About this trip...
Part of our Solos Exclusives collection, enjoy this twin-centre holiday, combining 7 nights in Crete (Gouves) with 7 nights in Santorini (Perissa) for the perfect balance of relaxation and discovery. You’ll stay at two much-loved properties reserved exclusively for Solos guests—Iraklis Apartments and Villa Maistrali—so you can look forward to a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, a sunbed by the pool, and the warm company of fellow solo travellers.
These much-loved properties are perfect if you’re looking for peaceful days and sociable evenings in relaxed, like-minded company. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with genuine Greek hospitality—so it’s easy to feel like part of the family at both stays. It’s the best of both worlds. Begin in Gouves, Crete, a traditional resort with classic Greek charm and easy access to local sights, then head to Perissa, Santorini, where Villa Maistrali’s rooftop plunge pool serves up breathtaking 360-degree views—the ideal base for discovering the island’s whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches and dramatic cliffs.

Is a Solos Exclusives Trip Right For You?
Our Solos Exclusives are our most popular holiday style—small by design and reserved entirely for our guests. On this 14-night twin-centre journey, you won’t be "one of the only" solo travellers in a large resort; you’ll be part of a small group of 100% like-minded individuals in properties that are exclusively ours.
-
The First-Timer: This 14-night escape offers the ultimate safety net. We handle every detail—from regional flights and inter-island transfers to our hand-picked hotels—so you can focus on the Aegean views. With an experienced Tour Leader on-site for the full duration, you get the security of a group holiday with the total freedom to explore at your own pace.
-
The Social Soul: Enjoy the "buzz" of a group while maintaining the sanctuary of your own space. Whether you’re sharing home-cooked Greek dishes at the Iraklis family taverna in Crete or sipping local wine in Santorini, you’ll find a warm, easygoing atmosphere and a private room with no single supplement.
-
The Explorer: This trip is the best of both worlds. You have the total flexibility to choose between a volcanic hike and wine tasting in Santorini, or a trek through the stunning Samaria Gorge and a boat trip to Spinalonga in Crete. You don’t just have to lie around the pool (unless you want to!).
-
The Authentic Traveller: These are intimate, family-run hotels. Our hosts—like Mr. Drosos in Santorini and the Iraklis family in Crete—treat our groups like family. You’ll experience a level of genuine Greek hospitality and undivided attention that you only get in a property exclusive to Solos.
Best of both Greek islands
If you're drawn to the sea, sand, and cultural exploration, journey into the past with Crete's captivating sights. Conveniently located, make the most of the frequent coastal bus service to Heraklion's archaeological sites or Malia. Or why not dive into Cretan life with optional tours exploring Knossos or Spinalonga, a historic leper colony with a Venetian fort.
Optional Excursions
- Visit the Palace of Knossos
- Take in the intriguing history of Spinalonga
- Explore the local market in Gouves
- Visit the traditional and beautiful village of Oia, famous for its cobbled streets and famous whitewashed buildings with blue domed roofs.
- Experience the charm of neighbouring Thirassia.
- Enjoy tipple at Santos Wines whilst watching the spectacular Santorini sunset.
- Visit the monastery in the mountains, and buy local produce from the monks (you can even see it from our roof terrace!).
- Take a dip in the incredible hot springs and perhaps even climb the volcano.
