Since I met piggy, she has been talking about Turkey. I asked piggy, why do you want to go there? Piggy's answer is: when I knew nothing about it, I wanted to go, just because I saw 3500 special tickets. Later, we planned our honeymoon trip. Piggy's dream is to go out for a month, but the reality is that we can't take so many vacations at one time. Piggy had to give up her Turkey and Egypt“ What about Japan? " Piggy, I don't want to be asked where I'm going on my honeymoon and say it's Japan“ Which do you choose between Paris of 4500 and Istanbul of 460? " Piggy told me after struggling for an hour - Istanbul. Later, piggy began to see the strategy, ranking, hotel booking. In fact, I had to do all these things, but after experiencing the rainy weather in Guilin and Shanxi recently, piggy had lost confidence and called me travel weather killer, so she decided to do it herself. Later, we had our honeymoon trip, which started from Beijing on May 31, arrived in Istanbul on June 1, and returned from Istanbul on June 14. The itinerary is as follows: 5-31: Beijing Istanbul, 6-1: Istanbul; Yeni hostel6-2: Istanbul, night train 6-3: Cappadocia, cave Life Pension 6-4: Cappadocia, night train 6-5: manafgat Sid Antalya, Erken Konak pension 6-6: Antalya fetsiye, ten Apart Hotel 6-7: fetsiye, George house6-8: fetsiye, George house6-9, Fort cottonwood, hotel pamukkale6-10, Fort cottonwood selchuk, Vardar pension6-11, selchuk kusadas Bryan kusadas selchuk, Barim pension6-12, selchuk Izmir alachard Izmir, Stay: Olimpiyat Hotel Izmir 6-13: Izmir Istanbul, stay: Yeni hostel 6-14: Istanbul Beijing, last half a month, the total cost is less than 25000 yuan. The following two pictures show the daily itinerary and expenses. The other items refer to the allowance for buying ice cream, juice, water, going to the bathroom and so on.
The following is my and Piggy's ranking of the top ten scenic spots in this trip. The first is my: 1. Hot air balloon (Cappadocia), 2. Paraglider (fetishier), 3. Cotton fort, 4. Green line (Cappadocia), 5. Ephesus (selchuk), 6. Dead Sea Cruise (fetishier), 7. New Palace (Istanbul), 8 The road of Lycia (fetishiyah), 9, Sid, 10, bosbros Strait (Istanbul) and then Piggy's: 1. Hot air balloon (Cappadocia), 2. Paraglider (fetishiyah), 3. Cotton fort, 4. Dead Sea Cruise (fetishiyah), 5. Green line (Cappadocia), 6. Ephesus (selchuk), 7. New Palace (Istanbul), 8. The road to Lixia (fethier), 9. CALIS Beach (fethier), 10. Kola Church (Istanbul) collection of photos about various cities: Istanbul:
Cappadocia:
Antalya:
Fethier:
Cotton Fort:
Selchuk:
Izmir:
The first part is a summary of some information, while the second part is about photos, feelings and some boring or chatting nonsense
Day0: are you ready? The difference between Turkish time and Beijing time is five hours. 1. Tickets nearly two months in advance of the ticket, China Southern Airlines, direct flight, stop in Urumqi. The departure time is about 17:00 Beijing time and the arrival time is 0:20 a.m. Turkish time. The return flight takes off at about 1:45 a.m. Turkish time, and it's 18:00 when we return to Beijing. Round trip tax included 4624 per person. Official website（ http://www.flypgs.com/en/default.aspx ）Book Pegasus Airlines (Pegasus airlines, Turkey's low-cost airline) flight from Izmir to Istanbul, because the reservation is late and the price is more expensive, US $44 / person.
2. Visa because the Turkish visa can only be signed by a team, so I went to Hanye in Beijing, 850 / person, and signed it in about three weeks. Later, piggy saw that the strategy said that when he applied for a visa, he explained that he was going to honeymoon, and the two people also signed it. I don't know if it really works.
3. During the journey, piggy looked at various strategies, constantly revised the itinerary, and finally decided to go clockwise: Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya - fetishier - Cotton fort - Serchuk - Izmir.
