Day 1 : Embarkation in Athens

Number of steps: 1,000
Hours sailing: 4

Our trip starts in Athens, the capital of Greece and the site of ancient ruins and the roots of the great Greek Empire.

We recommend you arrive a day early to explore Athen’s Acropolis on your own and get over the jetlag, we have a busy week ahead of us and you won’t want to be tired and miss the fabulous stops!

In the late morning, make your way to the meet up brunch spot to meet your fellow travelers and toast to the amazing trip that is about to begin.

Get into vacation mode as we walk you through an orientation of the week and you get to introduce yourself to the rest of the sailing crew.

After brunch, we will be picked up and taken to the marina where our sailing yacht awaits, ready to take us on this great island hopping adventure.

Upon embarkation, we will complete registration and unpack our luggage as we meet the rest of the crew. We will depart the marina at around 4pm and set sail towards Poros.

We will see the sun go down and enjoy Happy Hour on deck.

Dress up for our Welcome Captain’s Dinner which will be served onboard as we sail through our first glimpses of the Cycladic islands before arriving in Poros.

Quaint Poros is a small fishing island that is practically attached to the mainland.

Unlike the other more famous islands we will visit on this trip, Poros has remained almost untouched by international tourism and is a quiet respite from the buzz of Athens and other more popular islands such as Santorini and Mykonos.

We will dock at port after dinner and have some free time to walk up to the lighthouse, enjoy an ice cream (which is a must!), have a drink by the sea or just take a stroll and stretch our sea legs on land.

We will all be back onboard by midnight, like Cinderella, so the Captain can set sail to our next stop.

Inclusions: Welcome brunch, happy hour welcome drinks and Captain’s dinner with wine. Overnight in your chosen cabin.

Day 2 : Polyegos & Folegandros

Number of steps: 3,000
Hours sailing: 11 (mostly during the night)

Today we will make our way to Folegandros, perhaps the Cyclades’ best kept secret and one which you are about to discover.

On the way, we will stop for your first swim of the trip at stunning Polyegos.

Polyegos is a large uninhabited island where only goats live, hence its name. But we didn’t come here for these four-legged animals but for the crystal clear waters around the island.

Jump off the side deck and into the warm and clear waters at this private stop only accessible by boat and enjoy all that you came here for: the beautiful Aegean Sea.

Tip: The beaches and bays we will stop at are remote and we will most likely have them all to ourselves.

Take a dip while our chefs cook a wonderful BBQ on deck with plenty of skewers, freshly cooked salads and wonderful Greek food. This is what all of Greek’s island hopping dreams are made of!

After lunch, we will depart towards Folegandros, another quiet and yet to be discovered island in Greece that is starting to make waves with the locals. You heard it here first!

We will take a shower and freshen up to venture into this peaceful slice of paradise for a walking tour and winery dinner.

Don’t expect Gucci shops or flashy bars here, Folegandros doesn’t even have public transportation or taxis, this is where slow travel takes a whole new meaning.

Our wonderful host Stella, will give us a quick introduction into the island as we walk the small and cozy streets of one of the main villages. We will then have some free time to do some shopping, or enjoy the beautiful simple life of the small islands.

For dinner, we will share a casual set-up at a local winery where we will taste seasonal dishes with great local wines grown right on the island in a stone patio surrounded by olive trees.

We will share lively conversation under the starry skies and then have some free time to wander the little village streets some more.

We will return to the yacht after dinner and perhaps enjoy another drink at the bar.

Inclusions: Breakfast onboard, BBQ lunch at Polyegos, dinner and wine, family style, transfers from the yacht to the village and back, overnight in your chosen cabin.

Day 3 : Santorini

Number of steps: 10,000-15,000, depending on what you choose to do during your free time
Hours sailing: 3

Santorini is perhaps the most famous of the Greek Islands and can be credited with practically putting the Cyclades on the map. Today is the day when you will find out why.

We will set sail early in the morning to arrive in Santorini before the large cruise ships disembark to make sure we are not caught in crowds.

