COSTA NAVARINO, Messinia, Greece
Children are notoriously easy to please; adults with children, on the other hand, are somewhat harder. Luckily, there’s plenty to keep both camps happy for a week or more at Costa Navarino. The resort encompasses two five-star hotels and is single-handedly taking on the task of bringing the Messinia region of Greece, in the southwestern part of the Peloponnese, to life through the highest quality environmentally and socially responsible tourism. Check in to The Westin resort with the whole family, where the kids can hop between two outdoor pools and an impressive water park, enjoy a game of basketball or tennis, go climbing or even go-kart racing. Or you can drop them off at the Sandcastle and Cocoon club, where there’s full-time childcare available for children from four months to 12 years old. You’ll then be free to enjoy your own private pool, book some spa time, or head down to the beach for cocktails and calamari at the excellent Barbouni beach bar. The nearby pretty town of Pylos is worth an afternoon explore if you can drag yourself away from the resort. BOOK IT: Red Savannah offers seven nights B&B for a family of four (with children under 12), including flights and transfers, from £4,262. redsavannah.com 110 | COUNTRYANDTOWNHOUSE.CO.UK | August 2018