4. Stay in booking and book a hotel. At the same time, refer to the recommendation on LP and contact George house and Barim pension. George house's mailbox faralya17@hotmail.com Originally, it was 55 lira / person / night, but in the end, it was 50 lira for us. The website of Barim's home is www.barimpension.net info@barimpension.net We sent an email, but we didn't reply. So I went directly to Serchuk to find it, saying that I haven't seen my email for a long time, and the website hasn't been updated. Piggy and I are not too concerned about the conditions of accommodation, so the reservation is affordable hotels. The final order is:

5. Travel booking: through cave life pension, where kapadocia lives, we book Kaya's hot air balloon, 120 euro / person; The green line of rose tour, 120 lira per person. The price of the green line in the whole kappa area has increased, but the quotation we heard in Istanbul is still the price before the increase. Directly through email and Fischer's Hector (mailto: Hector)- protector@hotmail.com (hector- protector@hotmail.com ））Contact paraglider matters, mainly bargaining. Paragliding, photos and videos, and the Dead Sea cruise started at 110 euro per person, cut to 100 euro, and then changed to 235 lira. The final deal was 230 lira per person. Originally, you could choose the Dead Sea cruise or the 12 Island Tour at the same price. Hector recommended the Dead Sea cruise, but later we saw from the leaflet that the price of the 12 island tour is actually more expensive, that is to say, the 12 island tour is more cost-effective. Their home website http://www.hectorparagliding.com To see more details. 6. Others have a Huaxia bank card to withdraw money from other places, free of service charge for the first time every day. It can withdraw cash from Garanti's machine, the second largest bank in Turkey, and there are Chinese operation instructions! Some euros were brought along to pay for accommodation and travel. Turkey's plug is two round feet, piggy has, do not need special preparation. Because some of the strategies said that they couldn't eat local food all the time, so they brought an electric kettle from home to cook noodles. Piggy also bought an electric kettle and some fans with it. Later, he thought it was a little cumbersome. In addition, I also bought some Chinese knots and Chinese paper cuts as small gifts for those who have helped us. Almost ready, waiting for departure~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am the boundary of ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~, as a woodlouse who has never been abroad before, and the pig who lived in England asked me without question. Are you ready to go abroad for the first time? Are you nervous? I snorted. What's so nervous about? As a result, on the day of departure, the woodlouse almost screwed up things. If not a piglet said a passport with us, our trip would be useless. Security, customs, not as strict as expected, boarding, take off! One of the most boring things to do is to photograph the clouds around you. Of course, you have to sit by the window. Of course, the window can't be too dirty. So I met the first condition, but I didn't meet the second one. It's a pity. Although we have also photographed the clouds many times, there are still some highlights this time. For example, all kinds of marshmallows, as well as the deserts and mountains
Approaching the evening, gradually approaching Urumqi, the clouds in the sky become more and more gorgeous, the biggest accident is the sudden appearance of snow mountains on the earth.
It's a new day to arrive in Istanbul. But the brightly lit city still reflects his brilliance and beauty. A strait divides the mainland into Europe and Asia, and bridges across the sea connect this continuous blood. Across Europe and Asia, across East and West, this is Turkey.
Day1: first time
1. Relax, many residents of Istanbul can speak English. It's not a problem to ask a way or buy a thing here. And the local people are also very enthusiastic. When they see that you look like a tourist or are looking for something, they will come up and ask "can I help you, my friend". With this kind intention and smile, the nerves who are always worried about being cheated and abducted in China immediately relax. 2. Transportation from Ataturk airport to the city, the most convenient is to take the subway (TRAM). Metro Line M1 starts from Ataturk airport and transfers to tram line T1 at zeytinburnu station, heading for kabatas. T1 is a very important route. Famous scenic spots such as grand bazaar, blue mosque, St. Sophia Cathedral, old palace, Yeni mosque, spice market, Galatai bridge and new palace are all near T1. The ticket price is 3 lira. You need to put in the coin again for transfer. It should be noted that line M1 will report the station in Turkish and English respectively, while line T1 will only report the station name once in Turkish when entering the station, so please listen up and don't get off the wrong station! The most prosperous mode of transportation in Turkey is the car, and there are buses between cities. It's better to buy a ticket in advance. There are many ticket outlets in the old city. Besides selling tickets, these shops also provide some tourism services. Suha's bus provides free pick-up service. Because the bus station is a long distance from the city center, their family will send a minibus to pick up passengers at the ticket sales point. If other auto companies have this service, it's better to ask clearly when buying a ticket. The long-distance bus service in Turkmenistan is very considerate. There are special service personnel to deliver water and food along the way. There are long routes (from Istanbul to Cappadocia, from Cappadocia to fetishiya), and there is a TV on every seat. Some car companies, such as Pamukkale and metro, also have WiFi in their cars. Short distance cars are usually minibuses, which are actually white vans. 3. Travel arrangements are free. But please pay attention to your clothes when you enter the mosque. Short skirts and shorts are not allowed. Please bring your own headscarf. In addition, when you enter the mosque, you need to take off your shoes. There are special plastic bags at the door for tourists to install shoes. Please make sure to visit the blue mosque early, preferably before 8:30, otherwise there will be more people immediately, most of them are tour groups. Istanbul Museum package ticket, a 72 lira ticket, you can visit Hagia Sophia Museum, Topkapi Palace Museum and harem apartments, chora Museum, archaeological museums, mosaic Museum, Galata Mevlevi House Museum Yildiz Palace Museum, museum for the history of science and technology in Islam and many other places are very cost-effective, but the validity period is only three days. So please plan your travel time. In addition, the museums included in the package will change with time, please refer to that time. Museum packages are available at the above outlets. Although the underground water palace is not far from here, it is mentioned in many strategies that there is nothing but some pillars. It is quite a pit, so I decided not to go. The old palace is the only tourist attraction in Turkey that can find a Chinese interpreter. Although the Chinese pronunciation is a bit awkward, not so perfect, but please make good use of it, the old palace did not explain is not to see why. The explanation map of the old palace is divided into 5 regions, 5 of which are harems, 3 is the treasure house, and it is also the essence of my personal opinion. When you visit the treasure house, please choose the time when there are few people, so later I think this place is suitable for the morning. 4. Food and lodging: the grilled fish fort under the Galatai bridge is very good. It's 6 lira each, with half a fish in it. It's worth tasting. The price of fresh orange juice in Turkey is good. According to the size of the cup, which ranges from 1 to 3 lira, the smallest cup can squeeze three fresh oranges and cut the price. There are pomegranate juice, taste more astringent, the price is more expensive. Pigs drank a lot along the way. The price of cherries in Turkey is very cheap. Piggy likes cherries very much. In Istanbul and Antalya, the price is 6 lira / kg. I thought it was good enough. As a result, I bought 3 lira / kg in Serchuk and Izmir. The big cherry is purple and black, and the pig is eating high! Tap water in Turkmenistan is rich in lime. If you are not used to drinking it, you can buy bottled drinking water. The 1.5-liter tap water is generally 1 lira. Some scenic spots will sell it to 2 lira. 5. Toilet charges in other countries are 1 lira. It's free in the scenic spot~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We meet again at the demarcation line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. The picture below shows all my luggage, including the one sitting on the iPad.
