Turkish delight in Kusadasi package

It’s no surprise Turkey is a popular destination for families, as Caroline O’Doherty discovered when she gave her two preschoolers their first taste of foreign travel with a package holiday to Kusadasi.

INDEPENDENT travel breeds a reverse snobbery towards the package holidaymaker that somehow makes it seem sane to pity those with a roof over their head while bedding down on a railway platform for the night.

And then parenthood happens and suddenly it feels a tad irresponsible to venture beyond the garden gate without secure food and lodging and sufficient knowledge of the local language to scream: Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement Peppa Pig beanie toy?
