Beautiful overview of the country. Learned so much, enjoyed so much! Carla Costa, our tour leader, made it most memorable with her broad knowledge and winning personality. She encouraged a great group of people that turned into good friends quickly. The sites were gorgeous, too!

Essential Turkey was a great tour. Started in Istanbul, a fascinating
City. Got to see a lot of the famous ancient sites on our trip. Relaxed in a small town on the Mediterranean and experienced a balloon ride over the amazing landscape of Cappadocia . The tour is jam packed! Great group of people which totally added to the trip.

Walking the Mountains and Villages of Evia’. ✨I found the tour charming and well organized, particularly due to the efforts of our guide, Thanos. The scenery was inspiring, as was the mix of history and nature served up by our fine guide. I knew I was in for something special when Thanos began plucking pomegranates along the path, breaking and sharing them with each traveler. For me our hikes were occasionally challenging, but in a very good way where I felt accomplished at the end of each day. Our hotel had everything we needed; clean, comfortable, well located and with beautiful bay views. The hotel staff and restaurant service were uniformly friendly and helpful, as was transportation timely and safe. I particularly enjoyed meeting and sharing the experiences with the other members of our small group. By day we enjoyed delightful local pastries and sandwiches. During the evenings we were lavished with appetizing meals and wines in the Karystos area. Our guide couldn’t have been more attentive to our individual needs. A vacation both adventurous and relaxing.
