In Greece, there is much for an excellent holiday with children of all ages - and with babies, and with kids and teenagers. Consider in order that which attracts people to that country family.

The places that everyone should see in their lives - the Acropolis of Athens and Lindos, museums with interesting artifacts and places of excavation, Legendary cities such as Sparta and Argos, Olympic venues, visit the location of the Kolos of Rhodes and much more.

It is better to see everything at school age, to get acquainted with the ancient Greek civilization earlier than in adulthood. If there is such an opportunity, give it to your children.
Nature and climate
The nature of Europe and the Mediterranean is ideal and safe for enjoying it. In the sea there are no sharks and dangerous living creatures (at least, cases of collision with such a very rare), because you can swim in warm water for days on end and observe all the shades of blue that give us the sea of ??Greece.
Mountains and hills attract as much attention as the sea and delight children. The diversity of animals in the resorts, of course, you will not find, except goats and sheep, but you can see representatives of the animal kingdom of Greece in zoos, on farms.
Weather and climate do not cause long and severe acclimatization, especially for residents from southern cities of Russia. Time in Greece and Moscow is the same, respectively, the difference, say, with Ekaterinburg is only 2 hours. It's getting dark in Greece before, at 8 pm in the summer it's already dark.
Features of Greek food for children in Greece
Food in Greece is safe for children and, most importantly, is familiar to our Russian stomach. This is not Thailand and not other Asia, where you need to stock up anti-burn pill and smectic. Dishes are made from products that we have, but better quality and taste.
The most terrible thing that can happen is overeating, because portions in hospitable Greece are large, and dishes are delicious.
Children of all ages and their parents can enjoy sweet desserts from pastry shops, that in Greece at every step - cookies with honey, walnuts in syrup, hand-made sweets and baklava are just delicious. Your child will finally try fruit, real fruits - juicy large peaches, (not our small ones that come to us from other countries), a large grapes (which you can not buy while you are at work, as it grows everywhere and freely), nectarines, plums, sweet watermelons.
Entertainment - what to do with a child
In Greece, big cities have water parks, amusement parks. In small towns in the main squares there are attractions. However, it should be noted that the usual for tourists in Turkey, most hotels will be boring in terms of children's leisure. While in this country there are not so many hotels with children's clubs, nannies and animators that do with you charging and spending discos. Most hotels with children's leisure facilities are located in large resorts.
If you choose a budget vacation or vacation not in the heart of the resort town, then entertainment for children will have to come up yourself, the organization of leisure and its search will be in your hands. This applies, by the way, not only to children's pastime, but also to adult studies.
Safety and health
If you go abroad with children, it's in Europe, and in Greece, as well. Culture and religion are close to ours, civilization is even better, because there are not so many marginal personalities and misunderstandings due to your inappropriate behavior (for the country of holiday), as in some countries.
Snakes, scorpions and other muck in the resorts are not found, or very well hides. Of course, if you go on an excursion such as a jeep safari or have a picnic in the forest or on the rocks, it's better to look around. There are no malarial mosquitoes here, viruses and epidemics are very rare. However, it is still worthwhile to be on the alert - the number of migrants from disadvantaged countries (such as Syria) has increased in recent years, many of them do not have a home and do not particularly monitor their health and appearance.
Where to live with children in Greece
For families in hotels there are apartments with a kitchen where you can easily prepare a light meal. There are apartments with several rooms, which is very convenient. They are somewhat more expensive than studios in one room, but they are more comfortable for several people. To rent a house from local Greeks or an expensive villa is also not a problem - it's worth to book accommodation on well-known sites in advance.
In general, with the kids, you can safely go to the sunny country of Greece for new experiences.
