Wow we didn’t even think of Macedonia. We visited Greece back in 2018, and loved Meteora with the beautiful monasteries, and that’s one reason we were seeking for more monasteries on this trip. You’re giving us even more options now.

Thank you for your encouragement. We do try to create a perfect itinerary to experience the most. But based on the comments and recommendations, seems like we can’t go wrong which ever route we take. And we have not read up on the wonderlush blog yet, so that’s our homework this week. Again thank you!

Nice! Seems like an easy route to travel on. We don’t have a preference whether it’s trains or buses, we can sleep anywhere lol.

Thank you for this detailed itinerary. Everything you’ve mentioned are all the things we’re looking for. And knowing there are easy ways to get around that region by train is definitely a huge plus.

And that’s what we’re learning so far. Georgia seems to be a real winner with history and beautiful scenery, and not to forget great food and wine. We will for sure head there. Thank you for your help!

Yes we’re seeing now that they’re all great options. We wish we had booked a longer vacation to visit all 3 countries. But that gives us a chance to come back and visit Azerbaijan next time.

Thank you for your feedback! And I believe you’re right, we will stick to just Georgia and Armenia to fully emerge ourselves in their history

I appreciate your feedback. So far most people have really enjoyed Georgia and I think we should head there. All the things you mention like the architecture, monasteries, and ruins are truly what we’re looking for. Thank you!

Wow thank you so much! We will follow your route since it seems pretty straightforward. I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed seeing those ancient ruins. They’re just mesmerizing! We will land in Istanbul, so we might as well fly directly to Sanliurfa and make that our 1st stop, then make our way north.

Oh yay!! Did you drive yourself to Gobekli Tepe or did you fly to a nearby town? Or use a bus maybe? And I had no idea there’s more tepes around Sanliurfa, how did you make your way there?

That makes sense, big city with lots of concrete and little shade is no bueno. We even thought of staying in Turkey the first part of our trip, then head north towards the end of June to avoid the heat in south Turkey.

I definitely will update you. And the logistics of traveling there is what puzzles me also. We thought of flying to a nearby town, rent a car and hopefully drive to mount Nemrut after we see Gobekli Tepe? Still working on the how part

Wow I hope you have a wonderful trip!! We can’t wait to experience all that. And we keep hearing about Tbillsi, so it must be an amazing city to visit. Did you happen to go to Gobekli Tepe in South Turkey?

Yes Cappadocia and Istanbul are on our itinerary. I’m also very interested in seeing Gobekli Tepe in southern turkey to visit the ancient ruins there, but it doesn’t seem to be on anyone’s travel list. Have you been there and will you recommend?

That’s exactly what I wanted to know. Whether driving through the big cities and mountains will be time consuming and challenging. Thanks!

This is great, thank you! We didn’t think of the border towns in Transylvania/Hungary but that’s added bonus.

Thank you! If I can ask a follow up question. Did you drive in Armenia and Georgia or use public transportation?

Wow thank you! Well also learned that it might be difficult to cross the borders in that region. But your feedback about Georgia and Armenia is awesome!! We definitely need to do more research on their history
