Turkey With Emily Hatt

27/08/2025


Turkey doesn’t just welcome you – it mesmerizes you. From the moment you arrive, you’re swept into a land where ancient ruins meet vibrant bazaars, and every corner tells a story. Wander through the timeless streets of Istanbul, soak in thermal waters in Pamukkale, and watch the sun rise over Cappadocia’s surreal landscapes. Savor rich Turkish coffee, explore majestic mosques, and cruise along the turquoise coast. Whether you’re chasing adventure or seeking serenity, Turkey offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. It’s more than a destination – it’s a feeling, alive with warmth, wonder, and unforgettable moments that stay with you long after you leave.

Hello, My name is Emily and I love to travel and help people book their dream destinations. 
 
With nearly 16 years of experience as a travel agent, I’ve had the pleasure of helping clients create unforgettable memories across both land-based and cruise holidays. My journey in the industry has taken me through both retail and virtual call centre roles, giving me a well-rounded perspective on delivering exceptional service. Travel is my passion, and I find real joy in bringing happiness to others by planning their perfect getaway. Over the years, my own travel style has evolved—from exciting girls’ trips and long-haul adventures to more recent family-friendly European holidays—giving me firsthand insight into a wide range of travel needs.

Turkey isn’t just a place you visit - it’s a journey through time and texture. From the golden domes of Istanbul to the surreal valleys of Cappadocia, every moment is layered with history, flavour, and wonder. Sail along the turquoise coast, wander through ancient ruins, and sip tea in lively bazaars where East meets West. Whether you're exploring the echoes of empires or relaxing in a hillside village, Turkey offers a rich tapestry of experiences. It’s a land of contrasts - bold and serene, ancient and modern - where every step reveals something unforgettable. This isn’t just travel. It’s connection, discovery, and soul-deep inspiration.

Food That Leaves a Mark,Turkish cuisine is truly unforgettable-some of the best I’ve had anywhere in the world. From sizzling grilled meats and fresh mezzes to pide (a Turkish-style pizza), stuffed vine leaves, and flaky baklava, every meal is packed with flavour and care. Even the bread served with every dish is warm and delicious. Whether dining in a family-run café or a luxury resort, the food is consistently rich, hearty, and satisfying. Turkish tea and strong coffee are staples, often followed by sweet treats that keep you coming back for more. It’s not just food-it’s hospitality, tradition, and pride served on every plate.

Boat trips, bazaars, beaches & a whole lot of baklava

History That Surrounds You,Turkey is a treasure trove of history, with ancient ruins and cultural landmarks around every corner. From Roman theatres in Side to Lycian rock tombs in Fethiye, and the majestic ruins of Ephesus, the country offers a deep connection to the past. Even castle ruins in Bodrum feel alive with stories. What makes it special is how accessible the history is-often guided by locals who share tales that stay with you long after the tour ends. You’re not just observing history; you’re walking through it. Turkey’s layered past is woven into its landscapes, making every visit a journey through time.

People, Experiences & Why It’s a Must-Visit, What truly makes Turkey unforgettable is its people. Turkish hospitality is genuine-locals go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Whether it’s a market trader offering tea, a hotel owner sharing local tips, or a waiter recommending their favourite dish, the warmth is real. I’ve built lasting connections here, and each return feels like visiting old friends. Add to that the boat trips on crystal-clear waters, scenic cable car rides into the mountains, and vibrant bazaars full of colour and charm. Turkey offers sun, sea, culture, and value-making it a top recommendation for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
