What do you need for sweat-free family beach trips in Greece? From ingenious water bottles to foldable umbrellas, we’ve rounded up the must-haves to make your outings with kids a lightweight breeze. And from the experts in summer holidays, we’ve also included Greek brands (Sun of a Beach, Terra Nation and Aelia Anna) we love. Remember, going to an “organised” beach (as they say in Greece, offering sunbeds, shade, and possibly refreshment), will greatly lighten your load (but limit your adventures). So research those options if you prefer not to drag an entire haul of paraphernalia.
For swimming adventures in the sea, mask-type goggles like the Aquasphere offers 180 degree panoramic vision to facilitate underwater explorations.
Don’t forget a beach blanket – quick-dry, sand-proof, lightweight and compact, Grand Trunk’s parasheet blankets have stake loops and sand anchor pocket corners to make sure they stay put.
And for the really prepared, an antiseptic pocket spray for accidents mists on for pain-free applications.
Spending more than a week on the beach? We’ve also put together an adventure kit to make the most of an unforgettable Greek summer.
