When a last minute decision leaves you booking a flight to Greece just two days before takeoff, what do you do? You contact a cruise ship and ask if they have any extra space.
“Yes?” You ask, “One room?” Sold!
Embarking on a cruise as a solo twenty-something year old female traveler isn’t as typical as, say, a retired couple or a group of high school students. I found myself to be the only solo traveler on the entire ship and had a marvelous time joining others during breakfast and dinner, along with the occasional stroll through one of the magnificent towns we docked at.
Take a look for yourself, you’ll see just how spectacular the Islands of Greece truly are! ps- Yep, all these photos are by yours truly. Enjoy! xoxAnika

Gorgeous photos! Greece is near the top of my list of travel destination!
Thank you – it’s breathtaking, even in the cooler months, definitely worth a trip. I hope you’re able to take advantage of all it has to offer and head out there soon! xxAnika
Great pictures! I love the colors and the bright white in contrast. It looks so stunning! I also really like the collage effect of your picture page. It looks really cool 🙂
Thank you Maria – the iconic blue and white facades certainly are spectacular. I’m glad you enjoyed!

Do it, Lara! Go, go, go! And let us know what you think 🙂
Beautiful photos! This makes me want to go back to Greece now!
Thank you! When did you go there? And where was your favorite spot?
After studying abroad in Germany in spring 2006, I took a ferry from Athens to Paros for a few days and then onto Santorini for a night. I loved Santorini. I wish we had booked a longer stay there.
