Hot Air Balloon Over Cappadocia
Soar over intriguing mountain ranges, valleys and obelisks carved from erosion along with a rainbow of other balloons that dot the morning sky.
Atmospheric Athens
Steeped in history, mythology and character from the ancient ruins of the Acropolis to the street art and lively open air restaurants, it’s one for the list!

Pick your vantage point for the Santorini sunsets, that special time of day when the sky turns pink and the whitewashed buildings follow suit.
The Monasteries of Meteora
Perched atop sandstone peaks are a collection of monasteries crafted between the 14th and 16th centuries by determined monks who called the area home. Once 24-strong, there are still six monasteries in operation.

“Wonders of Turkey”
Susan & Jose - NSW, Australia Oct 2019
Thanks Yvonne for doing the booking for us with Insight, it was not really easy to get triple room accommodation... also for assuring me that Turkey is considerably safe to travel. This Turkey trip was the best Insight tour we have been on, good value for money as it’s almost all inclusive except for one optional tour. All sightseeing to famous sights was free or included and almost all dinners except for two were provided as well. The trip itinerary was very good, you cannot ask for more. The best
...read more treat was having our own boat for the Bosphorus cruise, we felt pampered! I suppose it’s because we had the best tour director with Daghan, who had the best sense of humour... we were lucky too with our group as all were easy going and funny... The best time to visit Turkey is during fall when weather is mild. Summer is simply too hot and busy to do all the walking and sightseeing....

“Best time of our lives! ”
Xavier - NSW, Australia Oct 2019
This was our 3rd Cosmos Trip and more to come in the future! Very organised and no stress, hassle free tour with lots to see in Greece and the Islands plus Ephesus in Turkey! It was made a lot easier and cheaper for me by booking with Yvonne from Global Journeys. You will save money booking with this company instead of booking direct plus it's hassle free and communication is excellent as Yvonne always replies promptly with any queries and also is a very professional person to deal with, no complaint
...read more at all but only compliments. The tour itself is everyone's bucket list as it will take you back in time if you are interested in history and archaeology, 100% satisfied! Will definitely use Cosmos and Global Journeys again.
“Greece & Aegean Cruise ”
WENG - VIC, Australia Sep 2019
Good mix of land tour & cruise of Greek islands but too many free days e.g. 1st day is nothing but optional cruise of 3 islands near Athens. After one week of land tour, we returned to Athens for another full day of nothing. Last day after the outer island cruise we again returned to Athens for another day of nothing. So basically 3 full days of nothing.
