Turkey has the best of ALL worlds if you ask me. The geographical location is there but what makes everything a good melting pot of beauty are the people there and these amazing places.

I do have a friend who visited Turkey about two years ago and I remember seeing her photos. It looked so magical, especially the area around Pamukkale and Capadoccia.

This is an is pretty detailed list of what to see in Turkey. I’ve only ever been one time on an 8-hour layover in Istanbul. I definitely need to go back. I also love how you list the foods and what’s in them. I have a food allergy, so I appreciate that.