At 6 a.m., take subway line M1 to zeytinburnu station, then transfer to tram line T1 to reach the old city. This is the zeytinburnu station for transfer. Tucao make complaints about the transportation of the land: in Turkey, the main road is the road, so the bus station is built like the airport. In contrast, the railway station is similar to the subway station in China. As for trams, in some parts of Istanbul's old city, there are only two lanes. Therefore, trams and private cars run on the same track, and the sidewalk less than half a meter is next to them. Sometimes it is dangerous to watch people and trams pass by.
This is the first sight of the bosborough channel. Yeni Hostel, where we live, is between sirkrci and Gulhane on tram line T1. It's not far from the Strait. It's five minutes' walk to the seaside. From the blue mosque and other important scenic spots, also more than ten minutes of foot distance.
Leave your luggage in the hotel and go straight to the blue mosque. Outside the mosque, there are six big pillars.
Inside the mosque, huge dome. The interior of each mosque is almost the same, with a round dome, which is said to represent the universe.
Opposite the blue mosque is St. Sophia's Cathedral. Here not only as a church, but also as a mosque, so the internal style can find both characteristics. When we went, the interior of the church was being repaired and half of it was scaffolding. There are many famous mosaics in the church. If you are interested in learning more about them, you'd better buy a special introduction book or a tour guide.
To go to the old palace, you need to climb a hillside. The old palace is on the top of the mountain. There is an archaeological museum on the hillside. Ancient tombs, coffins and porcelain, etc. The old palace. In terms of appearance, it is much worse than the Imperial Palace in China. I think the essence is in the treasure house, while listening to the explanation, while watching a lot of luxury baby.
The old palace has a view of the bosbros channel.
This is the back palace of the old palace, where three thousand beauties once lived. In fact, it may be a better dormitory.
Istanbul street view. An old wooden house with a lot of style.
This kind of small lamp is a kind of handicraft that can be seen in the streets of Turkish cities.
Siker railway station on the side of sirkrci station on line T1. This is also the terminal of the Orient Express, which originated from Bali in the murder of Orient Express.
Take line T1 to kabatas station. This is the new town. A little further on, you can see the dormabacher mosque. In the past, it was the dormabacher palace, which is the new palace.
From here, we go up to Taksim square. It's dusk. Looking across the Strait, Asia is a golden dream.
As soon as I got off the tram, I saw some people gathering together and shouting slogans, but they were not large in scale. We thought it was a fan party. But the more we go to the square, the more people gather, and we feel more and more wrong. In the end, it was the whole street, waving the Turkish flag with Ataturk's head and shouting slogans to make sure it was the procession. For the sake of safety, piggy and I didn't continue to drill into the crowd, so we hurried down the mountain to take a bus back to the old city.
Galatai bridge, in addition to driving, there are a whole row of people fishing here every day. Under the bridge is the grilled fish shop.
A grilled fish burger for six liras.
Night fell.
Day2: Gorgeous impact
1. Travel arrangements Cora church is not big, but the mosaics are very exquisite and relatively intact (that's why piggy likes it very much). Like St. Sophia's Cathedral, they are all related to Christianity. So it's better to have a sufficient understanding of these backgrounds, and it will look more wonderful. You can buy a related book or a tour guide. Cora church is in the new city. You need to take a bus to get there. From the Galatai bridge, go west along the seaside (this side of the old city), you will see a bus terminus, where there are golden horn Bay Cruise Ships and buses to Kola church. Although it will be troublesome, it is strongly recommended to have a look. It's easy to get aesthetic fatigue when you see too many mosques, because the feeling is almost the same. In Istanbul, the blue mosque, the Yeni mosque and the Suleiman mosque, I think it is enough to see these three. 2. Food and lodging piglets strongly recommend Istanbul roast chicken, 8.5 lira, four chicken legs or five chicken wings or two chicken legs and three chicken wings. More details are provided below~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's still at the dividing line here. Originally, I wanted to take the Golden Horn Bay Cruise, then I turned to the church. When I got there, I found that the earliest flight was 10:30. I bought two grilled fish castles in the open-air stall by the sea and took the bus to Kola church. It was such a fine day yesterday that I never thought it would rain. But piggy likes the simple exterior wall of Cora Church in rainy weather.
The mosaics on the roof and walls are wonderful and well protected. Each painting tells a complete story. The church is not big, but there are many things to savor.
In addition, there is a more tragic thing. The 28-200 lens broke down gloriously here... The Yeni mosque, also known as the new mosque, is just beside the Galatai bridge. There are always pigeons and seagulls hovering over the mosque. Outside the mosque, there are also pigeons.
The grand dome of luxury and beauty.
The gate of the Yeni mosque.
From the alley next to the Yeni mosque, walk up the road to Suleiman Mosque on the top of the mountain. This is a juice shop near the mosque. Just go up the slope.
When we arrived at the Suleiman mosque, it suddenly cleared up.
The dome of the Suleiman mosque.
Walk down the hill from the mosque
Our first formal Turkish meal was in the shop here.
