Packed into 4 days was a wonderful trip that captured the essence of ancient Greece outside of Athens. Being able to see the site of the first Olympics and to learn about the Oracle at Delphi were highlights!
The 'Istanbul, Ephesus, Pamukkale & Cappadocia Tour' invites you on an eight-day, easy-paced art and architecture journey crafted with seniors in mind. Stroll Istanbul’s vibrant boulevards, pausing to appreciate the iconic Blue Mosque and historic neighborhoods. Witness the dazzling white pools of Pamukkale and explore Ephesus’ legendary ruins. In Cappadocia, discover the Goreme open-air museum and take in sweeping valley views from Uchisar rock castle. What makes this trip stand out is its seamless blend of Turkey’s architectural marvels and natural wonders, all delivered with comfort and a relaxed tempo ideal for mature travelers.
I knew from the description that it would be a fast paced trip and that we would sleep in a different place each night and that’s exactly what I wanted = an overview so I could see whether I wanted to go back anywhere. If you’re like me, who enjoys going out for dinner and drinks each night, you would be very tired at the end of trip. However, many chose to stay in and go to bed and I believe for them the trip was not tiring, even for the older ones. Morning starts are reasonable - we left at 8am each day. Simon was a fabulous tour guide and the local guides were all wonderful. Do take small euro bills = you definitely need them. (also take coins for toilet stops). Definitely have a revolut, or similar, card. The optional activities, whilst nice,, are highly, highly over-priced, shame on the travel specialist! One thing I missed, was more. recommendations to authentic local food with local prices. All in all, a fabulous trip and I’m so glad I did it. I will use this agency again for their professionalism.

More time is needed in Acropolis Delphi and Dion,
the museum of the Acropolis was not on the itinerary which is a shame
especially that there was not free time to see it by ourself
