What people love about Greek Islands Tours for Seniors
- Greek Island Adventure
This is suppose to be a 10 day Island Hopper tour. 3 days in each location. We actually spent 1 day in Athens. Complained to Globus and got this ridiculous answer back from them. "Please know the itinerary does state Day 1 arrive in Greece, on Day 2 that is a full day in Athens then Day 3 you leave Athens to continue your vacation." We arrived after 6:00 PM on Day 1 and yes, they did our air. Day 3 we also left very early in the morning. Can't see how that is 3 days. Be very careful booking with them.
I LOVED this tour, 3 days in each place was perfect to get to know them and do what you want! Our tour guide Kiki from Costsaver was phenomenal and when I had my back give out, she went to the ER in Santorini with me and helped me a lot BC she knew Greek and I didn’t! Santorini was my favorite! Would definitely visit Greece again!

What our customers ask about Greek Islands Tours for Seniors
What is the best time of year for seniors to visit the Greek Islands?
The sweet spots for visiting are May-June and September-October. These months bring temperatures between 70-80°F and noticeably fewer tourists than peak season.

A TourRadar traveler shared: "We went in September and the weather was perfect - warm enough to swim but not too hot for sightseeing."
Which Greek Islands are best suited for senior travelers?
Paros and Naxos stand out as excellent choices for seniors thanks to their manageable terrain and laid-back atmosphere. Santorini while popular presents more challenges with its steep paths. The Eri Hotel in Paros and Panorama Hotel serve as good starting points for easy exploration. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Paros was perfect - easy to walk around great restaurants nearby and a more authentic Greek experience."

The larger islands including Santorini Mykonos and Crete offer modern medical centers equipped for emergencies. Tour operators like Wingbuddy and G Adventures work with local healthcare providers.
