Travel days: 10 days (2015.2.7-2015.2.16)
Tourist route: Istanbul - chanakale (Troy) - ancient city of Ephesus - pamqale (Fort cotton) - kapadoccia - Ankara
By air: Mahan (Beijing - Teheran - Istanbul)
Actual cost: 12000 yuan / person
I chose to go to Turkey because of a wechat post. At that time, I was tempted to see the photo of "cotton fort". So before the Spring Festival holiday in 2015, sign up for the "blue Turkey 10 day tour" decisively, because the Spring Festival tour fee is about 30% higher.
As the knowledge of Turkey is only that it is an Islamic country, others have no feeling at all. So after paying the tour fee, I went to the Internet to watch Turkey's strategy. It turns out that Turkey is not only a "cotton fort", but also a "blue mosque", a bridge across Europe and Asia, "the ancient city of Troy" and "kapadochia" are most like the earth's surface of the moon~~~
Although it was a group tour, I had a free day in Istanbul, so after reading n strategies, I made the following travel preparations:
1. Money: Turkey uses the local currency lira (the symbol TL)
If it cannot be exchanged in China, it needs to be exchanged into lira in US dollar or Euro locally, or it can use the bank card with the logo of "UnionPay", "vist" and "master" to withdraw money from the ATM. The specific handling charge needs to consult the bank using the card. Tam can be seen everywhere in Istanbul, which is very convenient.
I said my choice: I only changed $600 in China, which is basically useless. I just paid $500 when I was in a hot air balloon. All lira used in Turkey is taken from ATM. I use Huaxia Bank's debit card. I must say that this super easy-to-use card is free of charge as long as I withdraw the first cash every day from ATM with "UnionPay" logo. Mine is a new blue chip card. I was afraid that Turkey could not use the chip card before. Practice has proved that it is very easy to use, Our cash exchange rate in recent days is about 2.5, which is more suitable than US dollar.
In Turkey, I only found that this bank with the "four leaf grass" logo has the "UnionPay" logo for cash withdrawal. I saw some netizens say that there are ATM machines of this bank when I leave the airport in Istanbul. When I went there, I found them several times, but I didn't find them. There are many ATM machines out of the airport, but they don't have UnionPay logo. Ask the local people, they don't know what UnionPay is, so don't worry, you will definitely visit the old city near the bus bar, pay attention, you can find it.
2. Wear: in February, the temperature in Turkey is almost the same as that in Beijing. You can wear whatever you want in Beijing. In winter, Turkey is rainy and cold, but hotels and restaurants are very warm. There's no need to worry about the rain. Just because of the rain, you can see Turkey's hesitation and its heavy sense of historical accumulation.
3. Stay: we arrange a five-star hotel in the whole process. Hotels in Turkey don't provide toothbrush, but need to bring their own. There are other soap, bath and shampoo. In cities like Istanbul and Ankara, hotels have electric kettle. In cotton fort and kapadochia, these hotels don't provide electric kettle. If you have to drink hot water, you have to bring your own electric kettle or go to a restaurant to get hot water for $1. Turkish voltage is 220 V, 50 Hz. The plug is a two hole round plug, which belongs to continental European standard.
4. Taboo in Turkey:
Turks believe in Islam. They don't like to drink wine other than wine. They like to eat beef and mutton. They are forbidden to eat pork. According to local customs, when they go to the countryside, they sometimes have to take off their shoes before they can enter the house. To enter the mosque, women need to wrap their headscarves, and everyone needs to take off their shoes. Don't spit, throw things. Islam has a month of Ramadan every year. When you come to Turkey, please do not eat in front of others (except restaurants).
5. Istanbul transportation: we have a day of free activities in Istanbul. Our choice of transportation is bus, which is very convenient, because our main tourist attractions are in the old city area, so no matter which direction we live, we can visit the T1 line: Grand Bazaar, old palace, Sophia Cathedral, blue mosque, Underground water palace, spice market, Galata bridge, Galata.
