There are many things that make holidaying on a Greek island amazing… There are stunning beaches, you’ll get to swim is clear blue water, you will definitely get a tan (wear sun-cream!) and you will eat more feta cheese than is probably healthy.

But travelling on your own is quite different to travelling with friends so, I have made a list of a few things to try that will definitely make your holiday more fun. I did them all (as I was reminded by a friend I made that, ‘You only live once!’) and I had the best holiday I have ever been on.

So if you are the adventurous type who likes to go out on their own and get a bit lost just to see what happens… This is my list of 3 things to try when holidaying on a Greek island.

  1. Find a traditional restaurant and give the waiter permission to surprise you with dinner. This is a great way of trying something new and authentic (obviously if you have any allergies, you might want to mention those) and you might even discover your new favourite dish!
  2. Try the local alcohol. Yes, you will probably spend the next 10 minutes coughing up your lungs as it is definitely going to be extremely strong, but I guarantee you will make a couple of new friends this way as you’re probably going to look hilarious whilst coughing.
  3. When on a Greek island, it is always good to attempt island hopping. It would be RUDE not to!

While on Ithaca I made friends and one afternoon we got on a boat and went to Fiscardo, a village on the island of Kefalonia for lunch. It was an unplanned trip – the best ones always are – and involved cliff jumping, snorkelling and many ridiculous selfies before lunch.

So the best bit of advice I could possibly give you about visiting a Greek island? Be spontaneous! Because as my friend, Makis, told me, ‘You only live once’.
