Hi Rina- 

We had an absolutely wonderful trip! Thank you so much for the help in arranging our visit, and in planning the tour at the last minute. The car rentals in Cappadoccia and Antalya were great for us, since we like to get around a bit on our own. Hotel Gamirasu was a real highlight of the trip in Cappadoccia. Kristin ended up getting a little ill while we were there and Ibrahim and Gumus and their staff were very helpful. Their food is also great. 

In Antalya, we loved the Ottoman house/hotel that we stayed in, La Paloma, and visited Termessos, which was unbelievable (I highly recommend it for people who like the outdoors and hiking, but have their own transportation to get there). 

Our visit along the coast was very relaxing. Suleyman in Demre was helpful in pointing us to a great place to eat, and in getting us a place to buy some carpet. It was good to get to know him over dinner as well. We visited a couple beaches, took a lovely Kekova boat cruise, and generally relaxed. 

And of course, the best part of Istanbul was our private tour with Suleyman. He was great and we learned an awful lot in a short amount of time. Topkapi Palace was great. 

In the spirit of providing you with some useful feedback for future visitors, there were three things that I thought we would mention: 

Overall, our stay in Turkey was wonderful, and we will be sure to recommend Insight Travel to anyone else who is thinking about going! 

Thank you, Lisa and Suleyman again for all your help and assistance and for an unforgettable adventure.

Best Regards, 
Nate and Kristin Wuerffel
