Great post, Liz! All these things with kids can help to build a healthy and everlasting relationship and keeps them alive all the time. In Summer holidays, while we travel with our children which are of age less than 12 may sometimes create difficulties in the vacations. For that, I have made a comprehensive list of tips for traveling with children without any worries and I am 100% sure you can also enjoy traveling with children by using these tips.

I perfectly understand your concern, because in a foreign country it is not so easy to figure out directions and generally negotiate with taxi drivers. Now I personally use this convenient service https://atobtransfer.com/greece/rhodes-airport-taxi-transfers/ which allows you to order a taxi to Rhodes airport in advance and travel comfortably to the hotel. Also in this service you can order a car tour of Rhodes to see the city and of course have a comfortable time.
