Best of Turkey and Greece with island hopping

Really enjoyed the trip! Would give 4.5 stars if I could. Everything was very well put together and coordinated. I think the only thing that would’ve been nice is knowing ahead of time that some of the location specific people preferred speaking Spanish (wouldve practiced more before I went). And receiving some of the transportation information more ahead of time (pickup times etc) Other than that everything was great!

• In-depth Cultural

The Great Odyssey

Unforgettable trip. Amazing!

Magnificent Turkey&3 Nights Iconic Aegean - 11 Days

Turkey is a fabulous country with wonderful and friendly people. The Tour company did an outstanding job of coordination and communication. The Turkey tour with the cruise of the Greek islands was quite pleasant. However, I would strongly recommend NOT going to Santorini. We arrived rather late and it was dark. Then we got off the bus and were herded up a narrow path into the village. It was embarrassing to be a part of the crowd. Had I known this, I would have stayed on the ship to relax.

Best of Greece (Idyllic, With 7 Days Cruise, 16 Days)

Colours of Mediterranean Tour

Kismet from Fez Travel was brilliant and was responded with any questions super quick. Some of the accommodation was a bit far away from the action. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Overall a great trip with only 11 travelers which was perfect.

Turkish Breeze & 4 Nights Iconic Aegeans - 14 Days

This tour was contracted to smaller day tours. The overall tour company was very responsive and set daily updates for where to meet and when and all transportation was covered. Accommodation was great, although it would have been nice to stay in the old town walls of Antalya. The cruise, while highly organised, was probably a bit too big and very rushed. All your guides had impeccable knowledge of their field and were very friendly. Sometimes the daily itinerary didn’t quite match up to the order listed but all sights were still seen. There were some extra ticket costs not mentioned in the itinerary - usually a few extra hundred lira. Some excursions also had visits to trade centers - carpets, jewelers, leather works, ceramics - and while interesting there often felt pressure to buy.

Highlights of Turkey & the Greek Islands

Classic Turkey & Greek Islands

This was a great trip. We had someone to help us every step of the way and excellent tour guides! These are also such fun, beautiful locations!

Istanbul to Athens - 14 days

Turkey guide, Bhuran Coskun, was fabulous. Greece reps were also very good.

Italy & Greece with Iconic Aegean Islands Cruise

Our tour guide, Margarita, was sent good and patient, as was Paul, who was on the cruise. Most of the other guides were outstanding, as well. I definitely recommend eating at the hotel in Rome, the food there was better than any of the restaurants in town. Some of the hotels needed some upgrades, but were clean. The experience was amazing and very well planned. I highly recommend this trip!!

Classical Greece with Iconic Aegean 4-Night Cruise

Greece & Aegean Islands Cruise

Good tour. Hotels in the center but some old. A lot of different cities. Cruse ship is not new and around 1,500 people but service was great. I don't recommend any paid excursions on islands

Classical Greece with Iconic Aegean 3-Night Cruise

Tour was good to excellent. Evie and Christiania were excellent without a doubt. Drivers Dian excellent job also.

Aegean Odyssey Tour

What people love about greece and turkey tours.

Overall the tour was great!. The transportation through out the tour was excellent. Pick up and drop off was always on time. Turkey trip would have been much better with a different guide. Our guide (OZ) was seemed disinterested through out the whole process. We had to google everything. Hotels in Turkey were good except cave hotel in Cappadocia (Not worth the upgrade). We were put in a room across the street from main hotel. The door to the room was covered in vomit. We told the reception and expected it to be cleaned but when we came back in evening it was still there. Very disappointing and disgusting since we paid extra for this hotel. Also the hotels that we had in Turkey and Greece were further away from the city center and required lots of walking or some kind of transportation. Some areas were not safe to walk at night. The hotels should be close city center. Greece over all was good but we should have been given an option to take flight from island to island because we wasted almost 2 days in Ferry. Our Liaison Jenny in Mykonos was very organized and gave us options and advise. While that was not the case in Samos and Santorini.

We first time booked this tour through TourRadar and we really enjoyed it. It covers best locations in both countries. We had some doubts at the beginning because it seems a complicated trip but it went very smoothly till the end. Turkey part is fully escorted while during island hopping in Greece you are traveling privately. It is a well balanced trip, fast pace at the beginning in Turkey and relaxing in Greece. Hotels are well chosen except for Mykonos hotel which was on top of a hill. We appreciate a lot the assistance Alex provided us during whole-trip. He answered all of our stupid questions. Thank you again and we will probably travel again with Eskapas.

