Best Of Greece And Turkey With 2-day Cruise (small Group)

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.

Every detail, from timing to location choices, was set up so we could experience Greece and Turkey beyond the postcard moments.

I found unique items in both countries and tried some unforgettable street food. The guide Ozgır was kind and knowledagble.

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.

This tour is perfect for anyone who wants a bit of everything: history, culture, relaxation, and amazing food. I appreciated the pace, as there was enough time to visit major landmarks without feeling rushed. The guides and drivers made sure everything went according to plan and that we had all the support we needed. By the end of the tour, I felt I’d experienced the best of both countries and am already considering returning in the future.

Experiencing Pamukkale and Cappadocia was like stepping into another world. The unique rock formations and hot springs of Pamukkale, combined with Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys and vast open landscapes, made each stop feel surreal. Greece added a whole other layer with its incredible music and delicious dishes—I couldn’t get enough of the traditional flavors. As for Athens, it stood out as my favorite city. There’s something magical about being surrounded by so much history and culture. Thanks to the team for this unforgettable journey.

There are so many positives to mention about this tour, but for me, the itinerary tops the list. Exploring these beautiful, almost paradise-like places felt rejuvenating, making it as relaxing as it was enriching.

A heartfelt thank you for a well-organized, memorable tour. Each stop was thoughtfully planned, and I felt cared for every step of the way. Truly grateful for this wonderful experience!

I was truly amazed by the size and comfort of the cruise ship—it was luxurious yet incredibly relaxing. This was my first cruise experience, and those unforgettable three days were certainly the highlight for me. Eskapas took care of everything, allowing us to enjoy each moment without any worries, knowing support was always close by if needed. I made some great friends within our group, and we discovered amazing places together. The guides were both professional and friendly. What more could I ask for!

This tour kept us on our toes in the best way possible! From historical tours to breathtaking natural sights and even local workshops, there was always something fresh and exciting to experience. It’s hard to pick a favorite when each day brought something new, but it was that mix of history, culture, and adventure that made this trip so memorable. The whole journey felt well-paced without a dull moment, perfect for anyone who likes to stay engaged and soak in as much as possible. Hats off to the organizers!

Spanning 16 days and packed with an amazing itinerary, this tour was an experience to remember. Traveling with a fun-loving group made it even better! I especially loved tasting Greek olive oil dishes and indulging in Turkish kebabs, both cuisines were fantastic. I know for sure I’ll be back to visit these two beautiful countries in the future.

My favorite was exploring local markets in Athens and Istanbul, and learning to bargain like a local! The guides were part storytellers, part local friends, and there was always some surprising little gem they’d throw in a local legend, a hidden spot

Our guide Stelio managed to make our group feel like a mini family. We even shared an impromptu traditional dance lesson one evening! The tour hit a fantastic balance between must-see locations and relaxed downtime.

Each day was filled with unique moments, but my highlight was definitely cruising into Mykonos at sunset. The accommodations were comfortable, except for the one in Athens. The rooms were small.

Our guide Dimitris, was punctual and friendly. I’d recommend this to anyone

The tour had a busy schedule, yet everything went smoothly with no issues in accommodations. The hotels were comfortable, and the entire program was well-managed. In Cappadocia, we explored remarkable sites like the Goreme Open Air Museum, Uchisar Village, and the unique fairy chimneys. We even visited workshops for carpets and onyx stones, adding a special local touch to the experience. Overall, it was a well-organized and satisfying tour.

The tour was organized perfectly from start to finish. The guides were friendly and deeply knowledgeable, especially Despina in Greece. She really brought the ancient sites to life with her storytelling. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The hotels we stayed at in Turkey were fantastic—spacious, comfortable rooms and exceptionally clean. Turkish hospitality also left a wonderful impression on us, with everyone going out of their way to make sure we felt at home. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to Turkey. In Greece, the hotels and service, while not quite up to Turkey’s level, were still very good, with no complaints to note. Both countries are full of history and natural beauty, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food in both places. I can easily recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

This was my first time with Eskapas, and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m so glad I went with them. The itinerary was well-balanced, allowing us to explore a lot without feeling overwhelmed. I especially enjoyed Cappadocia and the hot air balloon experience, so peaceful and surreal. Everything from the pickup service to the guidance provided on-site made it an easygoing trip. I’d definitely choose Eskapas again!

