One of my favorite things to do in any city is wander through its markets, and Istanbul did not disappoint!

The Grand Bazaar and Spice Market aren’t just shopping spots, they’re sensory experiences that truly capture the essence of the city.

Imagine strolling through a vibrant maze of color, where every spice and handicraft has a story.

I always feel like these markets are where the heart of a city beats the strongest. 💓

Have you ever dreamed of sleeping in a luxury cave hotel?

You can in Cappadocia!

Wake up in a cozy cave hotel, enjoy a delicious Turkish Coffee and traditional breakfast, make your way up to the top of the ancient Uchisar Rock Castle where you can admire the view from the highest point in Cappadocia, then venture deep underground to explore the ancient cities!

Enjoy a float in a cliffside pool with magical views, followed by a massage at the Hammam, and wake up early to soar over this magical, moon-like landscape in a hot air balloon at sunrise. 🌄

If heights are not your thing, you can also enjoy the natural beauty by hiking through Pigeon Valley or on horseback 🐎

Who’s ready?
