Holiday with a 5 month old - good or bad idea? Post Reply

Have been all around Greece when the boys were babies and have always found peaceful family hotels right on the beach
When they are 5-6 months it's indeed easier than when they start walking and can't stand on one place! Though, if you are on the beach I think this is the true paradise for small kids - they can keep digging that sand forever!

Would recommend Crete and Chalkidiki beaches, also those on Skopelos and Skiathos were amazing

A holiday is ALWAYS a good idea.

Just do it!

I took my two little ones to Sorrento when they were 6 months, and 18 months (year gap between them), and it was a really lovely, family-friendly area!

We stayed at the Prestige, which was in such an adorable location - I would recommend this for sure, and the flight over is also relatively short, which always helps with a 5 month old.

I missed the opportunity to plug my gites!
But for anyone travelling with young babies/toddlers - my gites are very child friendly .
Please check out my website www.maisondelaroche.com
we are based in the Languedoc in the South of France

I have traveled about three times a year since the twins who are now seven were born. My top tip for very young kids is the Sani but also Eagles Palace is gorgeous and much smaller with a baby/toddler crèche, the Martinalnin Portugal was awful with massive winds and sand storms on the Atlantic facing beach which it is built on so little kids hated hrhe beach as it just continuously blew sand in their eyes!
Many people rave about Pine Cliffs in Portugal which I would definitely try if we still had Toby children.

Mauritius is amazing and Bush Baby Travel have for great ideas and prices and great advice
