The doner kebap originated in the Ottoman Empire. It started out as the cag kebab, stacks of seasoned sliced meat cooked on a horizontal rotisserie, which dates back to the 17th century. 

Bursa, which is just south of Istanbul is thought to be the birthplace of the vertical rotisserie used for today’s modern doner kebap. Its believed that it was invented sometime in the 19th century by Iskender Efendi of Iskender kebap fame or possibly Hamdi Usta from Kastamonu.

There’s nothing definitive in history, as the use of fire for cooking (790,000+ years ago) predates the pen and paper by many moons. In the Kitab al-Tabikh, a 10th-century Baghdadi cookbook there are descriptions of kabāb as cut-up meat, either fried in a pan or grilled over a fire. Stone supports for skewers however were unearthed in excavations of the ancient Minoan settlement of Akrotiri.

The ancient Indian text of Mahabharata and even Homer’s Iliad also mentioned pieces of meat roasted on spits which could be kebaps. Meat kebabs were also believed to have been grilled on swords by Nomadic tribesmen. In 17th-century Turkey, Evliya Celebi, an Ottoman journeyman, describes the kebeb as a horizontal bundle of meat which is long before the vertically skewed, Iskender Kebap, was made famous in the 19th century. 

So while there’s no definitive answer, kebaps have most likely been around a very, very long time. 

The vertical rotisserie was invented in the 19th-century Ottoman Empire and soon spread around the world. The Greek gyro, the Arab shawarma, Mexican al pastor, and Canadian donair are all kebap variations that use this type of rotisserie.

No, poinsettias are native to Central America. The reason you see so many of them in Turkey is because they are a symbol of Turkish patriotism. 

The myth of Turkish poinsettias began because they are the favorite flower of the founding father of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who cultivated their growth across the country. Locals now commonly refer to them as the Ataturk flower (Ataturk cicegi).

The Aztecs, however, first called them cuetlaxochitl, meaning the flower that grows in residues or soil. In Mexico and Guatemala, they are known today as flor de Noche Buena, which translates as flowers of the holy night. They are also known in Central America as the Christmas Eve flower, which is in reference to the holy night being the one when Jesus was born.

No, turkey birds are native to North America. Contrary to the urban legend, those gobble-gobblers of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner fame have no known association with Turkey. In fact, the Republic of Turkey only became a country in 1923 long after Thanksgiving turkey dinners became a thing in 17th-century America.

No, Saint Nicholas, whom the legend of Sinterklaas was based on (also known as the myth of the Turkish Santa Claus of western world fame), was born in the Greek seaport town of Patara to wealthy Christian parents.

In his youth be started out as the Bishop of Myra whose habit of secretly gift-giving away his inherited wealth was well known in the region. The reference to Jolly Old Saint Nick (a short form of Nicholas) pays homage to the real-life Saint Nicholas of Myra.

The ancient Greek city of Myra passed through many ruling hands over the hands and is known today as Demre and found in the province of Antalya, Turkey. The ruins of the St. Nicholas Church is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site now. This church turned museum receives over 500,000 visitors a year who want to glimpse Saint Nicholas’ tomb.

Yes, but it is not recommended, as it will make you personally liable for anything that happens on your property. It also can create a potential issue if your property lies within the Maritime Terrestrial Zone (200m from the median tide line), where foreigners can only own 49% of the concession rights.

The recommended path is to make your purchase through a newly registered Costa Rica corporation. This will add a liability protection barrier, and allow for easier ownership transfer in your living will. Owning your property as a legally registered company will also make obtaining a local bank account, and utilities, such as internet and electricity much easier.

No, not unless you are buying property in the Maritime Terrestrial Zone (200m from the median tide line), where foreigners can only own 49% of the concession rights. Otherwise, a Costa Rican partner is not required to buy land in Costa Rica, nor are any restrictions in place that specifically apply to foreigners when purchasing property.

Quote from Article 45 of the Constitution of Costa Rica

Yes. Foreigners who purchase real estate in Costa Rica have the same equal rights under Costa Rica Law to buy and own property as Costa Rican citizens do. Property can be purchased in your personal name, but it is not recommended due to liability concerns.

The most common practice is to purchase property in the name of a newly registered Costa Rica corporation, which can be owned by you, or another foreign corporation/LLC- limited liability company.

Generally yes, as tourist dollars are of great importance to drug cartels. Gang activity is usually kept out of tourist areas, but high-end beach clubs at times can attract a bad crowd. If renting a condo in Tulum, do note that many are located in the jungle, and unlike Playa del Carmen, walking around after the sun goes down is not recommended.

They’re like apples and oranges. Tulum’s hotel zone is your ticket to a lavish beachside chill session. On the flip side, if you’re planning a spree of day trips or if your budget’s on a leash, Tulum Town is where it’s at.

The Kore Tulum Retreat and Spa Resort and Amansala Yoga And Wellness Resort are the only all-inclusives with locations on Tulum Beach. The Secrets Tulum Resort has a jungle location near Aldea Zama, but you need to take a shuttle to their beach club. The Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa is quite popular, but it’s located outside of Tulum past the Mayan Ruins and Cenote Tankah.