We make our way to Fira, the capital of Santorini, with beautiful whitewashed buildings set atop the cliff.

We will have free time in the morning to take photographs, do some shopping for classy and elegant clothing, enjoy a drink or a coffee at one of the many cliffside bars or simply wander this postcard-perfect village.

In the early afternoon we will visit a local winery for lunch which will be paired with a wine tasting of the famous Assyrtiko wines and the locally made sweet Vinsanto dessert wine.

Vineyards in Santorini have to struggle through more than 320 days with no rain, arid volcanic soils and continuous sun and wind.

Vines produce very few kilos of grapes and the locals have learned to grow them in a basket shape that is unique of the island.

We will taste 4 local wines along with local dishes, and there will be time for a brief walking tour of the winery.

After the winery visit, we will head to Oia, probably the most picturesque and photographed village in the entire country.

Oia is a small blue-domed, white washed village now populated by restaurants, luxury hotels and shopping.

Its narrow pedestrian streets are packed to the brim in the summer and at sunset and afford beautiful views of the caldera below.

You can of course also take a taxi and go anywhere else on the island on your own for example to visit the prehistoric city of Akrotiri, go down to Fira, to the beach, etc.

We will depart Oia in the early evening, to catch the cable car down to port, and take tenders back to our ship where there will be a casual dinner of sandwiches and snacks available.

We will watch the sunset over the volcano’s caldera from the ship.

Inclusions: Breakfast onboard, cable car tickets, transfers in Santorini from port to Fira, from Fira to the winery and from the winery to Oia. Lunch and wine tasting at the winery, overnight in your chosen cabin. Casual dinner of sandwiches and snacks onboard.

Day 4 : Paros

Number of steps: 10,000-15,000
Hours sailing: 6 (during the early morning)

After popular and no doubt busy Santorini, Paros will feel like a breath of fresh air and a return to the quiet life of the Greek Islands.

We will start our leisurely 5km hike in Lefkes and follow The “Lefkes Village-Byzantine Way”.

This trail covers half of the Byzantine Way, a 1000-year-old, stone-paved footpath that used to be part of the island’s main throughway in medieval times.

Some parts are covered in marble, some are dirt tracks and some are centuries-old hillside footpaths among the terraced olive groves, vineyards and cereal fields in the valley below Lefkes village.

En route, we will enjoy the view to the countryside and the sea, as well as the smell and sight of wild aromatic herbs and flowers which our guide will point out.

This is a walking tour with a female touch that will introduce you to the history and culture of the island while emphasizing on the importance of olive oil on the environment and the Mediterranean diet of the islanders throughout the centuries.

After our walk, we will round off the morning with an olive oil food pairing and a gastronomic tasting of local dishes made with local extra virgin olive oil in a beautiful, traditional village tavern owned and managed by local women.

After a gastronomic presentation of the select local dishes & products in the menu, you will also be introduced to the transformative powers of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), particularly in the context of Cycladic cuisine, through the process of ‘food pairing’.

Our EVOO workshop will be led by a local olive oil educator who will explain what defines a good quality olive oil, how to spot extra virgin olive oil and how to taste it. We will taste and explore the flavors of 4 Greek olive oils.

After lunch, we will visit a local ethnographic museum where we will meet local women and learn more about the ways of life in the Cycladic islands. We will also taste some local sweets and liquors at the house of a Parian woman who will open her doors and hospitality to us and show us how she weaves with a loom passed down from many generations.

We we will then return to the yacht for a shower, rest and maybe a siesta before we set back out to explore the picture-perfect fishing village of Naoussa with its white cobblestoned alleyways and its seaside bars.

Naoussa is a laid-back version of Mykonos and has pretty squares with lapping fishing boats, narrow shopping streets with unique finds and bright bougainvillaea.

To some, this is the preferred island to Mykonos.

You will have free time to wander and look for hidden finds, enjoy a traditional Mediterranean dinner at one of the town squares, or see the sunset.

