Family holiday deals to Crete
Family holidays to Crete promise lazy days on sandy beaches, lashings of Greek charm and sightseeing opportunities galore.
As the largest Greek island, Crete has plenty of choice when it comes to family holidays. Its best kid-friendly resorts are in the north, where the sea is warm and calm. You have your pick of accommodation, from luxurious all-inclusive hotels with kids’ clubs and activities to simple self-catering spots by the beach.
Days here are best spent in the sunshine, swimming in shallow seas or splashing at a waterpark. You could also take a day trip to ancient sites like the Palace of Knossos, which dates back to 1900 BCE and was said to be home to the legendary Minotaur.

Top family-friendly destinations in Crete
Chania
Chania is a great pick for culture and beaches combined. Take a stroll through the old town to shop for souvenirs and ice cream in the morning, then go swimming in the afternoon. With plenty of history to explore in the nearby ancient city of Aptera, this area has all the ingredients for a dream family holiday to Greece.
Elounda
Holidays to Elounda have family fun and relaxation by the bucket load. Expect a traditional Greek village vibe – think waterside tavernas, boat trips and a lovely sandy beach. From here, you can also venture into the mythical Minotaur story at the Palace of Knossos or visit the Aquaworld Aquarium and Reptile Centre.
Hersonissos
With gorgeous bucket-and-spade beaches, watersports for big kids and a long list of waterparks, Hersonissos delivers top family holidays. The coast is less than half an hour from Heraklion International Airport, so there are no lengthy transfers to worry about either.
