Greek Islands for Solo Travelers: Crete & Santorini
9 days | 12 days with Rome extension | Estimated monthly payments as low as $217 CAD
Special Event Spotlight
Explore the best of the Greek Islands alongside fellow solo travelers.
In Greece, you don’t just visit ancient ruins. You step back into the world of Zeus and Athena. And dinner at a taverna is more than a daily activity. It’s a chance to mix and mingle with friendly locals while practicing your Greek. (Yamas, which means cheers, will get you far!) As you hop from archaeological treasures in Athens to Crete and over to sunsets on Santorini, you and your group of like-minded solo travelers will find that the best sunset is the one enjoyed with a glass of assyrtiko in hand and new friends at the table. Not ready to leave? We wouldn’t want to, either. Experience the Italian art of dolce far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing. Take advantage of our two-day Rome extension and take your time over a frothy cappuccino.

Overall, the tour was great! Our tour director, Fani, was kind, patient and a wonderful guide! The first hotel we stayed at in Athens was located in a very sketchy area. It was not centrally located and a bit scary to walk around. There was no fine dining nearby other than the...