It's 16 lira for two. It's a cheap price. Besides, it's not far from Suleiman mosque. The barbecue in the shop is to take it to a big fireplace and make a fire with firewood. Isn't it more authentic?
Along the upper slope, you can walk all the way down to the place close to the lowest Road, which is a market composed of alleys. Here you will see the roast chicken highly recommended by piggy. 8.5 lira, four drumsticks or five wings or two drumsticks plus three wings. Don't forget, we just finished lunch, but piggy can't resist the temptation. For the first time, I naturally asked for chicken legs and wings. Four fifths of piggies who are "especially able to bear hardships" have lived up to the expectations of the public. Of course, with my help, they have been wound up.
What the market looks like.
Opposite the roast chicken is a fresh juice shop.
Piggy and I went to the spice market next. After all, the two places are very close. In fact, the spice market is next to the Yeni mosque, covering a small area, but it's really beautiful. There are all kinds of colorful goods in it, as well as the fragrance in the space. Most shop owners in the market are very enthusiastic. Even if you don't buy things, they will ask you to take some pictures. Unlike bazaari, some shops don't allow people to take photos.
Coming out of the spice market, I saw pigeons hovering around the mosque.
Day3: sleepwalking to the moon
1. The night train from Istanbul to Cappadocia takes about 12 hours. Graeme's hotels seem to offer pick-up service. When they arrive, they call and they'll pick them up. 2. We arranged a two-day trip in Cappadocia. Later, we felt that we were short of time. We should at least put another day here to find some canyons for hiking and have a good experience. Because here is too unique, too magical, too beautiful, too dreamy! If you can only choose one place to come to Turkey, then Cappadocia is the first choice. In kapadocia, the price of green line and red line increased. But when we bought tickets in Istanbul, someone came in and asked about the price of Kapa tourism. The price of green line was 40 Euro, which was lower than that of Kapa after the price increase. It is suggested that the green line and red line can be directly set in Istanbul. Although the scenic spots on the red line are relatively close, you can walk. However, considering the spicy sunshine of Kapa and the fact that the distance is not too close (for example, gremee is 4km from cavusin to pasabagi, and 3km from cavusin to pasabagi), it is suggested that if you don't want to follow the group, you'd better rent a car. 3. If you go out to play in Graeme, be sure to bring enough water~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lala, the dividing line, all the way to gremee. Cappadocia is the full name of a region, and the most famous place is the town of greme. Gremee is surrounded by volcanic hills, which are made of boulders. The local people cut the stones and made them into caves to house people. Nowadays, many cave houses have become hotels, such as cave life pension. When you get to Graeme, get out of the car and ask metro for the ticket for the next stop. The conductor asked us where we lived, and then called. Soon, the owner of the hotel came to pick us up.
When checking in, the boss specially asked us to feel the marks on the wall, emphasizing that this is a real cave house. Except for the wall with the door, all the others are chiseled out. The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature is about 20 degrees all year round.
The boss also suggested that we go to the highest viewing platform first and showed us the way. Walking up the mountain, I met a local woman who went to work there. She owned the only cafe on the top of the mountain. There is a panoramic view of gremay from the viewing platform.
On the other side, I saw all kinds of strange stones. Piggy said it's like sleepwalking, coming to such an incredible place. The white stone mountain in the distance is as charming as the cream flowers blooming on the cake.
Get off the observation deck and head for the open air museum. A small hotel at the intersection later served as a sign for us to find a hotel. Otherwise, it's really hard to find!
The open-air museum is about 1 km away from gremee. Just walk past it, which is also a point on the red line. There is also a fork in the road to Rose Valley. Walk and play all the way.
The blue evil eyes are worn by all the people in Turkey to ward off evil spirits.
This is the open-air museum. The ticket is 15 lira per person. Similarly, the stone mountain was dug into a grotto, a church, a monastery or a living room. Some Grottoes still retain incomplete murals. In order to protect them, they are not allowed to take photos.
When you come out of the open-air museum, don't forget to go to the Church of tocali diagonally opposite to see the murals. The tickets are included in the set tickets of the open-air museum. Walk down the slope for 50 meters. Lunch, in the restaurant next to the open-air museum, such a plate of 15 lira.
In the afternoon, we went to the pigeon house on foot. We couldn't find any shade trees along the way. In such fine weather, piggy and I were exposed to the sun. I was tired of walking four kilometers. I heard that there were still three kilometers to go to pasabagi, so I changed my mind immediately.
This is the dovehouse church. There's nothing special from the outside, especially when we just came out of the open air museum. In addition to the charge at the door, we couldn't see any visitors inside, so we took photos outside and left.
The main purpose of going to pasabagi is to see the fairy chimneys, but we also saw these fairy chimneys on the edge of the pigeon house. It's lovely, so I don't think there will be too many regrets if I didn't go to pasabagi.
Then, the question is how to go back? Piggy and I don't want to walk back. So we stopped cars on the roadside. Before and after that, there were other people who stopped cars like us. Fortunately, I met an Italian couple who were willing to send us back. Go back to the hotel and have a rest. Don't go out until it's almost sunset.
We went to Rose Valley to see the sunset. We just walked into the valley for a short time, but we didn't go deep. The color of the setting sun on the stone is really beautiful.
The color of the canyon in the distance is more dreamy and colorful, the color of the stone itself is multifarious, and the sunlight is more enchanting. I began to miss the broken telephoto lens.
As time goes on, the color of the valley changes.
At dinner, I tried the local restaurant's lamb chops recommended by LP, just at the intersection from gremee to the open-air museum. A total of 5 lamb chops, 28 lira, not cheap, taste good.
