About the trip

This small-group tour by G Adventures offers a detailed itinerary through Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, unfolding over 20 days. Starting in Budapest, the grand façades and sweeping views of the Danube prepare you for the contrasts ahead. Moving on to Transylvania, the so-called 'Dracula's Castle' at Bran stands as a reminder of history weighted with legend. Crossing Bulgaria and Romania, your walk through Sofia and the villages around Sighisoara will offer a grounded sense of everyday life alongside relics of the past.

In Turkey, the ancient cities of Troy and Ephesus reveal millennia of history beneath the Mediterranean sun, while the surreal "fairy chimneys" of Cappadocia invite you to traverse unusual rock formations and discover subterranean cities. Evenings might include a home-cooked meal with a local family or tasting local wines, allowing for moments beyond the typical itinerary. The tour is led by a G Adventures CEO, providing orientation and ease of travel through a well-paced experience that steers clear of rush and fanfare.