6. Turkish gift:
The most famous one, of course, is Turkey's blue eyes. There are all kinds of key chains, refrigerator stickers and hanging decorations made of blue eyes. The prices vary greatly from place to place. Take the key chain and refrigerator stickers for example, the general tourist attractions are 3lt-5lt and the tourist souvenir shops are 6lt-10lt (of course, there are packages, and the quality is similar to that outside).
As like as two peas, I found a cheapest place, and I went straight through the gate in the spice market of Istanbul, and left two corners of the corner. His family's key chain 1LT was the same as elsewhere. There are also carpet style wallets, various refrigerator stickers, and large hanging decorations. The prices are not very expensive, most of which are less than 10lt. We didn't go to the bazaar because of the rain. We only visited this bazaar, but after we came back to communicate with the group members, we concluded that the things in the bazaar are the most expensive, some of which are more expensive than those in tourist attractions, so students who want to bring gifts should come to the spice market. Although it's not very big, I feel that tourist souvenirs are quite complete.
I picked blue eyes~~
Turkish porcelain bowls and plates are also very beautiful, but in the end I didn't bring any. To sum up, it's not that I don't like it. I'm really fussy. When I left Ankara, I found that my favorite bowl was in a shop outside the blue mosque. Because on the first day I went there, I wanted to see more and buy more, but I didn't expect to see it all the time, and I didn't buy it even when I left. Teach me a lesson. If you like it, do it quickly. Let's talk about the price. The bowl is divided into three sizes: large, medium and small. The small one is usually 5lt, the medium one is 10lt-15lt, and the large one is too big. There is also a difference in quality, because each bowl is hand drawn, so there will be different, more exquisite will be more expensive, and there is the quality of clay. In a word, when you choose, you have to rely on your feeling. When you feel like it, you can sell it, because this is really the only one, and the price difference is not very big. The prices of dishes vary greatly, ranging from more than ten lira to several hundred lira. I really haven't studied this. If you like, you can have a look. On the way from the exit of underground water palace along the Ti line to the spice market, there is a dish seller with many kinds and good prices, which is also at the corner of an intersection.
What I like is this one ~ ~ ~ fortunately, there are photos~
For Turkey's sugar, did not dare to bring, because it is too sweet, too sweet. I choose to bring Turkish soup, is not very thoughtful. Because along the way, the first course of every meal is hot, Turkish soup is very thick, with endless aftertaste, which is my favorite food during my trip to Turkey these days. So how to bring delicious food home, I began to study in the supermarket.
My delicious soup~~
The supermarkets in Turkey, which I passed by, were bigger than small convenience stores, but they did not reach the scale of large supermarkets. The most common one is A101. The tour guide said that the supermarket is relatively cheap. The name is because you can buy 101 yuan for 100 yuan.
I bought black tea, beehive, lemon juice, Turkish tea cup, all kinds of snacks, pistachio, pistachio chocolate, juice drinks in Turkish supermarket.
Most of caykur's Turkish black tea is packaged in 1kg. There are several different names. I don't know what the difference is. I bought it in red package and made a pot at home. The taste is right, but I don't think it's full-bodied. It seems that I want to buy a pot for tea, ha ha. This big bag of black tea is about 9LT, and there is not much difference in each supermarket.
Beehive is a common supermarket in Turkey. I haven't bought it in China. The main guide recommended it, and the price is not expensive. So I came to 3 boxes, about 10lt. But my friends should pay attention to it. I brought it back with some leaks. It should be wrapped in plastic bags and must be checked in.
Soup bag: I often drink tomato soup and mushroom soup in Turkey, so there are also two kinds of soup bag. I can't understand the words on it, just look at the pattern. The price ranges from 2lt to 5lt. But at the time of checking out, the kind-hearted Turks in front of us still wondered why we bought so many soup ingredients and reminded us that you were staying in a hotel? There is no pot to cook this thing in the hotel. We laughed and said, "we like your soup so much. We're going to take it back to our country for development.". I have to say that Turks are really enthusiastic and we have got a lot of help along the way.
Pistachio, dried apricot and Fig: I bought the first two of these three famous Turkish specialties, because figs are no different from those in China, and they make me feel very unclean. But pistachios and dried apricots are very delicious. The price is similar to that in China, and the taste exceeds several stops.
