Greece & Turkey

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Greece and Turkey together offer one of the world's great travel combinations, bridging Europe and Asia across the Aegean Sea. Greece draws visitors with its ancient ruins, whitewashed island villages, turquoise waters, and legendary sites like the Acropolis in Athens and the caldera of Santorini. Turkey complements this with the bustling bazaars and Ottoman architecture of Istanbul, the otherworldly landscapes of Cappadocia, and the turquoise coast's gulet sailing routes. Together, the two countries attract history lovers, island hoppers, foodies, and adventure travellers looking to explore two distinct but deeply interconnected cultures.

Greece & Turkey: Athens to Istanbul Adventure (Self-Launched)

A 7-day self-launched version of G Adventures' Athens–Istanbul route: Thermopylae, Volos and the Pelion villages, Mount Olympus, Vergina's royal tombs, Thessaloniki, Kavala and finally Istanbul. You'll do it on Greek intercity buses and trains plus a Turkish cross-border bus, staying in hostels/guesthouses and picking up locally-run half-day tours and food walks where they add value. Same sights, no private vehicle or group leader — expect to spend roughly a third of the tour price.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Greece & Turkey yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
