Looking for some island recommendations that are kid-friendly. Not sure yet if we want to get a flight and sort out our own accommodation separately or do an all-in package type deal (never done one before, not sure I like the idea of being restricted but am open to suggestions). Thinking of going early July.


Any tips/advice very gratefully received.

I went to sifnos a few years back, really lovely, laid back, small, ... we didnt have a daugther then, but quite a few families around who did and stayed in accomodation with swimming pools overlooking the ocean ....

You could fly to one of the near by bigger islands (and then get a boat across) or else its the ferry from athens.

Mothercourage, we are going to Kephalonia this year. Have heard very good things from friends with kids about it. It has sandy beaches, is supposedly not too touristy and has nice villages that are close together. Also charter flights fly direct to the Kephalonia airport so no ferries or changing planes etc...

Northern Kefalonia (around Fiskardo) is just gorgeous, and some of the loveliest beaches are up here, but at this end of the island they also tend to be pebbly so bring jelly shoes / plastic flip flops etc. The most wonderful thing about the North Eastern side of the island is the mirror-flat and crystal clear water - mesmerising for grown ups, perfect for little ones in inflatables. My fave beach is Foki Bay (plenty of shade, a little taverna, easy to park near by). We hired a villa last time I was there, but there's a lovely hotel called Emelisse (http://www.mrandmrssmith.com/us/luxury-hotels/emelisse-hotel) just outside of Fiskardo which has a set of family friendly apartments (I think there are 4) with a shared family pool and playground. Hope this helps!

      We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".
