Greek Islands holidays have long been a favourite for the British seeking a sun drenched holiday, providing fine sandy beaches, clear blue water, family friendly resorts and interesting excursions. Each Greek Island has something different to offer, the major islands like Crete, Corfu, Rhodes and Zante provide all you can want in a holiday, while the quieter more tranquil smaller islands like Kos, Kefalonia, Skiathos and Mykonos feature quieter beaches and stunning scenery.

Everyone lucky enough to be familiar with the Greek islands seems to have a different favourite. This testifies to the region's ability to fulfil anyone's holiday specifications without sacrificing its charming Mediterranean heritage. Couples can roam between peaceful seclusion on the smaller islands - Skiathos is a personal favourite, with rural tracks and excellent seafood - to larger, lively towns like Laganas, on Zante, whose vivid host of bars, clubs and restaurants is nicely balanced by a sea turtle migration every summer. Holidaying here is incredibly versatile; Zante holidays can be adapted to suit anyone from small children to energetic 20-somethings with an eye for great beaches and fresh cocktails.
Although each Greek island has a unique attraction, all share the relaxed welcome that makes visiting the region such a pleasure. Family life is traditional here, and well provided for. With flights from a convenient majority of UK airports, taking your gang on holiday becomes simple and exciting. Rhodes holidays are particularly good for youngsters. The island's 2km of Blue Flag beaches, with clean sand shelving gently into the water, are perfect for paddling and sandcastles. Buy beach paraphernalia when you get there - it doesn't cost much extra and means less carrying for you. Many hotels here have playgrounds, shallow pools and children staying for free. Self-catering apartments, commonly clustered around a pool and restaurant, provide hotel-style amenities with the mealtime versatility essential for young families.
The Greeks have always been pretty adept in the boating department. They were confidently navigating the Mediterranean back in 270 BC, and water sports have remained popular, with waterskiing and windsurfing for the energetic, or pedal boating and pleasure boats for those more gently inclined. For sporty fun, Crete holidays have become particularly attractive, thanks to the island's varied terrain, with mountains, ravines, plains and beaches all within easy reach of each other. Exploring the island by mountain bike is really rewarding, and larger towns, particularly Hersonissos, are brimming with bike hire facilities, not to mention tennis courts, beach volleyball, go-karts, bungie jumping, sea sports facilities and swimming pools.
