On our Turkey this april we cover Istanbul, Cappadocia and Pamukkale was phenomenal. Istanbul is one of the greatest cities on earth. The Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar where you can get lost for hours and not mind, the Bosphorus cruise with Europe on one side and Asia on the other. Cappadocia was surreal. The balloon ride at dawn over the fairy chimneys in the golden light with thirty other balloons around us was forty-five minutes of pure wonder. The hot spring terraces at Pamukkale looked exactly like the photographs and did not disappoint. All logistics handled smoothly.
