Remember….
This itinerary is ideal for those who want to carry on
down the Aegean and Med. coast on their own or in small
groups of friends.
All you need to do is book your coach trip down to the
coastal regions from Eceabat or Canakkale (OUR TIP: there's
more coaches to most parts of Turkey departing from Canakalle
- ferry crossing from Eceabat to Canakkale cost approx.
0.20 pence pp - ferry crossing every 30 min and lasts
for 25 min.). You don't need to worry about accommodation
for the night of the 25th April....just book your coach
to the coastal areas and sleep on the coach...you’ll
SAVE UPTO $30 per person by doing this.
Extra
night’s accommodation to suit your flight schedule.