After dinner, enjoy a drink or a dose of nightlife in town. Make your way back to the boat before we set sail.

Inclusions: Breakfast onboard, guided hiking tour, olive oil workshop and pairing lunch. Transfers from the port to Lefkes for hiking, from the end of the hiking path to lunch, from lunch back to the yacht, and from the port to Naoussa and back. Overnight in your chosen cabin.

Days 5 : Mykonos 

Number of steps: 5,000-10,000 (depending on what you do in your free time)
Hours sailing: 4 (during the early morning)

Mykonos is Santorini’s grown up, fun sister and the premier beach and party destination in the Cyclades Islands.

The rich and famous fight for front row sun loungers at the most famous beach clubs while the fashionable shop in the luxury branded stores in town.

There isn’t a more chic and high-end address in the whole country.

Today, we will do like the celebrities that we are and lounge the morning away at a quiet lagoon on Super Paradise Beach, the famous and exclusively posh JackieO’ Mykonos Beach Club where we have reserved sun loungers with umbrellas.

Sunbathe, dance to the sound of the DJs, get entertained by Priscilla, people watch and generally mingle with the beautiful people that frequent the club as we make the most of our time in this precious bit of paradise.

JackieO’ has a jacuzzi, pool, raised terrace, a boutique and even a hotel and is fabulously sculpted to look like a wedding cake.

If you ever wondered where the celebrities who flock to Mykonos spend their days (besides on the decks of their luxury yachts) this is it.

We will spend all morning and early afternoon at JackieO’ where you’ll have time for lunch and to enjoy the beach and pool area.

With a new glow, we will return to the yacht for a shower and change of clothes.

Later on, all glammed up, we will take the sea bus back to Mykonos town for a brief guided tour with Stella before enjoying free time for shopping, taking photos and exploring the main white and blue village of Chora on the island.

Tip: As you are walking the streets of Mykonos, look out for the two famous pelicans who casually wander the alleys.

Find a spot for a sunset drink in Little Venice, walk up to the iconic windmills or sit by the port to watch the boats come and go until its time for dinner.

Dinner will be at one of the island’s most exclusive restaurants for a premium seafood dinner and wine under the stars.

Stay out for as long as you like, Mykonos is an island where parties run the night away, sea buses run until 1am and you can always take a quick taxi ride back to the yacht, the night is always young in Mykonos!

Tip: Tonight we will sleep at port in Mykonos so you can stay up as late as you like.

Inclusions: Breakfast onboard, return transfers to JackieO’, sun lounger booking and towel, walking tour of Chora, dinner in Mykonos, overnight in your chosen cabin.

Day 6 : Delos and Tinos

Number of steps: 10,000-15,000
Hours sailing: 2

After breakfast we will leave the boat behind, take the sea bus followed by a boat and arrive at the UNESCO-listed site of Delos, Antiquity’s holiest place and one of the most important mythological and archeological sites in Ancient Greece.

Delos is uninhabited today but was once a major cult centre for Dionysus and Titaness Leto, mother of Apollo and Artemis.

Through purifications of the island to make it fit for the revering of Gods, Delos ended up being uninhabited as nobody was allowed to be born or die on the island.

We will take a 2-hour guided tour of Delos with an extremely knowledgeable and expert local female storyteller, who will talk of myths and muses and tell us all about this fascinating mythological island.

There will be free time for photos before we take the boat and sea bus back to the yacht and depart Mykonos on our way to Tinos, Greece’s most recent island discovery.

We will enjoy lunch onboard as we sail the waters of the Cyclades and take in the views, perhaps sun bathing on deck or enjoying a drink at the bar.

Tinos has recently been awarded best island in Europe and is a rough diamond waiting to be polished.

The island boasts over 80 windmills, about 1,000 artistic dovecotes, a few dozen active villages and several Venetian fortifications.

Upon arrival, we will take a scenic ride to the main village of Pyrgos where we will have some free time to wander the streets.