For now, Cancun International Airport is the best option, but the New Tulum Airport is on schedule to have domestic flights from five major cities in Mexico starting December 2023. International flights are expected in April 2024 with Delta Airlines announcing flights from Atlanta, and Aeromexico having options from New York, San Francisco, and Toronto.

Taxis or private transfers from Cancun (CUN) can take around 1.5 hours, while a shared shuttle or ADO bus is normally 2.0-3.0 hours. Once the Maya Tren goes live in December, it will be the fastest way from Cancun to Tulum.

For now, you’ll need to arrive at Cancun International Airport (CUN) while Tulum TQO (not TUY) is still under construction. On December 1, 2023, domestic flights within Mexico will be available on Aeromexico and Viva Aerobus. Delta has also announced flights from Atlanta (ATL) starting on March 28, 2024.

No. Soon, but not yet. As of October 2023, the Tulum International Airport (TQO) is only 65% complete, but eyeing a December 2023 launch for flights within Mexico. For now, travelers should prepare for Cancun International arrivals and seek out transportation to Tulum such as a private shuttle, ADO bus, or rental car.

About 20 km (around 12.5 miles) south of Tulum. The Tren Maya will stop have an airport stop at TQO with a drop-off in the city center (Tulum Pueblo).

Doner kebabs are either plated dishes or grilled meat placed on sandwich bread, while Durum kebab use wrapped flatbread like lavash or yufka.

The literal meaning of durum in Turkish is roll or wrap. A thin flatbread such as lavash or yufka is generally used in Turkey and it makes it very easy to hold in your hand when it’s stuffed with vegetables and various types of sauces.

Doner is a specific type of kebab that is made of meat pressed into the shape of an inverted cone that is slow-cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The outer layer is then sliced into thin shavings as it cooks which are then added to a plated dish or sandwich bread.

Kebaps are most often made with beef or lamb, but some offer chicken grilled on skewers as well.

The doner kebap originated in the Ottoman Empire. It started out as the cag kebab, stacks of seasoned sliced meat cooked on a horizontal rotisserie, which dates back to the 17th century. 

Bursa, which is just south of Istanbul is thought to be the birthplace of the vertical rotisserie used for today’s modern doner kebap. Its believed that it was invented sometime in the 19th century by Iskender Efendi of Iskender kebap fame or possibly Hamdi Usta from Kastamonu.

There’s nothing definitive in history, as the use of fire for cooking (790,000+ years ago) predates the pen and paper by many moons. In the Kitab al-Tabikh, a 10th-century Baghdadi cookbook there are descriptions of kabāb as cut-up meat, either fried in a pan or grilled over a fire. Stone supports for skewers however were unearthed in excavations of the ancient Minoan settlement of Akrotiri.

The ancient Indian text of Mahabharata and even Homer’s Iliad also mentioned pieces of meat roasted on spits which could be kebaps. Meat kebabs were also believed to have been grilled on swords by Nomadic tribesmen. In 17th-century Turkey, Evliya Celebi, an Ottoman journeyman, describes the kebeb as a horizontal bundle of meat which is long before the vertically skewed, Iskender Kebap, was made famous in the 19th century. 

So while there’s no definitive answer, kebaps have most likely been around a very, very long time. 

The vertical rotisserie was invented in the 19th-century Ottoman Empire and soon spread around the world. The Greek gyro, the Arab shawarma, Mexican al pastor, and Canadian donair are all kebap variations that use this type of rotisserie.

Though a surgical procedure, hair transplants are relatively easy and only involve two steps. First, the surgeon takes hair from your healthy areas and then transfers it to the bald ones. The best areas for hair extraction, are in the back of your head. If that’s not possible, the doctor will then focus on retrieving hair follicles from other parts of your body.

Telogen Effluvium is a rare condition that is generally caused by numerous external factors. You will need to see a surgeon who specialist who can diagnose the root causes of your condition in order to ensure a successful hair transplant.

Yes.  Low-quality hair grafts are generally the cause of limited donor areas or inexperienced doctors. Be sure you get a qualified evaluation and select a certified hair transplant clinic to reduce this risk.

Yes. Improper post hair transplant care can also cause hair loss, so be sure to follow your doctor’s directions to the letter during the recovery process.

A small percentage of graft rejection is expected after a hair transplant. This loss is permanent due to the body’s immune system rejecting the transplant. The ARTAS Robotic System helps reduce this possibility, as does booking with a certified hair transplant clinic.

Shock hair loss is caused by the trauma of hair transplant surgery and usually occurs within 1-5 weeks after your procedure. This is only a temporary condition though and your hair will grow back in a normal cycle.

There are three main causes of hair loss after transplants that are due to shock, graft rejection, and post-transplant hair care. Two other causes are low-quality donor grafts, and telogen effluvium.

Yes. The transplanted hair will conform to the same shedding cycle as normal hair, which consists of the three stages; anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. Aside from this, there will hair loss specifically related to the transplant, which can consist of shock hair loss, graft rejection, and improper hair transplant aftercare.

