At the end of 2025, we wanted to welcome the new year in a different city, so we turned our route toward Thessaloniki. Expecting the New Year period to be crowded, we made our hotel reservation about three months in advance—and we’re really glad we did. Accommodation: A Central Hotel in Ladadika The hotel we stayed at in Thessaloniki was Colors Ladadika Central .It is located in the Ladadika district, which is famous for its restaurants and nightlife. The hotel does not have

During our 2025 summer holiday , we decided to make a short escape from Bodrum to Kos . Without overplanning, we chose a one-night stay , aiming for a quick but enjoyable island experience—and it turned out exactly as we imagined. Kos Island is located in the Aegean Sea  and is one of the closest Greek islands to Turkey . It is also known as Istanköy  in Turkish. Reaching Kos from Bodrum is incredibly easy, with a ferry ride of only 20–25 minutes , which makes it a perfect de

I am back on the blog after a long break. I completed my master's degree during this break, thank God it is over :) I am starting to talk about what we did and where we went during our 2024 summer vacation quickly..

I got married in 2022 and suddenly my registration became Giresun Center :) For this reason, my wife took me to Giresun to show my second hometown and village in September 2022. When we entered the Center, I said, "I never expected a place like this, I liked it so much." We went again a year later in 2023. This time we showed my parents their daughter's vil

I wanted to share with you our experience in Bozcaada, which we went to for our wedding anniversary. We planned a 2 Nights 3 Days weekend holiday. 1 day We set off at the end of work on Friday evening, arriving at the island around 21.30 after about a half-hour sailing on the Geyikli-Bozcaada ferry. First we settled in our hotel, then we quickly left our bags and went to the street where the taverns were located. We didn't have the idea to go to that restaurant, so we sat whe

Greetings, we set out to go to Gökçeada on the second day of the Eid al-Adha holiday. We took the ferry from Kabatepe and were able to go to the island in 1 hour and 20 minutes. We had purchased our round-trip ferry tickets online from Gestaş in advance. If you go without buying a ticket, you will have to wait in line. In summary: In our opinion, Gökçeada; We are a beautiful island that is very dry, where a car is a must, where there is no olive cultivation although there are
