Similar to how images of Perce Rock drew me to Quebec’s Gaspe Peninsula, Antalya’s waterfalls put the city on the map for me. Ever since seeing the first picture of Lower Düden Falls spilling into the Mediterranean, I knew I had to visit this magical place. It kind of blew my mind that there was this waterfall out there that flowed into the sea like this.

As I came to find, Antalya waterfalls are plentiful with 10 unique ones in the surrounding area. That said, visiting Upper and Lower Düden Falls are my top picks. Check out the lateset post on thislifeintrips.com for my full write up on why along with more photos from Antalya’s best waterfalls.

In 2014, I visited Turkey and fell in love. From the historical sites of Istanbul to the caves of Cappadocia and the service and hospitality in between, Turkey quickly became a favourite destination. This love, really, started upon arrival.

Ever since the new airport opened in 2018 I have been eager to return to see how the new lounge compares. Just before the pandemic, I booked several connecting flights through Istanbul specifically to check out the lounge. Finally, after two years of cancelled travel, I got to experience the new (to me) Turkish Airlines lounge at Istanbul airport. Check out my full review over at thislieintrips.com.

I haven’t enjoyed non-airline lounges so my expectations were pretty low when I visited the Perl Lounge at Bahrain’s international airport. What I didn’t realize at the time is that I was stepping into a 5-Star experience as rated by Skytrax.

All in all a beautiful space with top-notch service that you won’t find in other contracted lounges. Full review is now live on thislifeintrips.com!

*NEW* on the blog, my time hiking and swimming in Wadi Ash Shab. Although it was pushing +40, the teal blue pools were a refreshing reward. By far a highlight on my trip through the Middle East.