The answer to this question depends on the size of the bald/ hair thinning area. Each hair transplant session means the extraction of around 3000 – 4000 hair grafts. If it’s a large area that requires more grafts, then one surgery might not be enough. Two, even three hair transplant procedures might be required if you require 6000-8000+ hair grafts.

Until the new Tulum (TUY) Airport is operational, Cancun International Airport (CUN) is the best option. It not only offers the closest proximity to Tulum but also hosts a vast array of international flights.

Booking a private transfer, shared shuttle, or boarding the ADO bus directly from the Cancun International Airport offer are the best options for Cancun airport transport. Once the new Maya Train is operational in December 2023, however, it will be faster and cheaper than all but the bus.

Only after December 1st, 2023 will you be be to take domestic flights directly into Tulum, using the new minted TUY Airport, while international flights are expected to start in April 2024. In the meantime, the best alterative option is flying into Cancun (CUN).

Currently, yes until the Tulum Airport is finished, most passengers will book tickets to Cancun International and take a bus or private transfer to their Tulum hotel or vacation rental. Other nearby airports in Quintana Roo can be found in tourist destinations such as Cozumel, Merida, or Chetumal but require longer and more costly journeys.

Cancun International (CUN) is the superior choice given its shorter travel time of 1.5-2 hours by car. Cozumel requires a longer journey of about 3 hours, which includes a ferry ride to Playa del Carmen before taking the Federal Highway to Tulum.

As of now, no. Most private jet services choose to land in either Cancun or Cozumel. However, a luxurious Tulum Airport is on the horizon, with plans to inaugurate domestic flights in December 2023.

Yes, but this will not be budget-friendly until the new airport in Tulum is fully operational in April 2024. Given the likelihood of landing at Cancun Airport, a two-hour taxi ride to Tulum could cost upwards of $150-$200. Booking an ADO bus ticket for $20 or the forthcoming Mayan Train set to start operations in December is more feasible. Pre-booking a shared or private transfer is also a more cost-effective solution.

It’s roughly 75 miles or around 120 kilometers with a journey spanning anywhere from 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes depending on construction and tourist season traffic.

While Cozumel International Airport might be the nearest to Tulum in terms of direct distance, the Cancun International Airport offers a quicker transit, clocking in at about 1.5-2 hours. However, the travel landscape is set for a significant shift with the inauguration of a new international airport in Tulum. This facility is slated to commence domestic operations on December 1st, 2023, and will usher in international flights by April 2024, promising a substantial reduction in travel time.

As the crow flies, it’s only 50 miles (82 km), but it will require a complicated 2.5-3 hour journey as the Island of Cozumel has no connection to the mainland other than via ferry.

Currently, the answer is no. The much-anticipated Tulum Airport is projected to open its doors between December 2023 and April 2024, though a concrete date remains elusive. Until this development materializes, travelers will need to book flights to alternative airports like Cancun, Cozumel, Merida, or Chetumal and then orchestrate onward transportation to Tulum.

Milan is the fashion capital of Italy; the Italian equivalent of Paris, France.

No, it is, however, the capital of the Lombardy region of Italy; the most populous, richest and most productive region in the country.

You’ll find Milan in the Lombardy region on the northern tip of Italy’s boot. You can draw a line south from Lugano, past the Switzerland border. and through Lake Como into Milan. In a westerly line can find it to be parallel to Verona and Venice, just southwest of Bergamo.

The metropolitan area of Milan has a population of 3.26 million with 1.4 million of those living in the city proper. Milan is also the second-most populous city in Italy with only Rome, at 4.3 million, having more people.

Yes, Milan/Milano is most definitely a city in Italy; and with 3.26 million inhabitants, it’s only second to Rome in population. If you thought it might have been in France, this may simply be because it’s the fashion capital of Italy, and is sometimes mistaken for its Paris counterpart.

Yes, Milan/Milano is located in the Lombardy region near the tip of Italy’s boot, and the Switzerland border.

You’ll find Milan/Milano in the Italian Republic; the country of Italy/Italia.

You’ll find Milan in the Lombardy region on the northern tip of Italy’s boot, southwest of Bergamo and directly south of Lake Como and the Switzerland border.

Milan/Milano is located in northern Italy in the Lombardy region. It’s so north in fact, that the Switzerland border is but a short 166 km drive away.

For starters, Milan is the fashion capital of Italy, so if you’re talking Gucci or Armani, you’re talking about Milan fashion. It’s also the economic heart of Italy with many titans of the financial industry being headquarters here. Leonardo Da Vinci also spent many of his years in Milan leaving many tourist attractions behind like his famous Last Supper painting and the murals in Duomo di Milano. His famous Codex of Templar fame is also located in Milan as are many of his inventions. On top of that, there’s FC Inter Milano, the most famous football club in Italy!

No, but there’s more to the story than that. It was only in 1871 that all the provinces of Italy were unified with Rome being named the capital of the Kingdom of Italy.  In 1946, the monarchy was disbanded and the name changed to the Italian Republic or Italy as we know it today.  Milan, however, existed centuries before in 222 BC and was known then by its Latin name of Mediolanum. The city served as the capital of the Western Roman Empire, the Duchy of Milan, and the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia.