The hotels were centrally located, clean, and comfortable, making it easy to explore each area during free time. The food was also fantastic, with Turkish cuisine offering such a rich variety of flavors. Among all the places we visited, Pamukkale left the biggest impression—it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before and truly one of a kind. Overall, the tour was smooth and thoroughly enjoyable with no complaints!

The people of Greece and Turkey felt so similar, both in their warm-hearted nature and even in their looks. Both countries also share a rich history and stunning natural beauty. Out of all the breathtaking spots, I especially loved Pamukkale, Cappadocia, and Mykonos. Huge thanks to the dedicated Eskapas team for making this tour truly unforgettable.

Both countries offer an incredible number of places to explore, and it’s hard not to be amazed by the depth of history you encounter. If you're a history enthusiast like me, this tour is a must. The guides are true experts, with detailed knowledge of their regions and a real gift for storytelling. Our Greek guide, Despina, was exceptional, and I want to give her a special thanks for her insights and passion.

We had such a great time with this trip ! Everything went very smoothly and eskapas was constantly communicating with us through whatsapp which made us feel comfortable. Our tour guides in both greece (Aris) and in Turkey (Nadir) were phenomenal, they were very professional and knowledgable. Hotels were clean and comfortable and their locations were also very good. We enjoyed every moment of our trip, thank you for everything.

Great tour! We were met at the airport and taken to a very nice hotel. The local partner ensured that we had information for our organized tours. We particularly enjoyed Celestyal cruise between memorable islands. Cappadocia was amazing. Wonderful guides. Very enjoyable trip.

The Greece and Turkey Trip with a cruise was exceptional! We were led by the best tour leaders/guides (Nadir in Turkey and Aris in Greece) who had the utmost concern for our safety and enjoyment. The itinerary was well planned with a good balance of activities as well as spare time. Until Turkey part the tour was almost independent. Hotel in Athens was excellent and located very close to Plaka. Transfers and flights were on time. When you arrive to Ankara , you are joining a fully escorted group. Hotels in Turkey are good but the dinners are weak at the hotels. We recommend you to upgrade in Cappadocia to a Cave Hotel. And have a dinner in Urgop town. Top notch! The tour has a reasonable price also. I recommend

We absolutely loved this tour! Everything was top notch! We saw so much of Greece and Turkey. The Greek islands were fabulous, Cruise ship Celestyal was wonderful , the weather couldn't have been better. The guides in Athens and Turkey were very professional we learnt a lot and the best thing about the trip we have been always supported via WhatsApp by Eskapas company from the beginning to the end. We liked this follow-up. Hotel in Athens was 3*** but it was pretty well located in Plaka! In Turkey we had 4 and 5-star hotels. Wi-fi in the bus. We loved Turkish food. It is a vegetarian heaven. We loved every minute! Thanks again. Suzy

I booked my honeymoon in Greece and Turkey and it was a fantastic experience! All the hotels, guides, and activities they recommended were excellent! Also, having all the internal transportation taken care of removes a lot of the trip's stress and makes it much more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Top notch service. Great tour guides, lovely hotels, friendly chauffeurs, seamless transfers and amazing cruise. I loved my solo trip to Greece and Turkey. And the price was incredibly reasonable

We did a two week tour of Turkey and Greece. Everything went incredibly smooth down to every detail. The company is incredibly responsive to your needs and questions. The tour sizes in Turkey were small and the guides excellent. The accomodations were always in great parts of the city. In Athens to your size was large and not as enjoyable as Turkey. The cruise ship was crowded but we enjoyed it. Highly recommend. Great service. Wonderful price.

An absolutely fabulous vacation.