Gremay at night.
Day4: the most fantastic
1. Travel arrangements this is the most wonderful day of the whole trip. Whether it's hot air balloon or green line, it's wonderful beyond imagination. We can also see our love degree from the ranking of me and piggy. People who come to kappa must experience these two recommendations, or they will come in vain. Whether it's a hot-air balloon or a green line, they will drive minibuses to pick you up at your place of residence, and send you back to your residence at the end of the journey. The service is very considerate. The flight duration and altitude of the hot air balloon depend on the weather conditions. The general time is one hour and the altitude is 1 km. The local best royal family's hot-air balloons were launched when other families were still inflated. When other families landed, they were still flying. Of course, the price was more expensive than others. Besides Royal, butterfly and kappadocia are better. Before we went, kappa's balloon had an accident, but it didn't affect us at all. But for the sake of safety, it is suggested that you should choose a reputable balloon company. The balloon will take off at more than four o'clock and more than five o'clock before dawn, and enjoy the sunrise of Cappadocia. Of course, the temperature will be slightly lower in the morning. Remember to bring a coat. If it takes off more than five, the balloon will be over at about six thirty. At the end of the day, they will send flowers, open champagne, eat cakes, issue certificates, and set up a jar. That's a tip. If you really think it's good, give it a little. The green line doesn't start until more than nine o'clock. It's absolutely feasible to arrange it on the same day as the hot air balloon. The whole line of the green line is too long to walk, so it's a good choice to join the local delegation. Another advantage of joining the tour is that there is a professional guide to explain, but the English level of the tour guide is uneven, so it is uncertain what kind of tour guide can meet. Lunch is also included in the cost, and the dining environment is elegant and the food is delicious, which is several orders of magnitude better than the group meals in China. It's about 5:30 after the end of the green line. If you have other activities, please arrange the time. 2. The pot beef in Cappadocia is really delicious. The beef is cooked with mushroom and other auxiliary materials in thick soup. Looking at the pot is not big, but there is a lot of material in it, tender meat soup is thick. Piggy and I agree that the best food in Turkey is highly recommended! Almost all of gremee's restaurants have sales~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The dividing line of cute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. As a result, I haven't seen the car after the appointed time. Anxiously waiting, I saw that there were two East Asians in a nearby hotel who were also restless. So he went to ask them about their situation. One of them blurted out in Korean as if he had seen a difficult friend. I had to explain to him in English that I'm not from Bangzi country, and then I asked which family they were waiting for. Before Bangzi could explain clearly, he saw Kaya's car coming. Leaving Bangzi, we continue to wait anxiously alone. We're on our way. Later, I felt that Bangzi must have been very, very upset at that time. To the hot-air balloon take-off place, the day is not bright, the staff are busy to inflate the hot-air balloon. Before takeoff, the staff will also record your name for the purpose of writing the certificate.
The balloon is almost ready to go!
This is a good weather, piggy not without complacent said: look, all my blessing, if you change to decide, certainly even can't fly up, you thank me! Take off! Introduce the hanging basket of hot air balloon. A large hanging basket consists of four small baskets, each of which carries seven people, with the pilot standing in the middle. During the flight, the pilot will keep spinning the balloon so that the passengers in each basket can see the scenery around.
The sun came out, and at that moment the basket just turned in this direction.
Looking at the hot air balloon below, it's a pity that it's too late to enjoy the beautiful sunrise and feel lucky for yourself.
The highest mountain in the distance is the second highest mountain in Turkey.
Hot air balloon is not simply flying in the high altitude, the flight route is high and low. The lowest time is close to the ground, walking through a canyon, next to these strange stones, timid people will constantly worry about whether they will hit like this. The hot-air balloon flew straight to the front of the mountain wall. A foreigner was scared and yelled, "no! Help me!” The result is that the balloon is about to be in close contact with the mountain, the moment before the balloon a sharp pull up, flying out of the valley without danger.
The sunlight cast our shadow on the rock.
As one of the most suitable places for hot air balloon flight in the world, Cappadocia has a great relationship with its unique landform. Many people will think that this is not the surface of the earth because of the ravines and strange shapes of rocks formed by volcanoes.
The pilot ignited frequently, the balloon rose all the way, and he yelled, "we are flying to the moon!" The passengers followed, "gogogo.". A fire, the pilot called: "1000!", Add another fire: "1050!"
The balloon began to descend gradually.
When landing, the pilot will specially explain the precautions when landing. Near the ground, a few ropes will be thrown down, and the staff on the ground will tightly grasp these ropes to control the orientation and height of the balloon. In the moment of contact with the ground, these strong guys jumped up and pressed on the edge of the basket, so that the hot-air balloon no longer jumped up. After that, a trailer will come over, and the pilot will ignite it again. The hot-air balloon will take off a little and fly to the trailer to be stable again. This is the final landing. Next, send flowers to ladies, passengers out of the warehouse, open champagne and eat cakes to celebrate, and everyone will issue a certificate with your name on it. This is our pilot.
