Kwadwo + Marinela + Sean + Paloma
Islands, beaches, viking adventures & Barcelona sun
11 weeks of sun, sea, and family time - Jun 23 to Sep 7
Volcanic island with some of Greece's most unique beaches. Not the typical tourist island - lunar landscapes, hidden sea caves, incredible food. Perfect "bounty" beaches with turquoise water but wilder and more interesting than the classic Cyclades.
White moon-landscape cliffs with crystal water. The iconic Milos beach.
Pirate caves, only by boat. Jaw-dropping turquoise water.
Colorful volcanic cliffs, shallow water. Great for kids.
Tiny hidden cove. Adventure to climb down!
Natural rock pool between dramatic cliffs.
Home to arguably the best beaches in all of Greece. Elafonisi's pink sand lagoon, Balos with its Caribbean vibes, Falassarna's golden sunsets. Plus gorges, charming villages, and legendary Cretan food. Direct flights to Copenhagen make it the perfect bridge between Greece and Denmark.
Pink sand, shallow lagoon. Feels like the Caribbean. The #1 "bounty" beach.
Turquoise lagoon reached by boat or a 20-min cliff hike.
Wide golden sand, crystal water, incredible sunsets.
Dramatic hidden cove squeezed between cliffs.
Wild cedar forest beach near Elafonisi. Almost no people.
Calm, shallow water. Perfect for the kids.
House swap already arranged - so accommodation is free! August is the best Danish summer weather and overlaps with Danish family vacation time. Excellent public transport, bike-friendly city, and plenty to explore with the kids.
Copenhagen's public transport is excellent. Metro, S-train, buses cover everywhere.
Rent bikes and explore the Danish way. Great bike infrastructure everywhere.
Rent a car for trips outside Copenhagen - Roskilde, beaches, castles.
