Voidokilia Beach

Fatima, who fell in love with Greece while celebrating her son's first birthday, noted that Voidokilia Beach is not just a magical spot on the coast but also an ideal place for families.

“I was there with my son in Peloponnese. Voidokilia is shaped like the Greek letter Omega – it’s just stunning.”

Voidokilia Beach is considered one of the best in Greece. Its lagoon shape provides shallow water and small waves, making it a great spot for swimming with kids.

Although the beach can be crowded in the peak seasons, in October you can enjoy the coziness and tranquility.

This beach is located in the region of Messinia, near the traditional town of Pylos, with its white houses and ancient fortress.

The nearest airport to Messinia is Kalamata International Airport, and one-way tickets in October start from £30 with Ryanair. The flight takes less than four hours.

Simos Beach

Fatima also mentioned:

“Simos Beach on the island of Elafonissos is beautiful. You have to take a ferry to get to the island, but it's worth it.”

This small island, located between Peloponnese and Kythera, is accessible from Athens. Although you will have to spend some time traveling, Simos Beach is famous for its untouched natural beauty.

One-way tickets from Athens start at £25 in October if you fly with Ryanair from London Stansted.

Fatima emphasized:

“In Skopelos, you can explore Stafilos Beach. The beaches here are my favorites because they are special and very beautiful.”

This island is located north of Athens and belongs to the Thessaly region.

To reach Skopelos from Great Britain, you can fly to one of the mainland airports like Thessaloniki or Volos, and take a ferry.

One-way tickets to Thessaloniki from London Stansted take three hours and thirty minutes, and they are available from £30 with Ryanair in October.

Halkidiki

Fatima also added:

“Halkidiki in northern Greece has numerous beaches that are off the tourist routes on the first peninsula, Cassandra.”

“Or the beaches on the second peninsula, Sithonia, where the water is crystal clear, soft sandy shore, and shallow coves. These are the best beaches for family vacations.”

The best beach in Cassandra according to Tripadvisor is Posidi Beach, and in Sithonia, it is Kalogria Beach.

The nearest airport to Halkidiki is Thessaloniki Airport.
