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

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

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

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.

Does the tour end up in Greece. What flights are included. If we wanted to spend more time in greece at the end, could we delay our flight by 5-6 days so that we could stay in greece.

No, this tour ends at Istanbul Airport after returning from Cappadocia. The tour includes three flights: Bucharest to Istanbul, Istanbul to Cappadocia, and then back from Cappadocia to Istanbul. If you'd like to extend your stay in Greece, we can arrange pre-tour accommodations or even add destinations like Mykonos and Santorini.

What is the cost of your single supplement?

the price for the single supplement is €3,995

How are the meals planned? I understand breakfast is in the hotel. How about Lunch and Dinner? are these included in the fees?

Breakfast is included everywhere at hotels, except in Meteora where you also have one dinner included at the hotel.

I like to know more about this listed trip for Oct.6th to 17th 2025 and flights.

This is a small tour for up to 8 people, starting from Athens with a shared group and local guides until Meteora. From Meteora to Sofia, it will be with a private guide and driver in a small group. Then, from Sofia to Bucharest, we offer a private transfer from hotel to hotel with local tours included. The package also includes flights from Bucharest to Istanbul, Istanbul to Cappadocia and then from Cappadocia back to Istanbul.

Does the $2,567 includes flight from USA?

No, the flights are included in the tour. This covers flights from Bucharest to Istanbul, Istanbul to Cappadocia and back from Cappadocia to Istanbul.

Great tour that hit a number of highlights across Europe and Asia. It gave us the opportunity to sample a number of locations and now we have an idea of what to explore further in the future and what was good enough to see the one time. If you are looking for a tour that has someone hold your hand and guide you throughout the whole tour like some large tour packages do, this may not be for you. For my wife and me this was just fine for us being a smaller tour group. We received our itinerary along with all the information on where to meet when for the day tours, hotels, driver arrangements and flight information during the tour. The guides that took us at each stop were great, very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour is set to be a small group tour that changes somewhat. We had just 1 other couple during the first 2/3rds of the tour and another couple plus a solo traveler during the last 3rd and they were all really cool which made the trip enjoyable. On some of the tours we were moved into a larger tour group on a large bus with 40+ people for the day which surprised us at first, but it all worked out as our little group stayed together. Because the trip ended in Istanbul late at night and our flight out was not till later the next day, we just asked Ajdinis to arrange a hotel and transportation arrangement and they took care of it. Great communication using the Tour Radar app, highly recommend downloading it so everything is right at your fingers in one place without having to dig through emails. Definitely would look at using this tour company againShow more
