As we step into 2026, the travel landscape has shifted. Discerning travelers are no longer looking for crowded cruise ships or rushed sightseeing bus tours. Today, the luxury of travel lies in connection—connection to the land, the culture, and a like-minded community.
If you are searching for an experience that combines physical rejuvenation with ancient soul, look no further than the Greek Islands Tour departing this May 16, 2026.
As the Best International Tour Operator in Vancouver-BC, Canada, Adventures Abroad is proud to present Tour Code XGI: Hiking the Greek Isles – Cycladic Paths & Cretan Gorges. This isn’t just a holiday; it’s a masterclass in slow travel.
The Magic of the Cyclades and Crete by Foot
There is a specific kind of silence found only on the ancient stone-paved kalderimia (mule paths) of the Greek Islands. It’s the sound of thyme crushing underfoot and the distant chime of goat bells.
On our international tours, we prioritize the “unseen” Greece. While the crowds congregate at the caldera’s edge in Santorini, our small groups are venturing into the heart of the islands:
- Naxos: Hike through lush valleys and ancient olive groves to discover Byzantine churches hidden in the hills.
- Amorgos: Traverse the dramatic cliffs leading to the Monastery of Hozoviotissa, a white-washed marvel clinging to a rock face above the deep blue Aegean.
- Crete: Challenge yourself in the legendary Samaria Gorge, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that offers some of the most spectacular geology in the Mediterranean.
Why Small Groups Matter in 2026
The era of “mass tourism” is fading. The current SEO and travel trends for 2025-2026 show a massive surge in demand for Best small group tours.
Why? Because small groups allow for agility. We stay in boutique, family-run guesthouses. We eat at long tables in village tavernas where the owner remembers your name. Most importantly, we leave a smaller footprint, ensuring that these delicate island ecosystems remain pristine for generations to come.
Empowering the Modern Solo Traveler
One of the most beautiful trends we’ve seen at Adventures Abroad is the rise of solo travel for women and travel groups for solo travelers.
We understand that “solo” doesn’t have to mean “alone.” Our solo tour groups provide a safe, structured, and social environment. Whether you are seeking a roommate to share the journey or prefer your own private sanctuary at the end of the day, our itineraries are designed to foster community without sacrificing personal independence.
Redefining Senior Travel: Active, Engaged, and Curious
Forget the stereotypes of senior tours. Today’s 50+ traveler is fitter and more adventurous than ever. Our Small Group Travel for Seniors focuses on “Active Discovery.”
The XGI Tour is curated specifically for those who want to keep moving. We don’t just look at the mountains; we walk them. We don’t just read about the history; we stand in the ruins of the Minoan Palace of Knossos after a morning trek. It is the perfect balance of physical activity and cultural immersion.
