Greece, Puglia, South Africa and Florida: your next family travel destinations

Greece

Take the Greek islands, for instance, an engaging destination for families seeking a relaxing retreat, unspoiled natural environment and an overall charming experience. But..there are a lot of islands… which should you choose? We suggest Crete, Greece’s largest and most quintessential island!
Miles of marvelous beaches, mythical reminiscences, a gleaming blue sea, historic villages and enchanting local heritage: a haven for a perfect family vacation.

Just think: your family can spend memorable sun-kissed days choosing a new beach every day! Elafonisi, Balos, Kedrodasos and Paleochora, just to name a few of the most spectacular, all offer crystal-clear sea and soft, powdery sand…

Children will have a ball learning to snorkel, playing in the shallow water and building legendary sand castles. And teens can have fun windsurfing at Falasarna beach, while the adults visit the nearby Ancient Falasarna archeological site.

Plus, hikers and amateur explorers of all ages will certainly delight in the amazing 16 km long hiking path that connects Elafonisi e Paleochora.

And all will dream sweetly at Villa Arkonthika, a peaceful Villa nestled in the hillside. Located near tiny, enchanting Elos, one of Crete’s most evocative villages, the property offers full comfort and privacy in the Villa’s two sides, each with its own private swimming pool, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an open space including living room and kitchen. All with the added value of a friendly local owner and the unique chance to partake in Elos’ charming village life!

Puglia

Dreaming about Italy, perhaps? Step off-the-beaten-track, take your family to Puglia. Blessed with enchanting vistas and heart-warming colors and flavors, this region offers a mild climate, authentic old-world hospitality, and astounding olive groves to play hide and seek in!

Spend your nights sweetly dreaming at Vigna Corallo, near Otranto, a delightful country property. Ensuring full privacy and freedom in its 11 finely appointed apartments, each with a kitchenette and an independent entrance, it also includes a comfortable pergola-shaded patio, barbecue and outdoor shower, and… an in-house winery for mum and dad to discover.
And it’s wonderfully located.

A 15 minute drive takes you to safe, sandy, unspoilt and toddler-friendly Torre dell’Orso beach. A longer scenic drive away you’ll find Torre Guaceto, a nature reserve and protected marine area where, apart from swimming and snorkeling, families can enjoy birdwatching, seawatching, hiking and cycling along marvelous paths.

Spend one day exploring the area’s historical legacy. Otranto’s majestic Aragonese castle – no more than 20 minutes from the hotel – will surprise children and adults alike, and pretty Gallipoli – divided into two parts connected by a 16th-century bridge – is a great place to have a walk, see picturesque views, have gelato and a swim too…there’s a beach right in town!

Finally, if you’re in for an engaging learning experience, drive to the Jonian Dolphin Conservation and take an unforgettable insider’s view on the marvelous world of the world’s most amazing mammals: dolphins! Staff will help you and the children on board the marine researchers’ boat and you’ll see and understand the hi-tech gear used to monitor the dolphins. Learn to recognize different dolphins taking photos of their fins and recording their calls and “voices”.

This can be done in a jiffy by booking the Cocoa Beach Villa, in Florida, where you will find great style and all amenities in 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an extensive veranda and well-equipped kitchen: the perfect accommodation for large families.

Featuring a delightful private garden too, this lovely ground floor private villa is THE ideal family vacation house: 3 minutes walk from the wide Florida beaches and a pleasant 50 minute drive to Disney world and Cape Canaveral, where you can really see a rocket launch.

A fun way to spend the day close to your villa? Book a child surfing lesson with the pro Ron Jon Surf Shop teachers and then relax with hot dogs and tex mex lunches. Or visit the Kennedy Space Center to play on the planets and train as an astronaut!