Let's take a picture of the whole family ~ ~ let's see if there's a touching couple I just introduced~~
Wow ~ ~ I've said so much. Let's start the introduction of the tour section.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On February 7, 2015, in the early morning, Beijing T3 flew to Tehran
We're on a Mahan plane
When I first got on the plane, I felt that the plane was really simple and dirty. But after sitting down, I feel that the width of the seat should be more spacious. The measurement standard is whether my husband's long legs can stretch freely. In the second half of the night, all the Middle Eastern men on the plane went to the back row and lay down to sleep.
Ha ha, there's a small episode here. I don't know what time it is. After breakfast, everyone is awake. My husband and I sit by the window. We just look at the Middle East men in the middle row. We fold the blankets we just used very carefully. I keep telling my husband, look at people, stay at home and fold carefully. Is it manly and learn more. My husband is impatient. Mr. Middle East not only folded his blanket carefully, but also folded his companion's blanket carefully. At the moment when I kept educating my husband, the Middle East man quickly stuffed two blankets into the bag. I was petrified at that time. I gave my husband a happy ~ ~ ~ my praise was broken to the ground~~~
To tell you the truth, because of the time difference, I really don't know about Beijing, Teheran and Istanbul. We have been flying for several hours. It's estimated that 15 of them will be available.
When you transfer in Tehran, there are also precautions. When you enter Iran, all women should wrap their heads around with scarves. The standard is not to show their ears, and they should wear long clothes to cover their hips. All friends who are going to transfer in Iran, remember to bring scarves.
Now that we are here, let's talk about our impression of Iran. The airport in Tehran is not big and old. Except that we are basically Middle Eastern faces, occasionally mixed with a few white people. Of course, when you look at them differently, they look at you the same way. In fact, what I see is how they wrap their headscarves. They think how they wrap their headscarves is so ugly.
We stayed in the airport for more than 2 hours. We were arranged in the VIP lounge, which is the place where we can eat and drink freely.
It's much better here than in China. It's rich in food and drink, and it's easy to play.
Of course, to be idle is to go around and investigate the Iranian people. I went directly to the supermarket to have a look. As soon as I went in, I walked three shelves. I came out. It's too scary to rely on ~ ~ ~ price tag. They all started with six figures. I stood at the door of the supermarket and really relaxed. My husband said: Iran can't swipe cards, only accept Riyal and US dollars. Then we have to do it. However, when we came back, we made a careful inquiry and received a bag of pistachio nuts with a price of 330000 Riyals. Finally, we received 12 US dollars and found 2000 Riyals. After we said we didn't want local currency, we gave us two bags of melon seeds. It's not a very interesting deal.
Carefully photographed other people's handicrafts, are million, ha ha~~
Finally, we have to wait until we can board the plane, and we also need security check. Men and women are separated, and the check is very careful. And then there was a long flight in the air. Arriving in Istanbul is about 9:00 local time. It's very simple to enter the country. I didn't say anything. I looked at it and left.
It's just a few places for currency exchange and baggage claim. It's not big and easy to find. Out of the customs, there are ATM machines on the left and right, but most of those without the "UnionPay" logo have master. After we had two rounds inside and couldn't find the ATM with the "UnionPay" logo, we decided to go out and talk about it.
At first sight, I saw a lot of clouds in the sky of Istanbul. It was said that the good blue did not appear, but I felt that the taste was also in line with Istanbul's temperament, melancholy temperament. These two days in Istanbul are all about that.
We went straight to the first scenic spot and started our trip to Turkey~~
Blue Mosque, St. Sophia's Cathedral:
These two places are one side and the other side. Of course, there are underground water palace, old palace, grand bazaar, spice market and so on nearby~
In February, there are not many tourists. It's very good to shoot any way.
Our itinerary is the blue mosque inside, the appearance of St. Sophia's Cathedral.
