About this trip...

Home to dense pine forests, dramatic white cliffs, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, Lefkada is a true Greek gem in the Ionian Sea—a must‑visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of traditional island life. Beyond its stunning coastline, the island offers walking, hiking and cycling routes, scenic mountains, and hidden waterfalls, giving you far more than a typical beach holiday. On the island’s eastern coast lies the small yet vibrant village of Nidri, home to our popular Solos Exclusive property. Picture idyllic white‑pebble bays, restaurants and bars lining a charming seafront promenade, and sailboats drifting across emerald waters—a true Greek idyll.

With the freedom to spend as much or as little time with the group as you like, we come together to enjoy meals, share stories, and experience the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes a Solos Exclusives trip truly special.

Lefkada Solos Exclusive

Our exclusive property: Our ‘Ionian Paradise’, Nidri, Lefkada

Our exclusive property: Our ‘Ionian Paradise’, Nidri, Lefkada

Traditionally Greek in style and set amongst pretty gardens offering privacy from the hustle and bustle of the village outside, the hotel could not be further from the large cookie-cutter resorts found elsewhere in Greece. Every room is unique and split between two distinct blocks – one traditional, and the other more modern with newly upgraded facilities. The pretty breakfast area extends out onto the terrace, allowing for breakfast to be enjoyed overlooking the pool and surrounded by the scent of the bougainvillea blossoms. Speaking of the pool, it's reserved just for Solos guests and is the perfect spot to cool off after a morning exploring the stunning island of Lefkada.
  • The Personal Touch: Our hosts and your Solos Tour Leader provide genuine Greek hospitality and personalized attention that only a boutique, family-run property can offer. You'll be treated like family from the moment you arrive.
  • The Perfect Base: Enjoy our private pool area and beautiful gardens, reserved exclusively for our group, or take a short walk to the sandy beaches of Nidri. It's a peaceful retreat designed for those who want to truly unwind without feeling isolated.
  • Evening Vibes: The hotel's cozy bar is the heart of the social scene—perfect for catching up with new friends over drinks. With three included dinners at local tavernas, you'll enjoy an authentic Greek dining experience while getting to know your fellow travelers over delicious Ionian cuisine.

Step outside the tranquility of the hotel, and you'll find yourself right in the heart of the lively village of Nidri. Just a short walk (less than a minute!) brings you to the main shopping street, with the beautiful waterfront promenade only a few steps further away.

Is a Solos Exclusive trip right for you?

Is a Solos Exclusive trip right for you?

Our Solos Exclusives trips are our most popular vacation style—small by design and reserved entirely for our guests. You won't be one of the few solo travelers in a large resort; you'll be part of a small group of like-minded solo travelers staying at a property exclusively reserved for Solos guests.

Who this type of trip is for:

  • The First-Timer: Perfect if you're looking to dip your toe into the world of group travel without the "what-ifs."

With an experienced Tour Leader on-site to ensure everything runs smoothly, you'll enjoy the security of a group vacation with the freedom to spend your time exactly how you want.
  • The Social Soul: For those who enjoy the excitement of a group but value the privacy of their own space. You'll find a warm, easygoing atmosphere by the pool and plenty of opportunities to share stories over local wine, all while enjoying the comfort of a private studio with no single supplement.
  • The Explorer: For travelers who want the freedom to choose between a quiet morning with a book, a hike to hidden waterfalls, or a boat trip to explore the islands of the Ionian Sea. You have complete flexibility—join optional excursions or simply relax on the beach. You don't have to spend all your time lounging by the pool (unless you want to!).
  • The Authentic Traveler: Ideal if you prefer intimate, family-run properties over large hotel chains. Our hosts at Ionian Paradise offer a home-away-from-home atmosphere, providing the kind of personalized attention and genuine Greek hospitality you'll only find in a boutique retreat.
The Location: Nidri, Lefkada

The Location: Nidri, Lefkada

The main shopping street is where you’ll find an array of gift shops, restaurants and coffee bars, as well as essentials including supermarkets, a pharmacy and the post office. Heading along the main coastal promenade, you’ll find more restaurants, bars, a disco and a wine cellar; with everything right on your doorstep. You’ll also find the main marina area with its array of sail boats and sightseeing boats, all just a couple of minutes’ walk from the hotel.

The palm tree-lined seafront promenade is the perfect spot for sitting with a cold glass of wine and watching the world go by, or for hopping on a boat trip to explore more of the island of Lefkada, and the numerous islets adorning this part of the Ionian Sea. Take a stroll around the seafront and you’ll find the statue of Aristotle Onassis. The famous shipping tycoon purchased the nearby island of Skorpios is 1963 and wed Jackie Kennedy there in 1968, before spending many family trips on the island (as well as holding many high-profile parties). You can book a boat trip to see the island up-close.
 
