Our overall impressions of Turkey

Our trip to Turkey has come and gone in a whirlwind motion that us left us wanting more. Although we have been back for a couple of days now, we are still on Turkey time and wonder what we would be doing if we were still there. It was a great trip and I fell in love with the country, the people, and the food.

Things we will miss:

  • Göreme
  • Great hospitality
  • Çay (also free at times :))
  • The landscape
  • Göreme boys
  • Fresh fruit
  • Tasty desserts
  • Fabulous dishes (Iskender Kebab, Chicken Shish Kebab, Gözleme, Köfte)
  • Erol’s breakfast
  • The HOT men

Things we will NOT miss:

  • The haggling
  • The cigarette smoke
  • Celine Dion music
  • Weird toilets
  • Beethoven’s Fur Elise ringtone (I swear it’s the most popular ringtone in Turkey)

Nina's Post Travel Tip:

  • Be aware that weaning off of Turkey is a slow and painful process!
