Ambassador To Be Confirmed
Take the second week of the school summer holidays at IKOS Odisia in Halkidiki, on a five-star family football break beside the Aegean. From Monday 2 August to Friday 6 August 2027, the five-star IKOS Odisia in Halkidiki, Greece opens its doors to Football Escapes families for a week of world-class coaching, five-star hospitality, and the kind of time together your family will remember for years.
The second state-school summer week at IKOS Odisia delivers peak Halkidiki summer on the Sithonia peninsula. The coast is at its most spectacular, the Aegean is at its warmest, and the resort is humming with proper summer-holiday energy.
Coaching runs every weekday morning with a top professional ambassador (to be confirmed for 2027) and our team of UEFA-licensed coaches on a pristine pitch at the heart of the resort. While your child is training, the morning is yours. The afternoon and evening are for the family to enjoy together.
Football is the heart of the week, but it is a holiday for everyone. The week builds from the first session on Monday to the medal ceremony on Friday, with a Parents' Game, ambassador Q&As, FE Games Night, and plenty of moments your kids will still be talking about on the flight home.
No two Football Escapes weeks are the same. Around the morning sessions, we run a programme of extras that can include parent challenges, pool games with the coaches, padel with the ambassador, golf for the grown-ups, and the occasional yoga class for whoever fancies it. The schedule shifts week to week. Ask us about your week and we will walk you through it.
Who is the 2027 ambassador for this week? That is the question. We have worked with World Cup winners, Premier League legends and current internationals in the past, and our 2027 line-up is being locked in now. Booking before the reveal is the only way to secure your child's place.
Why this week? Summer at IKOS Odisia is Halkidiki at its best, warm Aegean water, pine-fringed coves, and a five-star resort built for families. With only 25 places on each course, the experience feels personal from day one.
How it works
Booking is simple. Tell us the week and we will handle the rest, including your five-star stay at IKOS Odisia, your child's place on the course, and flights if you need them. Holidays are normally a week or more and the football course runs Monday to Friday morning, so the rest of the day is yours.
Places are limited to 25 children per course, and the only way to guarantee one is to book your holiday through Football Escapes.
This is more than a football camp. It is a once-in-a-lifetime family holiday. Reserve your place at IKOS Odisia for 2 to 6 Aug 2027 today.
