    The guides were excellent, answering all our questions. The cultural insights from our guides added a lot of meaning to each stop. We appreciated the mix of scheduled tours and free time to wander at our own pace. It was exceeded my expectations. Many thanks to Eskapas!

    The hotels were comfortable and well-kept, and the entire trip went off without a hitch. he transfers went without a hitch, making it easy for us to relax. The guides were attentive, and having a smaller group was a definite advantage. And my favorite part of this trip was Cappadocia. It was sooo beutiful!

    Kicking off the trip in Athens set a great tone with endless sites to uncover. The shift to Greece’s islands was effortless, and the mix of city exploration and island relaxation was a perfect blend. Each part brought something unique. I’d relive it all again!

    The guides added so much depth with their knowledge of history and culture, bringing each stop to life. The schedule struck the right balance, with guided activities during the day and enough time in the evenings for solo exploring. It was a well-thought-out tour.

    The cruise leg of the tour was such a treat. Santorini and Mykonos had incredible views, and the boat itself was cozy and inviting. It really felt like a vacation within a vacation—I’d recommend it to anyone looking for both adventure and relaxation.

    The itinerary was smoothly run, and we always had enough time at each stop. It was reassuring to have regular check-ins from the company throughout. Istanbul, Cappadocia, and the Greek islands were unforgettable highlights.

      Marc

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Does the tour (classical Greece...) have an opportunity to visit Ephesus? It is in the description but the itenerary. The caves are also not in the itemeritenerary.

    • EskapasOperatorWritten October 2024

      Ephesus can be added to the cruise part for the cost of 110USD per person. It is optional. Concerning the cave hotel upgrade, normally your hotel is a 4-star standard hotel. Cave hotels are luxury small boutique hotels constructed in the volcanic rocks. e.g. Google Yunak Evi or Dere Suite Cappadocia. The upgrade include the supplement for two nights at one of these hotels inc. breakfast and dinner

    What are our options for 3 travellers? We are 3 friends, one male and two females who require separate beds. Is there any triple options?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • EskapasOperatorWritten February 2022

      You can stay in triple room even on board during cruise. Please note that in some hotels the third room is an additional bed which can cause the room more smaller. However the hotels we work are usually have spacious room.

      Shelley

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      We are back to two now, but need twin share. Spacious rooms sounds very good as we have not shared a room before. We have not finalised our dates at the moment, but are looking at June or September.

    • EskapasOperatorWritten February 2022

      I quoted for 15th June (can be changed when you're sure) for 2 people in twin room. Please note that September is slightly expensive than June.
