HEAD TO THE SOUTHERN MED...

If you're looking for guaranteed sunshine in Europe at May half-term, we love mainland Greece and its islands. The Peloponnese offers unspoilt landscapes, quiet beaches & tavernas, uncrowded Greek ruins and breathtaking Arcadian hill-top villages; ideal if you're looking to combine beach & sightseeing. Crete similarly has a lot more to offer to families than some of its smaller neighbouring islands. Equally, if you just want to fly & flop, Halkidiki has some superb family resorts
