Greece holidays

Greece brings family holidays close to beaches, ancient history and relaxed resort towns, particularly across the islands. Shallow bays, boat trips, water sports and open-air archaeological sites create variety beyond the hotel, while many resorts add children’s pools, kids’ clubs and flexible dining. Sea, space and shared discovery remain central to the experience.

Sea air, local wine and fishing harbours give the Greek islands a romantic character. Santorini provides the most dramatic setting: its caldera was formed by a major Bronze Age volcanic eruption, while cliffside villages look across the Aegean towards sweeping sunsets. Elsewhere, waterfront tavernas, secluded coves and unhurried evenings create a gentler atmosphere.

Nightlife in Greece can mean beach clubs, late-running city bars, live music, waterfront restaurants or a spontaneous evening in a local square. Mykonos is known for high-energy summer parties, while Athens and Thessaloniki bring year-round clubs, rooftops, neighbourhood bars and music stages. Across the islands, the idea of kefi—a shared sense of joy and celebration—often shapes the atmosphere. Quieter tavernas, open-air cinemas and harbour terraces keep the evening scene broad rather than uniform.
