Turkey had always been a dream of mine. It is just such an amazing place historically as a part of the Silk road and having had so many religious time periods. We loved the mosques and the underground caves – a dream trip.

Take the kids! The Turks love children and they can go everywhere. The food is really kid friendly, too!
