If you could host any celebrity, who would it be and why?

[Elisa]

Hello everyone 😊,

I hope you’re having a great week!

Hosting often brings unexpected and memorable encounters, but it’s interesting to imagine who we would choose to welcome into our space. A celebrity guest could bring a completely different energy, whether it’s through inspiring conversations, unique habits, or simply a different perspective on travel and comfort. 

If you could host any celebrity, who would it be and why?

I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts!

Warm regards,

Hi @Muslim4 😊, 

What are Kazakhstan’s national souvenirs?

I would love to host Melinda and Bill Gates. Thank you for asking!

Hello Elisa 😊,

That’s such a fun question!

Last year, we had the pleasure of hosting Mete Gazoz, one of Türkiye’s national athletes and an Olympic gold medalist. It was truly a memorable experience very humble, respectful, and inspiring.

If I could choose a celebrity to host this year, I would love to welcome Greta Thunberg. Her advocacy, including her support for Palestinians, has really impressed me. I deeply admire her courage and commitment to standing up for what she believes in. It would be an honor to host her, and honestly, she wouldn’t even need to pay I would gladly welcome her as my guest.

Looking forward to hearing everyone else’s choices!

Warm regards,
Ayşe

Hi @Ayse147 😊, 

I’m happy you like this question!

Lucky you for hosting this athlete. Where are you hosting from?

[Ayse147]

Hi @Elisa 😊

I’m hosting from Antalya, Konyaaltı.

[Elisa]

Hi @Ayse147 😊, 

Thank you for letting me know.

I can’t wait to visit Turkey. How is your hosting season going?

[Ayse147]

Hi @Elisa ,
Thank you! 😊
We would love to host you in our homes in Antalya Konyaaltı! The hosting season has just opened here and alhamdulillah, it's going really well so far.
How about you? When are you planning to come to Türkiye? We can show you around and make sure you have a wonderful time.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Ayse

Hi @Ayse147 😊, 

Thank you for your kind reply!
I’m happy to hear the hosting season is going well.

I would love to visit Turkey in 2028, let’s see how I can plan it. How many days would you recommend for a visit?

[Ayse147]

If you’re planning a trip for 2028, here’s a brief guide on how many days you might want to spend in Türkiye:
1. Basic Tour (7–10 Days)
This tour is ideal if you want to focus on the main cultural centers:
• Istanbul (3–4 days): A must-visit to see the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque and enjoy the Bosphorus.
• Cappadocia (2–3 days): Famous for its fairy chimneys and hot air balloon tours at sunrise.
• Ephesus (2 days): One of the most impressive ancient cities on the Mediterranean.
2. Mediterranean Experience (10–14 Days)
If you want to blend history with the world’s most beautiful coastline, head south:
• Antalya Coast: Spending 7-14 days here lets you enjoy beaches in areas like Konyaaltı and explore the surrounding mountains and ruins.
• Turquoise Coast: Spending a few days in Kaş or Fethiye is perfect for boat tours and diving.
3. Grand Tour (15–21 Days)
With a three-week itinerary, you can fully experience Türkiye’s diversity, including the lush plateaus of the Black Sea region or the incredible cuisine and history of the Southeast.
Quick Tip: Aim for late spring (May/June) or early fall (September) for your 2028 trip. The weather is perfect for exploring without the intense heat of midsummer.

@Elisa I’d probably pick someone like Keanu Reeves super low-key, respectful and just seems like the kind of guest every host would want. 

[Elisa]

Hi @Priyanka102 😊, 

That’s a good one!

Is there anything in particular you’d like to ask him?

[Maria24451]

John Hamm so he can dance "Turn the Lights off" in person-LOL  Such a great guy too.

[Elisa]

Hi @Maria24451 😊, 

Thank you for sharing this here.

I don’t know this person, who is it?

[Laurelle3]

@Elisa I don't think i want to host any celebrities. I just like the guests to be the average person from wherever. The is no need to be pretentious but to be your own self. 

I don't want to create an extra something for a person who expects recognition or a special deal.

[Elisa]

Hi @Laurelle3 😊, 

It’s so nice reading from you!

I totally feel you and appreciate your point of view.

Do you have anyone you especially appreciate?

[Laurelle3]

@Elisa I like to share our cottage with families as they are able to have a holiday by the beach that they can walk to.

Yes families do create more work with little fingers and more cleaning.

But hotels don't offer the same space, a kitchen to cook in( to save money) and a small garden to play in and privacy.