It was built between 1356 and 1363 by Sultan Hassan then we will enjoy a walk in Moez street starting form Bab el Fetouh and we will end our Adventure in Khan El Khalili Bazaar. A labyrinth of narrow streets and passageways, Khan el-Khalili is one of the world’s largest bazaars and offers a truly authentic local Cairo experience.

Starts: 8:30am End: 3:30pm Inclusions: private transportation, private guide

Day 18 Luxor Embark on Nile Cruise

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel then we'll explore the magnificent Karnak Temple, which is perhaps the most impressive of all the ancient pharaohs' monumental works. One of the world's most celebrated temple complexes, Karnak was built over some 200 years and was once known as the 'Chosen of Places'. Your guided tour of this vast temple of impressive pylons, obelisks and chapels will reveal its finest sections, such as the Avenue of Sphinxes and the Great Temple of Amun.

Then it’s time to embark on your luxury Nile cruise that will be home for the next 4 nights. You’ll cruise between Luxor and Aswan on this elegant ship, with all the comforts you would expect from a 5-star floating hotel.

Please note that since the sailing distance between Luxor and Aswan is approximately 200kms, that it is typical for all cruises operated along the Nile to be docked for majority of the time to conduct sightseeing, with the sailing to occur of an evening. The vessel will be docked either in Luxor or Aswan. Depending on the time of year and number of vessels operating at the same time, you will also find that all vessels are docked beside one another, which is beyond our control.

To ensure that our customers have appropriate expectations prior to their journey, it is important not to compare this experience to that of a European River Cruise, which tend to cover a greater distance and on larger vessels. Instead, you will experience a Deluxe stay on-board your vessel, offering a great chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the banks of the Nile while you sit back and relax. Your cruise schedule will be provided once on-board.

Situated on the East Bank of the Nile River, in the city of Luxor, Luxor Temple was built approximately 1400 BC. The site is over 73 sq km and exhibits obelisks, giant statues, an Avenue of Sphinx statues, the Grand colonnade and the Barque Shrine of Theban Triad. Viewing is as majestic at night as it is during the day.

Start: 4:00pm End: 6:00pm Inclusions: return transfers to temple, entrance into Luxor Temple

Day 19 Luxor Valley of the Kings Luxor Edfu

Today we'll discover some of the many wonders of ancient Thebes. Our first stop is the Colossi of Memnon – two 17-metre-high statues on Luxor's west bank. Carved from granite blocks, they represent the Pharaoh Amenhotep III and were once part of an impressive colonnade.

Continue on to the spectacular royal burial site of the Valley of the Kings. Buried under the arid hills here are the tombs of more than 60 pharaohs, many richly decorated with reliefs and paintings. Explore this sprawling and spectacular place with your guide, where the pharaohs of the New Kingdom (16th to 11th century BCE) were secretly interred for all eternity, and where archaeological discoveries are still being made. Your guide will explain the history of and legends surrounding these remarkable people, their funerary rites, and the significance of the many paintings and hieroglyphics, still well-preserved in the deepest tombs.

After paying a visit to three of the most interesting royal tombs we'll continue to the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a stunning colonnaded building of sharp lines that contrasts beautifully against the craggy high cliffs behind it, creating a spectacular natural amphitheatre. One of Egypt’s greatest queens, this temple was built to prove her importance among the ancestors.

Enjoy lunch upon your return to the boat. There is time to relax on deck, or in your cabin, before we set sail for Edfu. Generally the journey from Luxor to Edfu takes place between 1pm an 11 pm, though the departure time may vary, depending on river traffic. En route to Edfu we pass through the Esna Lock and head upstream.

Edfu Temple Please note: The only mode of transport available to visit the Temple of Edfu is by locally managed horse and carriages. As a responsible travel-focused business, animal welfare is extremely important to us and we want to ensure that we are not promoting any activities where the working animals are not properly cared for. Unfortunately, some operators of the Horse and Carriages have been found to be in breach of our animal welfare guidelines and it is, for this reason, we will no longer include the visit to the Temple of Edfu.

