Istanbul, Turkey again? 7 Reasons Why We Keep Coming Back @inflowtravel #TKMoments

Our original plan after our UK trip was to fly to Turkey and attend the Inflow Travel Summit. So that you know, Inflow Travel Summit in Istanbul was the beginning of the series of Digital Marketing Events held in different international locations. We were looking forward to it because as digital influencers; it’s a great venue to meet different organisations, fellow bloggers, and learn few tricks, tips and trades about our industry. Unfortunately, it got cancelled and rescheduled for April 18th to 19th, 2017.

However, that didn’t stop us to go back once again to Turkey. After all, it is such a beautiful place – I don’t really care if I keep on revisiting this amazing country. Glad that even if the event has been cancelled, the lovely organisers still arranged our flights (courtesy of Turkish Airlines) for our London – Istanbul – Argentina trip (we even got upgraded to Business Class Flight for our 18-hour long-haul flight!).

Maybe you are wondering why I love Istanbul so much. To clarify all your mind’s questions, we have seven reasons to share with you. Actually, we can give you more but that will take days – or even weeks to finish because there is so much to adore here.

Anyway, I think these seven reasons should be enough for you to book already the next flight going to Istanbul, Turkey.

1. Because authentic Turkish Food is pure joy!

Of course, the number 1 on my list would be food. I know that I am watching my weight, and I try to be picky with what I eat, but goodness – that was a hard task when I stayed in Istanbul.

We were so lucky to have tasted Matbah Restaurant’s dishes, which by the are, are of top quality. And you know what – their selection of exclusive dishes were once served to Ottoman sultans! If you want the best traditional Turkish taste during your stay in Istanbul, never miss Mathbah Restaurant.

2. Their flag carrier, Turkish Airlines, always exceeds our expectations

We tried their Business Class and with such comfort; anyone can sleep soundly. If you are travelling for long hours, their in –flight entertainment will not disappoint. For a TV – addict like me, I was really happy with their movie choices! I tell you, there were a lot. Also, you can comfortably work while you are thousands of feet above the ground. I actually asked Jon to have my laptop and notebook ready because I was some that I could finish few tasks while inside the massive plane. And let’s not forget their food! I swear by it. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!I just realised that I mentioned ‘food’ a number of times already – and I’m still at my number 2 reason (maybe I should get something to eat now). Haha!

If you have been following our journey, you can really tell that ‘dreams do come true’. Imagine, we were just backpackers trying to save on all of our travel costs. And now, we are practically the airline’s ambassadors trying to set our foot in different countries all over the globe. Wait for our Business Class flight review!

Just a side note and an exciting news for Filipinos like me. There’s actually a direct flight from Manila to Istanbul via Turkish Airlines. Now, if you want to visit Brazil or Colombia and do not have a visa, then you can just take Turkish Airlines, fly to Istanbul and go to South America.

This is the Istanbul Lounge, Turkish Airlines Lounge!

3. The Turkish hospitality is world – class
