Hi you can do one week each in Turkey and Greece . Start your trip with Turkey . Cover Istanbul , Cappadocia and Pamukkale in Turkey in a week. For travelling from one city to another either you can take flights or take night buses Then from Istanbul take a direct flight to Athens .2 night Athens , 2 night Mykonos and 3 night Santorini.From travelling from one island to another you can opt for ferries. Its a wonderful experience in itself.
Both Turkey and Greece are those destinations where you can easily find budget accomodation . Sight seeing etc is not expensive

That's a great combo and I'm doing the same trip in May! If you can push your travel dates a little further, the weather would be ideal for travel. My itinerary involves Istanbul, Capadoccia, Athens, Meteora and Santorini for 13 days and I planned everything thing on my own. If you need detailed itinerary and costs for everything, feel free to ping me.

Hi...can you pls share your detailed itenary and costing for the full trip. Would be definetly useful to plan ahead. Thanks
Day 1 Take an early morning flight . Complete your immigration and Hotel check etc. by 3 pm. Rest for a while and start exploring in the evening to the nearby your accommodation. Try the local food eg. Pide, kebap, Lahmancun. I have tried the kebap and pide not in Turkey but in Turkmenistan and they are really delicious and filling. As normally, during trips most of the time is spent outside the rooms, I suggest you not to spend more on the accommodation. If you are on a budget trip, you can have look at the below Airbnb homes. Normally they are https://www.airbnb.co.in/rooms/8114490?location=Istanbul%2C%20Turkey&adults=1&guests=1&check_in=2019-03-26&check_out=2019-03-28&s=yQeYKj9I https://www.airbnb.co.in/rooms/3846260?location=Istanbul%2C%20Turkey&adults=1&guests=1&check_in=2019-03-26&check_out=2019-03-28&s=yQeYKj9I There are many more to explore .

Take a ferry to Mykonos from Kusadasi ferry. There will be a connecting ferry not a direct one. Relax on this day as there are chances of getting sea sick after the ferry journey.
