ZAGREB

TRAVEL TIPS WHEN TO GO

The summer months between June and August are when Greece, Turkey and Croatia come alive.

All three capital cities can tip the thermometer over the 30 degree mark, making the Aegean, Adriatic and Ionian Seas look oh-so appealing. Follow the crowd and head to the coastal islands where the sultry daytime air is offset by cool, nightly sea breezes. A word of warning though – if you’re looking for a quiet holiday away from the crowds, this isn’t the season for you!

April to May and September to November are the most comfortable times to travel. Days are warm and less humid, nights are cool and there are fewer tourists. Sightseeing, especially walking through archaeological sites, is not too taxing during these months and you can capture the moment without capturing too many strangers in your photos!

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Winter is generally very quiet with many hotels and attractions closing between December and February. Snow falls, although rare, are not unheard of in Athens and Istanbul.

A valid passport is required with at least six months validity beyond the intended stay. A visa is not required for Greece or Croatia for stays up to 90 days. An electronic visa is required for Turkey.

Travel advice is available from the Australian Government at www.smartraveller.gov.au.

TIPPING & BARGAINING

Bargaining is acceptable and almost expected in markets in Greece and Turkey. Bargaining is not part of Croatian culture. Tipping in Croatia is expected and 10-15% in restaurants is acceptable.

In all three countries, a few dollars per day for tour guides is expected. A 5-10% in restaurants in Greece and Turkey is sufficient but check if the tip has already been included.

ETIQUETTE

Turkey is a predominantly Muslim country so male and female travellers should dress modestly. Shirts should cover the shoulders. Shorts or skirts should fall below the knees. Women must wear a headscarf when visiting mosques. Resort wear is appropriate only when on the beach or within the resort.

EXPERIENCES YOU’LL LOVE

The best part of any journey is the experiences you have along the way, leaving you with memories to relive long after the holiday is over.

The Greece, Turkey and Croatia have countless amazing things to see and do.

Here are 10 of our favourites to inspire your wanderlust.

Pula, Croatia

WINE & DINE

ANCIENT RUINS

You’ll be in foodie heaven in these three countries.

They offer a plethora of seafood, regional specialities and decadent sweets. Whether fine dining or sampling street food, one thing is for certain – wherever you go, the food will be plentiful, fresh and tasty. Greece is well known for its diet rich in seafood, olives and vegetables, while Turkey has adopted spices and techniques from Central Asia. Croatia is a pleasant mix of Italian, Hungarian and Mediterranean flavours. While chowing down, don’t forget to drink like a local, with each country boasting its own brands of beer, wine and spirits.

Greece, Turkey and Croatia share fascinating histories and a host of ancient ruins and archaeological sites. Athens is home to the famous Parthenon, Temple of Zeus and Acropolis and it’s almost impossible to walk through the city without discovering yet another archaeological site. Turkey boasts Troy as well as the remains of the Roman cities of Ephesus and Göbekli Tepe.

Croatia lays claim to the 4th century Diocletian Palace, the Pula Ampitheatre and the Euphrasian Basilica. Many sites can also be found on the Greek islands of Delos, Crete and Mykonos.

Grand Bazaar, Istanbul, Turkey

TURKEY’S GRAND BAZAAR Serious shoppers will be in proverbial heaven at Istanbul’s famous Grand Bazaar. Located in the historic section of the city, this famous tourist attraction is one of the largest of its kind in the world. It covers 30,700 square metres and comprises 4000 shops. Popular items for sale include carpets and kilims, ceramics, jewellery, textiles and glasswork. Bargaining is a must and is usually a lengthy affair. Once all shopped out, settle at one of the many teahouses inside the bazaar and watch the world go by.

HEAVENLY BEACHES

UNESCO SITES

If nothing else, the mere mention of the Mediterranean, Aegean and Adriatic Seas conjures visions of pristine beaches and deep blue and green water. Every summer tourists flock to these destinations for the ultimate flop and drop holiday.

Each country boasts their fair share of beautiful beach getaways and while the Greek Islands may snatch the lion’s share of visitors, southern Turkey and Croatia are also popular places to bask in the sun. Turkey’s hotspots include Bodrum, Fethiye and Kusadasi while Zlatni Rat and Grebisce are popular Croatian beaches.

