Where East Meets West
Did you know Turkey is now formally to be known as Turkiye? The new name for Turkey is simply the way it's always been spelled and pronounced in Turkish, and other languages.
Geographically, Turkiye has lived at the crossroads of numerous civilizations and cultures. This history is especially evident in the food culture, and it's a bucket list destination for a number of reasons. One being the country's location on two continents: Europe and Asia.
📍Cappadocia
Located in Asia, the majestic central city of Cappadocia is covered with ancient rock formations called fairy chimneys, underground cities made from early Christians seeking protection, and centuries old frescos and churches. Take in the breathtaking landscape from thousands of feet above via hot air balloon- a bucket list experience trending for the last couple of years.
While Istanbul has the big city feel, Cappadocia's natural beauty and calming yet mystical landscape is easily a highlight to an itinerary in Turkiye.
