Thanks HLT1904. Eastern Europe is really a highly recommended travel destination. There are so many hidden gems in countries like Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia etc. which are all relatively undiscovered but full of amazing sights, great food - and all of it is extremely affordable.

Thanks Dover2Golf - I agree about TK, together with Air France, Aeroflot and Aegean it is among my favourite airlines to fly within Europe. I'm not 100 percent sure about this but I believe that TK serves hot meals on every flight over 2 hours in length, so many of the intra-European destinations even see much better meals than the one I just posted in the installment before. That said, it is not always great quality-wise. The meal on my FRU-IST flight was really subpar on not tasty at all.

Also business class meals are by the way great for most, even on short intra-European flights. The picture below is the breakfast on a recent one-hour-long IST-OTP flight (Turkish coffee and orange juice which I had as well not on picture).
