What makes a trip to Greece with Travel For Teens so special?
Iconic Island Hopping
What better way to spend your summer than mastering the art of Greek island hopping, sailing between some of the most beautiful islands in the world? We dedicate a significant portion of our itineraries to exploring the unique character of Greece’s best islands. You’ll spend your time exploring islands like Santorini, Paros, and Corfu, just to name a few, where you can explore volcanic beaches, wander through charming port towns, and witness the dazzling sunsets.
Authentic Aegean Cuisine
Greece is famous for its fresh, vibrant, and healthy Mediterranean food. We avoid tourist traps and eat where the locals eat! We prioritize authentic tavernas, encourage hands-on cultural activities like traditional cooking classes, and ensure you try the best local delicacies (Yes, that means tasting authentic moussaka, learning to make phyllo dough, and enjoying fresh-caught seafood right by the sea!).
Central & Seaside Accommodation
We believe your accommodation should enhance the experience. Our carefully chosen, safe, and comfortable hotels are always located right where the action is: in the heart of historic Athens, or steps away from the dazzling blue Sea on the islands. This central placement allows us to maximize our time exploring and enjoying the local culture.
Local Connections
Did you know TFT has been sending teens to Greece for over 20 years? We send more students to Greece every summer than any other teen travel company! Over two decades, we’ve gained incredible local connections that allow us to offer a truly authentic, immersive experience—from hidden tavernas full of locals to unique cultural activities that tourists rarely discover.

"This trip to Greece was my first time traveling with TFT and easily one of the best experiences of my entire life. I learned so much more about myself, traveling, and other cultures over those two weeks than I ever expected to. I did not know anyone on my trip before meeting up at the airport and ended the trip with best friends that I continue to talk to every single day (over three years later), and that I even coordinated TFT trips with the following summer. I hold so many special memories from this trip and could not recommend TFT and Greece more!"
"Words cannot convey my deep gratitude for all the guidance, support, wisdom, effort and care that you provided to Mia and all the travelers! I am so blown away by this experience and am positive that she will be forever changed by her experience in Greece & Italy. Thank you for the amazing emails describing the day/night with such details I felt I was able to see a feel a bit what it was like to be there!"
"Choosing to travel with TFT has been the best decision I have ever made. I have been able to visit France, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, and all over Greece! These trips have never failed to disappoint with all of the wonderful people and exciting things they have planned! I never expected to be feeding sloths in Costa Rica or going on a private boat trip around the famous Greek islands. I have made new friends from all over the world that I still talk to today. One of the best things about every trip is the counselors! They are always very knowledgeable about every location, and are there to keep you safe and informed as well as to have fun in general. These trips are the best way to meet new people and enjoy brand new experiences that you will cherish forever."
"I went on Greece: Athens and the Islands this past summer and had a BLAST! The scenery was gorgeous, the weather was beautiful, the activities were super fun, and everyone on the trip was so nice. I would 101% recommend this trip to anyone!"
"I have traveled with TFT for four summers now, exploring Costa Rica, Croatia, Fiji and Greece. These trips have been the highlight of my summers. They have broadened my horizons and strengthened my confidence. Going on these trips and meeting new people changed how I view the world. I love having conversations with locals and people I meet along the way. The small TFT groups and the knowledgeable and enthusiastic group leaders make for a fun and eye-opening experience. What sets TFT apart is that we immerse ourselves in the culture and we are not just tourists. We meet locals, hear stories about their lives, and it is truly invigorating. Travel For Teens has given me so much more than fun memories over the summer. They have given me the ability to be comfortable talking to anyone, being in new places, having a widened perspective on other cultures, and to be independent. On my Costa Rica and Fiji trips, we volunteered with school children. In a very short time we made deep connections that I will always cherish. I feel so fortunate to have had my eyes opened through TFT to so many beautiful places and memorable people."
"I went on the Greece and Italy: Island Service and Italian Adventure trip and was blown away by the food, the counselors, and the other teens I was able to become great friends with and stay in touch with. This European trip was my second time with travel for teens and each trip was so different and so special. In Greece I was able to have Greek food for the first time and volunteer at super interesting places like a local farm and a shelter for children. In Italy I had the opportunity to shop and tour places like the Vatican, The Colosseum (which is 10 times cooler in person), and many other famous landmarks that make Italy special. My favorite day was definitely taking a small boat for hours and being able to relax along the Amalfi Coast and get to stop in places like Amalfi and Positano. This trip was seriously life changing and eye opening and makes me want to do a third trip."