Mosque entry: ladies should wrap their headscarves, and everyone should take off their shoes. When they enter the mosque, they will give you a plastic bag. There will be a lot of cabinets for shoes. Just put the shoes there. Don't forget the location. I forgot once. I was so scared that I thought I lost my shoes. I'm a cleanliness addict, so I brought my own shoe covers, because the people inside don't wear shoes. When I go in, it tastes like stepping on it is uncomfortable. Therefore, friends who are also cleanliness addicts can prepare in advance.
There are not many people inside. They are bustling and quiet. They feel the exotic customs with their eyes~~
Before, the strategy is the front of the blue mosque. I'll take a few side photos~~
In fact, people are very clean. There is a place to wash feet outside. It's a little cold in winter~~
Outside the blue mosque, there is a square with two stone tablets and a snake. At that time, I only took photos, not listening to the guide's explanation. However, I heard that an additional obelisk was sent by Egypt. At that time, it was too long to transport, so a section was cut off. Now it is 22 meters high. There are four obelisks outside Egypt, one is the United States, two are Europe, and one is Turkey.
There are many people selling roasted corn and chestnuts in the square~~
On the square, leisurely pigeons, leisurely people~
Leave the square, take the bus shuttle in the narrow ancient street, I do not know how to turn to see a sea, that feeling ah ~ ~ only you go to the real experience~~
Then we drove up to the Galata bridge. The place where we had lunch was just below the Galata bridge. On the Galata bridge, many local people are fishing. It's very leisurely. The weather is not warm and the fish is not big. But people's relaxed attitude makes me the envy of tourists.
Under the bridge~~
Turkey's group meal is one for each person or buffet. Our first meal in Turkey is fried fish for each person, 4 people at each table, a basket of bread, a basin of salad. Bread and salad are like the basic set meal in Turkey, because in the next few days, as long as the meal is served by order, these two dishes will appear. Later, we learned that bread is the staple food in Turkey, Every meal with soup is to eat with bread, because bread is not the general strength of the road ah. To tell you the truth, Turkish cuisine is totally acceptable to me, especially the soup, which is so delicious that I bought so many soups in the supermarket, and I intend to go on the road of food research.
After dinner, we visited the domabache palace.
About Baidu:
The new palace costs one billion marks, and its internal treasures are dazzling. Luxury crystal lamps, ivory and gold products are everywhere, including the world's largest 4500kg crystal chandelier. It is said that 14 tons of gold and 40 tons of silver were used to decorate the palace. In order to build domabache palace, the Ottoman Dynasty invested a lot of money and owed a lot of foreign debts. The new palace covers an area of 7000 hectares, with 43 halls, 70 bathrooms and 285 rooms. The marble for the new palace was shipped from Marmara, the alabaster from Egypt, and the rubella from the Mongolian city of Beja. The interior decoration and lighting were designed by Italian and French artists.
In the afternoon, it began to rain. I don't know whether the buildings in Istanbul are in line with the melancholy temperament, or the rain in Turkey is so emotional. Because the rain did not affect the mood of the tour.
The whole courtyard is a European style building, with one side facing the Bosporus Strait. Domabache means "garden built by reclamation".
The interior of the palace is a unified visit, with a prescribed route, and no photos are allowed. It can only be said that it is really luxurious. There is also a pair of blue and white porcelain bottles given by the Chinese emperor. Russia's super forthright gift is a pair of large specimens of brown bears, which are placed in the hall. It's good for off-season travel. We are the only group in the palace. We listen to the guide's explanation and stroll slowly.
This one was taken secretly. I really endured all the way and wanted to take it because it was so beautiful. The largest crystal lamp in the world, weighing 4.5 tons. It's really dazzling.
Even if the part we visited was over, the guide said that today the back palace is not open to the public. It turned out that we only visited a small part of the palace and were shocked.
It's still raining outside, but it's a little faster than just now, so the day's visit is over.
Dinner "turkey barbecue", is really a long time.
Dinner is also served one by one. The first course is still thick soup. This tomato soup is the best thick soup I have drunk during my trip to Turkey. It's a very happy thing to drink hot soup in the humid air.