You’ll find Milan/Milano on the northern tip of Italy’s boot, just southwest of Bergamo. If you’re wondering in relation to Venice, it’s in parallel with the canal city directly west across Italy. You can also draw a straight line down from Lugano, across the Switzerland border, and through Lake Como to Milan. To the southwest, you’ll find Torino almost an equal distance away from Milan as Verona is to the east.

Other fun activities include snorkeling and horseback riding in Ocotal, along with Diamonte theme park and near the Rui Guanacaste. Attractions like Rincon de la Viejo and Palo Verde within an easy day trip.

No, but fitness enthusiasts have several Coco gyms and even a few dance studios that are either on the main beach road or very close to the main strip near the bars and restaurants.

Hygiene and sanitation measures are typically before and after every guest’s stay. Some properties might include the perk of a mid-stay cleaning. If not drop a note in their special requests box, message the property directly, or contact a local maid service who can clean your condo for $20-$40.

The expected arrival time for guests is usually around 3 pm and check out around 11 am. Many Airbnb hosts will accommodate flexible arrivals and late departures if needed. For greater flexible availability, don’t forget to get confirmation of times and dates well in advance.

Look for rental units that provide contact details and are managed by people who actually live in them.

If you need more comfortable places to sleep for guests, seek out those who offer extra beds and linens or free toiletries.

Though a surgical procedure, hair transplants are relatively easy and only involve two steps. First, the surgeon takes hair from your healthy areas and then transfers it to the bald ones. The best areas for hair extraction, are in the back of your head. If that’s not possible, the doctor will then focus on retrieving hair follicles from other parts of your body.

Prices for a comprehensive medical check-up in Istanbul start from $150 for a standard assessment package. When adding in all-inclusive VIP options such as designated guides and consultants, accommodation and transportation prices can max out around $750.

Depending on the assessment package you choose, you’ll receive several different tests during your medical check-up in Istanbul, including:

• Chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, and abdominal ultrasound
• Heart, liver, and kidney functions
• Blood count and sedimentation
• Cholesterol levels and thyroid test
• Full urine analysis and hepatitis test

A medical assessment can determine your risk of cardiovascular disease and preventable diseases like type 2 diabetes. Check-up testing will also highlight underlying issues such as high cholesterol, anemia, over or underactive thyroid, and autoimmune disorders.

First up, you’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise and fast for at least 12 hours prior to your medical assessment appointment, while consuming no food, water, or supplements. As well as no alcohol consumption for three days prior.

Comfortable attire with clothing and shoes fit for physical activity testing should be worn to your appointment.  Medical staff must be advised upon arrival of any prescribed medications, pregnancies, or suspected pregnancies, while any previous assessment results should be presented at this time.

Women should schedule their assessment so it does not coincide with their menstruation cycle.

Telogen Effluvium is a rare condition that is generally caused by numerous external factors. You will need to see a surgeon who specialist who can diagnose the root causes of your condition in order to ensure a successful hair transplant.

Yes.  Low-quality hair grafts are generally the cause of limited donor areas or inexperienced doctors. Be sure you get a qualified evaluation and select a certified hair transplant clinic to reduce this risk.

Yes. Improper post hair transplant care can also cause hair loss, so be sure to follow your doctor’s directions to the letter during the recovery process.

A small percentage of graft rejection is expected after a hair transplant. This loss is permanent due to the body’s immune system rejecting the transplant. The ARTAS Robotic System helps reduce this possibility, as does booking with a certified hair transplant clinic.

Shock hair loss is caused by the trauma of hair transplant surgery and usually occurs within 1-5 weeks after your procedure. This is only a temporary condition though and your hair will grow back in a normal cycle.

There are three main causes of hair loss after transplants that are due to shock, graft rejection, and post-transplant hair care. Two other causes are low-quality donor grafts, and telogen effluvium.

Yes. The transplanted hair will conform to the same shedding cycle as normal hair, which consists of the three stages; anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. Aside from this, there will hair loss specifically related to the transplant, which can consist of shock hair loss, graft rejection, and improper hair transplant aftercare.

The answer to this question depends on the size of the bald/ hair thinning area. Each hair transplant session means the extraction of around 3000 – 4000 hair grafts. If it’s a large area that requires more grafts, then one surgery might not be enough. Two, even three hair transplant procedures might be required if you require 6000-8000+ hair grafts.

Generally, you can just minus a US women’s shoe size by 1.5 or 2 to get the youth size. For example, a 4.5-5in women’s shoes is equivalent to a size 3 in youth, while a women’s 5-5.5 is a size 3.5 for youths.

Italians use EU standard shoe sizes, where both men and women from the UK can simply add 33 to 35 to their size back home to get their European shoe size.

For example, a men’s Italian size 36 in the UK size is a 3. Or 3 + 33 = 36. As shoe sizes get higher in number, you have to increase the number to 34 (sizes 6-9) or 35 (sizes 10-12).

Ensure you pack everything you need in-flight inside your carry-on bag while ensuring it does not exceed 5 kg or contain any prohibited objects. Pack everything else in your checked luggage while also ensuring there are no dangerous objects within.

For check-in and security control, keep all of your travel documents in a secure, but easy-to-reach pocket or bag.

