Pre- or post-trip extensions

On this adventure, you have the following extensions to choose from:

Cappadocia's Unique Landscapes & Vibrant Ankara

5 nights Pre-trip

Delve into Turkey's ancient civilizations as you journey from Ankara—legendary birthplace of King Midas and summer retreat of Roman emperors—to the fantastical landscapes of Cappadocia.

Ancient Greece: Athens & the Isle of Crete

6 nights Post-trip

Visit iconic sites like the Acropolis in Athens and explore Crete—Greece’s largest and most populated island—whose roots date back to one of Europe’s earliest documented civilization: the Minoans.

Arrive Early

Expand your discoveries by spending one, two, three—or more—days abroad in the first destination on your pre-trip extension or main adventure. By arriving early, you’re able to rest after your long flight and acclimate to your new destination and time zone—or you can hit the ground running and explore on your own.

Choosing this option lets you take advantage of our lower group rates and includes your accommodations, private airport transfer, and daily breakfast. On this adventure, you can choose from the following options:

  • Arrive early in Ankara before your Turkey pre-trip extension — Travel from $150 per room per night
  • Arrive early in Istanbul before your main adventure — Travel from $230 per room per night
Arrive Early

Combined adventures

If you’re already overseas, why not see more of the world and maximize your value by avoiding the expense and length of another international flight? Combine this adventure with Crossroads of the Adriatic: Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Slovenia—a total cost of $9,690-$1,3490 per person—for a savings of $900-$1,400 per person (depending on departure dates) compared to taking each trip separately. Additional benefits include:

  • Apply the 5% or 6% Frequent Traveler Credit you will earn on your first trip towards your second trip. Plus, Sir Edmund Hillary Club travelers save an extra $250-$350 per person when reserving multiple trips in a calendar year
  • Our Regional Adventure Counselors will work with you to make all necessary arrangements for a seamless experience

Air preferences

See some of the ways that 54% of O.A.T. travelers are personalizing their air itineraries on this adventure:

  • Choose your departure city, airline carrier, and preferred routing

  • Depart from one city and return to another

  • Upgrade your seat to Premium Economy or Business Class for a more relaxing experience to and from your adventure. Each airline has its own unique upgrade features, but here are the common perks associated with each class: Premium Economy normally features a larger seat, more leg room, and priority boarding, and Business Class features a smaller number of travelers in this section of the plane, a larger seat that can recline, more leg room, and priority boarding. Many travelers choose to upgrade their seat en route to the first destination on their adventure to arrive more rested and ready to explore—you can choose to upgrade for your roundtrip flight, or just one-way.

Freedom of choice during your adventure

We’ve carefully crafted this itinerary to provide a balance of included activities and free time, so you always have the flexibility to participate in included activities, go off on your own entirely, or do a mix of both. Whether it's on your optional extension or main itinerary, your Trip Experience Leader is available to help you pursue your own personal interests, and will help you with transportation, tickets, or anything else you need.

The choice is yours
