What is the difference in accommodations or example options for 3, 4, and 5 star?

Also, how big is the typical group? Our timeframe would be in May 2025.

Our group has 3 people, with 2 sharing one room and one staying in a separate room. How would the tour package price work in this situation?

Could you please let me know which is the hotel category you prefer in order to send you the exact cost for the single and the double room?

My friend and I are wanting to do the Turkey And Greece tour June 4 for 11 days. We tried to book yesterday for a twin room but the option was not available that we could see. Could you please email back with options for us plus a price for the tour as it appears to be confusing.

We were requesting twin beds when we booked the tour and paid the deposit, can you please explain what you mean by categories. We are flying into Istanbul on the 2nd and have already booked our own accommodation at Verseca Hotel for the 2 nights. Do you pick us up from there on the 4th?

would you be able to send me the list of hotels for the time period I am going to book

For your stay you can choose between 3*, 4* or 5* at the time of booking. As soon as you complete your reservation, our reservations team will book your hotel, which is always subject to availability.

Will you be running this tour early June 2025 as we would like to book this tour.

I would like to confirm you that we will run this package in June 2025. This package has daily departures and be available on tourradar in a few days.

Can I please have a quote for a solo traveler departing October 27 or 28th?

This package does not have the dates open for the end of October since the connection between the Greek islands cannot be done by ferry since being low season there are no daily routes. Yet, we can always connect Athens and the Greek islands by adding flights instead of ferries. Would you be interested in this option?

I am planning a Greece-Turkey trip in April 2025. Do you have the 2025 trip schedule, either in March or April.

We have packages that combine Greece and Turkey with available departures for March / April. First week of April is recommended when high season begins and you'll have a variety of program choices. I need to know more about your specific destination preferences.

We really enjoyed the tours suggested in Athens and Santorini. We loved visiting Greece in October because there were fewer tourists.

Your choice of hotel is terrible, unthoughtful and unprofessional. We upgraded from a three-star to four-star hotel for the trip in order to ensure the cleaniness and comfort level of our travel. Instead we were put into a hotel in Istanbul that cannot even be rated as one-star (for three nights on a roll plus one extra dayI!!). The room is in very poor condition; bedding was old and felt wet and not clean and the entire room was just a big bed with no space for anythng else. One of us has to make way in order for the other to squeezed into the bathroom. The electric outlet was wobbly and we could not get our universal plug into it to charge our phone (any other hotels we later booked at our own expense has no problem with charging our phone, not to mention the much higher sanitarian standard and comfort level for less than 80 euro a night, which shows that Istanbul is not a third-world country with poor conditions as one of you claimed when I brough up the sitation in WhatsApp. There are plenty of good hotels at a decent price in tourist areas.) Due to one of us having to be in the hospital, we had to cancel our entire trip regrettably, but I am glad that we were able to escpate from the miserable of that hotel even though we missed the entire trip which we had been looiking forward to. We will definetly look for a diffferent tourist company in the future for our trave needs.Show more

Reply from: Greca
Dear Hongbo, By the time we received your initial message about the hotel, we reached out to our local team to request a room change and secure a better category for you. Sadly, before this could be confirmed and communicated, we received your message about the medical emergency and cancellation, which understandably shifted our attention to supporting you through that urgent situation. We deeply regret not being able to react faster to improve the hotel situation in time. It was certainly never our intention for you to feel let down or unsupported, and we’re truly sorry the accommodation did not meet the standards you expected—or the ones we strive to uphold. Despite this experience, we do hope there might be a chance in the future to regain your trust and assist you with new travel plans. Thousands of travelers place their journeys in our hands every year, and we always aim to offer them the care, professionalism, and service they deserve. Thanks. Regards, Greca Travel

  In relation to hotel categories, they can differ by location, room quality, and hotel renovation status. In Istanbul, Cappadocia and Athens only 4* hotels can have a pool, which is usually not found in 3* hotels. In the islands, 3* hotels more commonly have pools. 5* hotels offer all services including great quality rooms, comfortable locations, and pools.

  The package ''OSMANLI'' for August 5th until 15th, for a triple room with 3* hotels, costs EUR 2,263 per person. Keep in mind that this price, has the 10% discount which we offer and it will remain active for a few more days, so let's harry up and finalize the reservation without loosing this great chance.

  We were requesting twin beds when we booked the tour and paid the deposit, can you please explain what you mean by categories. We are flying into Istanbul on the 2nd and have already booked our own accommodation at Verseca Hotel for the 2 nights. Do you pick us up from there on the 4th?
- GrecaOperator•Written September 2024
  In case that you do, I want to have the reference number which we gave you. In case you don't have a booking with us, I inform you that the cost of the 'OSMANLI' package from June 4th until the 14th of 2025, for a twin room, the cost is EUR 2,451 per person, including the 10% discount which we're offering and it remains active for couple of days. In case you book your own hotel on June 4th, there is no reason to worry about it since we will schedule your transfer from the Hotel Verseca and take you to the other hotel, which we'll book for you with the rest of the services of the 'OSMANLI' package.

  Traveler•Written September 2024
  Can you please tell me the difference between 3 and 4 star and also how much more per person to upgrade to a 4 Star hotel with twin beds?
- GrecaOperator•Written September 2024
  The difference between the 2 options is the category of the hotel, which depends from the services that each hotel offers. More specifically, those differences can be the location of it, if it has a pool, if it's renovated in the last few years and obviously the quality of the rooms. If you want to upgrade your reservation with 4* hotels, the extra cost is EUR 190.70 per person.

  Traveler•Written September 2024
  Are you saying that there is a possibility that in the 3 star hotels there may not be a toilet or a bathroom, as we would definitely want a toilet in the room and prefer to have a bathroom.
- GrecaOperator•Written September 2024
  No, clearly not! Of course they will have a bathroom in their hotels. I meant a bathroom larger in size, like a room larger in size. The difference between the categories is the facilities offered by each hotel.
