We believe, people travel not only to see the sights but also to experience the new unknowns – perhaps to experience the riches of a country and a culture; that it pushes us to experience a new world as we turn from familiar to unfamiliar. ‘The Catterfly’ experience is like an affair that never really ends.

Quintessential Switzerland ❤️

There's something truly magical about Switzerland, where every corner feels like a postcard come to life. From the snow-kissed Alps to the crystal-clear lakes, it’s a landscape that feels both serene and awe-inspiring. Strolling through charming towns like Lucerne, Basel, and Lausanne or hiking through the majestic valleys of Valais, every experience is steeped in nature’s beauty and cultural richness.

Switzerland offers something for every season—summer’s lush greenery and endless lakes contrast with winter’s blanket of snow that turns the mountains into a winter wonderland. Whether you're enjoying a tranquil boat ride on Lake Geneva, exploring the historic streets of Basel, or feeling the cool mountain breeze in Ticino, Switzerland captures the heart in a way few places can.

Here’s to the wanderlust that leads us to such breathtaking destinations and to memories that last a lifetime. ✨

Istanbul is a culinary paradise where East meets West, offering a feast for the senses at every turn. From sizzling street food to exquisite dining experiences, here’s your ultimate guide to the must-try dishes and hidden gems that will elevate your taste buds!

First up is the iconic kebab. For an unforgettable experience, head to Zübeyir Ocakbaşı in Taksim, renowned for its charcoal-grilled kebabs. The smoky flavor and tender meat will have you coming back for seconds.

Next, you have to dive into the world of mezze. A visit to Karaköy Lokantası is a must for a modern take on traditional Turkish cuisine. This stylish eatery serves up delightful mezze platters, perfect for sharing. Indulge in a variety of small plates, including creamy hummus, smoky baba ganoush, and crispy fritters.

While wandering the streets, grab a warm simit from a vendor in Besiktas. These sesame-covered bagels are a popular snack for locals and are best enjoyed fresh. You can savor it on its own or pair it with cheese and olives for a tasty breakfast!

And let’s not forget about authentic Turkish delight. For a truly local experience, visit Çınaraltı Lokantası in Çamlıca. This cozy spot serves up delightful Turkish coffee alongside their sweet treats. Make sure to try the pistachio and rosewater flavors—perfectly chewy and utterly delicious! 🌹

As for hidden gems, Karaköy Güllüoğlu is a must for authentic baklava. The secret? Their syrup is lighter, making it less cloyingly sweet and perfectly balanced. If you're looking for something unique, check out Mendel's, tucked away in Galata, where you can savor some of the best Manti (Turkish dumplings) in the city. Served with yogurt and garlic sauce, they are the ultimate comfort food!

Bringing home a handwoven Turkish carpet is like owning a piece of art steeped in history and craftsmanship. Here are the top spots to find stunning, handwoven masterpieces—and a few negotiation tips to get the best deal!
Cappadocia (Near Derinkuyu): Head to Göreme and Ürgüp for family-run shops showcasing Cappadocian and Anatolian carpets. Many offer weaving demos so you can see the craft up close.
Kaleiçi, Antalya: Wander through Kaleiçi Old Town’s cobblestone streets, where cozy shops sell vintage kilims and modern designs. Expect a warm welcome and tea while you shop!
Grand Bazaar, Istanbul: With over 4,000 stalls, the Grand Bazaar is a treasure trove of carpets. You’ll find everything from affordable kilims to luxurious silk rugs. Take your time and explore!
Remember, carpet shopping isn’t a quick transaction—it’s a cultural experience. Don’t rush! Sit down, have a cup of tea (or three), and let the shopkeeper show you multiple options. They’ll appreciate your interest, and it gives you time to gauge the quality and craftsmanship. Begin your offer at around 60-70% of the asking price and be respectful—haggling is part of the culture! Don't forget to inquire about shipping options if your chosen piece is too large to carry.

Here's what you should know before visiting Pamukkale
Pamukkale, meaning "Cotton Castle" in Turkish, is one of Turkey's most breathtaking natural and historical landmarks. Here's what you need to know before you go:

Pamukkale Travertines
The iconic white terraces you’ve seen in photos are formed by the flow of calcium-rich thermal waters, which solidify into travertine formations over time. The result is a surreal landscape of cascading pools. Visitors can walk along designated paths and even dip their feet into some of these warm mineral-rich waters, believed to have healing properties. Be sure to remove your shoes to protect the formations!

Hierapolis Ancient City
Above the travertines lies Hierapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site founded in the 2nd century BC. Explore the well-preserved Roman amphitheater, the vast necropolis with ancient tombs, the Temple of Apollo, and the mysterious Plutonium cave, once used for religious rituals.

Cleopatra's Pool
One of the highlights of Hierapolis is Cleopatra’s Pool (Antique Pool), a thermal spring where you can swim among submerged columns from the Roman era. The legend claims that the pool was a gift from Marc Antony to Cleopatra, and the thermal waters are said to have rejuvenating qualities.

Hike to the Top
To fully appreciate Pamukkale, take the hike up to the top of the travertines. From here, you’ll enjoy spectacular views over the valley and the shimmering white terraces. This is also where you can access Hierapolis, so make sure to explore both natural and historical wonders in one visit.
