I'm doing a low budget, backpack type trip for a honeymoon, and would love to see both Italy and Istanbul in the same trip. I heard there is a boat from Bari, Italy to somewhere in Greece, and then a 21 hour train ride from there to Istanbul. I need to know more details, though, and any other possibilities. Any help is appreciated.
Answer on How do I get from Italy to Istanbul fastest and easiest?
in defense of the ground travel, it would be romantic...
i did both italy and turkey for a vacation once but i did fly-- it is cheap and i had limited time.
i hope that you have time to see lots of Turkey outside of just Istanbul-- i only went for a week and it wasn't nearly enough time.
