Istanbul is an incredibly beautiful and unique city, straddling both Europe and Asia, with plenty to see and eat. It’s a city absolutely worth visiting.

I had always wanted to visit the historic and unique city of Istanbul, and fly on Turkish Airlines to experience their legendary in-flight dining experience. So, when I stumbled upon what seemed like an irresistible deal for a seat in business class, I seized the opportunity and booked the flight on a whim. Although I was expecting their new business class product, I had a pleasant surprise in store for me.

To beat jetlag, especially while flying east, my strategy is to ensure I’m sufficiently tired upon reaching my destination at night. This involves either scheduling my arrival for the evening or adjusting my routine to the destination’s timezone right from the start of my journey.

Since I tend to eat more than usual while traveling, I try to find every opportunity to also move more than usual, especially since the idea of going to the gym for a workout while traveling is highly unappealing. Thankfully, with a fitness tracking device, this could be as easy as making sure I walk more steps per day than I usually would when at home. This is also one of my strategies for avoiding jetlag.

Despite being a brief one-day visit, my adventure in the sun-kissed island of Rhodes, Greece was nothing short of extraordinary, filled with mesmerizing history, breathtaking beauty, and an undeniable charm that is quintessentially Greek.

Few places can boast the rich tapestry of history, culture, and cuisine that Athens, Greece does. Even though I only had a couple of days to soak it all in, my whirlwind tour of Athens was nothing short of breathtaking. My Athens, Greece vacation included visits to the Philopappos Hill, Acropolis of Athens, the Roman Agora, the Ancient Agora, and neighborhoods, like Ancient Plaka and Ermou Street.
