3 weeks in greece with 2 kids
How would you divide up a 3 week stay in Greece if going with 2 little children under 3years old. we LOVE the beach but need activities/sights to keep the kids interested, maybe every other day we'd do beach.

Hi
I would spend at least a week on the island of Paros. There's a couple of very safe/shallow beaches there. I loved Piso Livadi. Check it out - http://www.aegeanstyle.com/paros/piso-livadi.html. Kids love water so they'll amuse themselves while you chill out (with a couple of drinks
) watching them. The Hotel Corali is on the beach - http://www.hotelcorali.gr. They have two room apartments at reasonable prices. Or you can stay close to the main town Parikia. Near the town is Livadia, another good kiddies beach. Try Paros Paradise - http://www.parosparadise.com

I agree. Paros is excellent for small children. Even the beach in the main village of Parikia is very calm and shallow.
Naxos also has lots of kid-friendly beaches.
I don't know what sort of activities/sights will keep your kids interested but if you think a waterpark would work there's one in Perissa Beach on Santorini connected to the Meltemi Resort.

If you love the beach and would plan to do it every other day, my recommendation would be to stay in the US and go to Florida.
I don't know your circumstances but I wouldn't take small kids to Europe if you didn't have to. Wait a few years until your kids are old enough to remember it. I personally would have been upset if my parents took me to all sorts of incredible places before I was old enough to walk and enjoy them. Save the money and go with them when they are older. They'll appreciate it more and you'll be less stressed.

I am VERY confused as you have over 8 different threads with you and your family going to various beach vacations in Europe,Caribbean,etc.
Where are you going? I suggest that you consolidate your threads for easier viewing and help.
