    Courtney

    Asked on January 22nd, 2026

    Can I pay for a room without a roommate?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Explore!OperatorWritten January 2026

      You're very welcome to book the Highlights of the Greek Islands tour as a solo traveller — you do not need to have a travel companion to join the trip.

      When booking, you have two accommodation options:

      Twin share (two single beds): You can choose this option and we'll pair you with another solo traveller of the same gender, if available.

      Single room: If you'd prefer your own room, you can book a single room for an additional supplement.

      Either option is perfectly fine, and many guests travel on their own on this tour.

  • E

    Erin

    Asked on June 13th, 2023

    Is there a tour that includes Athens, Santorini and Mykonos?

    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten June 2023

      We do not visit Mykonos on our trips. A week long highlights trip of the Greek islands. Starting in cosmopolitan Athens, travel by ferry to experience the best of the Cyclades Islands. Sample delicious Greek food, explore remote villages and enjoy a sunset dinner cruise on Santorini.