There is no shortage of UNESCO World Heritage Listed Sites to be found in either Greece, Turkey or Croatia. Greece is home to an impressive 18 sites including the Medieval City of Rhodes, the sandstone formations of Meteora and the Old Town of Corfu. In Croatia, the walled city of Dubrovnik takes its place alongside Plitvice Lakes National Park, the City of Trogir and the Cathedral of St James. Some of Turkey’s lesser known sites include Pamukkale, Goreme National Park and the Old City of Istanbul which includes iconic buildings such as the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

FABULOUS ARCHITECTURE

CRUISING THE ADRIATIC

MAGNIFICENT METEORA

It’s difficult to visit these destinations and not be awe-struck by the fascinating examples of Roman, Greek, Byzantine and Gothic architecture. Croatia even boasts examples of the Renaissance and Baroque eras, as seen in the magnificent city of Dubrovnik. Istanbul showcases not only the famous Blue Mosque but an incredible array of palaces built during the prosperous Ottoman Empire. The unique architecture found on the Cyclades Islands in Greece are Venetian inspired and are recognisable by their whitewashed walls, cobblestone streets, windmills, churches and chapels.

Cruising Croatia’s magnificent coast is a unique way to discover the country’s magnificent islands. The famous Dalmatian coast boasts over 1000 and the best way to see them is on a mini cruiser, sailboat or yacht. Croatia’s calm, clear waters are perfect for island hopping with many itineraries taking in towns, beaches and hidden caves. Once on shore, explore historic towns on foot or by bicycle. Popular cruising destinations include Dubrovnik, Hvar, Split Korcula and Vis. Cruises can be as active or relaxing as you like and often include swimming and snorkelling stops.

Situated at the foothills of the Pindus Mountains, these impressive rock formations are home to Eastern Orthodox monasteries and are the second most important complexes in Greece after Mount Athos. The name Meteora means ‘suspended in the air’ and rose to importance in the mid 15th century. Where once the monasteries were only accessible by rope ladders, steps have now been carved into the rocks. Six of the 20 structures can be visited by tourists, although only one is allowed for women.

The monasteries are easily accessible from the town of Kalambaka.

ISLAND HOPPING IN GREECE

BALLOONING OVER CAPPADOCIA

Greece’s fabulous islands all offer a unique experience, from rest and relaxation to all night partying and many feature historical and archaeological sites. Accessing these islands is a breeze, with ferry services connecting many of the islands within their main group.

Island groups include the Cyclades, Ionian and Dodecanese Islands, among others. Since almost all ferries conveniently depart from Piraeus, just outside of Athens, island hopping is a must for any Greek holiday itinerary.

Take off at sunrise and experience the most popular hot air balloon ride in the world. Drift over fairy chimneys and vineyards. Dip down into apricot orchards and rise and fall over valleys laced with pigeon houses. Even the sight of hundreds of multi-coloured balloons is something to behold. Trips operate year round as the landscape is breathtaking no matter the time of year. Even the snowy, winter landscape is breathtaking from above! Expect the flight to last around 90 blissful minutes.

Qatar has long been the crossroad of trade routes lining Asian and the Mediterranean and lately, its reputation as the ‘new Dubai’ has placed it squarely on the forefront of Middle Eastern tourism.

GREECE With an ancient culture that significantly influenced the arts, language and philosophy, there is an abundance of things to see and do in this intriguing country. Friendly and passionate, the Greeks are always welcoming. Wherever you go in Greece, expect to be greeted like a long-lost friend.

CYCLADES & DODECANESE GREEK ISLANDS

Many of the islands are accessible by ferry from the Port of Piraeus (Athens) and cater to just about every budget.

Whether looking for a party, romance or an authentic taste of Greece, no trip is complete without a visit to one or more of the islands.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES

CAPITAL CITY

GREEK EATS

ATHENS

CAFÉS, BARS, TAVERNAS

The heart of Greece is a cosmopolitan capital, combining the old and new.

Archaeological sites scattered throughout the city sit alongside brand new cultural centres and buildings. Locals and tourists alike linger over coffee at the Plaka and watch the world go by at Syntagma Square.

There is no shortage of great food and drink available in Greece. From the booming coffee scene to low key tavernas, Greek food is plentiful, fresh and tasty. Make sure to chow down on souvlaki, moussaka, olives and seafood, all washed down with ouzo, metaxa or retsina.

FESTIVALS

ATHENS & ISLANDS

NATIONWIDE

THE GREEK ISLANDS

This country is teeming with archaeological sites and centuries-old ruins. The majority of the famous sites such as the Parthenon, Temple of Zeus and the Herodian Theatre are located in Athens but historical sites can literally be found throughout the entire country.

Festivals dominate the Greek year, with the biggest being Greek Easter – a week long celebration. Try to include the Hellenic Festival into your summer itinerary, when the Theatre of Epidavros and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus host the cultural events right in the centre of Athens.

