About this trip

You've been asking for it - I've gotchu! We're going to GREECE!!! 


Embark on an unforgettable vegan adventure with our vegan group trip to Greece, where we'll immerse ourselves in the rich cultural tapestry of Athens, Naxos, and Paros. In the heart of Athens, we'll delve into a perfect blend of gastronomic delights and historical treasures. 


We'll start with a beautiful walking foodie and historical tour of the ancient city, as we explore local markets and hidden culinary gems. Next, we'll visit the islands of Paros and Naxos  with their unique charms. Paros will enchant us with a comprehensive highlights tour, allowing us to discover the island's beauty and authenticity. Meanwhile, in Naxos, we'll embark on a full-day island tour, immersing ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes that define this Aegean gem. The magic continues with a sunset mythology walking tour, where Naxos reveals its legends and stories as the day draws to a close. To complete our maritime adventure, a leisurely cruise will offer a picturesque view of the Greek islands, providing the perfect ending to our vegan odyssey through the enchanting landscapes of Greece.

About My Trips

As always, all the food served on this trip will be vegan and we will only be supporting locally owned hotels, restaurants, and businesses. Travel should always help the local community, never hurt it and I remain committed to ethics. 

FAQs

If I'm not vegan, can I still come?


Yes, absolutely! I actually have a lot of non vegans on my trips and I love having them! Whether you're here because you're vegan, vegetarian, have a dairy allergy, don't eat certain types of meat for religious reasons, or just think this sounds like a cool trip, you are welcome here!


However, I do want to note that all the food served on the trip is vegan so if vegan food does not sound appealing to you, I might recommend a different trip. 


What's the age range of people on the trip?


We do require everyone on the trip to be 18+. And truly EVERYONE is welcome. I would say the average age is around 25-35 however, I've had people of all ages on the trip and this is a welcoming environment for everyone. 


What are the accommodations like?


I work with locally owned, upscale boutique hotels. Typically 3 or 4 star. Prices are based on double occupancy but you have the option to upgrade to a single room if you like. 


Note, I always pair people of the same gender together for the rooms. You will never be roomed with someone of a different gender. To pair, I basically stalk your socials and match people together based on vibes. I'm quite good at it if I do say so myself. 


If you'd like to know the exact hotels, please shoot me an email at travel@annathingbutanimals.com. I'm happy to share, it's just due to the size and reach of my platform and because the dates are public, I don't post the hotels publicly for safety reasons. 


Do most people come alone or with a friend/partner?


Whether you are alone or with a friend or partner, you are absolutely welcome! I would say around 80% of people come solo and 20% come with a friend or partner!


How can I bring my friend/partner?


If you're signing up together, just choose "2" at checkout". Then, when checking out, you'll fill out the intake form and just make a note that you're coming together and would like to be roomed together! If you are traveling as a couple, you do not need to upgrade to a single room. I will automatically put you in one!


For flights, should I arrive at a specific time? 


Yes, ideally! When you check out, you'll get an email with all the details on ideal flight times. Note: we are also flexible. If you need to come a day earlier/leave a day later, we can absolutely help arrange that. 


If you have any additional questions, please shoot me an email at travel@annathingbutanimals.com.

I’m Anna and I believe vegans can have amazing travel experiences and eat authentic foods and learn about local culture without sacrificing their values. I’m an expert at crafting once in a lifetime itineraries that are vegan friendly, culture focused, support locally owned businesses, and are fun, once in a lifetime!

One of my favorite travel experiences ever! Everyone was so genuine and welcoming, and I think I have made friends for a lifetime! THe itinerary was a good balance of structure and free time: interesting walking history tours, vegan food tours, beach/pool time, shopping, people-watching :) I miss it so much already and frequently find myself going through the pictures..

Trying my hardest to not come off as sappy and incredible — I truly had such a lovely time adventuring around a new place with wonderful foods and histories. And fostering genuine (lifelong 🤞🤞) connections with the kind, curious, beautiful people who were there with me to do the same. Could not have asked for a better time. Thanks, Anna for organizing a wonderful trip and being so attentive. Will 100% travel with you again!!!

Anna provided a really amazing experience for all the group, she is very attentive, organized, caring and most of all fun. She made really good choices pairing the roommates and taking care of the activities. She made the trip feel like we all were already good friends! I have so many fond memories of this trip, but mostly of the people, I will absolutely travel with her again. Anna’s vibes are 100% ;)

Amazing! I made new friends, ate so much delicious food and made lifelong memories!

We were truly blown away at how much thought and passion went into this event. The food, the wine, the beautiful menus, the custom tote bags at the end — you could really feel the love that went into every detail. The food was INCREDIBLE. Every single dish. We also did the wine pairings and I had never tried Palestinian wine before, each one was delicious. I loved how the Chef explained the menu a bit in the beginning too. Thank you so much Anna and team for this celebration of Palestinian culture and cuisine. We’re so proud to have been part of it.

I just finished my first trip with Anna, Greece 2024, it was amazing. I knew I would have fun, make memories and eat delicious food, I mean that's what life is all about, right!?! What I didn't expect is how much this trip would impact me in so many ways. I met the most beautiful like minded people, we shared endless laughs and stories, we bonded over shared vegan experiences, travel stories, life events and drinks!! In 8 days we went from complete strangers to what I hope will be lifelong friends. I left feeling refreshed, inspired and fulfilled. Anna herself is a…I'm seriously having trouble putting it in words…she's more than meets the eye, she's beautiful inside and out, she's fun, smart, thoughtful and has a great sense of humor! Simply put, I adore her! But maybe I just got lucky, I left this trip with so much love for everyone I had the pleasure of spending the week with. It was as though she had picked a group of like minded people she knew would vibe perfectly. As far as the actual trip Anna planned, I loved that too!! We had amazing food at some wonderful places. We danced, we drank, we saw stunning sights and learned a lot about the rich history of Greece. Anna did a wonderful job planning this once in a lifetime experience for us and I have no doubt in my mind her trips will somehow continue to improve. I enjoyed this experience so much that I'm not even home from Greece and I'm looking into booking Guatemala with her in December! TLDR; would I recommend a trip with Anna, absolutely!!
