About the trip

This ambitious small-group tour with G Adventures covers Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan over 28 nights. Starting in Athens, there are guided walks including the Acropolis and an orientation through the city. The itinerary moves east to Istanbul, where the meeting point of continents can be felt in its architecture and markets. Then inland to Ephesus with its extensive Roman ruins, and Pamukkale's white travertine terraces come next.

Next, flights take you into Egypt for visits to the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and sailing the Nile on a felucca. The journey finishes in Jordan with Petra’s rock-carved façades and an overnight under the stars in a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum’s desert canyons. Along the way, local living moments and community visits add small-scale insights, distinguishing this as more than just a sightseeing trip. It’s a tour that melds well-trodden landmarks with quieter, less expected moments, conducted at a pace that allows time for reflection.