It’s practically unheard of to visit Greece without including some serious beach time.

The Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean Seas provide the ideal flop and drop destinations with postcard scenery and warm, blue waters. Try Shipwreck Beach in Zakynthos or Balos Beach in Crete.

MUSEUMS

HANDICRAFTS & SOUVENIRS

ACROPOLIS

ATHENS & GREEK ISLANDS Delve into Greece’s fascinating history by visiting its many museums, including the National Archaeological Museum, the Acropolis Museum and the Byzantine and Christian Museum, all located in Athens.

Many islands such as Mykonos, Crete and Rhodes have small but interesting museums.

ATHENS & SANTORINI

Browse the Plaka for souvenirs and make sure to visit the Monastiraki Flea Market for leather, jewellery and antiques. Santorini is brimming with boutiques for unique and one-of-a-kind clothing. Coffee, wine and olive oil are also worth putting on your shopping list.

ATHENS

This ancient citadel sits high above Athens and can be seen from virtually every corner of the city. Accessing the site is a pleasant walk from the Plaka and Monastiraki and rewards with incredible views of the Parthenon – once considered the world’s most perfect building.

THE GREEK ISLANDS

Greece’s many islands dot the Ionian, Cretean and Aegean Seas and offer a wide variety of geographies and experiences.

Most feature iconic white-washed buildings complemented with blue or yellow painted windows, with sprays of bougainvillea adding splashes of pink and purple. Narrow cobblestone streets wind through the tiny villages, while the main port towns are lined with traditional fishing boats and tavernas. The holiday season for the Greek Islands is April to October, with the peak being July and August.

Outside these months, some properties, restaurants and other facilities close down and there are reduced ferry services. We recommend you check with your travel agent for the island and holiday season that best suits your needs.

Santorini, in the Aegean Sea, is by far the most popular of the Greek Islands. This volcanic island is famous for its blue and white buildings, picturesque hilltop villages and incredible sunsets. Mykonos, with its iconic, hilltop windmills, oozes glamour mixed with simplicity and offers more of a party atmosphere while Paros is quieter and more laid back. Crete, the largest of the islands, is both a holiday-maker’s and historian’s delight.

CRUISING THE GREEK ISLANDS FERRY TRANSFERS

The Greek Islands are perfection. The sun-kissed outcrops of dramatic rocks, glimmering sea, whitewashed houses, golden beaches together with great nightlife and lazy days make the Greek Islands irresistible.

The most popular means to travel between the Greek Islands is by local ferry. Take in the spectacular scenery and crystal clear waters of the Greek Islands as you transfer from Athens to some of most idyllic island holiday destinations.

Ferries depart from Piraeus, Athens and there are also many inter-island services. Some are provided by high speed ferries and several such as Piraeus to Crete, operate overnight. Many ferries offer air-conditioned lounges, airplane-style seating, bars and snacks for purchase.

REGIONAL AIRPORT ATTRACTION

TURKEY Etched in history and full of cultural and gastronomical delights, Turkey is without doubt a captivating and diverse country.

Ancient ruins, Ottoman architecture and dazzling mosques are scattered across the vast mainland from Europe to Asia while in the south, a seductive coastline awaits, full of tantalising islands, beaches and resort hideaways.

EPHESUS KUSADASI

CAFÉS, BARS, STREET FOOD

TURKISH DELIGHTS

CARPETS & KILIMS

The ancient Roman city of Ephesus was built in the 2nd century BC and was once the fourth largest city in the eastern Empire.

Notable buildings include the Artemesium, Cottage of the Virgin Mary, Library of Celsus and the medical school. Occasionally the site hosts events such as operas and orchestras.

Foodies will revel in culinary treats including gozleme, kebabs and borek while the sweetest tooth will be sated with Turkish delight and baclava. Turkish food is regional, so expect unique dishes wherever you travel. Wash it down with a local Efes Pilsner or the national drink, raki.

Lose yourself in the many carpet, kilim and textile shops found throughout Turkey.

The colours alone are enough to entice you through the front door. Carpet shopping is a process, so be prepared to sit, chat and drink tea as you negotiate a price. Be warned! It’s hard to stop at one!

RAMADAN

MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK

ARCHITECTURE

The holy month of Ramadan is the most spiritual period for Muslims and is dedicated to fasting, worship and spiritual reflection.

In 2020, Ramadan falls between 24 April and 23 May, followed by a three day national holiday, with most businesses closing for the first day.

Just about everything in Turkey bears the name and image of Ataturk, the ‘Father of Modern Turkey’. He rose to prominence during the Gallipoli campaign and today, his mausoleum and dedicated museum can be found in the country’s capital of Ankara and delivers a fascinating insight into this life.

