Travel For Teens: Greece

Last summer I went to Greece through Travel For Teens where I made some of my best ever memories, met incredible people, and grew as a person. My favorite memory is the sunset boat ride we took one night. I remember getting to jump off of the boat with all of my new friends into the crystal clear water. I will also never forget on the way back to the dock how we all sang along to the sound track of Mama Mia. In addition to all the fun activities we did, we also learned valuable information about sea turtles and how to protect them. We did snorkeling to survey the reefs, and we did workshops were we learned all kinds of interesting information about sea turtles. The staff on this trip were excellent, for I felt like they genuinely cared about our while being and experience. They helped us see the various cities and towns we visited as travelers, not just tourists. Going into this experience I was nervous because I had never been super far away from my family before however I am so glad I decided to do this trip. I still keep in touch with my friends that I made on this trip. I am so thankful for all the hard goodbyes I had at the airport on the last day.

I really enjoyed the trip because everyone was nice and really cool. We made a lot of friends and we did so many activities we literally took planes to different Greek island and ate and really got time to explore Greece. I felt really comfortable and really safe even when we have time to explore . I highly recommend this program if you want to have fun and meet people and go on a really cool adventure in Greece! I want to go back next year and continue the fun I’m already planning to go back !

I have never had a better experience traveling in my life! I not only felt super safe and like a valued member of my trip, but I also felt as though there we tons of opportunities for personal growth and stepping out of my comfort zone! i was able to make tons of new friends, memories, and overall change as a person, and its due to the comfort of my trip leaders, they are well trained and a very good at pushing you to succeed and stepping out of your comfort zone whilst making sure the effects of homesickness dont kick you down, i truly believe everyone should do this or another tft at some point in their life!

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!!! :)

My trip to Greece was incredible, all thanks to Travels for Teens. This program provided me with the chance to meet new people and make meaningful connections. 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.

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.

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!!

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.
