London to Symi via Istanbul
Hi, complete newbie here so apologies if this has been exhaustively covered!
Im planning a solo trip to the Greek island of Symi in Oct via Istanbul on my T7. My first solo longish trip. Im planning about 7 days travel time so initially a long day through France and then scope for interesting routes. Im planning to pick up accommodation as I go, (probably not camping) to keep it flexible. Any advice on great routes to Istanbul, Balkan countries must sees and (any to be wary), places to stay ( istanbul) Garmin XT or iPhone Google maps? Insurance and breakdown cover, essential kit. I'm 64, fairly fit but won't be doing any off road or trails this time! mostly looking for great scenic roads and interesting towns and culture.
Thanks in advance.
