My Top Euro Summer Destination Yet: Cappadocia🇹🇷
Cappadocia was a dream come true😍😍 I wanted to relax and rest during this trip so here are a few things you can do in this destination:
🎈HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE: I opted to watch from my hotel room (which was just as magical), however if you want to take the ride, there are 2 sessions: one at 5:30 and the other at 6am. It’s approx 250€ per person
🪴POTTERY DEMO: I made a plant holder (with a lot of assistance) at a local pottery studio. It was really fun and pretty quick, and you can take your design home. It takes 2 days to dry so make sure you have enough time for the drying process.
🧵CARPET DEMO: You can watch Turkish women design the traditional Turkish carpets in person and also shop for a carpet of your own. They have so many sizes and colors to choose from but my favorite part was learning about the technique.
🛁TURKISH HAMMAM: This was on my bucket list for a while and it was soooo good! I had a spa package for a sauna session, Turkish bath, full body aromatherapy massage and a face mask for 90€. I was in a private room so no one else was present to see me getting fully scrubbed down. This was such a great experience and I’ve never felt cleaner🫧
Lastly, the sunsets are beautiful and I loved them just as much as the sunrises. This was such an incredible trip and you can watch it on my youtube channel (@Bmekween🌍✈️ )
