Some tips:
- Before visiting the Ulu Mosque, ensure you are dressed modestly in respect to the local customs. It's a religious space; hence showing respect to the culture is vital. Remember to remove your shoes before entering.
- Try to enquire about the ingredients in the local Turkish dishes as they may contain allergens. Also, drinking water is not commonly served in Turkish restaurants, so you might want to order some.
- For the balloon ride, make sure to bring a camera to capture the breathtaking views. However, remember that balloon flights are dependent on the weather conditions so there's a chance that it might not happen if the weather isn't favorable.
