Hey, I’m going on this tour too! I can’t wait! I’m from America and this will be my 3rd Contiki. I’m going solo as well. I’ve heard only great things about Greek Island Hopping so it should be awesome! We actually have a facebook group for this date and there’s 7 of us joined so far. Here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/groups/128627867288592/ :)

Hey Megan! I was hoping there would be others going solo aswell so thats good! :)
Yeah same everyone talks about the partying in particular! lol Cant wait I have been to europe once but I have always wanted to do the greek islands. So this tour seems perfect to get away from it all! Will you be going anywhere else around there?- 0 people like this

Yeah, I’m doing a tour beforehand, London to Athens. It’s 23 days and it ends on the 1st of July, so I’ll be hanging out in Athens for a few days before our Greek Island Hopping tour starts! And yesss I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go there too, I can’t wait. The partying will be epic for sure!! Out of all the people I’ve met doing this tour, only 1 person is going with a friend, everyone else is going solo. Yay! :)

Im going solo too, kinda looking forward to it, ive done Contiki before with friends but it looked like it wouldnt be too bad on your own either, a lot of people seem to do it that way.
Im from Canberra so ill be flying to Sydney and then flying out from there. Im doing the Road to Athens tour before this one as well.

Hi Guys,
Im looking into booking July 4th for this trip!!! Ive always wanted to go to The Greek Islands and this contiki is on top of my list. Im also looking into to doing the European Escapade contiki prior to this and then finishing itoff with the sun and beach time on the islands. Im also a first time SOLO traveller. Very scary but exciting too :)

Hi Jules! Agreed with Grant, July 4th is the date to go! :) We’re all going solo and it’s a pretty good group so far, I think we’re all really keen to hang out and party in the Greek Isles! Should be awesome, I’m so excited. I’m doing another Contiki before this one too – London to Athens on June 9th – so I’ll be in Europe for close to 6 weeks. This will be my third Contiki and I’ve always gone solo… in my opinion, it’s the only way to go! If you do end up booking for July 4th, feel free to join our Facebook group and meet everyone :)

Looks like 4th of July is the way to go :) how exciting! Now that I know most of us are solos, that’s even better!!!
Grant, I’m from sydney australia. How about you??
Megan, I agree, I always wanted to travel solo without the burden of having to always agree to do the same thing if you were to go with someone else. .. I’m getting so excited haha.. :)

Yaaayy, that’s exciting! I’m getting into Athens on July 1st which is when my London to Athens tour finishes and I know of several others who are arriving early as well. We’ll all have to hang out before our tour starts! Our hotel has a rooftop bar so I know where I’ll be :)

Hey :) I’m Sundy from New Zealand, nice to meet you guys! Looking at doing the Greek island hopping Contiki solo sometime this July. 4th of July is looking tempting! Waiting for leave approval from work.
Hey Megan, sounds like you are booked and ready to go :) How is the accomodation looking like, and is it mostly twin-share ?? and does the itinerary look like we get a bit of free time to explore the islands ourselves :)?- 0 people like this
