FIND YOUR STRESS-FREE SUMMER ESCAPE

We’re here to keep your kids entertained non-stop throughout the summer holidays thanks to our fantastic children’s clubs in Crete. Run by our outstanding teams, we take great care of your children, from four months in our pb crèche, 4-7 years in Scallywags, 8-11 in The Zone and from 12 years in our PB Adventure Academy. We also offer our PB Scuba Academy for children aged 10 years and above who want to try diving for the first time.

Back inside they play with arts and crafts and enjoy sing-a-long story time, balancing indoor and outdoor activities, guaranteed to keep even the most active toddlers engaged!

We aim to create a home from home environment by asking you to provide detailed information pre-travel about routines, meal times and dietary requirements. We offer an indispensable pre-purchase service for all sorts of essentials including nappies, wipes, formula or favourite foods, so just let us know what you need and it will be waiting for you in your room. You’ll be able to speak to your crèche manager before you travel to help with any queries.
