Since they were able to walk and talk, Kevin Flanagan has made sure to travel with his grandkids Kuba (9)  and Maya (7). 

“When Kuba was 4, I took him skiing. Since then, three of us have enjoyed multiple ski holidays, as well as trips to Lake Garda, Venice, Antwerp and Ghent,” says Kevin.

The upside of travelling with your grandkids? “You get to share what you love, which for me is skiing and art. And it's a gift that will keep on giving when they are adults. Plus, I have learnt so much from them. Some of my standout memories in life revolve around travelling with my kid and grandkids. They include taking my son when he was 12 to the World Cup in New York and the numerous occasions with my grandkids. And while they offer challenges, kids can be the most rewarding travel companions!”

Is Sani Resort in Greece the best family-friendly resort in the world? Very possibly! According to TripAdvisor, Sani Resort is one of the Top 10 Hotels for Families in the World, one of the Top 5 Hotels for Families in Europe and the Top Hotel for Families in Greece. 

The reasons? Perhaps it is the UEFA approved soccer pitch with coaching courtesy of Chelsea Football Club? Or the Rafa Nadal tennis coaching on first class tennis facilities? The free Babywatch - baby beach-minding service? The vast range of supervised watersports? The 22 restaurants spread over the five hotels on 7klm of white sand? Or is it the ice-cream van that tours the beach offering FREE ice-cream! 

Whatever the reason, Kevin Flanagan discusses why this resort is a must for parents with kids from six months to 16 years.
