Greece & Turkey: Athens, Greek Islands Cruise & Istanbul

Details
Time to see if my wanderers would be interested in this very special tour of Greece and Turkey which even includes a 4 day cruise of the Islands of Greece and the early Christian settlements of Turkey. As you know my tours are small and private (only open to our meetup group). I need a minimum of 14 members to have a private tour. If you definitely would like to join this tour then send me a deposit of $300. Once we have a minimum of 14 travelers I will launch our tour and you will be able to sign up with our tour company. If we never reach the 14 travelers for the private tour I will refund your $300. There is absolutely no risk!

If you want a single room on the tour you need to sign up asap. As always, there is a limited amount available.

Please feel free to email me with any questions. I'd be happy to chat also. My email is mlabbancz@gmail.com

The Athenians and the Ottomans. The Spartans and the Seljuks. Over the centuries, Greece and Turkey have indelibly influenced world history and culture. This 15-day tour introduces you to their biggest hits and hidden highlights—from Athens to Istanbul over the Aegean’s blue waves. Cruise from the Greek capital to the Turkish coast via the islands of Mykonos, Santorini, and Rhodes. Spend some time in beautifully preserved Ephesus before finishing with the bookends of the Ottoman Empire: its first and final capitals of Bursa and Istanbul. Want to add more landscapes to all that art and architecture? There is also an extension to the breath taking Cappadocia that includes airfare.

The tour includes a 4 day cruise of the Aegean making daily stops at Mykonos, Santorini, and Rhodes. Sounds like a dream bucket list tour. I checked out the cruise ship and it looks great. The ship is the Gemini VS. If you click on it's name in the link you can view all the many activities on the ship. Looks like great fun. Here is a link to the cruise ship: Gemini VS

HOW TO SIGN UP?

TRAVEL WITH FRIENDS AND FINDING A ROOMMATE:
It's always more fun when we know the people we are traveling with. For those in New Jersey we will have meetups every 4 months at restaurants prior to our trip (exclusive to our travelers) so members can get to know one another. I think it's one of the very special benefits of a meetup travel tour. It will also be an opportunity for you to meet other travelers who are traveling single and might want to share a room. It's a wonderful way to find that perfect roommate! On all my past tours, everyone who wanted a roommate found a roommate!

WHY AM I ON THE WAITING LIST?
Everyone who signs up for the tour will be first put on the waiting list. As soon as you send me your deposit I will switch you to going. There is a limited amount of spots available on this small group tour and being on the waiting list does not guarantee a spot. Please only join the wait list if you are planning on leaving a deposit in the next day or two. Don't join the wait list because you think it sounds like a fun trip you will NOT be doing. Single Rooms!!!! If you want a single room on the tour you need to sign up asap. As always, there is a limited amount available.
