Where history, healing, and hospitality intertwine
There are few places in the world where the past and present meet as gracefully as Istanbul. From the echo of call to prayer across the Bosphorus to the scent of Turkish coffee and rosewater in the air, every moment here feels both grounding and awakening.
This collection brings together my most memorable experiences in Istanbul—each one blending wellness, culture, and connection. Whether it was the warmth of centuries-old marble at the Hürrem Sultan Hamamı, the serene views and hospitality at the Ritz-Carlton Istanbul, or the thoughtful care and modern excellence of Memorial Hospital, each offered a unique way to restore body and spirit.
At Passport MD, I see Istanbul not just as a destination, but as an invitation: to slow down, to listen, and to rediscover balance in a city that has been a crossroads of healing and humanity for millennia.
Ritz-Carlton Istanbul — Timeless luxury overlooking the Bosphorus.
Hürrem Sultan Hamamı — A centuries-old ritual of renewal.
Memorial Hospital — Modern care rooted in compassion.
