Best Balkans Singles Holidays in May

If you’re ready for something different this summer, it’s time to explore the Balkans. Often overlooked by many, you’ll be lost for words at the stunning scenery, storied history, and centuries-old architecture. For those looking for some early summer sun, you can’t miss the crystal-clear waters along the coast, perfect for a quick dip after exploring the mazey old towns. All of our trips include return flights, airport transfers, and tour leaders, leaving you free to enjoy your solo adventure, where you’ll meet a sociable group of other single travellers.


Boutique Luxury on Our Exclusive Montenegro Trip

Experience the best of Montenegro in style with our adults-only Solos Exclusive escape. Based in the stunning UNESCO-listed town of Kotor, you'll enjoy boutique accommodation, dramatic mountain backdrops, and the sparkling Adriatic at your doorstep. With no single supplements and your own room guaranteed, this is Montenegro solo travel at its finest—relaxed, refined, and perfect for those who want a blend of culture, coastal beauty, and sociable evenings with fellow travelers. Explore Kotor's medieval old town, take in breathtaking bay views, and unwind in a setting designed exclusively for solo travellers seeking something special.

 

Soak Up The Sun in Croatia

Trogir is the ideal spot for a solo holiday to Croatia—a perfectly preserved medieval town where marble streets wind through Venetian palaces, Romanesque churches, and waterfront cafés. Our base here gives you easy access to Split's ancient Diocletian's Palace and the cascading turquoise pools of Krka National Park, one of Croatia's most stunning natural wonders. With warm May sunshine, crystal-clear Adriatic waters, and a small group of like-minded solo travellers, this is Croatia as it should be experienced: at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time to explore, swim, and soak up the coastal charm.

 

 

Discover Albania

Albania is the Balkans' best-kept secret, and our escorted tour of Albania takes you deep into its fascinating history and dramatic landscapes. From the ancient ruins of Butrint—a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to Greek and Roman times—to the Ottoman-era stone streets of Gjirokastër and the stunning Albanian Riviera, this trip covers centuries of history in one unforgettable journey. With an expert tour leader guiding you through each site and a small group of fellow solo travellers by your side, you'll uncover stories, legends, and hidden corners that most visitors never see. Albania is raw, authentic, and utterly captivating—and May is the perfect time to explore before the summer crowds arrive.

 

Uncover Romania's Rich History

Step into a land of medieval castles, fortified churches, and legendary tales on our escorted tour of Romania. The Romania Legends & Landscapes trip takes you through Transylvania's mist-covered mountains, where Dracula's Bran Castle looms dramatically above the forests, and into charming Saxon villages frozen in time. With a small group and an expert guide, you'll explore Brașov's cobbled squares, Sighișoara's colorful medieval citadel (birthplace of Vlad the Impaler), and the painted monasteries of Bucovina—each one a masterpiece of art and history. This is Romania beyond the legends: deeply atmospheric, richly layered, and absolutely fascinating for history lovers and curious explorers alike.