Furthermore, be courteous, patient, and respectful with all Milan MXP Airport staff. Even when you’re in a hurry, be prepared to kindly answer any question the check-in desk, passport, and baggage control might ask you.

You should arrive at MXP airport at least 2-3 hours prior to departure so you can check in your luggage soon after the desk opens. Getting your boarding pass and navigating through passport control could take approximately 30-90 minutes.

The airport also has 76 departure gates, so you might need to add an extra 10-20 minutes after passing through customs to get to your flight.

Milan is the fashion capital of Italy; the Italian equivalent of Paris, France.

No, it is, however, the capital of the Lombardy region of Italy; the most populous, richest and most productive region in the country.

You’ll find Milan in the Lombardy region on the northern tip of Italy’s boot. You can draw a line south from Lugano, past the Switzerland border. and through Lake Como into Milan. In a westerly line can find it to be parallel to Verona and Venice, just southwest of Bergamo.

The metropolitan area of Milan has a population of 3.26 million with 1.4 million of those living in the city proper. Milan is also the second-most populous city in Italy with only Rome, at 4.3 million, having more people.

Yes, Milan/Milano is most definitely a city in Italy; and with 3.26 million inhabitants, it’s only second to Rome in population. If you thought it might have been in France, this may simply be because it’s the fashion capital of Italy, and is sometimes mistaken for its Paris counterpart.

Yes, Milan/Milano is located in the Lombardy region near the tip of Italy’s boot, and the Switzerland border.

You’ll find Milan/Milano in the Italian Republic; the country of Italy/Italia.

You’ll find Milan in the Lombardy region on the northern tip of Italy’s boot, southwest of Bergamo and directly south of Lake Como and the Switzerland border.

Milan/Milano is located in northern Italy in the Lombardy region. It’s so north in fact, that the Switzerland border is but a short 166 km drive away.

For starters, Milan is the fashion capital of Italy, so if you’re talking Gucci or Armani, you’re talking about Milan fashion. It’s also the economic heart of Italy with many titans of the financial industry being headquarters here. Leonardo Da Vinci also spent many of his years in Milan leaving many tourist attractions behind like his famous Last Supper painting and the murals in Duomo di Milano. His famous Codex of Templar fame is also located in Milan as are many of his inventions. On top of that, there’s FC Inter Milano, the most famous football club in Italy!

No, but there’s more to the story than that. It was only in 1871 that all the provinces of Italy were unified with Rome being named the capital of the Kingdom of Italy.  In 1946, the monarchy was disbanded and the name changed to the Italian Republic or Italy as we know it today.  Milan, however, existed centuries before in 222 BC and was known then by its Latin name of Mediolanum.

While there are many to choose from, any top hair transplant surgeon list should include Dr. John P. Cole in Atlanta, Dr. Alan J. Bauman in Boca Raton, and Dr. Ken Anderson, also in Atlanta. All of these hair restoration specialists have had numerous accolades and achievement awards in their names, along with hundreds of satisfied hair transplant recipient reviews.

For our money, it’s the Cole Isolation Technique or the FUE CIT® performed by Dr. John Cole at the ForHair Clinic in Atlanta, Georgia. The CIT method maximizes hair density while minimizing scarring during hair transplant operations. The 97% yield for hair grafts is also more than Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) method and the Sapphire FUE technique can offer.

The general opinion has Dr. Mark Tam in London as one of the most sought-after FUE hair transplant surgeons in UK. Dr. Tam has received several awards and his accreditations for hairline and frontal area work include being voted the #1 Hair Transplant Surgeon in London for 3 consecutive years.

Until the new Tulum (TUY) Airport is operational, Cancun International Airport (CUN) is the best option. It not only offers the closest proximity to Tulum but also hosts a vast array of international flights.

Booking a private transfer, shared shuttle, or boarding the ADO bus directly from the Cancun International Airport offer are the best options for Cancun airport transport. Once the new Maya Train is operational in December 2023, however, it will be faster and cheaper than all but the bus.

Only after December 1st, 2023 will you be be to take domestic flights directly into Tulum, using the new minted TUY Airport, while international flights are expected to start in April 2024. In the meantime, the best alterative option is flying into Cancun (CUN).

Currently, yes until the Tulum Airport is finished, most passengers will book tickets to Cancun International and take a bus or private transfer to their Tulum hotel or vacation rental. Other nearby airports in Quintana Roo can be found in tourist destinations such as Cozumel, Merida, or Chetumal but require longer and more costly journeys.

Cancun International (CUN) is the superior choice given its shorter travel time of 1.5-2 hours by car. Cozumel requires a longer journey of about 3 hours, which includes a ferry ride to Playa del Carmen before taking the Federal Highway to Tulum.

As of now, no. Most private jet services choose to land in either Cancun or Cozumel. However, a luxurious Tulum Airport is on the horizon, with plans to inaugurate domestic flights in December 2023.

Yes, but this will not be budget-friendly until the new airport in Tulum is fully operational in April 2024. Given the likelihood of landing at Cancun Airport, a two-hour taxi ride to Tulum could cost upwards of $150-$200. Booking an ADO bus ticket for $20 or the forthcoming Mayan Train set to start operations in December is more feasible. Pre-booking a shared or private transfer is also a more cost-effective solution.