In addition to the animal welfare concerns, we have had a substantial amount of feedback suggesting that the experience itself is quite uncomfortable due to the pushy nature of the vendors and local suppliers outside the site. While we recommend that you do not use the horse and carriage to visit the Temple, the decision is ultimately up to you. Edfu is an included port stop on the Nile River cruise schedule.

Day 20 Edfu Kom Ombo Aswan

Today we will moor near Edfu – home to ancient settlements and temples, as well as a bustling town centre and a bazaar.

Later we'll return to the boat where we’ll continue travelling upriver, with plenty of free time for relaxing on the sundeck and taking in the surrounding sights – from fishermen casting nets and farmers working their land to the desert hills that frame the lush riverbanks.

This afternoon we'll arrive at Kom Ombo Temple. Set dramatically on the bank of the Nile, 47 kilometres north of Aswan and 168 kilometres south of Luxor, the soaring, chunky columns of the double temple are a magnificent sight to behold as you arrive from the river.

Dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroeris, the temple's finely carved reliefs give a sense of this area's prominence as capital over the surrounding region during the Ptolemaic era. Today, Kom Ombo may be a sleepy agricultural backwater surrounded by sugar cane fields, but its prime position along the Nile meant it was once one of Upper Egypt's most important centres. Wander through the temple's colonnades, gazing up at scenes of kingly propaganda, and you'll get a sense of this rich history for yourself.

Return to the cruise boat where you’ll continue travelling upriver towards Aswan.

Please note: the only mode of transport available to visit the Temple of Edfu is by locally managed horses and carriages. As a business that seeks to promote responsible travel, animal welfare is extremely important to us at Inspiring Vacations, and unfortunately, some operators of the horse and carriages have been found to be in breach of our animal welfare guidelines. It is for this reason we do not include the visit the Edfu Temple. While we recommend that you do not use the horse and carriage to visit the Temple, the decision is ultimately up to you and your guide can help arrange transport and ensure the best horses are used.

Day 21 Aswan Abu Simbel Aswan

Today you will awake before sunrise for an early morning start. Sit back and relax as you drive to the ancient Abu Simbel temples, near the southern Egyptian border. You will have an early arrival into Abu Simbel to view one of the most incredible sights you will see. The two enormous sandstone structures were built in the 1200s BCE by Ramses II to serve as lasting monuments to himself and his favourite wife Nefertari. The larger temple, dedicated to three major Egyptian deities, features four large statues of Ramses II on its façade, while the smaller temple is dedicated to the goddess of love, Hathor, with statues designed to embody Nefertari.

Set on the banks of the artificial Lake Nasser, the structures were once in danger of being flooded with the construction of the Aswan High Dam but were saved via an extensive project to cut the temples into pieces and move them to higher ground, where they are seen today.

On our return to Aswan the rest of the day is free for you to make your own discoveries.

This afternoon, we'll enjoy a sailboat ride around the Nile River islands in a traditional felucca (a small, traditional Egyptian sailboat).

Philae Temple is situated on an island just south of Aswan. It was built by the last dynasty of ancient Egypt, the Ptolemaic. The temple is dedicated to Isis - the goddess of healing, magic and birth, her husband Osiris and their son Horus.

Take a 20-minute drive from Aswan to the dock, where you will embark on a 20-minute boat ride to Agilkia Island, where the Philae Temple complex is located. You will have approximately 2 hours exploring the island and temple before returning to Aswan by boat and road vehicle. 

Start: pending Cairo to Aswan flight  Duration: 3 hours Inclusions: return transportation (boat and road vehicle) from Aswan to Agilkia Island, entrance into Philae Temple complex

Day 22 Aswan Cairo

Today we will leave Aswan and make the short flight back to Cairo. On our return to Cairo enjoy your free time relaxing or doing some last-minute sightseeing.

Sit down for a home-cooked meal with a local family. During this experience, you'll get to visit a local family and learn about Middle Eastern traditions, Egyptian culture and tasty food but most importantly, enjoy a delicious and authentic home cooked meal.

Start: confirmed on tour Duration: 3 hours Inclusions: return transportation, home cooked meal

Once I get my head cleared from the travel home I will write a letter of recommendation for you to have on file for further client possibilities.Thanks again, Richard and Linda.
