Highlights

Wander the city of Thessaloniki, loved for its food, entertainment and culture, before an evening’s meze-style dinner.

Explore the city of Xanthi and the mountainous Pomachochoria area of Greece, where you’ll be treated to home-cooked treats made by local women.

Visit Vistonida lake, known for its blue lagoon and the floating Monastery of Agios Nikolaos, where you can enjoy a boat outing on the Evros River.

Learn about the art of silk weaving in Soufli – a town the UNWTO selected as one of the best tourism villages in the world.

Discover Turkey's history, flavours and communities on a locally guided tour through Edirne and through Istanbul’s Old City and its grand buildings.

Itinerary

Journey from one ancient city to another on this nine-day overland trip across Greece to Istanbul. Discover the age-old temples of Athens, the Royal Tomb of Phillip, the Hospital Complex of Edirne and the culinary city of Thessaloniki. Along the way, make a stop at the floating monastery of Vistonida Lake, learn about silk in the shops of Soufli and meet women from the Pomak minority group, all before crossing the border to Turkey. With so much history and culture to explore, and local leaders from both nations guiding the way, you’ll get to know these two worlds in no time.