We will then continue to dinner which will be enjoyed at a farm house where our local female host lives.

Our host is a prolific and widely recognised cooking book writer and will open her house and garden to us for a home made dinner prepared with seasonal ingredients that showcase the local cuisine.

As we enjoy our casual meal, she will demonstrate some of the dishes and tell us more about the local foods of Tinos.

Dinner will consist of a series of sharing platters enjoyed around a table as we mingle and exchange our favorite parts of the trip so far.

This will be a casual affair that best showcases Greece’s way of life: a meal shared among friends around a table filled with food to the brim.

After dinner, we will all join in the live musicians with traditional folkloric dances which Nikoleta and her daughters will teach us.

Days 7 and 8 : Agistri

Number of steps: 1,000-5,000
Hours sailing: 11

Our last day on the islands will start with a leisurely breakfast as we sail back from Tinos towards Athens.

We will be saying goodbye to the Cyclades with a swimming spot at the stunning back beaches of the island of Agistri with its clear blue waters.

We will arrive here in the early morning (weather permitting) and anchor near the shore so we get to make the most of the beautiful island and beach life of the Cycladic Islands.

Lunch will consist of a BBQ on deck as you take dips in the sea and enjoy the last few rays of sunshine before we return to port.

Sunbathe on the sun deck, swim or float in the water, get on the kayaks or stand up paddle boards, chat with your new found friends, enjoy a cocktail, read a book and make the most of the last few hours of our vacation time.

You can also take the tenders and go to th beach club on the small island where you can rent a sun bed and enjoy the peace and quiet.

After a shower and change of clothes for our farewell dinner, we will get back on deck for a final Happy Hour as we stop in front of the mythical Temple of Poseidon where we will see the sun set one last time in the horizon.

Our farewell dinner will be your chance to say goodbye to the crew and indulge in one last seasonal Greek dinner in the best company.

We will arrive in Athens just after dinner and dock at the marina. Our last night will be spent onboard before checking out and departing the next day.

On day 8, make your own arrangements to the airport on to your onward travels in Greece and beyond.

Inclusions: Breakfast onboard on day 7 and 8, BBQ lunch on deck, Captain’s dinner with wine on day 7, overnight in your chosen cabin.

Stella is Greek, born and raised in Athens, and has been working as a Cruise Coordinator for almost 8 years in the Greek Islands, Cabo Verde, Senegal, the Canary Islands, Turkey and the Balkans.

She will take care of all the excursions, activities and entertainment on board and make sure everything runs smoothly and everyone is having a good time.

Prior to becoming a cruise coordinator, Stella was a travel writer, a wedding planner and an event manager.

What she loves most about her job is to travel and interact with different people from different places. She feels rich in experiences and happy with the knowledge she has acquired and the people she has met and can’t wait to meet you all and show you around her beautiful Greece!

Stella will be supported by a the Hotel Manager, and a full multicultural crew including the Captain and his team, housekeeping staff, and the chefs and food and beverage team, all ready to make sure we have the best time!

Margaret – “Wow! Just returned from the private yacht cruise through the Greek Cyclades Islands cruise. This trip was so amazing. Meg and Mar have organized this incredible event with such precision and enthusiasm that would not be possible to experience through any other “larger“ less dedicated company.

I really appreciate and support their passion for encouraging greater collaboration and support of female guides and businesses. The excellent support and flexibility to meet the needs of the travelers was incredible. The group on this voyage were so close and engaging. So much fun . If you do not travel with Solo Female Travelers you are missing the opportunity of a lifetime. 5 stars”

Maureen – “I just returned from SFT’s first Greek Islands sailing tour – and it did not disappoint! The trip was thoughtfully planned in great detail, while still being flexible to accommodate everyone. The mix of planned activities and free time was well balanced, and we certainly didn’t go hungry or thirsty! This was my first SFT trip, and I’m about to book my second.”

