From the splendid mergers of Eastern and Western cultures to an 8-day Turkey Greece tour, this journey takes one right through the heart of two of the world’s most historically vibrant cities: Istanbul and Athens. This Turkey Greece tour package is a rare opportunity for an introduction to some timeless wonders of the ancient world while enjoying every modern comfort today.
Discover the Rich Heritage of Istanbul and Athens on Your Turkey Greece Tour Package
Your Turkey Greece tour packaage begins in Istanbul, situated between two continents, bringing together an interesting blend of cultures, traditions, and history. Istanbul is a city of contrasts where ancient and modern blend in perfect harmony with one another. The Hagia Sophia is one of those places that will surely be the highlight of your Turkey Greece tour: an architectural treasure from Byzantium, having served first as a cathedral, later as a mosque, and presently functioning as a museum. The iconic structure, with its sheer scale and beauty, simply takes one’s breath away; hence, it is impossible to visit this structure while on a Turkey Greece tour in Istanbul.
The second architectural gem is the Blue Mosque; which has six minarets, with an interior of more than 20,000 handmade ceramic tiles adorning its walls. The mosque is not only a place of worship but also a symbol of the city’s rich Islamic heritage. Only a short walk away, the Grand Bazaar bursts with an overdose of sights, sounds, and scents that fill the senses. A shopper’s dream with its more than 4,000 shops selling spices, textiles, jewelry, and antiques, among other things, the bazaar acts almost as a living testament to the thriving commercial life in Istanbul.
Topkapi Palace is highly recommended for those interested in the city’s imperial history. The extensive complex served as a residence of Ottoman sultans for nearly four centuries and contains a real treasure collection, including the most famous Topkapi Dagger and Spoonmaker’s Diamond. You will be able to feel the greatness and complexity of the Ottoman Empire while touring its luxurious rooms and spacious gardens during your Turkey Greece tour.
No round of visits to Istanbul on a Turkey Greece tour package would be complete without the Bosphorus narrow strait that separates Europe and Asia. A cruise along the Bosphorus offers stunning views of Istanbul’s skyline dotted by the minarets of mosques, domes of palaces, and modern towers that define this dynamic city. You will be struck by the peculiar energy of a city that has served for millennia as a crossroads of civilizations as you cruise against shores lined with historic mansions and palaces.
Athens: The Cradle of Western Civilization
From the wonders of Istanbul, your Turkey Greece tour package will take you to the city of Athens, steeped in history and myth. Athens is, for good reasons, called the cradle of the Western world. It is a city carrying at its heart the most important archaeological sites in the world; at the top among these is the Acropolis. In the center of the Acropolis lies the Parthenon, the temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. It is a monument standing tall as a kind of signature to the architectural and cultural glories of Ancient Greece.
It is like taking a tour through time when one visits the Acropolis Museum, which has an extensive collection showing the life of ancient Athens-from the statues of gods and goddesses down to the household items used by Athenians-to enable one to get a complete overview of life in one of the most influential cities in history. The ancient Agora, which formed the heart of public life in Athens, is another must-see site during your Turkey Greece tour. You can retrace the steps of Socrates and Plato here, as they must have debated philosophy and politics across these very streets.
But Athens is not just about ancient history. The city pulses with the beat of a modern metropolis, its old mixed with new in a deliriously dynamic combination. Take a walk around the Plaka- the labyrinth of small streets lined up with neoclassical buildings, traditional tavernas, and modern boutiques. You may dine at any of the sidewalk cafes, feasting on Greek dishes- moussaka and souvlaki, seafood fresh from the sea, washed down with a glass of ouzo, or a glass of local wine during your Turkey Greece tour.
Take a day trip to Delphi, an ancient sanctuary once considered to be the center of the world, and get a feel for Greece’s rich history and culture. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Delphi offers stunning views with the opportunity to explore the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, where an oracle once gave prophecies to both kings and people. The museum on the site houses some of the finest products of ancient Greek art, including the famous bronze Charioteer, one of a few surviving statues from the early Classical period. A visit to Delphi is a highlight of any Turkey Greece tour.
