Which Greek island for a family holiday?

We flew to Preveza and then by transit coach over the causeway to Leftkada, where a small ferry at Nydri was waiting to take us to beautiful unspoilt Meganisi. We stayed in Villa Myrto, Katomeri near Vathi and loved the island and the people - via Ionian and Aegean Island holidays, superb holiday, hugely recommended.

I'll suggest Pefkos on Rhodes, when we went it was in 2 camps young families & older couples, however it is close to Lindos which has nightlife for teenagers.

We loved Cephalonia. We stayed in Agia Efimia which is on the east coast and quieter than some of the more touristy areas on the west coast. Around a lovely harbour. Sami was very close by and had a lovely beach. They have the beautiful Myrtos beach which was used for Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Depends on the age of the kids in your family? Do you need a good place for very little ones (no hills - many Greek islands are quite hilly) - or nightlife for older teens?

Wow! So much choice?

Vasiliki on Lefkas (Lefkada). The longest beach in a lovely town with plenty to do. Ferries to Ithaka, Fiskado etc. Loved it.

Rhodes is good for families if you're happy to be among lots of Germans. Our DD and family just had a wonderful week at a Thomas Cook all inclusive hotel, excellent food and clean rooms. Very hot, the little ones could hardly walk on the sand it was so prickly.

Crete is my favourite of the large islands. Skopolos is lovely and would be good for the ages of your part. It's a flight to Skaithos then short ferry to Skopolos. Skaithos is beautiful but attracts a noisier more alcohol fuelled crowd than Skopolos. This is the area where Mama Mia was filmed.

We had a wonderful camping holiday once in the Northern Cyclades. I think we stayed the longest on Paros.
At the time Mykonos wasn't suitable for a "family" holiday but might have changed. It was a long time ago.
One thing to avoid if possible - it was in early August and there were some rather unpleasant evening winds.
But there's so much choice.

Thank you?

If I was to go back to Zante, or Zakynthos as it was when we went, I`d go back to Alikes, or Alikanes, next door, lovely beaches.
The only other Greek island I`ve been to is Kefalonia, we stayed at Mounda beach, near Skala, just beautiful.

Zante has some lovely beaches at Kalamaki and also loggerhead turtles, just avoid Laganas which is for 18-30s.

Didn't

Corfu! It's beautiful, the beaches are wonderful and the public transport is cheap if you don't want to hire a car. We stayed in Sidari and loved it. We dudn't find it too noisy at night either and there are masses of restaurants/tavernas, most of which will have some form of entertainment in the evenings. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
