Hey, Greek here! I have a guide about which island to visit, when and why and some other posts (incl one for off the beaten path Athens!) Feel free to have a look and let me know any questions! https://www.myshoesabroad.com/category/greece/

Instead of flying from Turkey to Athens and then take a ferry you could consider to pick an island close to the Turkish cost (f.e. Rhodes or Samos) and take a ferry from there. And end your trip in Athens. I am not sure if international border crossing is possible everywhere though and it would depend on your nationality as well of course. I travelled with young kids in both Turkey and Greece and its easy. It is HOT though, make sure you even put sunscreen on their heads under their hair. And lot’s of shadow breaks. Have a siesta as Dinnertime is late.

In Turkey, you can fly cheap btw istanbul and cappadocia. But a word of caution: Turkey is gonna be so hot in July. It is great for seaside trip but istanbul and Cappadocia will be excruciatingly hot. I don’t know about the current situation now but when I lived there AC wasn’t that common

I agree about the heat. It’s a shame you can’t go Sept instead as all 3 countries would be ideal for everyone.
Egypt is not really the place to go for a 1 yr old in July / Aug as the temp can get really hot 🥵 and you’re covering a lot of travel miles whilst trying to keep kids entertained. I’d want another holiday for myself after this!Drink lots of room temperature water as chilled water gives you stomach cramps.
There’s loads to do in Istanbul.
I always fly Turkish airlines as I just love trekking around Turkey. Cappadocia is fantastic. The hot air balloons are great - but not in really hot weather. Look into open jaw tickets so you can book your flights in sequence from different locations.
I flew to Istanbul and onto Kayseri airport for Cappadocia. You can book the train back to Istanbul which is great. I then flew to Thessaloniki went around northern Greece and to the island of Thassos and then travelled into Bulgaria before flying home from Sofia. Depending on where you are from you dictates how easy it is to move between these countries. I’ve got a contact in Istanbul if you want a female guide. Eating is easy in Greece. Western Turkey is like Greece but if you order vegetable soup it usually has had a sheep’s head in the stock. The further east you go in Turkey the more meat they eat and then the further south you go the hotter the dishes. Egypt is a lot of kebabs or just veggie pizza. Send us some pictures x
