Spend seven nights at Sani Beach in northern Greece on this easy family holiday that combines beach time, space and excellent facilities in one well organised resort. With direct flights from Dublin to Thessaloniki, complimentary transfers and a sea view family room on a half board basis.
Sani Beach is part of the wider Sani Resort, a large, gated coastal estate that works particularly well for families. The long sandy beach has calm, shallow water, making it ideal for younger children, while lifeguards, clear pathways and buggy friendly routes help parents relax.
Children can take part in organised kids’ clubs, sports activities and supervised sessions, while older kids and teens have access to football pitches, tennis courts, watersports and bike hire across the resort. Pools are spread throughout the area, so families can move between quieter spots and more active areas depending on the day.
Your Family Room Sea View offers generous space and a practical layout for parents and children, close to the main beach and pool areas. Half board dining keeps mornings and evenings simple, with breakfast and dinner included, while allowing flexibility during the day.
Families also have access to Sani Marina, a lively area with ice cream shops, cafés, playgrounds and evening entertainment, all within walking distance or reached by the resort’s internal transport. The marina often hosts child friendly shows and events in the evenings, making it an easy option after dinner.
For quieter moments, the Sani Hill area offers walking trails and green spaces, ideal for a break from the beach, while nearby pine forests and coastal paths give plenty of room for short family walks.
Everything within Sani is designed to be safe, walkable and well organised, allowing children independence while parents remain close by, one of the reasons it works so well for repeat family visits.
An Antarctic expedition cruise is designed to take you beyond simply seeing the continent from a ship. Small inflatable Zodiac boats are used to explore bays, reach remote landing sites and get closer to the ice, wildlife and landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Most journeys are designed to get you somewhere as quickly as possible. The Blue Train does the opposite. Over three days and two nights, it travels roughly 1,600 kilometres between Pretoria and Cape Town, turning the distance between the two cities into an experience in its own right.
Europe is packed with iconic destinations, but some of its most rewarding holidays begin just beyond the well-trodden tourist trail. If you've already ticked off the big-name cities or simply fancy somewhere that feels a little different, there are plenty of places offering beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable food without the queues. From medieval towns on the Adriatic coast to volcanic islands in the Atlantic, these lesser-known corners of Europe prove that sometimes the best trips are the ones you weren't expecting.
