there are so many places you can go,it depends of your interests,historical sites are amost everywhere in Greece,and eery islands has its own beauty,Kefalonia is an awesomeplace to go with beautiful beaches attractive villages and towns
On a family holiday in Greece with teenage children Ttry the northeast coast of Corfu. You get the relative quietness while your teenagers can enjoy the night life. For a family beach vacation in Greece with small children Paxos, south of Corfu, is an excellent choice. It is a small island of olive groves and pinewoods with a handful of little ports and villages to enjoy and explore.

You can also contemplate a family beach vacation in Greece by planning a trip to Mykonos. The only problem is that there are too many beaches which makes choosing the best difficult. On the south side of the island alone are Ornos and Psarou beaches preferred by families, Agrari for idyllic relaxation and Psarou is great for windsurfing, water-skiing and diving.

In Santorini most beaches are covered in black, ash-like sand except for the most famous one, which is red. The main town, Fira, is found at the peak of the island and provides breathtaking views across the land and sheer cliffs that plunge into the azure water. From the ancient ruins at Akrotiri to Orthodox, Catholic and Byzantine churches, to fish-sellers on the streets of Fira, Santorini has a homely feel to it. An idyllic spot for a family holiday in Greece with lot of hotels that are not perched precariously on the cliffs~

Symi island in the Dodecanese group near Rhodes. It has the best of everything, and our biggest tourist demographic is of families. The best thing is once you get here you will never get lost, and there is simple transport, one bus that does a circle route, and taxis.
You may think...oh too small, but trust me its amazing it has something for everyone.

We have breathtaking beaches and there are sailboat trips with BBQ who make day-trip excursions. We have famous restaurants and tavernas that have been written about, as well as the style who have "Mama's cooking". There are cultural and music festivals throughout the Summer anywhere from free Rock concerts in our outdoor arena, to local wine and cheese tasting, art displays and local theatre. We have clubs, live music bars etc for the teens and moped hire etc and I'm sure the younger kids will be happy with the beaches and the many beach toys and novelties that are on sail at the tourist stores. And if at any time you feel in need of more, you can take a day trip to Rhodes which is the next island over and less than 1hr away, which has great shopping, a water fun park, and a beautiful medieval old town with markets.

You can fly direct to Rhodes from all over Europe and the US and then take a quick ferry to Symi,

I went to Crete with my family a few years ago and it was lovely. We stayed in Gouves which is quite near the capital, Heraklion. There is lots to do for every age group. As for culture, the ancient city of Knossos ( where the Minoans lived) is quite near Heraklion, and it's one of the oldest civilizations in the world - I think it's earliest settlements date back to around 7000 BC. If you're going in July, it will be very, very hot, so bring your sunscreen!

Every one is going to tell you to go to Crete or Rhodes but these are so touristic, its like being in a hot England!
Try somewhere like Lesvos. Its still traditional and not just a tourist resort!

wow so many people answering Crete. Im glad cause i come from Crete myself and can tell you a thing or two about the island. If you book a flight with easyjet now it will be really cheap. I prefer booking after christmas or Easter holidays. There are flights available from Gatwick directly to Heraklion which is the capital. All four cities in Crete are beautiful but i prefer Heraklion and Chania. Heraklion is the only city where you can combine clubing, good food, shopping etc but i will advise you to stay outside the city. You can stay in Gouves which is a very beautiful place and basically not so wild as other places. here are buses from everywhere to everywhere in Crete. You can also stay in Chersonissos or Malia. That's what most travel agents will tell you but be careful..! If you want to have a nice, quiet and relaxing time don't go there. It is full of tourists from EVERYWHERE and their only purpose is clubing and drinking. It's a clubzone basically. You can stay in another place and visit those places if you like of course and have a look for yourself. You can stay in Gouves as i said or Stalida (other name Stalis). They both are close to the clubzones i told you (stalida is practically 10 minutes tops on foot from Chersonissos) and not far from Heraklion. Gouves is 15 minute drive and Malia nearly 30 minutes. Stalida and Chersonissos are located in between the aforementioned. Now, July and august are the hottest periods but also the best. If you go to Knossos or Festos (the two ancient cities) don't go there in August. You will get dehydrated and won't enjoy it due to the heat. If you want to know anything more about Crete just email me. I will be happy to help you. There are MANY places in Crete and imagine that i am 22 and still trying to go everywhere. I am travelling with my family around Crete since i was 15 because i cannot find a better place to go but it depends on what you actually want