Turkey’s history is revealed in its surviving structures, reflecting Ottoman, Byzantine and Roman influences, to name a few.

The Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia Topkapi Palace and the Ishak Palace are testament to the many former empires’ love of beautiful buildings.

WHIRLING DERVISHES

GALLIPOLI

NATIONWIDE

KONYA

Turkey is home to the Whirling Dervishes whose unique religious dance has been performed since the 14th century. Clad in white robes, full skirts and conical hats, this mesmerising spinning dance originated in the city of Konya, but can be seen all over Turkey.

ANKARA

CANAKKALE

An important former battlefield and military campaign for the Australians, New Zealanders and Turks, this tiny piece of peninsula is a beautifully maintained memorial to the fallen soldiers of all three countries. It’s now protected as a Turkish National Park.

GRAND BAZAAR

ISTANBUL

CAPPADOCIA

GOREME & KAYSERI The alien-like landscape of Cappadocia is dotted with rock formations called ‘fairy chimneys’ while its valleys are filled with fruit orchards. Hotels, homes, churches and castles have been carved from these chimneys and into the sides of mountains making unique cave-like buildings.

CROATIA With its stunning lakes, sparkling Adriatic coastline and medieval architecture, it’s easy to see why Croatia’s popularity as a tourist destination grows steadily each year. While the inland capital of Zagreb boasts a host of museums, cafés and stunning Austro-Hungarian architecture, it’s the coastal towns of Dubrovnik and Split that capture the lion’s share of visitors.

NATIONAL PARKS PLITVICE, KRKA, MJET

Croatia boasts stunning national parks that complement many island-based itineraries.

The most visited of the parks are Krka and Plitvice, both famous for their stunning lakes and waterfalls and perfect for a day of walking or hiking. Mjet National Park is a favourite among adventure seekers.

DELECTABLE FARE

CAFÉS, BARS, STREET FOOD Food lovers will relish local, regional specialities based on Italian, Turkish, Hungarian and Mediterranean influences.

Try burek, black risotto, Pag lamb and cheese. Satisfy sweet cravings with strudels, doughnuts, buttery biscuits and cream filled pastries.

HISTORIC TOWNS ADRIATIC COAST

Head to the Adriatic coast to take full advantage of Croatia’s historic towns including Dubrovnik (also known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’), Trogir, Hvar and Spilt. Fortified walls, marble palaces and medieval architecture create a sense of stepping into a magical time trap.

ADRIATIC ISLANDS

PULA AMPHITHEATRE PULA

THE NATION'S CAPITAL

Many of Croatia’s 1000 islands are easy to reach and are all unique. Hvar is known for its luxury and nightlife and Mljet for peace and tranquillity. Vis boasts a thriving food scene, while the beautiful island of Korcula boasts an historic, medieval town, secluded beaches and serene swathes of nature.

This 2000 year old Roman amphitheatre once hosted gladiatorial contests and attracted crowds of up to 20,000 people.

Constructed during the 1st century, it's one of the best preserved of its kind. Today, this near intact stadium hosts the annual Pula Film Festival, live shows, and opera.

The Croatian capital city is small, but worth a visit. Head to the main sightseeing part of the city, known as the Upper Town. Here, discover the Church of St. Mark, Lotrscak Tower, Zagreb Cathedral and the Museum of Broken Relationships. When the sun goes down, head to the popular Tkalciceva Street.

BEACHES

TV LOCATIONS

VIS, KORCULA, MJET

FESTIVALS

NATIONWIDE Croatia hosts an impressive array of festivals, from more serious events in Zagreb, to whimsical and fun summer festivals along the Adriatic coast. These include film festivals, DJs, beach parties, folk fairs and religious festivals.

ISLANDS & COASTLINE With over 1000 islands and almost 4000 kilometres of island coastline, there is no shortage of beaches in Croatia. The majority are pebbled and pleasantly devoid of development. The most popular is Zlatni Rat on the island of Brac.

ZAGREB

VIS & SPLIT

Croatia has provided a spectacular backdrop for several television shows and Hollywood movies. Game of Thrones was filmed in Split and Dubrovnik while the musical Mama Mia 2 was filmed on the island of Vis.

Declared a monument of culture in 1963, it boasts a majestic harbour, a romantic old town and incredible seafood restaurants.

At a tiny 88 square kilometres, the town can be easily visited in a day, with short cruises to nearby islands the perfect way to fill up extra days.

DO

• Wander the town’s narrow, winding streets and discover ancient alleyways, tiny cafés and charming shops
