Hi,

Am looking to book a weeks holiday for 2008 for myself, partner and kids (ages 5 and 2). We fancy trying Greece again (went a lot pre-kids, but have played it safe with Majorca since the kids came along).

We think it will probably be too hot to go in the height of summer (July/August) so are looking at half term week at end of May.

Have decided that Stoupa and Georgy P have the right mix of tradition, good food, nice beaches etc that we are after, but which one? Can anyone help us to decide or even recommend anywhere else we haven't considered?
Also what temp will it be and will it be cold at night in May?
And finally are both these resorts child friendly?

Thanks in advance everyone
Em

stoup or georgiopolis

Hi Em

We went to Stoupa 2005, and Georgiopolis 2006. Stoupa is beautiful, wonderful sunsets, good restaurants, lovely safe beaches. We loved it.

Georgiopolis isn't as pretty as Stoupa, but it may be better for the children. There is a crazy golf course there and a couple of soft play areas. We sat watching the fishermen and there was even a little tykes play house there. There are plenty of restaurants, and the beach is very long so there is always plenty of room for the kids to play around. We stayed at the Kokolas apts, where are you planning to stay?

The weather can be a little unpredicatable May/June, but generally it is good. We go August which can get too hot, but if you try Lesvos they have a lovely wind in August so it makes it really pleasent. We went to Petra staying in the Blue Sky apts. Our kids loved it there. Only problem for you would be the pool as they don't have a kids pool. But having said that you'd be with them all the time as they are so young.

I hope I have helped you a little and if there is anything else I can help you with please don't hesitate to ask.
