Sunny days splashing in the shallows and smiley, ice-cream-smeared faces are what family holidays are all about. But how do you create those all-important memories and guard a little quality time for yourself? After all, a chance to enjoy grownup conversation over a chilled glass of assyrtiko or simply devour a few pages of that beach read ensures you’ll return home rejuvenated, too.
