Yesterday, we woke up before sunrise, hoping to catch those famous hot air balloons floating over Cappadocia. After snapping a few photos, our stomachs started growling, so we set out to find the breakfast spot everyone online raves about. We wandered those winding stone streets for nearly 20 minutes, following Google Maps, only to find the place closed for renovations! I couldn’t believe it—after all that walking and anticipation, we were left standing in front of a locked door. We ended up grabbing breakfast at a tiny café nearby, but honestly, it just wasn’t the same. The bread was a bit stale, and the coffee tasted more like instant than fresh brew. I couldn’t help but wonder if the locals actually eat at these places or if they’re just for tourists. Have you ever traveled somewhere just for the food, only to be let down? Or maybe you’ve found a hidden gem after a disappointing start? I’m starting to think the best meals are the ones you stumble upon by accident, not the ones with five-star reviews. Sometimes, the adventure is in the search, not the meal itself. #Cappadocia #TravelStories #BreakfastAdventures #Travel
