USD 3,888 per person for two countries in one trip. Four days in Greece and eight in Turkey, with the Athens to Istanbul flight already booked so you are not arranging the middle yourself.
Greece gives you the Acropolis on the first day, then Delphi, which the ancient Greeks called the navel of the world, and Meteora, where Byzantine monasteries sit on top of rock pillars rising straight out of the Thessaly plain. Turkey is the longer half. Istanbul with the Blue Mosque and a private Bosphorus cruise, Ephesus, the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, and four days later Cappadocia with its underground city and its valleys of carved rock.
Almost every meal is included, 4 star hotels in Greece and 5 star in Turkey throughout. This is a long trip with a lot of road between stops, and it runs on a seat in coach basis, so read the itinerary properly before you commit.

The package is USD 3,888. On top of that you should budget the airline tax of around USD 185, the Philippine travel tax of USD 30, your Schengen visa at around PHP 13,000, and EUR 60 in tips. If you want the Cappadocia balloon and the other optional activities, add up to EUR 295. We would rather you saw all of that before you book than after.
Yes, a Schengen visa for the Greek leg, around PHP 13,000, and you apply for it yourself. Start early. Appointment slots are the bottleneck and this is the single most common reason a European trip falls apart. Turkey is handled separately and we will advise based on your passport.
Yes. The one way domestic flight is part of the package, so the middle of the trip is arranged for you.
It means you travel with other guests on a shared coach rather than a private vehicle, and the order of attractions can be adjusted if a group is large or a site is crowded. The stops themselves do not change.
No. The Cappadocia balloon ride is optional, offered on Day 10, and paid on site in Euro cash. It runs at sunrise, so it means an early start. Taken with the other optional activities the total is up to EUR 295 per person.
A leather outlet with a fashion show, a textile outlet, a carpet weaving centre, a jewellery centre and a pottery house. These are standard on Turkey coach tours and we list them here so they are not a surprise. Nothing is compulsory.
USD 3,888 for a child aged 7 to 12 sharing a bed, the same as an adult. USD 3,488 for a child aged 2 to 6 without a bed.
