Take your kids on a tour of Athens and the Peloponnese - home to Greece's best-preserved ruins. The country's largest peninsula is a land of steep mountains, pretty coastal towns, lovely beaches and seemingly endless archaeological sites. Stops at Olympia, Mycenae, Epidaurus and Corinth are also educational for the children. By the time you leave, not only will they have a golden tan but also a good knowledge of gods, heroes and the birthplace of democracy. Who says Greece is only ideal for honeymoon couples, it is also a perfect place for family trips.
