Family activities at Grecotel LUXME White
The Grecoland kids’ clubs and activity programme for children from four years old to teens immerses younger visitors in authentic experiences, including local cookery lessons, Greek culture sessions, and Greek dancing, as well as games and competitions. There’s also the one-off experience of optional visits to Agreco, Grecotel’s traditional farm and mini zoo a short drive from the property, where kids can play at being a farmer for the day with the likes of dough-making and vegetable-picking for a healthy Cretan lunch – and where all ages can tour the vintage olive oil stone press, see silk production and beehives, and taste age-old Cretan recipes.
Back at the resort, there’s a water sports school, snorkelling, board games, and entertainment, including, family discos, and shows, in addition to cinema screenings and daily DJ sets.
Something for the adults
While kids are enjoying the activities, adults can make the most of the sleek 'Hippie' spa, head for the adults-only area of the waiter service pools and beach, The White restaurant (Adults only 12+), or sign up for Pilates, stretching, and yoga classes.
