Greece & Turkey

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Greece and Turkey together offer one of the world's most rewarding travel combinations, blending ancient history, dramatic coastlines, and vibrant culture across two continents. Greece draws visitors with its iconic island-hopping routes — from the volcanic cliffs of Santorini to the lively beaches of Mykonos and the medieval streets of Rhodes — alongside classical ruins in Athens and the rugged mountains of the mainland. Turkey complements this with the sprawling bazaars and Byzantine architecture of Istanbul, the otherworldly landscapes of Cappadocia, the turquoise Aegean coast, and Greco-Roman sites like Ephesus. Together, they attract independent travellers and groups seeking history, sailing, food, and coastline in equal measure.

Classic Mainland Greece: Athens to Istanbul — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 14-day Classic Mainland Greece run: Athens' Acropolis and a Greek cooking class, the clifftop monasteries of Meteora, Thermopylae and Ancient Delphi, the pretty Peloponnese town of Nafplio, a meze crawl through Volos and the Pelion villages, Mount Olympus and the royal tombs at Vergina, Thessaloniki's food scene, Kavala's old town — then across the border to Istanbul. You'll do it with public buses and the Greek rail network, budget guesthouses and self-booked guides rather than a private coach and a tour leader. Costs below are approximate per-person estimates for a solo traveller; booking a few things (Acropolis slot, Meteora hike, cooking class) in advance in high season is strongly advised.

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."
