Turkey & Greece

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Turkey and Greece together offer one of the world's richest blends of ancient history, Mediterranean coastline, and vibrant culture. Greece is famous for its whitewashed Cycladic islands, crystal-clear Aegean waters, and iconic archaeological sites such as the Acropolis and Delphi, while Turkey draws travellers with the bustling bazaars of Istanbul, the otherworldly landscapes of Cappadocia, and the turquoise bays of the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Both countries are beloved for sailing and island-hopping, as well as hiking, diving, and exploring millennia of layered civilisations. The combination of warm hospitality, outstanding food, and affordable travel makes this dual-country region a favourite for independent and group travellers alike.

Self-Launched Turkey & Iconic Aegean: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Pamukkale & Greek Islands

A do-it-yourself version of Tour Altinkum Travel's 11-day "Magnificent Turkey & 3 Nights Iconic Aegean" tour: Istanbul's imperial sights, the fairy chimneys and underground cities of Cappadocia, ancient Ephesus, the travertines of Pamukkale, then a hop across the Aegean to Patmos, Crete, Santorini and Athens. Instead of private coaches, domestic flights booked with tour operators, and an all-in package, you'll use Turkey's excellent low-cost airlines, the intercity bus network, municipal ferries, and self-booked day tours (GetYourGuide/Klook/your guesthouse) — staying in well-located hostels, pensions and cave guesthouses along the way. Costs are rough backpacker estimates in GBP and exclude international flights to/from Istanbul.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Turkey & Greece 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: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
