Turkey! Oh turkey you have been and always will be one of my favorite.
To talk about turkey the place that covers all the places in it. In just one place on earth.

I have visited turkey for the first time in february 2011 it was freezing but warm, it was snowing but lovely. Second time in December 2016 on my honeymoon and third time in September 2017 for medical issue.

A richly historical land with some of the best cuisine you will ever taste, scenery from beaches to mountains and the great city of Istanbul.

Turkey is much more than its clichéd image of a “bridge between East and West”. Invaded and settled from every direction since the start of recorded history, it combines influences from the Middle East and the Mediterranean, the Balkans and Central Asia. Mosques coexist with churches.

Turkey is much more than the gorgeous skyline of istanbul, its perfection hard to beat with the silhouettes of the Haga Sofia and the Blue Mosque standing proud by the Bosphorus.

Being in Turkey cannot be compared to being anywhere else in Asia, the Middle East or anywhere else! Its landscapes are unbelievable, like a fantastical dream, you only need to lay eyes on Cappadocia the history is everywhere to the airbaloon in the early morning, and in the old town of Istanbul also in bursa ..

Simit is a type of ring-shaped bread covered with sesame seeds. Simit is commonly eaten in Turkey, plain or with cheese, butter.

Börek also burek is a family of baked filled pastries made of a thin flaky dough.

Dolma and sarma has a special place in Turkish cuisine. It can be eaten either as a meze or a main dish.Pastirma is another famous beef delicacy.. kebap and kofte also refers to a great variety of meat dish in turkey
To finalize with the food and with the sweet parts
dessert is often a social ritual, a course meant to be shared at anytime of the day or night.

Kunefe, baklava, lokma with turkish tea aside and most important do not forget to take home with u the turkish delight with the variety of flavors.

In the street of Taksim you can see people from all over the world 🌎 chinese,japanese,arabs,european,korean,american and much more nationalities in the street that doesn't sleep.
Its 24/24 crowded with people, shops, kiosk, bars that never close.

In Bursa, it is the best place to enjoy a good weather to visit mosques from the early ottoman empire and to visit the best sights to ski and enjoy the white snow there!

Do not hesitate to book and have a break for a month in turkey 🇹🇷