I went back to the hotel to have a rest, ate the breakfast buffet, and waited for the green line to pick me up while basking in the sun. There are not many people in our group. Piggy and I, two Brazilian girls and a Japanese girl, together with tour guides and drivers, are very convenient to organize. Fortunately, tour guide English is very good, although the speed is fast, but the pronunciation is very standard. Moreover, the tour guide is very funny. He often pretends to be serious and says a very ridiculous thing, and then leaves us looking at each other, so he corrects it with a smile. Sitting in the car, he kept telling us about Turkey's history, so that we would not be bored. The first stop of the green line, overlooking pigeon valley. Local people love pigeons very much. They dig holes in the rocks as pigeon nests and collect pigeon droppings as fertilizer. Many of the stones in this pigeon valley have been chiseled into pigeon nests. In other words, it is also a very suitable place for hiking. The scenery in the valley is very beautiful. If you have time, I suggest you go in and have a walk.
Second stop, underground city. It is said that in order to avoid being slaughtered, Christians dug a huge rock underground into a small village for living. There were not only people living in it, but also places for storing things, cooking, making wine, raising livestock and reading books. Once they lived in it, they could not go out for several months. Of course, Christians need to build a church. And since they were slaughtered, even the fighting place was chiseled out. Up and down several layers, it's hard to imagine!
The third stop, selime. Similarly, a huge rock is dug, but it is not underground, but on the ground. So a church was built, and it was also a post station on the silk road. This place is also my favorite place in the whole green line with piggy. It's really spectacular.
The stone in the distance was shot here by Star Wars.
From this angle, we can also see the second peak of Tuguo.
The small hole in the stone is used to put candles.
A heart illuminated by light
Look up from below.
Lunch, open in a restaurant by the stream. There are ducks swimming in the stream. When the Brazilian girl talked about these ducks, the guide said solemnly that they are eaten in winter. Everyone was used to his jokes and thought that this time was no exception. Unexpectedly, the guide called the waiter to confirm it. Brazilian girl exclaimed: No, how can you do this? Lunch includes appetizer soup, vegetable salad, dinner (fish, beef, chicken and other five options), dessert (ice cream), very good.
Fourth stop: ihlara canyon. From the top to the bottom, follow the stream until you reach another exit. The whole journey is about 4 kilometers. At the beginning, the guide said solemnly that we should first walk along this side of the stream, and then walk back along the other side of the stream. At first, no one cared. At the end, when he mentioned it again, everyone was shocked. Then he said with a smile that the car was in front of him. At the bottom, there will be a chapel. The murals in the church are well preserved, but the unique thing is that the characters have no eyes. The guide explained that the local people believed that these eyes would ward off evil spirits, so they dug them out and ate them.
Walking along the stream, you will feel a drizzle, light face, but in fact, there is no rain, and out of the canyon immediately can not feel, very strange. The guide said it was the steam from the stream, which stopped on the leaves and turned into water, then fell down.
Sitting in the car, the roadside scenery is also very good, Turkey's second peak is often reflected in the eye. I wonder why this mountain, which is only over 3000 meters long, can still keep snow on its top under the temperature of 30 ℃?
This is a Shenma lake, I forgot.
Back to pigeon Valley again.
Back to Graeme.
Go out and look for food.
This family has a special price for canned beef, 20 lira, and a free soup.
When the earthen pot of beef is served, it is closed. The waiter will take a stick and bang the top lid open.
Attractive beef and rich soup. Especially the soup, beef and mushroom taste are boiled in, it's really delicious!
Tuguo pizza... It's not that bad.
sunset glow
Only a small part of the sky was red by the setting sun. Most of them are covered by thick clouds. We feel lucky again. Piggy is proud again. Look, this is the good weather I set. Tomorrow's weather may not be able to fly hot air balloons.
Day5: Hello, Mediterranean
1. The traffic from gremay to manafgat takes about seven hours. There is no direct train from kapadocia to Sid. You need to take the first bus to Manavgat. In fact, it is also a bus to Antalya, and you get off early. Transfer from manafgat to Sid. The minibus to Sid won't arrive so early. Only taxis, 25 lire, give up. About 20 minutes later, a person chatting with taxi driver came up to us and pointed out the location where we could take the minibus. It was more than 1 kilometer and told us to take the minibus 2 lira / person. I met an Azerbaijani elder brother on the way and told us that he would go to the bus station and follow him. When we get to the bus stop, it's actually a crossroads. Many buses stop here, and there are many people waiting for the bus. It seems that most of them are buses from some hotels. I guess the minibus to Sid starts from another station (not the long-distance station we arrived at before) and stops here. The first one is 7:15. You need to transfer from Sid To Antalya. Next to the theater, a staff member who sold tickets for the aspandos performance told us that we would first make a ferry car in the parking lot, and then change to a bus to Antalya. The ferry car is free. They also asked the drivers in the parking lot. They showed us a minibus to manafgat and told the driver that we were going to Antalya, so we didn't pay for it. When we got to a certain place, the driver put us down. At the same time, someone went to Antalya with us and warmly asked us to follow him. Across the road, there is a bus to Antalya waiting there. 