I had the incredible opportunity to embark on a 9-day, 7-night adventure in Turkiye with the renowned travel agency, Kakijalan. The journey began with an exciting flight on Emirates Airlines, and I must admit, I had a whirlwind of emotions - a mix of fear, nervousness, and overwhelming excitement - as it was my very first time boarding a plane. As soon as I landed in Turkiye, I was warmly greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, Neco, who would be my companion throughout the entire trip. Neco's expertise and passion for the country were evident from the start, and I knew I was in good hands.
Before heading to Bolu, we took some time to soak in the vibrant atmosphere of Istanbul. And guess what? Thanks to Kakijalan, we got to enjoy a free Bosphorus cruise! It was such a fantastic experience sailing along the beautiful waters, taking in the stunning views of the city. Afterward, we visited the enchanting Tulip Garden, a true paradise for flower lovers. The garden was absolutely breathtaking, filled with colorful blooms that brought joy to our hearts. It was definitely a highlight of our trip!
Continuing the adventure in Turkiye, Cappadocia was an absolute dream! Taking a hot air balloon ride offered breathtaking views of the unique rock formations, creating a truly magical experience. The jeep safari was a thrilling way to explore the rugged landscapes and discover hidden gems.

Next stop, Pamukkale! The mesmerizing Cotton Castle truly lives up to its name. The terraces of white mineral-rich water are a sight to behold. Exploring the ancient city of Hierapolis was like stepping back in time and discovering the rich history and fascinating ruins.
The Grand Bazaar is a shopaholic's paradise with its maze-like alleys filled with colorful stalls. You can find everything from beautiful Turkish carpets and intricate ceramics to dazzling jewelry and stylish clothing. It's a treasure trove of unique souvenirs and local crafts.
