What’s the best Greek island for a holiday with under-fives?
2/5 Corfu
Anywhere on Corfu is great for under fives, but the north east has a slight edge. It’s the area for charming seaside towns with cove-like beaches, cute waterfront restaurants, gentle atmosphere, and spectacular Ionian Sea views. You’ll find a good choice of smaller holiday villas and relaxed little hotels too, and everywhere is family-friendly. Try pretty Kalami for fishing village authenticity, lush pine forests, and calmest seas. Or head a little further north to Kassiopi, another traditional town with breathtakingly beautiful beaches, which would be crowded anywhere else, but never are in this part of Corfu.
