Tour · 15 nights · with Just You
A 15-night escorted tour by Just You through classical Greece and Turkiye, tracing ancient sites from the Acropolis to Troy and Istanbul with a country-town pace rather than a dash.
Highlights
The Acropolis and ParthenonWith views over Athens
Meteora monasteries perched on rock pillars
The Eupalinos Tunnel on Samos island
Ancient city of Ephesus in Selcuk
Ruins of Troy and its museum
This small-group tour by Just You begins in Athens with a visit to the Acropolis and its museum, where a glass floor reveals ruins beneath your feet. Heading north, the towering rock pillars of Meteora host centuries-old monasteries with Byzantine frescoes that reflect a quieter side of Greek history. The route continues through places of legend including Delphi’s Temple of Apollo and Mycenae’s Lion Gate, before a coastal pause in the laid-back town of Nafpaktos.
Journeys
A short internal flight leads to Samos, where the 6th-century BC Eupalinos Tunnel draws particular admiration for its engineering. The tour then crosses to Turkiye’s Aegean coast with a ferry ride to Kusadasi and a stroll around the extraordinary marble streets of Ephesus. The itinerary unfolds further with visits to Troy, Turkish weaving traditions, and the World War I battlefields of Gallipoli.
The final stop is Istanbul, where Byzantine and Ottoman histories meet in Sultanahmet’s Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, alongside the sensory overload of the Grand Bazaar. With free time to roam and optional tours including the Bosphorus, the trip ends with a farewell meal in the Kumkapi district, a fitting close to a journey that takes its time as much as its sights seriously.
