    The Eskapas team was so friendly to my wife, Mary, and me that we felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. They always aimed to provide the best service and were available anytime we needed assistance. The hotels they arranged, the itinerary, and the cruise were all beautiful and unique experiences. Our thanks go out to Alex, our tour operator, and the entire Eskapas team for making this trip so special.

    This trip was filled with incredible natural and historic sites. Having a knowledgeable guide made the experience even better, adding so much value to each place we visited. Exploring Turkey with this agency gave me so many unforgettable memories, thanks to the guides who looked after every detail we needed. The small group size also made it easier to connect and enjoy the journey.

    On this 12-day tour, we saw many unforgettable places, but my favorites were definitely Pamukkale with its natural hot springs and white calcium terraces, and the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia. The weather was perfect throughout – not too hot or too cold. With top-notch accommodations and excellent guides, all we had to do was enjoy every moment of the journey.

All questions
  • C

    Carmen

    Asked on January 8th, 2025

    Is the flight from izmir to Istanbul at the end included? Just clarifying the wording. Of onward flight vs outbound flight. I assume the outbound flight refers to the flight leaving Istanbul

    Flights / Transfers
    • EskapasOperatorWritten January 2025

      Domestic flight Izmir to Istanbul is not included. Its cost is 75USD per person. We are adding this in case our customers prefer us to book it when they have extensions in Istanbul. Most of them they issue their international flights from Izmir. In that case the leg price ADB-ISD (Izmir-Istanbul is almost 1/3 of this price). If you let me know the travel date and will you be travelling solo etc. I may quote it accordingly.

  • P

    Pamela

    Asked on August 3rd, 2023

    Can you advise how strenuous the excursions/tours are? Will be booking with another solo traveller, would it be possible for them to have separate rooms close to each other for the duration of the tour?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • EskapasOperatorWritten August 2023

      The day excursions require to walk slowly 1-2 miles a day. If you have a friend that purchase the same tour for the same period we will can give side by side rooms. It is easy.

  • T

    Tina

    Asked on December 23rd, 2022

    Is any domestic flight necessary for this tour that is not included on the package? Or flight between Turkey or Greece?

    Megan

    Asked on December 22nd, 2022

    Is there single supplement?

    Single supplement
    • EskapasOperatorWritten December 2022

      Unfortunately solo travelers pay a single supplement and we are not able to match two solos in a double room since pandemic.

  • E

    Eileen

    Asked on November 20th, 2022

    Can I request to have my own room I'm doing solo

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • EskapasOperatorWritten November 2022

      Since pandemic we don't match two solos in one room dur to regulations. However it creates a single supplement. I am now adjusting your departure to May 6th 2023 for a single solo traveler. Let me know if you want to add great options such as External Cabin Upgrade 230 USD, Cave Hotel Upgrade in Cappadocia starting from 200USD, Balloon ride over Cappadocia 240 USD, Pre or post accommodations

    Anne

    Asked on May 29th, 2022

    Will I need to apply for a Schengen visa to enter Athens? I am an American citizen residing in Thailand.

    Visa
    • EskapasOperatorWritten May 2022

      As a US citizen you are required to obtain an e-visa via (15 minutes) at the governement web page evisa.gov.tr. To Greece until 90 days you don't need a visa. Our Athens hotels are in the city center and very close the hop-on / hop-off buses station as well as subway.

    Travel Support
    Visa
    • EskapasOperatorWritten May 2022

      You mentioned Morocco but it is not included in this trip. Only Turkey and Greece and Greek Islands as well. And you don't need other than Covid vaccine card. In case you don't have it you can also give a PCR test (negative). Latest restrictions can be found at related government web pages. Both countries health standards are OK.

    Asked on April 25th, 2022

    Can I get accommodation in a Cave Hotel while in Cappadocia, Turkey?

  • A

    Audrey

    Asked on February 14th, 2022

    Is it possible to stay in one room...two adults and our two children?

    Accommodation
    • A

      Audrey

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      The children at 12 and 15 years

    • EskapasOperatorWritten February 2022

      In some hotels there are family rooms that can accommodate 5-6 people. They are usually more expensive comparing to 2 double rooms side by side as they have also a common living rooms like suite rooms. In the cruise ship I can provide a 4 people berth (bunk beds) with no price increase. We are always providing the rooms side by side for the families. Unfortunately children over 12 years old are considered as adult so the premiums calculated are based also on adult prices.

    • A

      Audrey

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      What is your tour company doing to assist travelers that need to have COVID tests before their return flights home?

    • EskapasOperatorWritten February 2022

      Our guides in both countries are helping to our customers to take their test in the right time during the trip. For instance, before Celestyal cruise and your home flight you will be required to take your PCR tests. Our guides all know where and how to do it.
