Layers of Time and Taste in Türkiye

Türkiye offered a mix of layered history and everyday warmth that kept drawing me in. From wandering the hauntingly preserved ruins of Ephesus to sipping rich Turkish coffee in a buzzing street café, my time here was a blend of the ancient and the sensory. It’s a place where stone and spice live side by side, where even brief visits feel immersive. Each stop held something different, spiritual reverence, markets bursting with sweets, or simply the glow of the coastline at dusk. This was a country that fed my curiosity and left me wanting more.
