Eight days built for families — the sprawling Palace of Knossos and its Minotaur myths in Crete, gorge hikes and gentle swimming coves along the south coast, then a hop to Naxos for the safest, shallowest beaches in the Cyclades. Easy ferries, family-run tavernas and enough mythology to keep young imaginations busy all week. Add a Samaria Gorge coastal walk, Rethymno's Venetian-Ottoman old town, and a donkey-cart ride through Naxos's mountain villages, and eight days keep every age entertained.