Meera – “I did their Greece trip and was lucky to have both Mar and Meg on the trip. I found this trip using google and didn’t know anyone on it. I’m leaving the trip with new friends and several once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I can honestly say that I can consider both Mar and Meg my friends now, and their personalities shine through the way the trip is set up. They are so passionate about female empowerment, good food, and having fun. In Greece I swam in the ocean, ate amazing food every day, explored ancient ruins (guided by an archaeologist), learned cycladic cuisine (hosted in her home by a published chef), partied in Mykonos, explored tiny villages, and laughed belly laughs every day. If you are hesitating, don’t. Just book it – you won’t regret it.”

Tina – “Another amazing experience with so many thoughtful touches, one of a kind experiences, and much needed pampering too. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new adventure. You will get to know yourself better and make new friends for life.”

Angie – “I just returned from an amazing trip touring through the Greek islands with Solo Female Travelers Club. I was especially fortunate to be sailing with both founders of the group Meg and Mar. This was my second tour with the group (Tuscany in 2022), and it certainly did not disappoint!

I share this group and my experiences with anyone and everyone who will listen, because there has never been a company I truly believe in and support more than these ladies. I have seen and experienced things on the trips I’ve taken that I never could have dreamed possible. Best of all, I didn’t have to do any of the planning and logistics behind the scenes, because these ladies and their amazing network do it all!

More than the vacations in beautiful and exotic locations is the business focus on promoting opportunities for other females to share their skills, knowledge, and life’s passions in more male dominated cultures. Additionally, the lifelong friendships made as women from all over the world come together to share in these beautifully cultivated experiences.

I believe each woman goes on these tours for their own reasons, whether it’s to celebrate a life achievement, heal a broken heart, take the reins of newly claimed independence, or a proclamation to stop waiting for others. But one thing is certain, every woman ends a tour with a refreshed spirit and new friendships that will last a lifetime. As I said to Meg at our final dinner on the boat “you and Mar are literally changing lives one tour at a time.”

So, anyone who has perused the many tours SFT offers, and not taken that final step, I encourage you to do it. For those who are held back by the price, I can assure you that you will not find a better value that includes such detail, intimate and unique experiences, and personalized attention than traveling with SFT!”

Kathy – “Herding 40 cats is difficult, but Mar, Meg, and Stella managed to do so when they took 40 women with wildly different personalities and backgrounds on an extraordinary Greek sailing trip. As a member of the Solo Female Travelers group, I was unsure of what to expect, but if you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, this is it.

Under the skilled guidance of Mar, Meg, and Stella, we didn’t just journey across the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea — we formed a bond that transcended our differences, becoming a lively community of strong, independent women sharing a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The trio navigated the challenges of organizing and coordinating our group with grace and warmth, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity, respect, and sisterhood.

Our days were filled with moments of wonder: from exploring tiny villages and remote islands to witnessing awe-inspiring sunsets from our ship’s deck. We indulged in delicious local cuisine, immersed ourselves in the rich Greek culture, and stepped out of our comfort zones to embrace new experiences. Mar, Meg, and Stella ensured that every woman on board felt welcomed and valued, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support. Their attention to detail, flexibility, and passion for travel made this trip not only smooth but also magical.

The Greek sailing trip meant more than just a vacation, it was a journey of empowerment, self-discovery, and friendship. Thank you, SFT, for gifting us with this unique, soul-nourishing experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any woman seeking adventure, companionship, and an unforgettable exploration of the Greek seas.”

Lezlee – “I just returned from Greece and I have nothing but HIGH praise for this team and what they accomplish! This was my first trip to Europe and I was very nervous…up to the day I left. The first meeting with all of these wonderful women was a smashing success! Meg and Mar are incredible planning every magical moment. I ate the most wonderful food, found new wine, learned the importance of GOOD olive oil, explored villages on Greek islands, danced on a boat, swam in the Aegean Sea…but most importantly…made life long friends. They truly live by their mission to empower women through travel. Thank you so much so allowing me to be a part of this journey! See you in Iceland in 2024!”

