Best Of Turkey And Greece With 3-night Cruise (small Group)

Turkey: 5/5 Our experience was made better by our tour guide, Nadir. His knowledge of the country is exceptional. He also ensured that we have the best time (which we did) - he provided us with something to read/watch/listen to during the long bus rides and an option to see a Turkish dance. We also had interesting stops and comfort breaks. His hospitality makes me wish we had him as our tour guide for the entire trip. We saw and experienced so much in a span of 8 days in Turkey. From taking the cruise in Bosphorus to riding the hot air balloon in Cappadocia and seeing the remains of one of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the world. The only caveat is that we had one hotel in which there was no WiFi and the amenities aren't the best. Some stops didn't have the best food choices. Greece: 4/5 First part of the trip was a cruise around the Greek Islands. The cruise experience was great, however, the stops felt rushed because we didn't purchase excursions from the ship which made us the last ones to leave, giving us a little time to explore. We were not given a heads-up on the cruise experience so we navigated it ourselves. In Athens, the local tour company that was a partner of our agency forgot to pick us up for the half-day city tour. There was a miscommunication in instructions but fortunately, it was resolved, after a few phone calls and being passed around. This made us miss some of the stops before going to the Acropolis. We had so much time in Athens and I felt like the tour wasn't planned well. The trip to Cape Sounion (we have to ask for a partner local tour company) can be done after the half-day city tour in Athens and then we could have a free day. Instead, it was broken down into two days. The people that were assigned to us weren't friendly as well. Despite the issues, it was resolved and the trip went well.

Perfect tour!! The itineraries are all educational. Nadir, our tour guide did a very good job. This tour is highly recommended.

I am not normally a tour person, normally I travel solo. I found this tour to be excellent. It was very well organized with lots of diversity. Most tours are only on a bus. On this tour we travelled by plane, boat, and van. We saw a lot in the 15 days, but I never felt hurried or that I was missing out on something. In addition to the planned activities, we had a good amount of free time as well. This tour also included the entrances to all the monuments and museums that we visited, which made it even more of a good value. The hotels were outstanding. We stayed mostly in 4 or 5-star hotels with one 3 star. (That one, in Bursa, was not as good as the others) Our guide was amazing. He knew everything. He shared lots of information with us, not only about where we were but the culture, the people, as well as the history. Don't hesitate, this tour is wonderful.

We chose Eskapas for the second time and we are not disappointed All transfers, ferries and accommodation organized well without problems and people were very helpful by giving us good information. The transfers were on time and were waiting us according to the schedule. Hotels were comfortable with good breakfast. The guides were knowledgeable The islands were amazing, with nice beaches and good for relaxing. But our favorite was Crete. Nice atmosphere. Celestyal cruise ship!!! Good mix of relaxation and things to do All in all, everything was organized very professionally. So efficient. Very glad I chose Eskapas

I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for organizing such a wonderful holiday for us. It went like clockwork. Guides, buses were always on time, hotels were great and there was no stress at any stage of our travels. Thank you again for the professional service you gave us, we are very grateful. The trip with the cruise was beautiful!
