Behind our group trips
Who is this trip for?
Our Crete trip is perfect for open-minded travelers looking for new experiences, meaningful connections, and a taste of authentic Greek island life. If you love sun-drenched beaches, fresh seafood, local wine, olive oil tastings, long lunches, and wandering through charming villages, this is the trip for you!
Our Crete getaway is for curious, open-minded women who want to experience Greece beyond the typical vacation…to discover the island’s rich culture, incredible food, and beautiful coastal towns while sharing it all with an amazing group of women.
Think lazy beach days, seaside lunches, sips of local wine, learning the secrets of Cretan cuisine, exploring picturesque Old Towns, and soaking up the slower pace of island life. If that sounds like your kind of getaway, this trip is for you.
Unique considerations for Crete
- Flights: You will be flying in & out of Chania (CHQ) by June 20 and departing June 27.
- Transportation: we’ll have private drivers, ferries & boat rides to explore the island. We will be walking in the towns, so bring comfy shoes!
- Weather: at this time of year, the weather during the day will feel quite warm, but the evenings will be cooler.

Luxury Travel Advisor
Meet your host
Favorite place she’s traveled: Kenya, where she spent two nights at the Giraffe Manor, feeding the gentle giants at breakfast and tea time and floating over the Masai Mara in hot air balloon at sunrise.
Top of her bucket list: Egypt, where she wants to sail down the Nile on a luxurious cruise. She would also love to hike to Machu Picchu, so she can really understand what people went through to get there when they were building it. The hotel she’s swooning over is the ultra-luxe Amangiri in Utah.
Her favorite hidden gems: Two of her favorite hidden gems are in Athens: one is a vintage store that has great pieces of art and matchbooks and the other is a street artist that creates watercolors of the monuments. Both of these make amazing souvenirs that are so meaningful and not mass produced!
Her top travel tips: Ask the local barista or bartender what their favorite restaurant is. You’re more likely to find a local spot when you ask someone who lives there. Also, when planning a trip, build your itinerary based on one to two “anchors” per day, to avoid overbooking yourself. And don’t be afraid to change your plans if they no longer align with your trip goals!
Little luxuries she loves when traveling: Hotels with turndown services like dimming the lights, turning down the covers, and setting out slippers. She also loves a local spa treatment of some kind, a Thai Massage in Thailand, a Japanese Head Spa in Japan, or Sauna in a Nordic Country. It’s fun to try a beauty treatment that’s popular in the country you’re visiting!
Questions about our group trips? We have answers.
What is the age range?
Our trips are open to anyone aged 21+. We offer segmented trips for specific age ranges: Scout Escapes for our Gen Z and Millennial travelers -or- Scout Escapes Beyond for our mother/daughter and Gen X and beyond travelers. We offer different itineraries tailored to each age group to foster friendship and exploration!
Can you explain your pricing
Our group trips are bespoke itineraries, curated with boutique hotels and private experiences. We exclusively select 4 and 5-star hotels and prioritize private guided activities and private transportation with trusted travel partners in the industry to provide you with an exceptional trip that is worth the price tag.
Is this open to first-time travelers?
Absolutely! Our trips are open to first-time travelers and travel veterans alike. We craft our trips in detail and can assist you every step of the way. You’ll be given an abundance of information, including destination info, travel tips, packing list, and restaurant and free-time recommendations. As always, you will also have your expert host and local guides with you during the entire trip!
How are roommates assigned?
All attendees are required to submit an extensive questionnaire that helps us get to know you and pair roommates. We take into account sleeping habits, travel preferences, tidiness, personality, hobbies and interests to choose your roommate. We also open our Instagram group chat if you prefer to find a roommate with someone you vibe with on your own. If you prefer to be solo, single rooms are an additional fee & subject to availability.
Can I explore on my own?
Yes, you can absolutely do things on your own. We have scheduled free time in every destination and provide you with a list of suggestions for activities. You’re welcome to explore on your own or opt in with the group for an optional free time activity.
Why are your trips priced in Euros?
With the ever-changing foreign exchange rate, it’s easier for us to price our trips in Euros as this is how we pay our vendors. But don’t worry – we do the exchange rate for you when sending invoices so you will be charged in USD at a flat 1.10 exchange rate.
Sit back & relax, you’re in good hands
"Traveling with Scout Escapes was everything I hoped it would be and more. The itinerary was thoughtful, and nothing too much trouble for our amazing hosts. It is the perfect solution for women who love a luxury travel experience and want the fun energy that a girls’ trip provides, but with none of the stress! "

"After my first trip with Scout Escapes I knew right away that I needed to go on another, and once again it was an amazing experience! Every detail was thoughtfully planned out - from the accommodations, meals, logistics and the activities ... Highly recommend, I'm already eager for a third trip!"
Mallorca, 2025

"The idea of traveling to a foreign country with completely terrified me, but Scout Escapes made it all worth while. I’ve always wanted to go to Greece, but the planning of island hopping intimidated me. I recommend Scout Escapes for any woman who is a solo traveler, wanting to make friends, or just needs to rejuvenate and get out of the norm..."
