'Peaceful' and 'kids' don't seem to go together from my experience. Adults
like peaceful whilst kids want excitement.

However if you really want a peaceful island I would say Lipsi might fit the
bill. I was stranded there 2 years ago in October for several days - the
winds got up and the hydrofoils were grounded. It was extremely peaceful but
after 4 days I was quite relieved to escape to Patmos (which is also quite
peaceful in fact).

I think that you can find a peaceful place in every island (Myconos too!!!).
It depends on the house/hotel you choose for your holidays.

Naxos. Plenty of quiet beaches with calm, shallow water and soft sand.
Do stay south of Naxos Town though, as it can get a bit crowded in
town and immediately south of it.

It looked nice on the website. :-)

>(away from town), Crete (the south coast), etc. etc.

If s/he's going this year, there are very few flights left and
there are none that I can find to the Cyclades.

Second that. A few years ago we flew to Heraklion, (=Hersonisos!), Crete,
but after just over one hour by car we found ourselfs in a totally different
place. One hour!

Jan:

My family spent 10 days in Kefalonia in September. It was great! The
island is so large that you never run out of places to explore/visit either.
We were based in Skala.
