Tour overview

Discover the heart of three cultures on this TravelShopBooking 10-Day Turkey, Bulgaria & Greece Combined Tour, designed for travelers seeking history, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable experiences.

Start your journey in Istanbul, where East meets West. Wander through the historic Hippodrome, marvel at the architectural splendor of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and cruise the iconic Bosphorus Strait.

Venture into Bulgaria, exploring Plovdiv’s ancient Roman ruins and Sofia’s majestic Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Visit the UNESCO-listed Rila Monastery, an exquisite example of Eastern Orthodox architecture. Savor Bulgarian wines in the picturesque town of Melnik before continuing to Greece.

In Thessaloniki, uncover Byzantine treasures before traveling to Athens via historic Vergina and Thermopylae. End your adventure with the wonders of classical Athens—stroll the Acropolis, admire the Parthenon, and soak in the charm of Plaka.

This guided journey blends rich history, vibrant culture, and local flavors, offering the perfect balance of sightseeing and free time.