At the door of the restaurant is an uncle who sells "ice cream". He puts up all kinds of POSS for us to take pictures. We can't buy it, but the joy is still there. If you buy it, ha ha, there will be interactive games. Because it was too cold, I gave up the ice cream game. But I always regretted it later, because we never saw such a beautiful uncle selling ice cream again.
It took us about an hour to drive. We went from the old town to the new town. We went to the hotel. Have a good rest and continue tomorrow~~~
Day 2: around the hotel, Sophia Cathedral (exterior), underground water palace, spice market, galateta
Because of the time difference, we woke up very early, big eyes to small eyes looking forward to the restaurant opening. At 6 o'clock sharp, we entered the restaurant on time. The food was very rich. I didn't know how to eat it. I picked a few things I knew and began to eat. I drank another Turkish favorite, "hot cocoa". It's so rich that I can't extricate myself. You call it a good drink. It's silky but not greasy. We sat in the restaurant for about 2 hours, eating all the things we knew and didn't know, and taking a few photos while no one was around. How free we are ~ ~ because we are free today, ha ha.
I can't bear to stay any longer. Let's start our journey today. Yesterday, when we talked about the airport, we didn't find an ATM with the "UnionPay" logo, so today we have to withdraw money first. My sixth sense tells me that there should be an ATM around the hotel.
While looking for ATMs, we also passed McDonald's and a mosque, stopping by~~
Look at the back of the mosque. It's a supermarket in the mosque~~
I really found about eight ATMs together. I have to say that Turkey's ATM business is still very developed. Of course, there is the Garanti bank we are looking for. We took 200 lira and there was no handling charge. At that time, the exchange rate was 2.6, which was quite cost-effective.
Rich and willful, begin to eat and drink~~~
There is a bus stop at the door of the hotel, which is similar to the BRT in Beijing, but it's really faster than that in Beijing. It's basically less than a minute, with a special closed lane.
We inquired about the route in the hotel the night before. The enthusiastic Turkish people were afraid that we could not find it and wrote us a route map~~~
There will be 2-3 ticket vending machines at each entrance. You can buy the card first, 10 lira, 6 lira deposit, 4 lira can brush the ticket. Of course, it is not enough, so recharge it. One card can take five people. One person can go in and give it to the other. I'm really sorry. I forgot to take photos after I successfully bought the ticket~~~
After we went in, we were really stupid. There was no stop sign. After we saw about 10 cars passing by, we began to ask for help. Unlike the nearby scenic spots, there are many people who can speak English. Most of them are nearby residents. My family first analyzed the form and found a man wearing a woollen coat to ask the way. Later, he explained that looking at clothes should be a highly educated person. Shame ~ ~ but it's really warm. After confirming the route with us, he took us to a new car. After getting on the bus, we counted the stops silently, because we really didn't understand what we were saying. After about 10 stops, a middle-aged man came over and signaled that it was time for us to get off. Wow ~ ~ he was so moved at that time. He had been paying attention to us silently. He is good at English. After getting off the bus, he took us to the other side of the road and changed to "T1". Then he walked away in silence. Have you ever met such kind-hearted people in a foreign country.
Taking the T1 bus, we passed the "Grand Bazaar" and got off at the "Sophia Cathedral" stop. We're in town!
After getting off, the first sight ~ ~ here we are~~~
Started, yesterday with the group did not have fun regret, carefully began to stroll. As we arrived on Monday, Sophia Cathedral was closed to the public, so it became a pity for our trip.
All kinds of cats are scattered around the square~~
Walking down the street in front of the cathedral, you can see the "old palace". Because the appearance is not very obvious, we missed it, which became the second regret of our trip.
Maybe the path next to the "old palace" is very fresh, which attracted us and we went down.
This is the path that attracts us ~ ~ opposite is the gate of the old palace~~
Quiet alley ~ ~ no one came and went, only we two leisurely feel the peace~~
It's a garden down the street
I'm tired of shopping. Let's have a delicious bagel~~~
Go around the other side of the street garden and go back to the corner of Sophia Cathedral. Remember this~~~
To the left is Sophia Cathedral, to the right is underground water palace. Remember the electric pole beside. This is T1, tram~~
The entrance of "underground water Palace" is really not very obvious. We asked the police, and uncle was taken there. Have you found that the hospitality of the Turkish people, they will always take you to where you want to go“ The ticket of "underground water Palace" is 20 lira.
