Family Holidays in Crete

With so much to do, family holidays in Crete are becoming increasingly popular. Spend your days relaxing on the warm sands of the beach, take a fun family trip to the water parks or visit historic and cultural sites and towns. 

At Sovereign we understand just how important family holidays are, which is why we carefully curate our collection of hotels, ensuring each one matches our exacting standards. Our Personal Travel Planners are travel experts with years of experience who will help you find the perfect place for your family getaway. Whether your little ones want to make lots of new friends and join in all the activities and games in the kids’ clubs or prefer to simply relax with a book, we have you covered.

Elounda

Spend your days on the wonderful beaches of the town or book the whole family onto a boat trip and explore the nearby islands. If you prefer to stick to land there are 4x4 trips and off-road tours as well. Those wanting to explore the town itself will find a tractor train which tours you around the pretty streets, or exploring on foot is easy. If you prefer to enjoy water sports there are lots to choose from on the beach.