Maya – “I can’t recommend this travel club enough! I did my first trip with them this month. It was the sailing trip through out the Greek islands. My first solo travel ever. I got in early to explore some on my own to truly be solo but enjoyed the time with my group just as much. I’ve made new friends that I know I’ll see again! Such amazing ladies- the logistics alone of wrangling 35-40 women… my hats off to Mar and Meg. They are equally lovely people. They hire great women to work with, too. Our guide Stella was the most amazing woman! I love them all for making the trip so special. I look forward to figuring out what trip I want to take next. The quality of the food, the tours and other experiences that were included in the price- I don’t know how they provide such quality. Oh and the likeminded women you meet from all over with different life experiences was a highlight for me.”

Lynda – “Recently early-retired with a supportive husband that doesn’t really enjoy traveling, beaches, wineries, etc., I booked my very first solo European trip! I picked the Solo Female Travelers Club’s Greek Islands sailing tour because it sounded amazing and I loved that SFT Tour’s values empower women! Everything about my journey was amazing, including bonding with so many like-minded incredible women. Highlights were our yacht and daily breakfasts, touring nine breathtakingly beautiful islands, kayaking on the Aegean, and hiking on Paros. And, oh my, the food experiences! SFT picked the best of the best places to eat and I tried so many new and wonderful dishes, just extraordinary! I am still smiling thinking about our 9-day trip and my new traveling friends. And I am ready to book my next adventures with SFT!”

Karmit – “The Greek sailing trip was stunning. Every detail was carefully and lovingly planned and executed. The food ! The restaurants! The swimming! The learning! The dancing ! Most of all: the people !“

Ann – “Exploring Greece was a life long dream, but how to manage all the aspects of planning something like this, especially not knowing exactly what I wanted, felt overwhelming. Then I met Meg and Mar on my first sole trip to Barcelona last summer. M and M are masterful planners and they know what women want!!!!! They know!!!! My trip to Greece is my second trip with them and I just signed up for a third! Next summer I’ll meet up with friends from both Spain and Greece and I can’t believe my good luck.

Sailing between the Greek Islands on a private Yacht (!!) is the way to travel. We’d arrive at an island ready for the next adventure – which included first, an overview by Stella (our guide) of the specific historical influences of each island, its culture, architecture, mythology and sights not to miss. Each day had a specific itinerary with time also to explore on our own. I will not lie, most islands were hard to leave!!!! I just wanted more days in these beautiful spots.

The boat experience itself is also worth its own starred review. Dancing on one floor under the stars, reading, napping or grouping up on the top deck feeling Greece in your bones – can it get any better? Taking the zodiac to a private swimming cove, time at beach clubs to float (!!) in this never ending sea, is…..really…..amazing….what more can I say, except this, the sailing experience itself, promotes getting to know women from around the globe and really making new friends.
The opportunities for belly laughing keeps bringing me back to Meg and Mar!

My advice “Just Do Greece””

Britt – I just got back from the Greek Islands sailing trip.

I really have no words for just how fantastic the trip was! I was so excited when I found a group for solo travelers because it fits so perfectly with where I am in my life plus I love their values and everything they stand for. Meg and Mar are very hands on in planning and executing every detail of all of their trips; which not only makes them amazing, I think is pretty rare these days. The communication about details and logistics before the trip were very clear and organized.

I met so many amazing people, Including Meg and Mar that I never would have otherwise. There were quite a few people that have already done several trips with them and they all had wonderful things to say about the trips and the company.

The only problem I have now is deciding which trip is next!

Rachael – “I just got back from the Greece sailing trip and don’t think I can find the words to describe what a magical time I had. Mar, Meg and Stella did such a fabulous job planning and executing this adventure for us…down to the very last detail. I had so many moments that I’ll remember forever and I’ve made some life long friends. They packed the trip with so many once in a lifetime moments that I couldn’t have planned myself. I HIGHLY recommend that anyone thinking of booking with Solo Female Travelers do it. In fact, I’ve already booked my next trip with them to Tanzania for next year!”

