Faliraki. Located on a sandy beach, it’s good for all kinds of clients but is well geared up for children, with separate kids’ pools, plus activities from beach volleyball to five-aside football. The family rooms are based on two adults and two children sharing and an all-inclusive option is a favourite with parents who like to know what they’re spending up front. Adults will enjoy the spa with whirlpool bath, and there’s a good choice of restaurants and bars. Stay all-inclusive with Cosmos from £449.
The charming resort of Pefkos (named after the pine trees that line the lovely golden beach) is a perfect option for those clients looking for somewhere chilled. The Matina Aparthotel has a selection of studios and apartments for those who like the freedom of self-catering, combined with the facilities a hotel stay offers. With a restaurant and two bars on-site, as well as entertainment, from karaoke to a kids’ club, guests can be as independent or as involved as they like. Two sharing on a self- catering basis will pay from £439, with flights from Manchester on September 19, with Jet2holidays.
SPEND For a fun family holiday, Holiday Village Rhodes in Kolymbia is hard to beat. There’s plenty of water- based action to be had with five
pools, plus a kids’ pool with water slides and an adventure park. Activities range from volleyball to an aerial assault course and kids’ clubs guarantee non-stop entertainment. The restaurant choice, with a buffet and three à la carte dining options, will keep the whole family happy. Evenings are lively affairs with shows, cabaret, bingo and theme nights. First Choice offers all-inclusive
from £749 per adult, with the first child from £299 and £345 for the second, based on a family of four sharing, with flights from Stansted on September 10. For something a little more
peaceful, the Atrium Palace Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas, in Kalathos Bay on the east coast, is something of an oasis, set in palm gardens with cascading waterfalls, four miles from Lindos. The architecture blends elements of Greek and Italian design, with courtyards and bridges, and the thalassotherapy spa is a highlight, with sauna, hammam and jet pool and impressive treatment list. There’s the option of detached villas (sleeping two to six) with private pools if clients want to splurge. Olympic Holidays offers half-board stays from £743, with flights from Gatwick on September 24. The adult-only Atlantica Imperial Resort is perfect for a luxurious couples break at a great price. Flanked by cliffs and right on the seafront at Kolymbia, the location is idyllic, with the huge lagoon-style pool and whirlpool and the sounds of the waves (and no children) adding to the relaxing scene. Restaurants are of good quality, with buffet and à la carte. Half-
