Trip Report: 2 weeks in Greece and Turkey! Hey, everyone!
My husband, Ryan, and I returned this past Tuesday from a wonderful two-week trip to Greece and Turkey. Following is our trip report - I hope you enjoy it, and I'll be happy to answer any questions! Pre-Trip Stuff I have been semi-obsessed with Turkey for a few years now. Between reading several fiction books based in Turkey and lots of good trip reports here, I felt like Turkey would be a great destination for us. We've been to Western Europe many times, and Turkey seemed to meet our interests, while also being a little bit more challenging than vacations we've taken in the past. Convincing Ryan to go to Turkey wasn't hard, especially when I mentioned that it would be pretty easy to tag on some time in Greece as well.
We have been exceptionally lucky with cashing in Delta frequent flier miles - in fact, we've now made four trips to Europe almost entirely with miles. I mentioned on another post how we managed to vastly improve our itinerary. That's enough pre-trip info. Blog.

In Two Weeks in Greece at Frommer. Two weeks allows time to take in the must-see ancient monuments in Athens and also get a good taste of island life.
Though touring the islands can be require a bit of work and some logistics, we’ve tried to minimize the wear and tear. From the must-see ancient monuments (the Acropolis in Athens, the stadium in Olympia, and the site of the Delphic Oracle on the slopes of Mount Parnassus) to the famous isles (Mykonos, with its snow-white houses and trendy all-night bars, and volcanic Santorini, with its amazing harbor and sheer cliffs) to less famous places that not all visitors know about when they come to Greece (but fall in love with when they discover them)—we're going to show you how to see all this—and also keep some time for discoveries of your own.
Day 1: Athens Start your first day in Greece with the landmark you can’t go home without seeing: the Acropolis. Day 2: Athens Day 3: Crete You’ll dock in Iraklion early in the morning—too early to do much but enjoy a coffee.
