…ther hidden gem in the Turkish countryside around Selcuk. To be honest, I knew they made wine in Turkey but I knew nothing about it. So stopping at the Yedi Bilgeler Winery was a must-do for me and what a great stop it turned out to be. Yedi Bilgeler Winery is as picturesque as anything in Italy or Spain. I won’t go so far as to say the quality of taste is as good but as far as beauty of the vineyard it was fantastic. Not only did we do a wine and…

…eat photos! Outside of the old city, about a 15-minute drive into a trendy new section of Marrakech you can find the restaurant Bo & Zin. The restaurant is incredibly trendy and really popular with the French jet set. On the night we were there, it was packed with models and other European/Moroccan bougie types. That said, the Asian fusion food was also excellent and well worth a trip out. You will 100% not feel like you’re in the rest of Marrakec…

…of the city is wealthy from the oil and technology revenues that fit this new Asian Tiger so well. The city teems with motorbikes, awesome restaurants, food stalls and bars that make it a very pleasant place to be despite the searing heat that is almost always over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
