Trying to juggle work while parenting two teenage boys can often mean a never-ending cycle of standing on the sidelines of rain-sodden football pitches, washing dirty sports kit or generally ferrying children from one event to the next. So when an opportunity arose for a romantic weekend getaway in Greece without the kids, my partner and I didn’t hesitate to call in the parenting reserves (the mother-in-law) and jump on the first available plane to Halkidiki, a sun-kissed peninsula in the north of the country.
We were headed to Sani, which over the course of 40 years has slowly become a resort which makes the exclusive inclusive. It’s a superbly laid out, easy to navigate and meticulously-managed beach oasis.