Kristen – “I can’t put into words how incredible this trip was! I was fortunate to have both Meg and Mar on my Greece Sailing Trip. They are both wonderful humans who have such good hearts and inspiring visions! The trip itself was fantastic! It was nice to unpack and not have to keep re-packing the whole trip to move new places. The boat just shows up at a new port when you wake up! The sights, excursions, activities and the FOOD were amazing. But interestingly, it wasn’t Greece that made the trip unforgettable, it was the WONDERFUL people I met and became friends with. I met so many amazing women with similar passions and who I know will become life long friends. I can’t recommend a trip with Solo Female Travelers strongly enough! Go solo! Take the leap…then watch the net appear.”

Carol – “Sailing the Greek Islands with Solo Female Travel was an incredible experience. Stella is the most amazing guide who made the trip fun and lively. I think she has been the best guide I’ve ever had on a tour. If Greece is on your bucket list this group should be the one you choose!”

Karin – “I cannot describe the amazing-ness of my Greek Island Hopping tour. Meg, Stella and Mar minded all of the details to make sure everyone had a fantastic experience. I saw, did and learned so much more than if I would have arranged all of it myself. And I will forever cherish the memories of meeting so many incredible women and the friendships that developed and will now be part of my life.“

Erin – “I have been home for a couple of weeks, reminiscing on the magical time I had on the sailing trip to Greece. This is my 2nd trip with SFT and once again it was more than I imagined. The sailing Greece trip was the PERFECT mix of a historical and relaxing vacation all while meeting and supporting women-owned businesses.

I was fortunate enough to spend 8 days with BOTH owners of the company. I was able to meet Mar and reconnect with Meg who was with me on my Morocco trip in October of 2023. Greece had been a bucket list trip for me and I’m glad I was able to experience it with this group of women and this company. I fell in love with islands I didn’t even know I needed to visit! I cannot wait to book my THIRD SFT trip!

I am going with 2 women I met on the Greece trip. I’m so thankful to have found this company. I am able to travel to places I had never imagined I would go to all the while meeting amazing women from all over the world. Women supporting women is the most powerful force there is!”

Kelly – “I recently had the pleasure of joining an all-female travel group in Greece, and I cannot express how wonderful the experience was.

Safety: One of my top concerns while traveling is safety, and I felt completely secure throughout the trip. The organizers prioritized our well-being at every step, from carefully vetted accommodations to trusted local guides who were always available to assist us. Their attention to detail and genuine care made me feel at ease, allowing me to fully enjoy the experience.

Accommodations: The accommodations were nothing short of spectacular. We stayed in beautiful, well-maintained vessel that offered both comfort and a touch of local charm. Each location provided a serene and relaxing environment, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The organizers clearly put a lot of thought into selecting places that enhanced our Greek adventure.

Organization: The trip was meticulously planned and executed, leaving nothing to chance. Every detail was considered, from our daily itineraries to transportation logistics. The seamless organization allowed us to focus on enjoying the journey without any worries. The itinerary was a perfect balance of guided activities and free time, ensuring we experienced the best of Greece while also having the freedom to explore on our own.

Experience with Local Business Women: My favorite part of the trip was our interactions with local businesswomen. It was inspiring to meet such passionate and dedicated individuals who shared their stories and insights with us. These encounters provided a deeper understanding of Greek culture and the unique challenges and triumphs faced by women in business. It was an enriching experience that added significant value to the trip.

Overall, this all-female travel group provided an unforgettable experience in Greece. The combination of safety, excellent accommodations, impeccable organization, and meaningful connections with local businesswomen made this trip truly special. I highly recommend this group to any woman looking for a well-rounded and enriching travel adventure.”

Nikki – “This was an absolutely amazing experience that I will remember forever!”