It’s roughly 75 miles or around 120 kilometers with a journey spanning anywhere from 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes depending on construction and tourist season traffic.

While Cozumel International Airport might be the nearest to Tulum in terms of direct distance, the Cancun International Airport offers a quicker transit, clocking in at about 1.5-2 hours. However, the travel landscape is set for a significant shift with the inauguration of a new international airport in Tulum. This facility is slated to commence domestic operations on December 1st, 2023, and will usher in international flights by April 2024, promising a substantial reduction in travel time.

As the crow flies, it’s only 50 miles (82 km), but it will require a complicated 2.5-3 hour journey as the Island of Cozumel has no connection to the mainland other than via ferry.

Currently, the answer is no. The much-anticipated Tulum Airport is projected to open its doors between December 2023 and April 2024, though a concrete date remains elusive. Until this development materializes, travelers will need to book flights to alternative airports like Cancun, Cozumel, Merida, or Chetumal and then orchestrate onward transportation to Tulum.

No, it remains a work in progress, but the ribbon-cutting ceremony is slated for December 1, 2023, with Viva Aerobus being the first airline out of the gates.

The closest airport is Cancun International which connects to a multitude of global hotspots, from New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto to London, Paris, Rome, Madrid, and Paris. Taxis or private transfers from Cancun (CUN) can take around 1.5 hours, while a shared shuttle or ADO bus is normally 2.0-3.0 hours. Once the Maya Tren goes live in December, it will be the fastest way from Cancun to Tulum.

For now, you’ll need to arrive at Cancun International Airport (CUN) while Tulum TQO (not TUY) is still under construction. On December 1, 2023, domestic flights within Mexico will be available on Aeromexico and Viva Aerobus. Delta has also announced flights from Atlanta (ATL) starting on March 28, 2024.

No. Soon, but not yet. As of October 2023, the Tulum International Airport (TQO) is only 65% complete, but eyeing a December 2023 launch for flights within Mexico. For now, travelers should prepare for Cancun International arrivals and seek out transportation to Tulum such as a private shuttle, ADO bus, or rental car.

About 20 km (around 12.5 miles) south of Tulum. The Tren Maya will stop have an airport stop at TQO with a drop-off in the city center (Tulum Pueblo). For a beach hotel destination, your best option would be to take a taxi from the Tulum train station or hire a private transfer to meet you in person at Tulum Airport.

Cancun International Airport is the most convenient airport for traveling to Playa del Carmen, and the rest of the Yucatan Peninsula in Quintana Roo including Puerto Morelos, Puerto Aventuras, and Tulum. While Cozumel Airport is also very close to PDC, it’s situated on an island and requires taking a scheduled ferry.

Imagine stepping off your plane in Cancun and hopping directly on a train that visits all the popular tourist destinations along the Mexican Caribbean. Forget the hours spent figuring out transport to Playa del Carmen or Tulum. Bid adieu to shelingl out big bucks for tours to wonders like Chichen Itza or Palenque. This train promises not only convenience but also a safe, affordable alternative to other pricier transport options.

According to the National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism (Fonatur), average ticket prices will be somewhere between $40-$50, or 800-1,000 MNX. The distance traveled and who you are (local, domestic, or international tourist) will play a part in the final price tag, with local passengers snagging the best deals.

As of now, these Maya train tickets remain elusive, but it’s expected to start operating on December 1, 2023. Once this date is confirmed, the official Tren Maya Website and Facebook Page will guide you to where you can secure your seat.

Yes, once you touch down at CUN, you’ll be just an 8-minute electric minibus away from boarding the Maya Train. From there, the historical wonders of Quintana Roo, the Yucatan, Campeche, and Chiapas are ready and waiting to be explored.

About 20 km (around 12.5 miles) south of Tulum. The Tren Maya will stop have an airport stop at TQO with a drop-off in the city center (Tulum Pueblo). For a beach hotel destination, your best option would be to take a taxi from the Tulum train station or hire a private transfer to meet you in person at Tulum Airport.

Generally yes, as tourist dollars are of great importance to drug cartels. Gang activity is usually kept out of tourist areas, but high-end beach clubs at times can attract a bad crowd. If renting a condo in Tulum, do note that many are located in the jungle, and unlike Playa del Carmen, walking around after the sun goes down is not recommended.

They’re like apples and oranges. Tulum’s hotel zone is your ticket to a lavish beachside chill session. On the flip side, if you’re planning a spree of day trips or if your budget’s on a leash, Tulum Town is where it’s at.

The Kore Tulum Retreat and Spa Resort and Amansala Yoga And Wellness Resort are the only all-inclusives with locations on Tulum Beach. The Secrets Tulum Resort has a jungle location near Aldea Zama, but you need to take a shuttle to their beach club.

Go hiking to Playa Gringo or up Cacique Hill to watch the sunset or visit the Monkey Farm in Ocotal. Rent bikes and go cycling around Coco or Ocotal. Take a boat tour for scuba diving, snorkeling, or for relaxing and see the beautiful beaches of Playa Penca, Playa Huevos, and Playa Nacascolo.

