What people love about Mediterranean Tours for Young Adults
- Mamma Mia! - 13 Day Italian Adventure (Age 21 To 41)
We booked the Mama Mia trip and had an amazing experience! Italy on a Budget is a company that truly cares about their travelers, especially Anastasia who works in the office. They were easy to work with and were flexible in helping tailor the trip to our wants and needs. The trip was well-organized and managed, eliminating much of the stress that comes with traveling. What made the trip for us was that we had the best tour leaders: Elisa, Giovanni and Lorenzo. They introduced us to the locals favorite spots and helped us get the most out of our time in each location by making sure we were safe and guiding us through busy train stations and cities. Each one of them love what they do and are truly outstanding in their field. We not only got to see amazing new things, but we also got to learn and appericate the Italian culture through our travel leaders. We felt a great sense of community throughout are time here and are grateful for our travel leaders that looked out for us as we were away from home. Book the trip!!
- Italy Must-See: Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, Florence, Cinque Terre & more!
I had a great time on our tour of Rome, Florence and Venice with day trips to Cinque Terre and Tuscany. It represented great value with a fully trained tour guide on each day guiding you through the trip and a free apperitivo and welcome meal included along with the accommodation. A special shout-out to our tour guides Anna and Elisa who were amazing. It was great to get to know them as well as learn more about the cities we visited. Their local knowledge really enhanced the tour and I was always given great recommendations for things to do or food and drink to try whether it was pasta, pizza, Italian bread, an apperitivo or gelato (I ate a lot of gelato!) Highlights of the tour included trying Carbonara as part of our welcome dinner in Rome, exploring all the great architecture of Rome and the Vatican and our day trip to Tuscany where we tried various different wines and it really felt like a proper Italian experience. Thank you to Italy on a Budget tours for making this such a memorable tour. I think I'll have to come back and go to Southern Italy next time!
- Essential Turkey
Enjoyable tour that took you around some must-see parts of Turkey. Highlight of the trip was the 2 night stay on the boat- the couple who owned the boat were so lovely and they cooked phenomenal meals for us during our stay. Accommodation was decent and we were lucky to have had a private bus that took us around during the first part of the tour. Highly recommend!
What our customers ask about Mediterranean Tours for Young Adults
Which Mediterranean destinations are best for young adult nightlife?
For vibrant nightlife head to Mykonos, Ios Barcelona and the French Riviera. Each destination offers its own distinct party scene with options for every taste. Young travelers can explore beach clubs rooftop bars and dance venues that stay lively until dawn. In Ios for example the Far Out hostel has become a hub for socializing with its own club while Mykonos' Paradise Beach Club draws international crowds. Barcelona's Gothic Quarter comes alive after dark with countless bars and clubs packed into its medieval streets.
What are the must-visit Mediterranean beaches for young travelers?
The standout beaches include Paradise Beach and Super Paradise in Mykonos, Perissa Beach in Santorini and Mylopotas Beach in Ios. These spots offer more than just sand and sea. You'll find beach bars water sports rentals and a social atmosphere that makes it easy to meet fellow travelers. Many beachfront properties like Paradise Beach Resort put you steps from the action. The water stays warm enough for swimming from late spring through early fall with peak beach season in July and August.
Which Mediterranean destinations offer the best value for young travelers?
Budget-conscious travelers should focus on the Greek Islands and Croatian coast rather than major Western European cities. Places like Ios and Paros deliver excellent value with lower prices for accommodation food and activities. A typical meal in these destinations costs 8-15 euros compared to 20-30 euros in Rome or Barcelona. Local wines beers and basic rooms often cost half what you'd pay in France or Italy while still delivering authentic Mediterranean experiences.
What are the most Instagram-worthy spots in the Mediterranean for young travelers?
The Mediterranean serves up endless photo opportunities from Santorini's iconic blue domes to Barcelona's soaring Sagrada Familia. The pastel-colored towns of Italy's Amalfi Coast and Venice's winding canals offer natural backdrops that need no filter. Most organized tours build in time at prime photo locations including stops at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Early morning and sunset provide the best lighting especially in places like Oia Santorini where crowds gather to capture the golden hour.
What kind of nightlife can young travelers expect in the Mediterranean?
Each destination has its signature nightlife scene. Mykonos leads with Paradise Beach's open-air clubs while Barcelona's Gothic Quarter fills with bar-hoppers until sunrise. Florence draws crowds to Santo Spirito's casual wine bars and Rome's Trastevere neighborhood buzzes with street life and local pubs. The party usually starts late with most clubs hitting their peak around 1 AM. Many venues stay open until 6 AM especially during high season from June through September.
What type of accommodation can young travelers expect on Mediterranean tours?
Tour accommodations typically range from social hostels to comfortable 3-star hotels. Properties like New Haroula Hotel in Santorini and Alex Hotel in Mykonos represent the standard. Most places offer both shared and private room options with basic amenities like WiFi air conditioning and daily housekeeping. Locations tend to be central putting you within walking distance of main attractions restaurants and nightlife areas. Expect clean functional rooms that serve as good bases for exploring.
