WHAT IS INCLUDED IN PRICE:
ALL ACCOMODATION:
Mostly we will be staying in twin rooms, occasionally triple rooms. At some places you will have double or queen bed for yourself.
We paid special attention that all of you will have enough rest time and be comfortable, so that we will have fresh energy boost for all our adventures.
Hotels that we will stay in varies in styles. Our great priority was locations that were close to places of our interest and comfort as voyage of our caravan is long.
In big cities we will stay in old city centres, in Cappadocia in fabulous Cave hotels.
In Sanliurfa, charming traditional Turkish style hotels, in Pamukkale, modern thermal hotel.
On island of Crete we will stay in charming, colourful town Rethymno in modern hotel close to the beach.
In Santorini, lovely hotel close to Fira.
In Athens, we choose the most beautiful neighbourhood Plaka, full of restaurants and shops with walking distance to major attraction Acropolis.
In Meteora, accomodations are close to the beautiful, mystical rock formations that we will visit.
If you would like single room, let me know, 5 rooms are available.
FOOD:
- All breakfasts are included.
- 3 dinners, welcome and farewell diner in Istanbul and Athens local restaurants and dinner at Pamukkale Thermal hotel are included.
- We decided we will not take many half – board arrangements this time for various reasons.
- Food in Turkey and Greece is delicious, restaurants are charming, lots of quality street food available. There is abundance for every diet. At some places we may enjoy dinners together as a group, some other times you may want to enjoy the dinner with group of your favourite people on tour.
- And sometimes you will maybe want to enjoy your own tranquillity and capacity to just be and enjoy people and scenery around you. I know I love that when I am traveling so I can “feel and soak the vibe”of the amazing new places, people , food and surroundings.
Cost of good meal in Turkey and Greece goes from 10 – 30 euros, so maybe 500 euros extra money for food on the whole trip is needed if your habit is to eat one big meal a day beside breakfast.
Breakfast in Turkey and Greece are rich and colourful so we will be well nourished and full of energy to start our day.

ENTRY FEES:

We also managed to find a great solution to avoid crowd and long waiting in line for the tickets in Istanbul. We will use ‘Skip the line’ ticket that will allow us to see more attractions so we can save some of our precious time. It is a lot to see in Istanbul.
