    Flawless... the only way to describe our trip. I had been to Turkey 2 years ago, contracted Covid and was stranded in Cappadocia as my tour group continued without me. Going back was a huge leap of faith and I brought my sister along for support. From the airport transfers, to drivers, guides and lodging... perfect.
