Kosher Summer Holidays 2026

From the UK and continental Europe, a kosher summer holiday usually fits into the school holiday window — UK schools break mid-July to early September, French and Belgian schools early July to early September, and Israeli schools late June to late August. goKosher curates kosher summer holiday options across the Mediterranean and Israel that work for these calendars.

Where UK and European families actually go

Greek islands (Corfu, Rhodes, Crete) — mehadrin hotel takeovers and rentals, 3-hour flights from London/Paris, walking-distance shuls in the main programs. Spain (Marbella, Estepona) — established kosher tourism infrastructure with several mehadrin restaurants. Italy (Lake Garda, Lake Como, Sorrento) — kosher takeover hotels run by Milan/Antwerp operators. Switzerland (Engelberg, Crans-Montana, Davos) — long-running mehadrin summer programs in the Alps. Israel year-round but especially August/September. Portugal and Cyprus are emerging.

What to look for

Confirm Beth Din supervision (KLBD, BDA, Antwerp, Zurich, Geneva Beth Din), Halav Yisrael status, walking-distance shul on Shabbat, swimming pool privacy options where relevant, and short transfers from the airport (many island programs add 90+ minutes of road time you should factor in).
