The Cappadocia region of Turkey has one of Europe’s most intriguing landscapes. The cave and cone-like formations are the result of volcanic eruptions that took place millions of years ago. You can take a flight from Istanbul and arrive into this wonderland. Most hotels are built directly into existing caves. Don’t miss out on taking an early morning hot air balloon ride over the region.
Eat: Ziggy’s Cafe and Shoppe is a jewel in the heart of Cappadocia. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is magical. This place has the perfect formula: open air terraces so you can dine underneath the moon and stars; an eclectic mix of jazz playing in the background; and an international clientele. The cozy and intimate feel at Ziggy’s is created by onwers Nuray and Selim, who receive you with open arms! Ziggy’s is a must when in Cappadocia. Make reservations!
Don’t forget to check out the Ziggy’s shoppe below the restaurant which has handmade crafts and jewelry designed by the onwer, Nuray.
