The CYCLADES with the family (Greece, islands)
This family's experience:

Activities: We spent a lot of time at the beach and swimming! We enjoyed the clear blue water. Some beaches had pebbles, others fine sand. We found tamaris trees for shade and enjoyed lunch at tavernas by the water. We bought beach games and masks

Highlights: The kids loved swimming in the Aegean Sea! They enjoyed playing on the beach and splashing in the waves. We liked the tavernas where we could take our time and return for more swimming when the sun was softer ✨
