Travel from Budapest to Istanbul on a small-group adventure through Romania and Bulgaria into Turkey, blending orientation walks, guided visits, scenic hikes, and authentic local experiences across castles, ancient ruins, and Cappadocia’s landscapes. Stay in small, family-run hotels or pensions, with start and finish nights often in larger city hotels. Facilities vary; some properties may lack elevators, air-conditioning, or English-speaking staff. All are locally run with traditional character and excellent central locations, offering clean, safe, simple rooms. Fans provided on hot nights.
