Being a parent is probably one of the most difficult things in the world, and if you combine it with travelling, which has its hurdles even without kids, you get an interesting mixture, to say the least.
The best family hotels in Santorini are scattered throughout the island, but I have tried to categorize them by kids’ age group to give some additional help to your research.

Best Things to Do in Santorini
Even though I really love Santorini and Mykonos, it’s only fair to say that these two Greek islands are not the best, nor that they offer the same comfort for families. They don’t have the same amount and quality of all-inclusive family resorts you can find on other Greek islands, but that doesn’t mean you are not going to have a great time with your family there.
Both islands have fantastic beaches (though Mykonos beachesare much better and sandier than Santorini beaches), and this by itself can make a fantastic holiday because a sandy beach is a kid’s heaven!⚠️ But I want to make this clear:
You ARE NOT going to find hotels, resorts, and mega all-inclusive complexes with kid’s clubs and water slides in Santorini. You can only find these in Crete, in Rhodes, in Corfu, and in Kos islands. The family hotels in Santorini are mostly small, family-run businesses with relatively small pools.

CONCLUSION
It’s safe to say that you will have an amazing holiday in any of the above family hotels in Santorini. I honestly believe that staying by the beach in Santorini, if you are visiting with kids, is the best thing to do. If you are bringing a stroller (buggy or pram), then it would be good to know that places such as Perivolos and Kamari are much more friendly.In theory, you can bring the stroller to Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, and Oia, but it won’t be hassle-free as there might be steps and uneven surfaces. Been there, done that! If you are visiting the island with teenage kids, then probably staying on the more expensive side of the island with the caldera views might be better, as it has more Instagrammable views and generally is more vibrant and closer to the “action”.
