    Anita

    Asked on March 21st, 2026

    Can I remove flights from Istanbul to Cappadocia and back, and add one more night's stay in Istanbul at the same hotel?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • AjdinisOperator•Written March 2026

      Yes, it is possible to add one extra night in Istanbul and remove the Cappadocia part from the program.

  • V

    Valerie

    Asked on February 8th, 2026

    Do you have a tour that leaves Athens near the 9th and would let us get off the tour in Sofia or Bucharest?

    Tour Details
    • AjdinisOperator•Written February 2026

      We have a tour available starting 9 March 2026. At the moment, we do not have any registrations for these dates and we require a minimum of 3 passengers to operate the tour as a small group. If you prefer, we can convert this tour to private which from Athens to Meteora portion would be operated with a shared group and from Meteora to Bucharest portion would be private, which would cost an additional 250€ per person.

    • AjdinisOperator•Written February 2026

      We can offer you another proposal: If you consider the same dates and itinerary as to Sofia, 2 nights in Athens, 1 night in Meteora. From there, a private tour 1 night in Thessaloniki, 1 night or 2 night in Sofia. We can do this tour for 1890 euros per person.