Moira – “This was a once in a lifetime trip! Perfectly curated! Meg and Stella are professional, approachable, amazing women. Most importantly they are CARING! They went above and beyond to make sure the trip was a great experience not just for me, but every person on that trip! I made some lifetime friendships and that may have been the best perk of all. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company for any and all travel plans. I will DEFINITELY be booking a future trip with Solo Female Travelers!
PS I had way too much fun :)”

Jacque – “Another great trip with Meg and Mar…Greece and the women in the group were fabulous. June as we found can also be scorching but the rooms on the ship were air conditioned. I’d do this again!”

Gloria – “EPIC says it all, I will be forever spoiled. Meg and Mar have created a relaxing atmosphere with just the right amount of activity and relaxation. My first group travel experience left me appreciating all the most amazing women.”

Charmaine – “I just returned from an AMAZING trip to the wonderful Islands of Greece 🇬🇷.

It was extra special because both Mar and Meg accompanied the group of amazing women from all walks of life and corners of the world! I love that there is an emphasis on empowering and supporting local female businesses and guides. Our guide Stella was wonderful You only had to mention in passing and she would make it happen 🥰

I am Gluten Free and I did not go with the expectation that there would be special meal accommodations. At every meal in every place we ate (even at a private home) there were so many GF options! The food was incredible! I realize this is not always possible BUT.. I was more than thankful for every delicious meal 🥰

I previously went to Iceland with SFTT and have booked 2 more trips! I highly recommend SFTT❤️”

Rachelle – “Greece! I cannot say enough about how amazing this trip was! The passion that was shared with us was overwhelming, I still tear up just thinking about it. The guides and the hosts had so much beauty and passion to share with us about their land and culture. Seeing other guides, at Delos for example, just came nowhere near the level of knowledge and passion that our guide shared with us; and that level of passion shared with us was consistent throughout. They have truly found the best guides and hosts. This level of passion and information is something I would not have been able to find on my own and took this trip to the next level.

The schedule was perfect! We aren’t wasting time traveling and transporting and avoided the big tour groups. If I attempted this trip on my own, it would have taken twice the time to even attempt to see what I’ve seen, and even then I would never have been invited into homes or been able to find these super special places and guides.

The only negative thing I want to share is the quality of food on the ship, which was a bit disappointing for the foodies in the group, which is the only reason I give 4/5 stars (4.5!). That said, others have said that other trips offered have had incredible food. Also, wouldn’t trade the boat we were on for better food! The restaurants were lovely, especially in Marpissa 💗💗💗!

I will absolutely be joining another one of Meg and Mar’s tours, no question!”

Elaine – “Such an amazing time exploring the Cyclades Islands in Greece on the beautiful sailing yacht, Galileo with Solo Female Travelers group.
Stella was our fantastic tour group leader and I always felt very cared for and safe in her hands.
Everything on the tour was fantastic. Ive already booked my next Solo Female Travelers tour and am going on an African Safari!”

Amruta – “Sisterhood, community, female empowerment. I didn’t know what to expect on my Greek yacht trip, and I was so not disappointed. Mars and Meg were on our trip as luck would have it, and they are two of the most energetic and wonderful business founders. The trip was well organized, with enough time for sightseeing and down time to relax / do your own thing. It was one of the best group trips I’ve taken in a long time! I can’t wait to go again on my next trip!”

Dana – “Truly an incredible trip with amazing people including the other travellers, our amazing Guide Stella, THE MEG & MAR, plus the staff on the ship!“

Angela – “It was a trip of a lifetime!!

Laura – “I recently had an amazing solo women’s trip to Greece, thanks to Meg and Mar who made every moment unforgettable. Their warm hospitality and in-depth travel knowledge made my trip to the Greek Islands remarkable. Their planned excursions included exploring ancient ruins, enjoying authentic cuisine, Island exploration, olive oil tasting, and much, more. The boat accommodations were cozy, and their staff was exceptional making for a unique sail boating experience. If you’re a solo female traveler looking to experience Greece, I highly recommend Meg and Mar for a truly memorable adventure.”
