Where To Escape ToThis Summer withSolos

1. The Slow Pace of Puglia, Italy

If you’re looking to trade the tourist crowds for something more soulful, Puglia is the answer. In June, the "heel" of Italy is bathed in a soft, golden light. It’s a place for long lunches in whitewashed hill towns and wandering through ancient olive groves. Our Puglia Hidden Gems trip isn't about rushing from sight to sight; it’s about absorbing the "slow life" alongside people who appreciate a good panzerotto and a great conversation.

2. Island Solitude in Santorini, Greece

While Santorini is famous for its blue domes, our Solos Exclusive experience in May and July is designed to show you the quieter side of the island. Imagine having a base where you can retreat from the caldera crowds to your own space, then regroup with the gang for a relaxed dinner as the sun dips into the Aegean. It’s the perfect balance of iconic views and genuine island hospitality.

3. The Hidden Adriatic: Montenegro

Often overlooked for its neighbours, Montenegro is a revelation. In May and June, the mountains meet the sea in a dramatic display of emerald and blue. Our Solos Exclusive here offers a more intimate feel—think boat rides through the Bay of Kotor and winding coastal paths. It’s for those who want the beauty of the Mediterranean with a slightly more rugged, adventurous edge.

4. Cultural Magic in Verona, Italy

For a truly "goosebumps" moment, there is nothing quite like August in Verona. This isn't just a city break; it’s a sensory experience. Our Operas & Vineyards trip combines the high drama of an evening at the Arena di Verona with lazy afternoons spent among the Valpolicella vines. It’s an elegant, sophisticated way to spend the late summer, perfect for lovers of music, history, and a crisp glass of Amarone.

5. Sailing the Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

There is a unique camaraderie that forms on the deck of a boat. In July, our Croatia Sailing departures offer the ultimate escape from the mainland. You’ll wake up in a new harbor every morning, spend your afternoons swimming in hidden coves, and your evenings exploring the medieval streets of Korčula or Hvar. It’s the quintessential summer experience—salt air, clear water, and no fixed itinerary but the wind.
