Get Active At The Beach


Fancy earning yourself the proud title of Coolest Parent of the Year? Try your hand at windsurfing at Platanias Beach! The gorgeous Blue Flag beach stretches for about 2 kilometres, and its gentle shelving ebb into the sea makes it perfect for little paddling feet. But venture out a little further and the choppy waters offer ideal windsurfing conditions. Just rent a kit from the watersports centres in the beachfront hotels, hit the ripples and let your kids have the time of their lives as they watch you battle with the ocean.

Dine At The Panorama Taverna


Platanias holidays are all about quality family time, and there’s no better way to grab some of this than by enjoying a meal together. The Panorama Taverna is a family favourite restaurant that sits on a hillside just above the main street, and as its name suggests, the place promises sea views as tasty as its food. With Greek classics such as mixed grill, moussaka and souvlaki on offer, you and your family had better visit this place with rumbling bellies – because they won’t be empty for long!
