A family holiday in Greece can take very different forms, from exploring Athens with children to spending several days at an island family resort in Greece. This variety makes the country especially flexible when travelling with children of different ages.
Meliá Hotels International offers accommodation in Athens, Crete and Rhodes, allowing families to choose according to location, preferred board basis and the type of holiday they want. Meliá Athens provides an urban base for sightseeing, while SOL Marina Beach Crete and SOL Cosmopolitan Rhodes are island hotels with a stronger resort focus. Both island properties offer All Inclusive stays, pools and facilities aimed at family holidays.
These three family friendly hotels in Greece cover both city breaks and Mediterranean island holidays.

All three are officially 4-star hotels. SOL Marina Beach Crete specifically lists a Mini Club and activities for children, while SOL Cosmopolitan Rhodes combines an All Inclusive family resort format with a Mini Club and Splash Park.
When comparing a kid friendly hotel in Greece, the most useful facilities depend on the children’s ages and the rhythm of the trip. Pools can make downtime easier, while children’s programmes and dedicated spaces give younger travellers activities beyond sightseeing.
At SOL Marina Beach Crete, families can find outdoor swimming pools, a kids’ club and activities designed for children. The hotel is presented by Meliá as a family-focused property in Gouves, making it suitable for longer resort stays.
SOL Cosmopolitan Rhodes also has a clearly family-oriented approach, with an All Inclusive format, swimming pool, Splash Park and Mini Club.
In Athens, the experience is more urban. Families considering Meliá Athens can prioritise its central setting and use the hotel as a base for days spent discovering the Greek capital. Child-specific room arrangements or additional family services should always be checked for the selected travel dates.
Athens works well for families interested in history, museums and cultural sightseeing. Staying at Meliá Athens places the trip in an urban context, with the city’s major attractions forming the focus of each day rather than resort entertainment. The hotel is centrally located and offers views towards landmarks including the Acropolis.
Crete offers a different experience. SOL Marina Beach Crete is in Gouves, where families can combine pools and organised activities with time by the Mediterranean. Its All Inclusive format can simplify meal planning for parents travelling with younger children.
Rhodes is another island option for families looking for a resort-style stay. SOL Cosmopolitan Rhodes combines organised entertainment, children’s spaces and an All Inclusive format, while the wider island provides opportunities for cultural excursions and exploring Rhodes beyond the hotel.
Together, Athens, Crete and Rhodes give this selection of family hotels in Greece three distinct ways to plan a family trip.
Families travelling to Athens normally arrive through Athens International Airport. Crete is served by airports including Heraklion International Airport, while Rhodes has Rhodes International Airport, making the three destinations accessible for international family travel.
Spring and early autumn are particularly comfortable for combining sightseeing with outdoor activities, thanks to milder temperatures. Summer is the main season for island stays and pool-focused holidays, especially in Crete and Rhodes. Families planning Athens in the hottest months may prefer to organise outdoor sightseeing earlier or later in the day.
Travel dates should also be matched to the hotel experience required: the island properties are better suited to a classic family resort Greece holiday, while Athens works naturally as a cultural city break.
The right family resort in Greece depends on whether the priority is children’s entertainment, an All Inclusive board basis or location. Within the Meliá Hotels International selection, SOL Marina Beach Crete and SOL Cosmopolitan Rhodes are the clearest resort-style choices, with pools and child-focused activities.
Crete and Rhodes suit families looking for island holidays with pools and resort facilities, while Athens is better for a city break centred on culture and sightseeing. The best destination therefore depends on the children’s ages and whether the trip is focused on relaxation, activities or exploring historic sites.
Both Crete and Rhodes can work well for family travel. Crete offers SOL Marina Beach Crete, with a kids’ club and family activities, while Rhodes has SOL Cosmopolitan Rhodes, with a Mini Club, Splash Park and All Inclusive format.
Neither island is universally better. Crete may suit families wanting a broad island destination with resort facilities and excursions, while Rhodes combines a compact island experience with historic sightseeing and family-oriented accommodation. Comparing the children’s ages, travel dates and preferred activities is the most useful approach.
The Meliá Hotels International selection featured here consists of Meliá Athens, SOL Marina Beach Crete and SOL Cosmopolitan Rhodes. Together, these family hotels in Greece cover an urban stay in Athens and resort-style holidays in Crete and Rhodes, including All Inclusive family hotel options with pools and activities for children.

“The moment you come in this hotel it feels like joining a big friendly happy family. Everyone from the personel takes good care of their guests. Facilities are well maintained and lot of things to do for adults and children. The hotel is directly across the street from the Sea and this is even better. The view from top floors at night is just incredible. Fun fact - since I had been to brand Melia hotel (in Fuerteventura) and was looking for a statement glass of Prosecco in the morning - the hotel manager Parajodis offered to send me a bottle to my room - just to keep a demanding client happy - which I though was very professional and skillful :). Very happy now!”See hotel
