Why Greece is perfect for a singles holiday

There are many places around the world to enjoy a lovely break, but Greece is one of the best destinations on the planet for singles holidays. Those after holidays for one person will find so much to love about Greece beyond its famously spectacular weather. If you are searching for your next holiday location, discover a few reasons to choose Greece.

There is lots to see and do

Greece has one of the most impressive collection of attractions and activities on the planet. Greece was once the centre of the ancient world, and the remains of its remarkable history can still be seen today via its spectacular temples and monuments.

It’s not all ancient ruins and impressive old churches, however, as you will find the most amazing beaches across Greece and its islands. If it’s a relaxing holiday in the sand that you are looking for, there is a spot by the sea with your name on it in Greece.

Further still, Greece’s various cities, towns, and villages are fascinating in their own right, with lots of lovely places to stop for a refreshing beverage and exciting markets to explore.

House parties are perfect for singles holidays

One of the best ways to experience Greece on a singles holiday is by opting for house party-style accommodation. Our house parties in Greece are recommended for first-time solo travellers, as they are perfect environments for a sociable holiday.

In a comfortable house or villa, you get to stay with like-minded single travellers with other guests of Friendship Travel. With your own room, communal eating areas, and social spaces like pools, patios, and gardens to enjoy, combined with the freedom to explore the local area, it’s a brilliant way to experience Greece.

For example, you could consider a house party singles holiday in Zante, allowing you to enjoy beautiful beaches and the bustling town. Or you could try Pefkos on the historic island of Rhodes, where you can experience incredible relics from Greece’s ancient past.

Awesome food

You can also look forward to some delicious food when on holiday in Greece. Top restaurants and tasty grub is part of any good holiday. Greek cuisine is simple but elegant, packed with subtle flavours and lots of healthy produce. Greek food is considered among the world’s healthiest, but there is plenty of opportunity to pig out on comfort food too.

Whether you are looking for a vibrant restaurant for dinner or a quiet café for lunch, you won’t be short of options, as Greeks love their food. If you decide to take the plunge and head to Greece on your next singles holiday, make sure to try some of these popular Greek dishes:

Moussaka (Aubergine casserole)
Papoutsakia (Stuffed aubergine)
Pastitsio (Greek lasagna)
Souvlaki (Gyros)
Soutzoukakia (Greek meatballs)
Stifado (Greek beef stew)
Tomatokeftedes (Tomato fritters)

There’s an experience for everyone

A singles holiday to Greece is always a fun affair. One of the beautiful things about choosing Greece is the incredible variety in terms of the kinds of holiday you are able to enjoy.

Some might be happy with a week sunbathing under the hot Greek sun and nights out on the town. Others might be more interested in exploring the local area, going on excursions to Greek islands, and enjoying water sports.

You can even enjoy holidays which focus on one activity. For example, artists will want to take advantage of a Zante painting week, including fun workshops and courses led by an experienced artist. You can take inspiration from the island’s beautiful surroundings and enjoy five days of painting with breakfast and dinner included.
