- AHana T.· November 21st, 2024The entire trip went smoothly. It was wonderful to have someone waiting for us at each airport, always welcoming and taking care of our things. Every accommodation we booked was fantastic. And these weren't even the improved hotels! Wouldn't have changed anything. We will definitely arrange a trip to Greece with Eskapas in the future!Show moreTrip date: September 2024Review collected by Eskapas
- AKenji S.· November 21st, 2024The experience was fantastic—the absolute best!!! Every pick-up and transfer went just as planned, with no issues. The tour guides were knowledgeable, interesting, and helpful. We took the optional hot air balloon flight, which was enchanting—soaring above the stunning rock formations at sunrise. Thank you for all of your planning and arrangements. I think it was good value for money.Show moreTrip date: July 2024Review collected by Eskapas
- ABenedict F.· November 21st, 2024Our tour organizers in Turkey and Greece were extremely knowledgable, and the guides at each stop were exceptional. There's a lot to see, which is especially intriguing if you're into history. Overall, the accommodations in Turkey were nice, but not as fantastic as those in Greece.Show moreTrip date: October 2023Review collected by Eskapas
- AOwen L.· November 21st, 2024This was a tour for individuals interested in the ancient world and civilisation's past, as well as enjoying stunning landscapes and present cultures in these countries. The tour guides, one for Greece and one for Turkey, were flawless. The cuisine was the Mediterranean diet on steroids, and the hotels well exceeded our expectations. We were glad we were on a smaller group tour because there are many more possibilities for exploring than on larger group tours. We'd want to thank our guide Selim to provide us with this wonderful experience.Show moreTrip date: October 2024Review collected by Eskapas

- AJavier M.· November 21st, 2024This tour of Greece and Turkey was an incredible journey! The guides were very knowledgeable, and one of them was also really funny, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The accommodations were comfortable and often exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, giving us a real taste of the local cuisine. From the ancient ruins in Athens to the bustling bazaars in Istanbul, every day was an adventure. The hot-air balloon ride in Cappadocia was a standout experience that I'll never forget. Overall, a well-organized and unforgettable trip!Show moreTrip date: June 2024Review collected by Eskapas

The food was tasty, offering a great mix of local flavors. The sights were stunning, with each location more breathtaking than the last. Hot-air ballooning in Cappadocia was the highlight of the trip and an unforgettable experience.

Traveler•Written April 2024I'm open on which islands to replace it with, one of the Saronics like Hydro works

We can only deduct one night and Saronic Day from your package and you can book on your own this part. We can also deduct airport transfer from Athens on Day 11 so you can stay longer. Because We don't have transfer services from Saronic islands.