There are tour companies that have a half-day or a full-day trip to experience wildlife, waterfalls, and Costa Rican culture. Tours should be booked in advance to get the date you want, and it is usually cheaper for payment to be in cash.

The recommended path is to make your purchase through a newly registered Costa Rica corporation. This will add a liability protection barrier, and allow for easier ownership transfer in your living will.

Yes, but you’ll have to clear customs if you won’t want to shop at the airport. The HVIST-6 to Halkali will take you first to the Mall of Istanbul in about 30-40 minutes and then the ArenaPark Mall in about 40-50 minutes.  You can also take the HVIST-7 to Beylikduzu which will take you to the Marmara Park Shopping Mall in about 60-70 minutes. If it’s street shopping you’re after you can take the HVIST-14 to Taksim and just walk right on to Iskital Avenue, one of the most famous streets in all of Istanbul.

Yes, but you’ll have to purchase two tickets as there are no transfers, or you can meet the bus take the bus directly from the mall. The two last stops on the HVIST-6 from Halkali are ArenaPark Mall and the Mall of Istanbul, which will require 30-50 minutes from there to the airport.  The HVIST-7 from Beylikduzu comes directly from Marmara Park Shopping Mall and is about 60-70 minutes away.

No, the HavaIST is an airport shuttle bus, but you can connect with the sightseeing Big Bus at all major tourist attractions. If you’re on a layover, you can take the HVIST-14 directly to Taksim Square where you can easily walk to Iskital Street or the Galata Tower. For Sultanahmet, the closest option is the HVIST-12 to Beyazit Square, which a 1.5 km taxi ride away from Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace.  If you wanted to see Dolmabalche Palace, the HVIST-13 will drop you off just a short walk away at Bakirkoy Pier.

If you’re wondering, what is the HavaIST Bus, or why it’s called that, it’s simply a play on words. Havalimani means airport in Turkish, with Hava being a slang short form, while IST is simply the designated IATA airport code of the New Istanbul Airport. Put the two words together and you get the HavaIST shuttle bus

There are 105 airport shuttle buses in the HavaIST fleet that transports passengers of the New Istanbul Airport to and from various points in the city.  Some of the more popular routes go through Taksim, Kadikoy, Besiktas, and Bakirkoy.

Unfortunately, this is a rare occurrence, as in the last ten years, it’s only come close once. On December 25th, 2018, it was a cold and rainy day with a high of 7°C (44°F). The temperature did dip to 4°C (39°F) in the early morning, but it was only sprinkles of light rain with no white fluffy stuff to carpet the ground.

Doner kebabs are either plated dishes or grilled meat placed on sandwich bread, while Durum kebab use wrapped flatbread like lavash or yufka.

The literal meaning of durum in Turkish is roll or wrap. A thin flatbread such as lavash or yufka is generally used in Turkey and it makes it very easy to hold in your hand when it’s stuffed with vegetables and various types of sauces.

Doner is a specific type of kebab that is made of meat pressed into the shape of an inverted cone that is slow-cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The outer layer is then sliced into thin shavings as it cooks which are then added to a plated dish or sandwich bread.

Kebaps are most often made with beef or lamb, but some offer chicken grilled on skewers as well.

The doner kebap originated in the Ottoman Empire. It started out as the cag kebab, stacks of seasoned sliced meat cooked on a horizontal rotisserie, which dates back to the 17th century. 

Bursa, which is just south of Istanbul is thought to be the birthplace of the vertical rotisserie used for today’s modern doner kebap. Its believed that it was invented sometime in the 19th century by Iskender Efendi of Iskender kebap fame or possibly Hamdi Usta from Kastamonu.

There’s nothing definitive in history, as the use of fire for cooking (790,000+ years ago) predates the pen and paper by many moons. In the Kitab al-Tabikh, a 10th-century Baghdadi cookbook there are descriptions of kabāb as cut-up meat, either fried in a pan or grilled over a fire. Stone supports for skewers however were unearthed in excavations of the ancient Minoan settlement of Akrotiri.

The ancient Indian text of Mahabharata and even Homer’s Iliad also mentioned pieces of meat roasted on spits which could be kebaps. Meat kebabs were also believed to have been grilled on swords by Nomadic tribesmen. In 17th-century Turkey, Evliya Celebi, an Ottoman journeyman, describes the kebeb as a horizontal bundle of meat which is long before the vertically skewed, Iskender Kebap, was made famous in the 19th century. 

So while there’s no definitive answer, kebaps have most likely been around a very, very long time. 

The vertical rotisserie was invented in the 19th-century Ottoman Empire and soon spread around the world. The Greek gyro, the Arab shawarma, Mexican al pastor, and Canadian donair are all kebap variations that use this type of rotisserie.

Until the new Tulum (TUY) Airport is operational, Cancun International Airport (CUN) is the best option. It not only offers the closest proximity to Tulum but also hosts a vast array of international flights.

Booking a private transfer, shared shuttle, or boarding the ADO bus directly from the Cancun International Airport offer are the best options for Cancun airport transport. Once the new Maya Train is operational in December 2023, however, it will be faster and cheaper than all but the bus.