Nidri is dotted with pretty shingle bays and beach bars - buy a drink at one of these bars and they’ll let you use their sunbeds free of charge, or just take your beach towel and pick your spot on the shore. If you’re feeling energetic. you can head along to the water sports center and hire a jet ski or sea canoe to explore the coast, or for the adrenaline junkies, there are banana boats, water skiing and parasailing options.
A fabulous choice of optional excursions

A fabulous choice of optional excursions

If you’re looking for sun and relaxation, with a sprinkling of the hustle and bustle of traditional Greek island life, Lefkada hits the spot. But what is really unique about this Solos Exclusive offering is having the option to do so much more than simply eating, drinking and relaxing in the sun – although that does sound just fabulous! The location is spectacular – a quaint seaside village with a bustling marina and sea views, mountain backdrops, lush green islets, olive groves and nearby fishing villages to explore. 

Hire a bicycle or e-bike and enjoy the picturesque cycling routes around the island, or don your hiking shoes and head into the mountains, following steady or more challenging routes and taking in stunning island views and majestic waterfalls.
 
Visit a local taverna and enjoy a traditional Greek meal and there are also wine tasting opportunities at the local wine cellar, and if you’re a beach lover you can explore some of the finest beaches in the Mediterranean. From pristine sands and glistening pebbled coves to sea caves and dramatic cliffs – we recommend taking a boat trip to the west coast and spending a day beach-hopping. The island’s capital and port, Lefkada City (city by name, small, traditional town by nature), is around a 30-minute taxi drive away and is home to cobbled shopping streets, 17th century churches, quaint squares and a number of small, yet fascinating, museums. Walk the town promenade to the lagoon, a bird-watching hotspot, or the Agia Mavra fort dating back to 1300 AD.

Trip Reviews

A fantastic first solo experience

The ease of booking, being kept informed every step of the way. This being my first solo experience, I was unsure what to expect, but it was 10/10. I would really like to mention James Cadby, as he was so nice and made everyone feel included and did everything he could to make the experience great for everyone.

Janette

Great resort and fantastic tour leader

Great resort, good hotel with great staff, overall a really good group of people to spend time with. Very good tour leader. Nice mix of group and not group meals with lots of choices. A week of lovely interactions. I came back feeling like I’d got my mojo back and reconnected with an earlier version of me.

Jason

Interesting people and memorable experiences

The interesting people I met, the fact that I laughed more than I can ever remember doing. That I was challenged to do things that I would never normally do - I lost my sight in my right eye a year ago but this holiday I jumped off the boat and swam in a sea cave! The group included me in everything and looked after me when needed.

Pamela

Great location and friendly staff

Apartments where we stayed were very near to beach, bars & shops....everything was literally a 2-3 minute walk away. Rooms were basic but clean and quite big. Didn't have to pay extra for air-con, which was a nice touch. Owner & staff very friendly and always happy to help.

You may wish to take an optional excursion during the course of your stay. Full details and prices will be given at the Information Meeting. All tours should be paid for in Euros. Cash and credit cards are accepted. The exact amount will be given at your Information Meeting. Your Tour Leader will help arrange these for you but may not necessarily accompany you.

Gratuities
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of €25.00 per week. 
 
Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % add on.
Dress Code
Casual, cotton, lightweight daytime wear is the order of the day. Comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing. Smart casual clothes are ideal for the evening. Early and late season evenings can be cool so do ensure that you take a cardigan or jacket and even some rainwear – particularly in May and June when you may experience some spring thunderstorms followed by scorching days!
Flights

Whether you'd like us to arrange your flights or prefer to book your own, we're here to make the process easy. Our team can secure flights from the location that suits you best, or provide all the arrival and departure details you'll need if booking independently.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance before any trip — it safeguards you against unexpected issues like illness, cancellations, or lost luggage. It also protects your health and travel investment, giving you peace of mind to fully enjoy your journey. Click here.to learn more.

If you are taking part in an excursion which includes 4 x 4 off road drives, quad biking, motorcycling or snowmobiling you need to check your travel insurer will offer you adequate cover. You will also need to sign a waiver form.

WhatsApp Group

Shortly before your holiday, you will be invited to join an optional WhatsApp group to connect with your fellow travellers and your Tour Leader.

Passport, Visa & Entry Requirements Greece

We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.
