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!

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).

      Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft.

      Move to SE22, school recommendation?

      By Hen123 · Posted

      Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
