14 Days in Greece & Turkey, incl. Athens and Istanbul
This 14-day trip covers 23 spots across Greece and Turkey, starting in Athens where you'll see the Acropolis and its museum. Then there's a cruise stopping at Mykonos, Patmos, Heraklion in Crete, and Santorini before heading to Turkey. The trip wraps up in Istanbul with visits to Topkapi Palace's Harem, the Grand Bazaar, and a Bosphorus cruise.
- Days 1-2
Athens
Begin in Greece's historic capital. Use day one to settle in and day two for city sightseeing. Visit the Acropolis before 8:30 AM to avoid crowds. Your morning tour includes the Panathenaic Stadium and Temple of Olympian Zeus. Book a hotel near Plaka for easy evening walks.
- Days 3-4
Greek Islands Cruise
Take a smaller cruise ship to Mykonos and Santorini (or Syros in March-April). One traveler notes: "If you're prone to seasickness, be prepared as you'll feel more movement than on larger ships." Walk through Mykonos' white alleys at night and watch the famous Santorini sunset in Oia.
- Day 5
Kusadasi to Istanbul
Land in Kusadasi early before flying to Istanbul. A past visitor mentions: "The transfer process was smooth - our guide walked us through ticketing, which was very appreciated." Your evening is free to walk around Sultanahmet.
- Days 6-7
Ankara & Cappadocia
Head to Ankara to see the Anatolian Civilizations Museum. Next stop is Cappadocia with its underground cities and UNESCO-listed Göreme Open Air Museum. Consider a cave hotel but remember: "Even though it was cold outside, the cave rooms can get quite warm with no AC."
- Days 8-9
Pamukkale & Ephesus
Visit Pamukkale's white terraces, then spend a day at ancient Ephesus. One traveler suggests: "Bring a hat and water - the ruins offer little shade." You'll also see the House of Virgin Mary and local craft workshops.
- Days 10-11
Western Turkey
Stop at Pergamon's Asclepion healing center before visiting Troy and Çanakkale. Take a ferry across the Dardanelles to see Gallipoli's WWI sites. A visitor recalls: "Our guide's emotional explanation at Gallipoli really brought the history to life."
- Days 12-14
Istanbul
Spend your final days exploring Istanbul. Take a boat trip on the Bosphorus and visit Hagia Sophia early. A smart tip from a recent visitor: "Save your serious shopping for Istanbul - you'll have more time and better selection than at other stops."

We recently returned from our group tour to Greece and Turkey and while there were certainly memorable moments, there were also some areas that could have been improved. Some of the hotels provided were very good and comfortable, which we appreciated. However, a few of the accommodations did not meet the standard we were expecting for this type of trip. It would be helpful if hotel quality could be more consistent throughout the itinerary. In terms of meals, we enjoyed the 5 included dinners in Turkey, but we felt that it would have been more balanced to include at least a few meals—either lunch or dinner—while in Greece as well. One major point of concern was the travel time between cities. We spent two full days on the road, which felt like a loss of valuable touring time. These long bus journeys were tiring and left very little opportunity for sightseeing or rest. Lastly, we only had one full day in Istanbul, which was not enough to truly explore and enjoy such a rich and vibrant city. Many members of our group were disappointed that we couldn’t spend more time there, especially since it’s such a highlight of the region. Overall, we appreciated the effort that went into planning this trip, but we believe that with better time distribution, improved hotel selection, and a more balanced meal plan, the experience could have been significantly better.