12 lira per person. After arriving at Antalya bus station, I bought a ticket for tomorrow's noon trip to fethier, 25 lira / person. From Antalya's bus station, you need to take a bus or tram to get to the old town of creasy. Take bus 1.75 lira / person, take Tram 2.5 lira / person (need to buy a card, cost 0.8 lira, the other 1.7 lira is the fare). It's better to take a tram, because the tram can go directly to the gate of the old city. In addition, the tram will also have the English station next station is... Which is better than the tram in Istanbul. And there are several bus routes to the vicinity, get off the location is not consistent, may have to continue to ask the way. After we got off the bus, we asked a lot of people, crossed the pedestrian street, and finally saw the landmark of the clock tower at the gate of the old city. 2. Why are you going to Antalya? Because piggy likes all the beautiful things with a long history and rich characteristics, Safranbolu, a world heritage town with strong Ottoman style recognized by UNESCO, entered her plan in the first time when making the route, but later found out when inquiring about the traffic, There is no direct train from saffron city to kappa. You have to transfer to Ankara. You start early in the morning and arrive at about 8 pm. You really don't want to spend the whole day on the road. Later, you can see that kaleici, the old city of Antalya, is also a well preserved ancient Ottoman site. And the location is also in the middle of Kapa and fetishier, immediately decided to cancel saffron, changed to the old city of Antalya. Why go to Sid? There are three famous ancient cities around Antalya: aspendos, perge and side. Aspendos is famous for its well preserved ASPAN theater, which is also the most complete and gorgeous in Asia. There are many concerts or song and dance performances held here in summer. The ancient city of perge is a well preserved Roman building, which can be omitted if the time is not very long. I think that in Turkey, the shock brought by Ephraim can not be surpassed by any ancient Roman architecture. Side, one of the ancient ports in Turkey, also has a large theater and Apollo temple. The fjord is surrounded by ancient city walls on all sides. Looking at the previous strategy, it is said that walking on the side will have the feeling of crossing the ancient times. Because I didn't leave much time in Antalya, I decided to go only to Sid. As soon as we got to Sid, the roadside was full of historical sites. We immediately felt excited. The last parking place was next to the theater. Sid can be roughly divided into three parts, the first part is through these historic sites, the second part is the town's buildings and streets, the third part is the Mediterranean coast. The biggest advantage of getting to Sid early in the morning is that you can walk on the street of an empty town, accompany with a bunch of mews, stroll slowly, be very quiet, and have a hug with Mediterranean at the end. When we went out to go back to see the historic sites, we saw a lot of tour groups coming, and the good feeling immediately disappeared. The ancient theater in Sid needs to buy tickets to enter, but you can see what it looks like from the outside. Considering that there will be cotton fort and Ephesus in the future, you are not going to enter it. In the old city of Antalya, the road is a bit complicated. You need to ask more about the way to find a place for the first time. Coming in from the bell tower, there will be three branches ahead. The one on the right can go to the harbor, and the one on the left can go to Hadrian gate. There are many Turkish bathrooms in the old city, many of which are hundreds of years old. But we didn't experience it. In the west is a port, where many cruise ships can go to sea. On the way from the bell tower to the port, we met the cheapest postcard on the journey, 1 euro 15. The best place to watch the sunset is karaalioglu Park, on a cliff by the sea. 3. Erken hotel is a 240 year old house with unique layout. The only disadvantage is that the room is too small. For breakfast, the eggs made by their family are very fragrant, which is the aroma from the eggs themselves~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Sid's first meeting with the Mediterranean.
Apollo temple, these are the only pillars left.
At the top of the town, there is a small harbor with several cruise ships.
Quiet little Sid town.
It's the sweetest orange juice we've ever had in Turkey. It's not one of them. 2 liras a glass.

Hotel Erken, Antalya. The interior decoration is very tasteful, but the room is small.
The public area on the second floor.
Lunch at a nearby restaurant, 29 lira for two. The taste of chicken is average. The beef is very good. The pancakes delivered also taste crispy.
Stroll around the old city of Antalya.
At the door of a shoe store. Their family specializes in making handmade shoes.
Triangle plum, many hotels and restaurants have planted this flower, blooming.
When I was wandering, I took a picture of an old house and was stopped by an old man. I thought he would charge us something, but he said that the old house was his, but he didn't rent it out as a hotel. Because there are many stories in it. If we are willing to pay one dollar and one euro, we will take us in and tell us stories. No. Landmark buildings at the entrance of the old city, bell tower and Pasha mosque.
A lot of cruise ships have been parked in the Roman harbor. The owner of the boat was trying to attract guests on the shore. It's also the Mediterranean.
A ship owner stopped us and said that a person of 10 lira would sail for about an hour. Maybe the only passengers were us. He warmly invited us to take the boat. I was still thinking about the sunset, so I declined. Later, I thought that the price was actually good.
The water is very clean. You can see the stones at the bottom.
At the seaside, you can clearly see the rolling mountains on the other side, with clouds and fog covering the top of the mountain.
Enjoy the Mediterranean sunset in karaalioglu park. There are still a few cruise ships out to sea.
There are not many people in the park, so there is no need to think hard to grab a seat. You can see the perfect sunset from any position.
The last ray of sunlight.
It's getting late. It's time to go home.
Look, grey machine!
