Your Fun Shack in Alkimos has a great, mulit-level indoor softplay style playground, along with a giant lighthouse climbing structure that my 5 year old just can’t get enough of.
Because it’s indoors (and air-conditioned!), it’s an excellent option all year round. The food is great (the portions are HUGE), the owner is friendly and accommodating, and they have $5 frozen cocktails on Fridays!
