THE AEGEAN SEA CRUISE & TURKEY

Date: 14 – 21 April 2016

Route: Istanbul – Izmir – Kusadasi – Patmos – Crete – Santorini – Athens – Mykonos – Kusadasi – Pamukkale – Bursa - Istanbul

After the cancellation of our South American trip because of Zika alert, we opted to go for the Aegean Sea cruise and Turkey tour taking the excursions to four Greek islands of Patmos, Crete, Santorini and Mykonos and explore Athens, the capital city of Greece.

After the Aegean cruise, we disembarked at Kusadasi Port in Turkey and went on a bus tour to visit several cities on the western part of Turkey and visited the many tourist attractions along the way to Istanbul.