Day6: surprise
1. When the traffic arrives in fetishier, the extremely enthusiastic staff will come up to ask if they need help, and then they will take you to their office so that you can have a rest. If you buy a ticket with them, they will give you a voucher to choose any train number in the next three days. When you want to leave, just bring this voucher with you and ask them to change their tickets. The ticket from fethier to cotton fort is 28 lira / person, and the staff give us a discount of 25 lira / person. You need to take a minibus from the station to CALIS beach. When you get out of the station, walk down the street to a traffic light intersection where there is a bus stop. 2 lira / person, more than ten minutes. 2. There are many villas with swimming pools beside the CALIS beach, and some of them are used as hotels, such as the ten apart we stayed in; Many are still idle. Domestic rich people might as well consider buying a set there for their own use, and come here for a holiday every year, ha ha. It's only 5 minutes' walk from the seaside, with two rooms and one living room, kitchenware, refrigerator and public swimming pool, but no breakfast. How much? 11 euro! It's a great place to live. The price is amazing! Their family's special promotion, just like this one day, was run into by piggy. However, the normal price seems to be more than 20 euro. There are many restaurants on the seashore. I recommend a Japanese Chinese restaurant Chinese breeze... Japanese restaurant... Don't worry about this problem, special meal: an appetizer, a dish, a staple food, 19.5 lira, the most luxurious meal in this trip. Details will be described later. It is said that there is a fish market in the downtown area of fethier. You can buy your own fish and let the restaurant process it. Only a processing fee will be charged. We gave up because of the difficulty. 3. About the travel arrangement of fetsier, piggy and I agree that it is the most suitable place for vacation. Whether it's CALIS beach on this day, super discount and super enjoyment of ten apart, or what we saw and heard in the next few days, it all reveals relaxed and comfortable. It is strongly recommended that those who come to fethier can stay a few more days, even if they are in a daze watching the sea swimming. As for kusadas and Izmir, we don't recommend going to them any more. Although they are romantic Aegean Sea, they are far away from the beautiful Mediterranean Sea of fetishier. This is for the future~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello, I'm the dividing line. Antalya, right across from Erken's house.
Erken's breakfast.
The eggs that are solemnly recommended were mentioned in yesterday's itinerary. It doesn't look good, but it really smells good.
Keep walking around the old city.
This is the roadside leading to the harbor. It's a postcard of 1 euro and 15 pieces, which was mentioned in the itinerary yesterday.
Outside the old city, Antalya's tramway.
A commercial street on the edge of the old city is decorated with umbrellas of various colors, which is extremely beautiful.
Not far from the mall is Hadrian gate, also known as triple gate.
It's fetsier! This is ten apart. This is our room. There's a cabin behind me that hasn't been photographed.
Public swimming pool
Ten Apart
After we moved in, there were four more Chinese, one of whom was my alumni, so we had to say it was fate. They didn't plan their activities in fethier. After hearing that we were going to take a paraglider tomorrow, they went to the Hector's house to sign up. The next day we went together.
Calis Beach。 They are all public reclining chairs and umbrellas, which are managed and maintained by special staff. On the edge of the beach is a row of shops, mainly restaurants, and some small vendors set up stalls. Tourists and local people strolled here, and we also saw a small concert.
Dorothy's little pig.
Continue to enjoy the sunset in the Mediterranean.
Chinese breeze is on the stage. Decoration or something with Chinese flavor. The waiter said that all the restaurants here have a corresponding name for what the chef can cook. For example, if you can make Italian food, it's called Italian restaurant. For example, the owner of this restaurant is Japanese, but he likes to cook Chinese food very much, so he opened this Chinese restaurant. I wonder why not open a Japanese restaurant? The waiter didn't seem to understand my question, so he didn't answer it.
This is the first meal. Piggy asked for this plate of spring rolls, fried chaos and so on. I asked for a soup. This platter is delicious, especially the fried mutton.
The main food is fried noodles, and there are two dishes in addition. It's like Chinese food. These portions are a little salty. The waiter specially took chopsticks for us to use.
Day7: riding the wind
1. Travel arrangements, paragliding, it seems very dangerous. For the sake of safety, when you choose businesses, you should choose those with good reputation. You can feel at ease. For example, Hector's family has a good evaluation. Their home website http://www.hectorparagliding.com You can see the time and price of various activities above. You can email to: Hector- protector@hotmail.com (hector- protector@hotmail.com ）Make a reservation and don't forget to bargain. Piggy cut the price of paraglider + Photo + Dead Sea cruise from 110 euro / person to 230 lira / person. Note that these are three different items. Photos and videos of paragliding are purchased separately and are not included in the service of paragliding. However, since it is such a rare experience, it is worth paying for. And the Dead Sea cruise is our project in the next day. In addition, as mentioned above, simply considering the price, we recommend 12 Island Tours (20 euro / person) instead of the Dead Sea Cruise (15 euro / person). The first time for paragliding is 8:30, and it ends at 11:00. The second time starts at 11:00, and then there are flights at 13:30, 15:30 and 17:45 respectively. The above is only a general time, and it seems that the details can be adjusted. In fact, our trip started at about 7:30 and ended at about 8:40. Climbing and gliding take up half an hour each. In other words, when you take the paraglider, you really don't have to be afraid. Isn't it better to relax and enjoy this rare experience? Many people are concerned about whether they can take a camera with them when they are paragliding? Hector stressed that guests can't help but bring cameras, but he didn't suggest that cameras are often lost, and they are not responsible for losing them. My experience is: can take, but please be sure to hang the shoulder strap, wristband, hand tightly grasp, in short, take care of their own things, come on, others can't help you. As for the road to Lycia, take a minibus to Kabak first, and find the hotel named mamma house on the roadside. There's another way down next to the hotel, which is a hike to Kabak beach. Ten meters up the road from the hotel, there is a dirt road along the mountain on the right side. From this side, you can walk to the road of Lycia, and go in the direction indicated by the sign printed with Faralya, then you can return to butterfly valley. On these two routes, there are red and white signs, painted on trees, stones or other more prominent positions. As long as you can see these signs, it means that you are not going the wrong way. This ancient pilgrimage road is named one of the ten best hiking routes in the world by the Sunday Times. The journey to lixi'a is very long. One of the three-day plans introduced in LP is to arrive at ovacik or oludeniz (Dead Sea) from alinca in fethiern via Kabak and Faralya. We only chose the section from Kabak to Faralya, which is about 8 km long. Ex
