<p>The <strong>combined Turkey and Greece trip in Spanish</strong> brings two cradles of civilisation into one route: the Istanbul of two continents, the Cappadocia of valleys, classical Ephesus and, across the Aegean, the Greek islands and Athens. We run it as a <strong>local operator in Turkey</strong> (TÜRSAB licence <strong>A-9759</strong>), with a <strong>Spanish-speaking guide in both countries</strong>, the <strong>Istanbul–Athens flight included</strong> and private transfers, so you are never left alone at an airport. Price <strong>transparent and with no hidden fees</strong> (from 1,280 USD per person) and tailor-made departures in 2026.</p>
<h2>Itinerary: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, a Greek islands cruise and Athens</h2>
<p>This <strong>Turkey and Greece trip</strong> covers the essentials of both countries:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Istanbul:</strong> Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı, the Grand Bazaar and the Bosphorus.</li>
<li><strong>Cappadocia:</strong> the valleys, the underground cities and the option to fly in a balloon.</li>
<li><strong>Ephesus / Kuşadası:</strong> the Greco-Roman city of Ephesus and the Aegean coast.</li>
<li><strong>Greek islands cruise:</strong> sailing the Aegean towards emblematic islands (the exact ports are confirmed according to the cruise line and season).</li>
<li><strong>Athens:</strong> the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the historic Plaka district.</li>
</ul>
<p>As it is a tailor-made trip, we adjust the days at each destination to your preferences.</p>
<h2>The Istanbul–Athens flight: how we connect it</h2>
<p>The hop between the two countries is by plane: the <strong>Istanbul–Athens flight</strong> takes just over an hour (around 1h10–1h30) and we handle it, with airport transfers and reception at destination included. Unlike agencies that leave you "on your own" on this leg, here you have Spanish-speaking assistance from start to finish: nobody is left alone between flights.</p>
<h2>What the Greek islands cruise includes</h2>
<p>The <strong>Greek islands cruise</strong> is one of the highlights of the trip: you sail the Aegean and visit island ports with time to stroll, swim and discover postcard-white villages. The cruise type (one day or several nights), the specific islands and the meal plan depend on the cruise line and the season, so we confirm the exact details when preparing your quote. The key point: it is built into the trip, with no need to book it separately.</p>
<h2>What is included and what is NOT</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Included:</strong> the Istanbul–Athens flight, the internal flights in Turkey, private transfers, accommodation with breakfast, the Spanish-speaking guide in Turkey and Greece and the itinerary visits.</li>
<li><strong>Not included:</strong> the international arrival and departure flights, the balloon flight in Cappadocia (optional), some meals, optional cruise fees and tips.</li>
</ul>
<p>We detail in writing the exact content according to the chosen cruise option, with no surprise charges.</p>
<h2>Why a Spanish-speaking guide in Turkey and in Greece</h2>
<p>The great advantage of this combination is the <strong>continuity of Spanish-speaking service in both countries</strong>. In Turkey we are the local operator; in Greece we work with a trusted partner and a Spanish-speaking guide. So you understand what you see at Ephesus and on the Acropolis, and you always have someone to ask in your language, instead of following loose audio guides.</p>
<h2>Best time for Turkey and Greece</h2>
<p>The <strong>best time to travel to Turkey and Greece</strong> together is spring (April-June) and early autumn (September-October): pleasant temperatures for walking the ruins and a mild sea for the islands cruise. Summer is hotter and busier, especially in the Greek islands.</p>
<h2>Private vs group</h2>
<p>You can do this <strong>Turkey and Greece trip privately</strong> —with your own guide, pace and dates— or in a cheaper departure with other people. In the private version you decide the days at each destination and the hotel level; we explain both options so you choose the one that best fits your budget.</p>
<h2>How to book with a local Turkish operator (TÜRSAB A-9759)</h2>
<p>Booking is <strong>with no payment in advance</strong>: you tell us your dates, the number of people and the cruise type you prefer, we confirm availability and give you a <strong>closed price</strong> with what is and is not included in writing. As a <strong>local operator with TÜRSAB licence A-9759</strong>, your booking is backed by an agency registered in Turkey and you deal in Spanish directly with whoever organises the trip.</p>
