Turkey, Greece Vacation Review: Istanbul, Athens, Cappadocia, 16-Day Trip

We would do a few more things on our own to have more flexibility in exploring and reducing costs.

We would spend more time at Delphi. It felt rushed with the guide and we would have loved to spend more time at the museum.

We would get recommendations on points of interest and things to do in the city on our own ahead of time. For example, we decided to visit the National Archeological Museum on our last day in Athens to make up for not having enough time in Delphi. It was a treasure. Having a list to choose from ahead of time would be great.

Since we are foodies, we would seek recommendations on places to taste the local fare. As an example, we ate at the hotel in Cappadocia on our first night. It was great, but quite pricey comparatively. The next day our guide took us to a local place. It was fantastic, at a third of the price. I wish we had had time to visit more local dives.
