Turkey Travel Agent Specialist

Cappadocia

When I tell people I am a travel agent who specializes in travel to Turkey, they frequently look intrigued. Often they tell me they have never been to the exotic country and want to know what it's like. That is when I get excited, as I cannot help but tell them all the great sites they can see in this spectacular destination. I would like to offer you the same opportunity to see this unforgettable part of the world as well. Sitting on the Mediterranean, it offers an ideal climate along the Turkish Riviera. With its bustling cafes and cobbled streets, Kas will leave you spellbound and feeling like you're part of a dream. Another wonderful place to see is Istanbul, known in ancient times as Constantinople. The ancient Greeks established the city in the 7th century BC. Therefore, the Turkish capital is filled with historic sites to explore and see. Some of the amazing and impressive sites include the opulent and massive Topkapi Palace, and the city's renowned Blue Mosque church. You can also delve into culinary delights, such as Manti, a type of ravioli dish that is served hot with garlic and cold yogurt. The dough holds fillings, such as spinach, chicken, salmon, ground beef, or lamb, plus onion, salt, and pepper for taste. The classical dough is made of water, flour, and salt, and some cooks add eggs to enhance the dish's flavor. Cooking experts say that Manti, when made with smaller wrapped pieces and a thinner dough, shows that the cook is quite skilled at his craft. I know, as your travel agent for Turkey, that you will love this country's sights, attractions, activities, and food. Turkey is an immersive experience that unveils a captivating blend of ancient history, vibrant cultures, and breathtaking landscapes.

Affordable Paris trip

My husband and I renewed our wedding vows and hired Jamie to plan a trip for us to Paris. We were on some what of a budget and thought there was no way to afford it. Jamie was able to find us a great deal on a red eye flight out of JFK and a wonderful boutique hotel near Montmartre. Breakfast was included so we saved money on our meals. She arranged a private tour with a local guide she has worked with many times who spoke perfect English. It was like having a friend take us around the city. We loved every second. Thank you.
