I know you’re visiting Greece for its fab beaches, its clean and safe water and for the amazing cruises. But staying at a hotel with a swimming pool actually means you can enjoy the water and sun more, without moving. Τhe hotels we recommend are both family friendly and with a swimming pool – 2 of them have private pools. They are both inland and on the islands!

Lithari Villas, Paxos island
This is one of our favorite islands on the whole world and since 2022, it is “home” to some charming family villas with panoramic views and luxurious amenities. Lithari Villas are situated just 1,5-2 km from the nearest beach, but Paxos is so small that you’ll easily drive around the whole island within a few days. The villas are all spacious, with fully equipped kitchens, large sitting areas, 2-3 bedrooms and 1-3 bathrooms and they all feature private swimming pools in their lovely patios.
