Families are never bored on Rhodes, even during cooler spring and autumn breaks.

Young imaginations are fascinated by the Old City, with its walls, moats and Palace of the Grand Masters built by the Knights of St John. A new cinema, the Throne of Helios, brings the island’s action-filled history and famous Colossus to life for little ones.

Away from Rhodes Town, stroll through the Valley of the Butterflies, or Farma Rhodes where kids can feed ostriches. Near the waterpark in Faliraki, under-12s stay free at the Grecotel LuxMe Dama Dama (rooms for four from £247). odysseus.culture.gr throneofhelios.com valleyofbutterflies.com farma-rhodes.com damadama.grecotel.com
