This is my second international trip with Samsan Travels. My first was Thailand (Bangkok Pattaya) to be precise. I always wanted to go to Turkey to see the mix of two cultures Asia and Europe. My trip was planned well by Samsan. On day one we landed at Istanbul. It is such a beautiful place and our hotel was very close to Takshim Square. All three days we were in Istanbul we made it a point to take a walk on the street for shopping. Got real good deals there.
The Blue mosque is good but I liked the Hagia Sophia Museum a lot. The Bosphorous Cruise is a must do. where you get to see the two continents Asia and Europe with naked eyes. Amazing experience. Spice Bazaar is also good in case you wanna buy some ceramic stuff, spices or different types of teas. Grand bazaar is for jewellery shopping. We also went to Kusadasi. Kusadasi is a very very beautiful place.
Our hotel room had the direct view of the sea. I loved Ephesus, It is an ancient city and worth a watch. Pamukkale which means cotton castle in Turkish is a place one must visit when you go to Turkey. Its has multiple calcium springs and actually looks like a cotton castle. If you have seen the Hindi movie Ajab Prem ki Gazab kahani you must clearly remember seeing it in the song ’Tu jaane na’. Just walking along the seaside and having hot chocolate and eating sandwiches you can spend days at Kusadasi.
Thank you Samsan Travels for planning and organizing a trip to my dream place. :)
