What people love about Greece and Turkey Tours in April
- Best of Turkey and Greece with island hopping (Small Group)
the trip flowed nicely.
- The Great Odyssey (Small Group)
An exceptionally comprehensive tour of the main attractions in Turkey with a fully escorted tour while you are on the most picturesque Greek islands at your own pace. I and my husband, really appreciated the incredible culture of Turkey and food, hospitality of local people. Our guide Mahmet and driver Mujit were very nice people. The trip is a group tour in Turkey. When you pass to Greece, your trip changes almost to a private tour. It makes sense with a group it would be difficult to appreciate these heaven-like islands. We mostly liked Crete among Greek Islands and we want to come back here again for a longer stay. The communication with Eskapas was easy and the trip is generally well planned. It is also well-balanced in terms of sightseeing, free time and discovery.. We have already booked our trip to Italy for 2024! thank you!!!
- Istanbul to Athens - 14 days
Fatih took care of the group well. He was informative, patient, easy-going, and met our needs. Transportation between destinations was great, especially on communication between pickups
