Where: Karpathos, Greece<\/b><\/p>\n

Chosen By:\u00a0<\/strong>Elizabeth Avery, founder of\u00a0Solo Trekker 4 U<\/a>, a website with deals and tips on solo travel savings whose motto is \u201cTop Quality Lower Prices.”<\/p>\n

Why:<\/strong>\u00a0The Greek Island of Karpathos offers\u00a0much of the same allure as chic Santorini and Mykonos, but with the advantage of lower prices. Karpathos is the second largest of the Dodecanese Island chain, which includes better-known Rhodes. Karpathos dates back to the 5th century BC, offering history buffs a way to have two trips in one, combining sun and sand with a step back in time. Ancient ruins can still be seen at Aghia Anastasia, while the island\u2019s history can be studied in more detail in the Archaeological Museum.\u00a0Beyond lounging on white-sand beaches, active travelers can choose from a selection of sports: fishing, windsurfing, snorkeling, scuba diving and sailing.\u00a0Away from the well-worn tourist path, Karpathos has hillsides covered in vibrant wild flowers and small villages\u00a0like Arkasas\u00a0to explore. The island\u2019s capital, Pighadia, is a modern city, but in small towns like Olympos, traditional dress is still worn day-to-day and life has the authentic feel of the past.\u00a0Karpathos has many apartments and studios to rent, resulting in real savings. There are plenty of budget hotels under $100. Multiple restaurants and tavernas dot the countryside, where you can\u00a0savor traditional Greek dishes at low prices.<\/p>\n
