We've booked flights to Athens for 8 nights in April. Very excited as our two girls aged 9 and 10, are Ancient Greece nuts!


So we're thinking of 4 nights in Athens itself, and then 4 nights chilling on an island, but don't know which island to go for - not too far so we only spend a few hours on internal travel..


Does anyone have any recommendations for islands, accommodations, things to do/avoid etc pl?


Thanks!

Not an island but Peloponnese is well worth visiting and close to Athens.

Re. accomm, once you find an area you like check on one of the owner's direct websites for affordable places to rent, you often deal with the owner directly and therefore save ???? in commission to agents...

I would always recommend Corfu. As far away from Kavos as you can- so north of the Island.


I spent a summer there 20 years ago working in a bar and we arrived the weekend before Easter.


Easter itself was very special, all except for the constant baa-ing from lambs kept on a rope in back gardens for the big day, then the sacrificial cutting of throats.


The spit roasted result was wonderful though!

I went there years ago and thought it was great.


Then onwards to Santorini.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
