If you’re lucky, your May break will coincide with Tinos Food Paths, a food festival, which takes islanders and visitors alike around the island to discover the best gastronomic spots. Think beach barbecues, fish suppers at Tinos market, cuttlefish risotto on harbour-side tables – local recipes, local ingredients and, most importantly of all, in the company of the locals themselves.

Just a 30-minute sail from the party island of Mykonos, Tinos is a great choice for families & couples in search of the quieter, more authentic side to Greece.  

Villa Eti provides an ideal spot to kick-back at, complete with a fresh-water pool and a playground, and it’s an easy stroll to the beach.

If your holiday ticklist includes a pool and a beach nearby, cast a glance at Villa Chloe on Paros in the Greek Cyclades. Offering 4 bedrooms, spacious living areas, a beach-front infinity pool and ensuite bathrooms for all, the villa rents for €6,000/week at May half-term.
On Paros, expect whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches, blonde-sand beaches, and lively tavernas. A haven for families...Golden Beach, where Villa Chloe is situated, has the sandiest of shallow waters for toddlers and young children. An ideal spot for windsurfing too.
The kitchen cabinets alone make us want to go back....
