It’s a great adventure to travel by yourself in Greece. Solo travel lets you have a great time with the locals, and explore at your own pace, which makes it a more authentic experience. Though I did receive a lot of strange looks from locals and travelers when I said I was solo traveling, Greece turned out be one of my favorite places to travel solo.

I wasn’t alone in my travels, and I have met numerous locals who were eager to welcome me into their home for a drink or just to chat on their front porches.

For those who are not natives, it may be challenging to locate the best areas to stay clear of in Greece. It is crucial to do some research about the most dangerous places to avoid prior to when you travel. Be extra cautious in large cities, particularly at evening when there is a lot of pickpocketing as well as follow general travel guidelines.

Learn Greek

It is extremely beneficial to know the language of your home country when you’re located in Greece as a country which does not speak English. It is essential to learn the basics of greetings as well as phrases that you can use in the event of an emergency. You must know how to ask for help and how to find local transportation.

Stress can make it hard to understand the language. In case of emergency, I recommend writing down essential phrases and storing them in your bag.

Get a phone with data

Since I had a data-enabled phone and a data-enabled phone, my recent trip Greece was a great success. It was a great help in getting from A – B and also kept me in good spirits on the road. Before you go to Greece, make sure the phone you use is not locked. Then, purchase a local SIM card on your arrival.

Maps Offline

I came across offline maps as an absolute lifesaver while in Greece. Launch the Google Maps app, click on the main menu, and look for “offline map”. After that, you can create a brand new or customized Google Map. When I leave home, I always download maps to my destinations. Paper maps are also readily available for those who don’t want to rely on technology.

Greece Tips for Female Solo Travelers

When I was in Greece I noticed that Greek males were more open-minded than other countries, however they were less intrusive or sexually attractive. They will often be quiet should you inform them politely men that you have no interest..

If you’re planning to discover the Greek hotspots and nightlife, I recommend joining tours. There are plenty of possibilities for nightlife options in Greece, and major tour companies offer wine tastings, or guided evenings.

How do you travel across the Greek Islands?

With a variety of flights and ferry options it’s easy to travel throughout the Greek Islands. Because of the unreliability of the ferry service, a ferry may be the only choice.

Ferries to the Greek Islands are often cancelled and so you should be prepared. Before you book ferry tickets, it is recommended to wait until arrival at the destination. Then, ask at a local booking center which ferry they suggest based on the weather forecast and other options.

Accommodation in Greece

With the exception of one luxury Santorini hotel My stay in Greece was spent mostly at Airbnb’s. I found Greek hospitality to be authentic. I was often picked up by my hosts and then dropped off. I also received local tips and meals that were home-cooked. Contact your host for tips or advice. They will be more than eager to help.

When choosing the right Airbnb or hotel ensure you pick a property that has good reviews and is in an easy location.

Driving in Greece

Driving in Greece isn’t easy. Google Maps was an excellent tool to help me navigate the island of Milos. It led me down dirt roads , which were frequently very narrow and lead me to dangerous spots. I could relax due to the fact that Greeks were so welcoming and accommodating.

However, I would not be tempted to drive in certain regions of Greece. Read reviews of other travelers about roads and driving conditions in the areas you are interested.

Public Transportation in Greece

Public transport is available in most places in Greece. Milos is served by a bus. You’ll also be allowed to drive your vehicle around the island in a smaller way like this.

It is simple to locate car rental locations. ATVs, scooters, and other small-sized cars are common in smaller islands.
