marinaexplores_ — Hagia Sophia

Here are some clips from my 10 days in Turkey. It’s an amazing country. From the people, to the food, to the landscapes everything was fantastic 😄 Some of the best places to visit in Turkey: -Cappadocia: watch the balloons go up at sunrise, sunset horse riding, walk through the Valleys and watch epic sunsets! Don’t forget to visit the carpet shops for some cute photos 💕 -Pummakale: It doesn’t quite look as the online photos we see but it’s still and incredible place to visit. And there’s also the beautiful Cleopatra’s pool! Izmir- pretty city to relax, check out the markets and a day trip to Ephesus. Istanbul- cruise the Bosphorus river between two continents, beautiful rooftops, visit the grand bazaar, one of the largest and oldest markets in the world and the beautiful Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. If you’d like any recommendations for food, places to go or have any questions just ask away x
