What people love about Family Tours in Greek Islands
- Athens and Santorini ( Noisless Breeze )
Me and a friend took this trip in October 2022. The Country of Greece is absolutely amazing and beautiful! You could not beat the price for the things that we saw. We were under the assumption that this was a “group tour” and surprise surprise it was not!! Turned out to be a private tour doing quite a bit on our own. Most of it was city centered so that wasn’t so bad.. nightlife in Athens was beautiful and safe pretty much. Thank God, my friend and I were both familiar with Europe or else this could have went really badly for newcomers! We did so much walking and we never saw our tour point of contact point the entire trip! LoL. We just messenger him by phone or called him with pertinent questions. You better pay close attention that what you paid for is in the itineraries that you signed up for because that can be tricky. You cannot be a passive person on a trip like this when something is not right to you. Say something! One tour guide, literally told us that many times people don’t see everything they pay for that is in the itineraries . You only see it if you make a fuss about it . Pretty much do most on your own, except for maybe 3 things out of seven days. It is a private tour. It wasn’t like that every day. The trip overall was amazing but you better make sure that you ask the right questions before you take this trip! Ask if it is a “group” tour or private; ask if you get excursion tour with a guide. Don’t bother bringing shoes only sneakers because we were walking a minimum of four hours a day up some very steep hills and winding Hills. We got lost for 30 minutes trying to find our guide and transportation for that day who did not pick us up directly from the hotel. We had to walk to find the pick up point, and we walked up some very steep and winding Hills. It was especially bad because I had a bum leg with a sciatic nerve issue, but we made it. The hotel in Santorini was amazing, and that was because there was a mixup with the original hotel and they ended up giving us a suite, which was very nice! The other hotel we stayed in in Athens was so so and that was OK because we didn’t plan on being there forever. There was nothing American on the TV channels any place we went. Again, the overall trip was just amazing, but other things could have been be more desirable CLEAR.

We had a very good time and had a wonderful tour agent to help us all the way. She went above the call of duty every day for us all. The only event that was beyond the control of Tour Radar is the hotel in Mykonos which considered a lower level room as a 50 Euro upgrade for seniors and persons with disabilities. They preferred to leave those rooms vacant than allow them at the same rate.
Our driver in Athens was not exactly the best. Our tour guide was great in taking care of our concerns. Our guide to the Parthenon and museum was wonderful. The Naxos tour company could have been more cordial. The hotel was lacking in fresh towels. No face cloths. No face tissue and no water pressure. The air conditioner did not work well either. But the staff at the front desk were very nice in the evening hours.

What our customers ask about Family Tours & Trips in Greek Islands
What are the best family-friendly activities and attractions in the Greek Islands?
The Greek Islands combine natural wonders with ancient history making them ideal for family exploration. Children can watch sea turtles on glass-bottom boat tours in Zakynthos or swim in the clear waters at Chrissi Akti and Santa Maria beaches in Paros. The Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach offer natural spectacles that appeal to all ages. Families can join hands-on cooking classes to learn about Greek cuisine or visit fishing villages like Panagia where children often spot terrapin turtles in local streams. A TourRadar traveler shares "The boat cruise to see turtles was a highlight for our kids they were huge but so friendly that you could swim with them!"
What is the ideal time to visit the Greek Islands with family?
Plan your family trip during May-June or September-October when the weather is mild and tourist numbers drop. These months bring comfortable temperatures to Mykonos and Santorini perfect for both swimming and exploring. Athens is best visited in June before summer heat peaks while September offers ideal water temperatures for beach activities. A TourRadar traveler notes: "It was a great mix of free time and planned activities. Greece is a beautiful country and I thought we had the right amount of time in each destination."
What are the best accommodation options for families in the Greek Islands?
Family-friendly hotels span across the islands meeting different needs and budgets. The Fresh Hotel in Athens provides roomy family units while the San Marco Hotel in Mykonos features sea-view family suites. El Greco Resort in Santorini stands out for its multiple pools and easy access to Fira town. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Hotels were great especially the Winery Hotel in Santorini! Beautiful views and knowledgeable tour guides." Most properties offer connecting rooms or family suites with breakfast included.
What are the most educational experiences for children in the Greek Islands?
History comes alive through hands-on learning across the islands. The Acropolis Museum in Athens runs family tours that connect children with Greek mythology. Santorini's Akrotiri known as the "Pompeii of Greece" shows how ancient civilizations lived. Mykonos offers farm visits where children learn about local agriculture through direct experience. As one TourRadar traveler notes: "I was fascinated by the unburied structures of ancient cities and how water systems worked. Our guides did an excellent job of making it interesting and thorough."
What should families pack for a Greek Islands vacation?
Pack sun protection comfortable walking shoes for archaeological sites and beach gear. Water shoes help on Santorini's volcanic beaches. While hotels like Pyrgaki in Paros provide basic amenities bring specific items your children need. A TourRadar traveler suggests: "Pack light but don't forget essentials for the kids especially for the beach activities and walking tours."
