Travelling with kids? Then you’ve come to the right place. Here at Wave & Sand Apartments, we welcome many families every year — and as locals, we’re always happy to recommend places and activities that make holidays relaxing, fun, and stress-free for both children and parents.
If you’re staying in Pefkochori or Chanioti, here are our favorite family-friendly things to do, all within easy reach from our apartments.
Both Pefkochori and Chanioti offer shallow, calm waters and soft sandy or pebbled beaches. Perfect for young children who want to splash around safely.
There’s shade (from pine trees or umbrellas), nearby beach bars for snacks, and clear water with no big waves. Most organized beaches also have showers and toilets — very practical when you’re with kids.
Our tip:
Bring buckets and beach toys — and let the little ones play for hours.
In the evening, a small tourist train circles the center of Pefkochori. Kids absolutely love it, and it’s a charming way to take in the village’s atmosphere.
Rides are inexpensive and last about 20–25 minutes.
A fun and memorable activity — especially at sunset!
Both villages have beautiful seaside promenades where you can enjoy a slow walk in the evening.
And what’s a holiday without ice cream?
There are plenty of shops selling colorful scoops, fruit cups, waffles, and crepes. A sweet treat for all ages.
Chanioti has small parks and public playgrounds, often near the beach and shaded by trees.
In summer evenings, you might also find trampolines, mini car rides, or tiny merry-go-rounds in both villages — just the thing to keep kids entertained while parents relax nearby.
Kids love browsing little shops and choosing bracelets, shells, magnets or beach toys.
The central streets of Pefkochori and Chanioti are filled with small souvenir shops open late into the night. It’s fun, safe, and part of the vacation magic.
Our apartments are designed with families in mind:
✔️ Separate bedrooms
✔️ Kitchens to prepare snacks or quick meals
✔️ Quiet surroundings
✔️ Spacious terraces — perfect after kids go to bed
