10-day Vacation in Turkey: Report (January 2025)

• Visited Istanbul: Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, a Bosphorus cruise, and other landmarks.

• Experienced a 16th-century hammam on-site, immersing myself in the traditions of Turkish bathing culture.
• Visited Mount Chimaera, where eternal natural gas flames have been burning for centuries — a breathtaking natural wonder.

• Explored an intense route with cliffs and pristine beaches near Çirali, combining adventure and stunning views.
• Took a ride on the Ferris wheel in Antalya, enjoying panoramic views of the city and the sea, which became one of the most relaxing moments of the trip.

• Learned about the Bosphorus Bridge, which can only be crossed on foot once a year during the Istanbul Marathon, and signed up for the marathon in November 2025 to make this unique experience a reality. And all this was thanks to a close person whose appearance in my life became the main event of 2024 for me. Their support and presence made every moment of this journey even more meaningful. 2024 was a good year, and I bid it farewell with a smile, looking forward to the adventures of 2025.
