About the trip

This small-group tour by G Adventures delves into the history and culture of Greece and Turkey over 19 nights. It begins in Athens, where you’ll see the Acropolis and the Parthenon, and take part in a cooking class before heading to the slopes of Mount Olympus and the village life around Volos. From ancient battlefields like Thermopylae to the archaeological significance of Delphi, the route unpacks Greece’s layered past at a gentle pace.

Crossing into Turkey, the itinerary visits Istanbul’s old bazaar and sites such as the Gallipoli battlefields, Troy, and Ephesus. The surreal landscape of Cappadocia awaits with hikes among fairy chimneys and underground city exploration. An overnight train and local transport punctuate the journey, offering time to reflect on the varied scenery and layered history.

The accommodations are mostly family-run hotels with character but little else in terms of luxury. Along the way, group sizes remain small, allowing for shared experiences and conversations. It’s a measured trip, balancing popular sights with lesser-known villages without glossing over practicalities like stairs at some hotels or the occasional winding road.
