is an incredible journey in the past and the Greek ancient civilization that will stimulate your child’s curiosity.

Heraklion hosts all kinds of theme and adventure parks which your kids will absolutely love! It is also a great point to start many excursions such as hiking in gorges, and mountains, visiting caves, or even horseback riding. The harbor of Heraklion with its Venetian architecture is great for strolls and boat watching. Its organized beaches have the calmest and most shallow waters, which make it ideal for kids.

 

Day 3 & 4: Chania

Chania town is considered by many, the most beautiful city in Greece. The Old Town of Chania offers a wide range of holiday accommodation and entertainment that suits all tastes and ages. Explore the Old Town on foot, and admire the numerous monuments that date back to Venetian, Ottoman, and Egyptian times. Cozy shops and atmospheric restaurants are ready to be explored! For children, there is a city park with a small zoo and a playground. A visit to the market hall will offer everything from colorful food to children’s toys.

Cretan food is the tastier form of Mediterranean cuisine but is incredibly healthy as well. There are plenty of taverns to eat authentic foods such as dakos, cheese pies made from Cretan cheeses, cooked meals with lamb or eggplants, and a variety of freshly cut salads. In other words, you will get the chance to experience a family lunch or dinner in a traditional Cretan atmosphere.

The beaches are sandy and wide with shallow safe waters. Young and older children will enjoy a visit to the tropical white beaches of Falassarna, and Elafonissi. But in case you feel like having some extra fun with your family, you can visit a famous Cretan waterpark with slides, water games, rides, and sunbathing terraces, all centered around a large swimming pool, and of course a bar to enjoy snacks and drinks. An idyllic destination to spend some quality time with your family!

 

Day 5 & 6: Rethymnon

Experience an unforgettable family holiday in one of the world's most well-preserved Venetian old towns at Rethymnon. The natural environment around Rethymnon is magical. There are many places to stroll in nature, learn about the culture, and experience educational adventures in Rethymno. As well as being fun and educational at the same time, natural landscapes, endemic herbs and flowers, and world-famous flora and fauna offer children a chance to explore a new world.

The southern part of the region is also quite family-friendly, and kids will enjoy splashing in shallow waters near the shore while adults cool off in the sea.

Taking the children on a hiking trip through the lush Preveli forest of palm trees and lush vegetation is a great challenge.
