About this trip
Eleven days across three countries built around the ancient world: Greece, Turkey and Egypt, tracing the civilisations that shaped them.
It's a partially guided trip, pitched at an easy pace, with options to extend if you want more time in any of the three countries.
Worth knowing upfront that no flights are included — you'll need to sort your own Athens to Istanbul and Istanbul to Egypt legs as part of booking.

- Well-paced itinerary covers three countries without feeling rushed; free time at each location lets you explore independently rather than being herded constantly.
