“I’m a photography enthusiast and this trip offered some incredible photo opportunities. Cappadocia alone made the entire trip worth it. Watching the hot air balloons rise over the valleys at sunrise was one of the most beautiful scenes I’ve ever photographed. Istanbul was also fantastic with its historic architecture.”
