Solo holidays

Croatia is beautiful.

If you are a walker, try HF. Both uk and abroad. Not singles as such but good sociable holidays. You don’t need to be very fit as walks are different levels of ability.

Could you consider a cruise. Two birds with one stone. Long haul and safe. 35 days from Southampton to Barbados, round the islands and back.

Early 60s here and I travel solo too. My favourite non long haul destination is Greece. So many islands to get to!

Holland, Belgium, Barcelona ? I’ve been told are all very nice - Bon voyage

I'm 72 (today!) and have travelled solo for many years. I've been all over Europe, and mostly on a pretty tight budget. I would love to go on one of the Solo travel organised holidays, but they are out of my budget. However I've been to Germany, Italy, Spain, but my favourite is a small village in the south of France. I like being able to do what I want, when I want!

Germany. Not on many peoples list but so lovely. Try a river cruise to get a feel for it. Maybe visit Bavaria, Harz Mountains, River Main etc. Colmar France for Christmas market.

Dalmatian Coast in Croatia, stunning scenery, great weather and in many places still completely unspoilt

What about Madeira? It has a good climate, food, wine and some lovely walks.

Have you thought about cruising. Lots of opportunities for like minded solo travellers. I have used a company called passion for cruising who specialise in solos.

Malta and Gozo are lovely places.

I am a singleton and would love to travel solo but when I look at the options for solo travellers they seem very expensive…at least too expensive for my budget!

How far is too far? I went on a Solos group holiday to the Silk Road. We flew to Tashkent, and visited Kiva, Bhukara and Samarkand. Not sure if you could do it unless on an organised tour, but certainly worth a visit.

I loved Sweden.. it is a short air flight and then has brilliant transport,, especially visit the little islands near Stockholm..

My "go to" place is Italy
SO much to see!

Croatia is safe and beautiful! You can get buses and ferries all over plus there are trains but not too good! Zagreb to Split by train is a great journey! Zadar is a lovely town plus you can island hop! Hvar and Brac fab! Are for lone females go for it

Welcome Ava25. I think it's a good idea to have "younger" grannies on here. I also don't think 51 is "considerably" younger than many others. Hope you enjoy Gransnet.

You are considerably younger than most of the GNs here, I wonder if Mumsnet might offer you better opinions.

Have a look on the Travel Site.. There’s a thread about solo holidays,
