Therasia (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Therasia?
What makes it 49% Baby-Friendly: Suites can supply a crib and washing machine, but island access requires boat plus many stairs, pebble beaches are hard for strollers, and there are no nursing rooms or changing tables.
Positives:
- Low crowds: Fewer visitors than Santorini make for a relaxed pace with a baby
- Compact layout: Key spots lie close together, easy to navigate with a stroller
Challenges:
- Limited baby facilities: Few high chairs and no dedicated changing rooms on the island
- Pebbly terrain: Uneven paths and beach pebbles may slow stroller movement
What is Therasia?

What is so special about Therasia for with baby?
- Short ferry ride with free baby fare

Traditional Greek town, beautiful sunset views over to Mykonos. Much quieter and less of a tourist trap. Authentic Greece experience, friendly and knowledgeable locals who are more than welcoming. Not as many restaurants but lovely fresh food nevertheless. Recommend a visit.
