Santorin in Griechenland is a destination that Family plans for families, focusing on children, safety and short distances. Behind it stands Swiss Vibes, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, which puts together family trips with short distances. The planner asks about family and period, and on the video call Swiss Vibes clarifies the details.

Why this trip
Santorini looks like a postcard motif, and that is exactly why families should plan the island realistically: many steps, narrow paths and a view of a caldera where small children must not stand unsupervised. If you allow for that, you will experience an impressive island. A boat trip to the volcanic island of Nea Kameni is an experience for children, because they walk on black rock and see the edge of a crater. In Fira the Archaeological Museum of Thera, the Folklore Museum and the Santozeum museum offer small stops when it is too hot outside.
The three bells of Fira are a popular photo motif. In the afternoon, beaches with dark sand suggest themselves, where swim shoes help. Accommodation with a pool and without long flights of steps can be a great relief for families. The country data name May to June as well as September to October as the best time, when it is less hot and less crowded.
With a flight of about 2.5 to 3 hours, Santorini is easy to reach. Naxos and Paros lie nearby and are quieter, which often suits smaller children better.