Only after December 1st, 2023 will you be be to take domestic flights directly into Tulum, using the new minted TUY Airport, while international flights are expected to start in April 2024. In the meantime, the best alterative option is flying into Cancun (CUN).

Currently, yes until the Tulum Airport is finished, most passengers will book tickets to Cancun International and take a bus or private transfer to their Tulum hotel or vacation rental. Other nearby airports in Quintana Roo can be found in tourist destinations such as Cozumel, Merida, or Chetumal but require longer and more costly journeys.

Cancun International (CUN) is the superior choice given its shorter travel time of 1.5-2 hours by car. Cozumel requires a longer journey of about 3 hours, which includes a ferry ride to Playa del Carmen before taking the Federal Highway to Tulum.

As of now, no. Most private jet services choose to land in either Cancun or Cozumel. However, a luxurious Tulum Airport is on the horizon, with plans to inaugurate domestic flights in December 2023.

Yes, but this will not be budget-friendly until the new airport in Tulum is fully operational in April 2024. Given the likelihood of landing at Cancun Airport, a two-hour taxi ride to Tulum could cost upwards of $150-$200. Booking an ADO bus ticket for $20 or the forthcoming Mayan Train set to start operations in December is more feasible. Pre-booking a shared or private transfer is also a more cost-effective solution.

It’s roughly 75 miles or around 120 kilometers with a journey spanning anywhere from 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes depending on construction and tourist season traffic.

While Cozumel International Airport might be the nearest to Tulum in terms of direct distance, the Cancun International Airport offers a quicker transit, clocking in at about 1.5-2 hours. However, the travel landscape is set for a significant shift with the inauguration of a new international airport in Tulum. This facility is slated to commence domestic operations on December 1st, 2023, and will usher in international flights by April 2024, promising a substantial reduction in travel time.

As the crow flies, it’s only 50 miles (82 km), but it will require a complicated 2.5-3 hour journey as the Island of Cozumel has no connection to the mainland other than via ferry.

Currently, the answer is no. The much-anticipated Tulum Airport is projected to open its doors between December 2023 and April 2024, though a concrete date remains elusive. Until this development materializes, travelers will need to book flights to alternative airports like Cancun, Cozumel, Merida, or Chetumal and then orchestrate onward transportation to Tulum.

Imagine stepping off your plane in Cancun and hopping directly on a train that visits all the popular tourist destinations along the Mexican Caribbean. Forget the hours spent figuring out transport to Playa del Carmen or Tulum. Bid adieu to shelingl out big bucks for tours to wonders like Chichen Itza or Palenque. This train promises not only convenience but also a safe, affordable alternative to other pricier transport options.

According to the National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism (Fonatur), average ticket prices will be somewhere between $40-$50, or 800-1,000 MNX. The distance traveled and who you are (local, domestic, or international tourist) will play a part in the final price tag, with local passengers snagging the best deals.

As of now, these Maya train tickets remain elusive, but it’s expected to start operating on December 1, 2023. Once this date is confirmed, the official Tren Maya Website and Facebook Page will guide you to where you can secure your seat.

Yes, once you touch down at CUN, you’ll be just an 8-minute electric minibus away from boarding the Maya Train. From there, the historical wonders of Quintana Roo, the Yucatan, Campeche, and Chiapas are ready and waiting to be explored.

Straight from the horse’s mouth: it’s a mere eight minutes on the electric minibus. This zippy little route skirts the fringes of the Cancun Airport property, meaning you won’t be held hostage by pesky traffic jams.

The journey will take an impressive 1 hour and 30 minutes when all is up and running in December. To put it in perspective, that’s a drastic cut of 2.5 hours from the grueling four-hour car journey.

Yes. A flat floor layout provides inclusivity for those with limited mobility. Plus, thoughtful touches like storage for wheelchairs and accessible restroom facilities ensure everyone can journey with ease.

The closest airport is Cancun International which connects to a multitude of global hotspots, from New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto to London, Paris, Rome, Madrid, and Paris. Taxis or private transfers from Cancun (CUN) can take around 1.5 hours, while a shared shuttle or ADO bus is normally 2.0-3.0 hours. Once the Maya Tren goes live in December, it will be the fastest way from Cancun to Tulum.

For now, you’ll need to arrive at Cancun International Airport (CUN) while Tulum TQO (not TUY) is still under construction. On December 1, 2023, domestic flights within Mexico will be available on Aeromexico and Viva Aerobus. Delta has also announced flights from Atlanta (ATL) starting on March 28, 2024.

No. Soon, but not yet. As of October 2023, the Tulum International Airport (TQO) is only 65% complete, but eyeing a December 2023 launch for flights within Mexico. For now, travelers should prepare for Cancun International arrivals and seek out transportation to Tulum such as a private shuttle, ADO bus, or rental car.

About 20 km (around 12.5 miles) south of Tulum. The Tren Maya will stop have an airport stop at TQO with a drop-off in the city center (Tulum Pueblo). For a beach hotel destination, your best option would be to take a taxi from the Tulum train station or hire a private transfer to meet you in person at Tulum Airport.
