loved it so much!!!!!

I seriously loved this program. I have lots of social anxiety, so I was a little bit nervous to go on this trip. However, when I arrived at the airport, I immediately felt welcome by my fellow travel-mates! When we got there, I already felt like it was going to be a life changing journey. I am so happy I chose this program in particular. Going all around Greece, trying food, and swimming in the clear water was such an amazing experience. I totally would recommend this trip to onlooking travelers!!! :)

I enjoyed unforgettable experiences, like scuba diving and walking around the city. The places we stayed were very nice, and the restaurants we ate at were incredible. The program allowed me to really get to know everyone in a way I never could have on my own. Overall, my experience was so memorable because of the great opportunities that Travels for Teens provides.

Greece trip

One thing that surprised me was how smooth the whole trip felt. Usually when you’re moving around a lot — ferries, hotels, different towns — things get confusing or stressful, but TFT had it organized in a way that didn’t feel strict or annoying. We knew where we had to be, but it still felt like we had room to enjoy ourselves and not be rushed everywhere. The leaders were chill too. They gave us space, but they were always there when we needed something or didn’t know what was going on.

The food was another highlight. I didn’t even think I liked Greek food like that, but I ended up trying way more stuff than I expected. Fresh seafood, gyros, pastries — everything just tasted better over there. Even simple things like grabbing a drink or a snack in a random shop felt like part of the experience.

What made the trip really memorable though was the group. Traveling with people around your age who are also excited to explore makes everything ten times better. We were all new to the place, figuring things out together, laughing at dumb stuff, and making memories without even realizing it. By the time the trip was ending, it felt like we had been there way longer — in a good way.

Overall, I’d recommend this trip to anyone who wants something fun, different, and actually memorable. Greece lives up to the hype, and TFT made the whole thing feel easy and enjoyable. It’s one of those experiences I’m definitely not forgetting anytime soon.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I'd say I'd attempt to socialize with everyone on the trip, and not just stuck with a closed group
Pros
  • Great food
  • Gorgeous beaches
  • A variety of different experiences

Best Trip of My Life!

This was an amazing trip! I had the best time visiting historical monuments, meeting new people, and trying new things. I loved the food, and I really enjoyed cooking in Greece. The views were incredible, and I had never swam in clearer, bluer, waters before. Highly recommend if you’re someone whose parents don’t travel out of the country. This is for people around the world, so everyone has a chance. The gift of traveling is one that I’ll always cherish, and this trip made my summer so memorable. Highly recommend!!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My Most nerve-wracking moment was in the airport when I had to meet the kids. I was nervous that people had already made friends with each other, and that I would be left out. This fear made me hesitant to speak out to people, as I feared rejection. However, I overcame this fear on the first day when I met my roommates, and even met people at the airport. When you’re in the airport, kids wearing the TFT shirt will instantly come up to you and make small talk. Small talk then turns into friends and amazing memories. I am so glad I met the people I did, and I overcame the anxiety I had about making new friends.
Pros
  • Hotel experience
  • Making valuable friends
  • experiencing the beauty of Greece
Cons
  • Long schedule (be prepared to do a lot in a day)
  • waking up early
  • food (some stuff is limited; so u will have to expand you’re taste buds!)

Greek Island Hopping Trip Was Amazing

I traveled to Greece with TFT in the summer of 2024. This trip not only allowed us to visit famous places like Athens and the Acropolis, we also got to see places off the beaten path. Lefkada was my favorite. The food was delicious throughout the trip and we even got to learn how to make Greek food. I loved the sea turtle service project and spending time with my new friends. We helped the turtles find their way back to the sea by digging trenches and we learned a lot about sea turtle care. I loved going in the boat through the cave. It was beautiful to see the clear blue water. I’d definitely recommend this trip and TFT.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Pack extra sunscreen and water. It was hot!!!
Pros
  • Weather
  • Sea turtle service projects
  • Food
Cons
  • Really hot
  • Athens was crowded

My Epic Summer With TFT

This summer, I went Greece with Travel for Teens! The whole experience was top tier, from the cultural immersion, to the adventure, to the insane views. Visiting the Acropolis was unreal; standing with so much history is something I’ll never forget. We explored the Temple of Poseidon, which really made my head spin--there were ancient Greeks praying right where I was standing! The Ottoman fortress we explored was also insane, there was a battle there! We also took a boat tour around Paros, which was amazing, jumping off, swimming to isolated beaches and exploring random islands with your buddies. And of course, Santorini lived up to the hype. Scuba diving there was a highlight--my first time, and I was hooked. After a long school year, the mix of adventure and downtime was perfect. The beaches were beautiful and the perfect spot to just relax. The group was great, everyone was chill and wanted to have a great time. We all ended up laughing over the gelato runs every night. Overall, it was the perfect balance of learning, exploring, and taking in out of this world views. If you’re looking for an experience to MAKE your summer, this is the one for you

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The most surprising thing I did in Greece was scuba dive. It was my first time, and diving surrounded by giant walls of volcanic rock was unlike anything I've ever done or seen. Seeing the marine life and just the experience of looking up, realizing you are 20 feet underwater, is amazing. It opened my eyes up to a new world of beauty that I never experienced living in the US.

Europe for older teens- Greece Island Hopping

Going to Greece has always been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. This trip is filled with rich history and culture, amazing food and hotels. While on this trip I got to experience an authentic greek cooking class, scuba diving in Santorini and many other wonderful experiences while making lifelong memories and friendships. Going with travel for teens I got to experience things i never would've know about if I was to go on my own. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to learn about the history of Greece or living out their Mamma Mia dreams. I will be forever grateful to TFT for providing this experience for me and other teens.

Greece - Athens and the Islands

I absolutely loved traveling with Travel for Teens for the Greece - Athens and the Islands trip. As a high school student who loves traveling and has always wanted to go to Greece, this trip did not disappoint! From Athens to Paros, to Santorini, I saw everything I could've ever wanted to see in Greece. I definitely recommend TFT because their safety and experiences are incredible! I went on this trip as a solo traveler, which was nerve-wracking, but TFT made it so easy to meet new people and overall have the best time!

Pros
  • unique experiences
Cons
  • long days
