Exceptional Family Holidays in the Cyclades & Greek Islands
Every family deserves a holiday that feels easy, joyful, and full of memorable moments you’ll talk about for years. The Greek islands offer a laid-back atmosphere that’s ideal for family getaways.
At Astraeus Holidays, we take the stress out of travelling as a family and turn your Greek island escape into something effortless.
We design Greek family holidays and family holidays in the Cyclades that flow naturally from start to finish. From the moment your plane touches down to the day you head home, every transfer, connection, and detail is handled by us - so you can simply relax. No queues, no confusion, just sunshine, sea, and time together.
Whether you’re travelling with toddlers, teens, or grandparents, we’ll plan a tailor-made trip that keeps everyone smiling. The Greek Islands are relaxed, safe, and welcoming for families, and we’ll use our insider knowledge to help you discover their best side.

Ideas for Family Fun
Every family is unique, and no two holidays we plan are ever the same. Whether you want to explore or unwind, we’ll shape each day around you. Here are just a few ideas:
- Paddle in turquoise shallows and build sandcastles at the beach
- Go snorkelling, kayaking, or paddleboarding
- Try a gentle sailing lesson
- Stroll through whitewashed villages or cycle along the coast
- Visit ancient ruins, museums and traditional villages
- Join a family cooking class and learn how to make traditional Greek moussaka and souvlaki
- Create your own traditional Greek crafts at a pottery or ceramic workshop
- Spend the day at an exciting water park or theme park
- Visit an animal sanctuary
- Watch the sunset together with an ice cream (or wine!) in hand
Travel Tips from Local Experts
- Travel in June or September for calmer crowds and cooler days
- Stick to nearby islands with young kids for less ferry time
- In August, base yourselves on one island and take short day trips
- Choose islands with buses or taxis if you’d prefer not to rent a car
- For picky eaters, villas with kitchens make life easier - although Greek food has something to suit most diets!
