Summer is calling, ladies! As a European girl, I’m always super excited about spring turning into summer mode. When you can wear a summer dress the entire day, get up early during sunrise and spend wonderful summer evenings and nights in restaurants and bars outdoors. I can already feel those summer vibes, the sun kissing my skin and smelling sunscreen literally everywhere. Summer is absolutely the perfect time to visit wonderful Greece on your solo travels!
Especially, Greek islands are so worth a visit this summer. Imagine yourself sitting in a tavern, sipping a good locally produced red wine, dipping freshly baked bread into home-made zaziki, tasting wonderful Greek olives, and listening to the conversations of the relaxed Greek people around you. Yes, this is Greece coming along with turquoise water, sandy beaches, Mediterranean atmosphere, and amazing food. Today, I will introduce 5 Greek islands covering Crete, Santorini, Milos, Naxos, and Kefalonia. You should definitely not miss on them on your next solo travels, babe.
