Santorini City sightseeing Trips

There were many highlights of this tour (in October)! The food was excellent - both the breakfasts in the hotels and the restaurants recommended by our tour leader George. The hotels all had very good accommodation. The guided tour of the Acropolis in Athens was fascinating. The 7 hour ferry ride from Athens to Naxos was tedious but smooth and comfortable. Naxos is a charming island - we loved the old town with its narrow, winding streets. The 5km walk to Apiranthos was very enjoyable, with wide views and the jangling bells of the goats. Then on to Santorini - what a stunning landscape! Discovering its volcanic history was fascinating, and the 10km hike along the caldera was tiring but gave fascinating, varied things to see. The prehistory museum in Fira with its nearly 4000 year old frescoes was amazing. And the boat trip was exciting as we visited and hiked up a recent volcanic island, and enjoyed a tasty dinner and a sunset on board. Throughout the trip our tour leader George was well organised, patient, knew many good restaurants and had a lovely sense of humour. Plus he taught us a lot about Greek history and culture. This tour is highly recommended!

This tour gave me countless unforgettable memories, but the most special moment for me was the sunrise hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia. Floating above those unique valleys felt like a dream. Since returning to the U.S., I’ve recommended this tour to everyone I know. Huge thanks to Eskapas for their effort and warm smiles throughout, ensuring everything ran smoothly.

The tour was top quality. Every detail was thought out in advance, with careful planning you could really feel. The staff were responsible and clearly loved their work—it showed. We especially connected with our guide, Mehmet, who had both a strong grasp of history and a great sense of humor that brought positive energy to the group. Visiting the Mausoleum of Ataturk was an especially powerful moment, with Mehmet delivering an emotional and impactful explanation. As a history enthusiast, I was truly moved by the historical sites like Troy and Canakkale. Beyond that, the hotels and food were excellent, adding to a thoroughly memorable experience.

It's been a long time since I’ve been on a tour as seamless and refreshing as this one. I really needed this break, and I was so pleased that it met my expectations perfectly. In a word—wonderful.

As the tour name suggests, this journey captured the most remarkable sites of two exceptional countries. Each city we visited in Turkey had its own unique character, and it's a country overflowing with historical and natural beauty at every turn. Greece, too, is just as special, with Mykonos feeling like a true paradise getaway. The cruise days were definitely my personal highlight, adding a wonderful touch to the experience. A big thank you to Eskapas for handling all the organization flawlessly.

We could not of asked for a better tour guide than George, he was patient, catered for everyone’s ability. The excursions were really good. Hotels chosen where amazing we could not fault them at all
