Greek Holidays - Travel Guide

Check out our travel guides: Corfu - Crete - Halkidiki - Kefalonia - Kos - Mykonos - Rhodes - Santorini - Zante

Lots of beaches to choose from in HalkidikiThe main Greek islands of Corfu, Crete and Rhodes account for more than 80% of tourist visiting the islands. The main summer season runs from the start of May through to the end of October but visitors in the last week of October should be prepared to see hotels and attractions getting ready to close down on the last day of the month. This unfortunately usually clashes with also being half-term for many schools in England. For family entertainment value Crete and Rhodes offer the best water parks and things to do for families with both Corfu and Zante coming close runners up. Halkidiki on the mainland offers some great beaches and countryside but if the children want an action packed holiday then stick to the main four.
