Tots Exclusive Family Deal
This stunning Greek resort is set in three acres of gardens with everything your family could need in the way of sun, safety and fun, so you’ll get the chance to relax.
The detached villa is set on a single storey, so there are no stairs for wobbly little legs. The open plan living area is bright and welcoming with a kitchen, dining table and sitting area.
Immediately outside your villa, there’s a private terrace and barbecue area, for laid-back evening meals; this leads through a gate to your own private plunge pool.
For more sociable days, head to the shared pool, which has a separate toddler pool for new swimmers. There is a bar area here, where you can enjoy a drink and a snack, with a children's menu available.
The resort offers a fun Clubhouse with a creche and kids' club run by qualified British nannies; for children as young as six months and up to 10 years. There’s also a supervised children’s evening crèche session at the kids’ club.
Periyali is located at the southern-most tip of the Greek island of Zakynthos, conveniently close to local tavernas and a 10 minute walk from a sheltered beach with calm blue waters; the laid-back vibe of the area will help you to feel relaxed, even on trips out and about.

Your booking for this villa comes complete with flights and car hire included. Several flights are available to choose leaving from Heathrow and Gatwick, and regional airports on request.
The car hire is organised locally for you and all Tots bookings come complete with air-conditioning and the age appropriate forward facing car seat for your child/children. Parents that require a rear facing car seat for small babies will need to bring one with them.
Knight Family, August 2018
Lovely, peaceful location.
The Webb Family, October 2017
Great location if you want to be walking distance from both beach & taverna - not fancy but perfect for our 2 year old and 4 month baby. Staff at the creche were fantastic.
The Mackay Family, May 2015
We had a great stay in Zakynthos. It was our first holiday with Iain being just 15 months old, and I was a bit nervous as to how things would go but it was perfect. Iain went to the creche most afternoons and was very happy there, thanks to all the girls who looked after him. The creche was great with a lot to do, and he came back at the end of the week with a book full of his 'art' and a chocolate krispie biscuit which I had to eat in case it melted.
The Juttner-Hart Family, May 2015
Periyali Villas, Zakynthos - simply brilliant - SUCH a great set up - really does give you the privacy of a boutique villa resort with an excellent childrens' facility.

This two-bedroom villa is laid out on a single storey, which is ideal for being close to the little ones at all times, and means that there’s no tricky stairs for wobbly little walkers.
Entering the villa, you’ll feel immediately welcomed into the light and airy open plan living area, where there is a dining table, sitting area and kitchen, which has colourful kids’ crockery.
There’s a beautifully relaxing beach villa vibe in here, with white and blue décor and high ceilings, which are open up to the rafters; there are comfy sofas in the sitting area with a television and selection of children’s DVDs.
The hallway leads to the two bedrooms and the family bathroom, which has both a bath and a shower.
The children’s bedroom has twin beds with both shutters and curtains to provide complete darkness, so little ones will sleep the whole night through (and maybe even past dawn!)
Attached to your villa, you'll find an enclosed dining terrace and a pool.
The small plunge pool is perfect for a little splash about with the family, with Roman steps leading down into the water; there are sun loungers poolside to relax on.
Outside of your private garden, the shared resort swimming pool is perfect for socialising, with steps into the water, and a separate toddler pool to splash about in. The shared pool area is not fully enclosed so little ones will need supervision in this area.
Enjoy a snack or drink from the poolside bar, which has a kids’ menu.
The crèche and children’s club are run by English-speaking nannies with a NNEB qualification or equivalent to provide the best care for your children; there are full-day and half-day options, which incur an additional charge, and you'll need to book in advance.
Children from the ages of six months and up to 10 years are catered for and the options for sessions include morning and afternoon sessions with an extra evening crèche session, depending on which childcare you have booked.
The Hatchling's Club has a separate room for babies and toddlers up to the age of three, with sensory toys and books to stimulate the minds of little ones, with a nursery room for naps.
The Turtle Club for children aged four to 10 is full of all of the latest toys and games, which are updated every year. The large outdoor area has a sandpit, outdoor toys and a play area, and is safely enclosed with plenty of shade.
Daily activities will get little ones socialising with face painting and mask making for creativity and scavenger hunts for little adventurers.
The evening crèche session provides the perfect opportunity for parents to venture into Zakynthos for a well-deserved evening meal alone, followed by a drink or two.

It has recently been renovated so there are plenty of loos and showers, as well as sun bed and shade rental; it has free parking and a privately owned snack bar.
It is quite a walk into the sea before it is deep enough to swim, so there’s plenty of shallow water for babies and toddlers to play.

Boat Tour
Mario’s Glass Bottom Boat Tours are well-loved for the friendly hosts and amazing sights. Tours travel out to Turtle Island where the whole family can enjoy watching turtles swim.
There’s a chance to swim in the sea where the turtles lay their eggs, and little ones won’t miss out, as life jackets are available.
The peaceful beach is a sight of untouched, primitive beauty and boat passengers are usually the first visitors to the beach.
Zakynthos Town
If you want to do some shopping and experience a touch of Greek culture, take a visit to Zakynthos Town, which is a 30 minute drive from the resort. There are plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat, and the harbour is a lovely place to visit, especially at night.
