Summer 2025 Family Holiday

Any suggestions on where to stay, which airport to fly into, car rental, etc? Traveling in mid June

We like the beach and are interested to know where the best ones on the island are. Also, a beachside four to five star resort is preferable. My wife, 12 year old daughter and myself will be on the trip.

We'd like to take a ferry to the Italian mainland if that is possible. Want to visit Puglia or Bari for a couple of days. Any suggestions? Thanks!
