Merhaba, Turkey! A country where ancient ruins share the stage with jaw-dropping landscapes, where buzzing bazaars slowly give way to golden beaches, and where every single meal feels like a feast. Turkey isn’t just a destination you see - it’s one you live.
Growing up, our Turkish adventures were mostly spent in the all-inclusive resorts along the Riviera. Think endless buffets, gigantic pools, epic waterslides, cheerful entertainment crews, and, of course, our grandpas staking out the best sunbeds at 6 AM with their towels. Those memories left us with no doubt: Turkey knows how to do hotels. But we knew it was time to dive deeper and (re)discover just how much more this country has to offer.
So, curious and a little restless, we packed our bags and hit the road for a two-week road trip. From the iconic skyline of Istanbul to the turquoise coastline (Çanakkale, Selçuk, Fethiye, Kaş, …) and finally into the magical landscapes of Cappadocia - Turkey surprised us at every turn. In this article, we’re taking you along for the ride, through a journey where Europe and Asia collide in the best possible way ♥
