Chania was probably my favorite spot, especially with how laid-back it felt. The ferry rides were actually really fun. I spent most of the time just watching the water and the dolphins.

I loved every moment of our tour from İstanbul to Kuşadası. The historical sites in Troy and Pergamon were fascinating. Our driver, Mehmet, was incredibly courteous and made us feel very safe. The hotels were comfortable, and the food was always fresh and tasty. A wonderful trip overall!

Wow to Turkey. So many things to say. Stunning landscapes, amazing cities, beautiful beaches, delicious meals and soooo much incredible history. Everything is also very affordable even with the very low Australian dollar right now. Best of all is the people, they are all full of personality, jokes and kindness. As a solo female traveler, no one hassled me (although I'm in my 50's) and I never felt unsafe at any time.

Taking this tour across Greece’s mainland and islands was such a rich and layered experience. Each day had its own flavor, blending history, culture, and just enough downtime to take it all in. Our guide, Stelio, was amazing at sharing stories that brought Greek mythology and history into each place we visited, and I felt genuinely connected to each site—Delphi and Meteora especially were something else. The hotels were comfortable and conveniently placed, which made it easy to enjoy some solo exploration. I have to give a nod to Alex from Eskapas for his seamless organization; everything felt thought-out from start to finish. Honestly, it’s rare to travel without a hitch, but this trip managed it, and I’m really glad I chose Eskapas.

Overall I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to everyone! Having everything organised for you, getting unique tips from your CEO to make the most of your trip and historical context from them of where you are and what's around you, and enjoying it with a group of new friends is the perfect combo! The only downside was my experience at Stalis Hotel unfortunately.

I have been dreaming of traveling to Turkey for a long time. I had initially booked this tour in 2020 and clearly it had to be cancelled. Five years later, my expectations were exceeded by this tour. The rich history, culture, the food and the beautiful people of Turkey— this is a trip not to be missed!
