"Awesome custom tattoo shop. They generally don't do walk-ins, so keep an eye on their social media posts for openings in their artists' schedules."

"One of the oldest, and this most experienced, balloon companies in the region. Expert pilots, great commentary, and overall a wonderful experience."

"Zelve Open Air Museum is a must in Cappadocia. Do the entire walk through all three valleys for incredible scenery and a look into history. If it's Summer go early or late in the day to avoid the heat"

"Small family-owned hotel. Family and owner bends over backwards to try and make your stay absolutely perfect. Large, luxurious, clean suites, great breakfast. Highly recommended."

"Great hotel close to the prime Istanbul sights. Lovely staff. If you book directly through their website and pay in cash, you'll get a discount."

"They have a house-made ginger beer. It's quite tasty, so if you're not into alcohol, this is one to try."
