Get ready to explore and enjoy two ancient enchanting cities!

In Athens we can enjoy tours of all kinds of significant ancient ruins and beautiful churches. There is an option of taking a beautiful boat ride, that includes snorkeling, with access to the famous Poseidon’s Temple on the water, as well as street food walking tours, a pottery class and a tour away from the city to smaller local villages. We can also spend slow evenings at cozy local restaurants with live music near the Aegean Coast or the awe inspiring Acropolis. 

In Istanbul we can see our choice of amazing historical Mosques and other ancient places- like the Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. We can take an evening cruise on the Bosphorus Strait  and even see the famed Whirling Dervishes. We can have a traditional Turkish tea time and stuff ourselves with baklava. Of course, we can also make time for shopping in grand markets for spices, rugs, tea sets, lanterns and jewelry among other treasures and enjoying a Turkish bath experience. 

This is a trip full of beauty, history and some of the VERY best food in the world!
