Most of our days were a masterclass in the art of doing nothing. We spent hours chilling by the pool and beach, only pausing to decide where to eat next. While the main buffet was excellent, the real culinary highlights were the specialist a la carte restaurants. We feasted on incredible, authentic Turkish dishes one night and indulged in a fantastic Chinese menu the next.

We did manage to tear ourselves away from the sun loungers for a few epic day trips. We boarded a pirate ship cruise for a day of sailing, complete with some brilliant snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. To top off the relaxation, we also booked a visit to a traditional local Hammam, leaving us completely refreshed.

But the absolute highlight of the trip wasn’t the weather or the food. While away, we got the incredible news that KT passed her Master’s degree with a First! She’s officially heading toward a Doctorate next. Cheers to that!