You must remember this door. If you are not careful, you will miss it~~
About Baidu:
Underground water palace is a reservoir built in the Byzantine period in the 6th century because of the war. According to historical records, the underground water palace was built in 542 AD by Justinian the great with 7000 slaves on the ruins of the church. On the one hand, it was to ensure the water supply for the palace, on the other hand, it was to prevent the enemy from besieging. The water palace has a water storage capacity of 100000 tons. If it is full of water, it is said that the whole city could drink it for a month at that time. In the period of the Ottoman Empire, the water palace was abandoned, and it was not until the mid-16th century that the Dutch discovered it unintentionally that it came to light again. Hollywood's "007 in Istanbul" and Jackie Chan's "spy city" were shot here.
The door is a very narrow step, down the steps, you can see another world, dim light with the sound of water; The moist air haunts you and makes you feel mysterious.
There are not many people. When you go down the steps, you will find the place where sister Hua takes pictures. It seems that they went a week ahead of us. They almost met.
One of the highlights of underground water palace is to find the head of Medusa. Notice that there will be signs on the side of the road that will take you all the way to Medusa.
No one. We just shoot and watch.
It's only half an hour after the underground water palace. After coming out, we decided to walk along the "T1" track, because looking at the strategy before, T1 basically covers all the scenic spots in the old city.
Meet the "old railway station" ~ ~ the door is decorated~~
Next to the mosque is the "spice market", which is really easy to ignore ~ ~ ~ here are two pictures to compare~~~
The brand of "spice market" is really old~~
There are so many people inside that it's not interesting to take photos~~
"Spice market" is not big, but things are very complete ~ ~ after coming out, we followed T1, crossed the Galata bridge, and we went to the direction of "Galata".
"Jiataita" tickets are divided into local people and tourists. The ticket price of tourists is the most expensive, 25 lira for one person. We are afraid that lira is not enough, so we paid US dollars and charged us $22 for two people.
About Baidu:
Galataita was first built in 1348 by the Genova people. It is 62 meters high and stands on the golden Cape Bay. It was the highest point of the Genoese fortress at that time, and then it was rebuilt many times. The tower survived several earthquakes and war disasters. On top of it, you can overlook the Persian Prussian Strait and the Golden Horn Bay. At night, visitors can enjoy themselves in restaurants, bars and nightclubs at the top of the tower.
When we went to the tower, it began to rain outside. It said that it began to rain in the afternoon in Istanbul these two days, so we just took shelter on the tower~~~
Panoramic view of Istanbul from 360 degrees~~
The weather began to get cold. It was 3 p.m. at this time, we decided to solve our "lunch + dinner" problem in the restaurant on the tower. So when we went in, the restaurant was empty. The first sentence of the waiter was "lunch or dinner".
It's 360 degrees around the viewing restaurant, and it's so reserved by us. My family's first son said that we should celebrate Valentine's day ahead of time.
According to the feeling ~ ~ ~ ordered ~ ~ regular Western food~~
After having enough tea and food, we felt that the rain was not stopping outside, so we decided to hurry back to the hotel. But on the way back, we caught up with the rush hour in Istanbul, and the bus was still very crowded.
Goodbye ~ ~ "Constantinople", I prefer his name~~
The third day, the Dardanelles, the ancient city of Troy
On the day we left, the weather in Istanbul began to change greatly. It rained all the time in the afternoon when we were there. This morning, the snowstorm began ~ ~. Although we escaped the snowstorm, the gale all the way today, it's no exaggeration to say, I was blown away ~ ~ ~ what a strong wind~~~
Windy sky, especially thorough~~
My first project today is to cross the "Dardanelle Strait". The car has to take a boat together ~ ~ so excited ~ ~ the guide always said, don't shut down because of the strong wind ~ ~ we're lucky ~ ha~~
About Baidu:
The chanakale Strait is also known as the dardannelles Strait, formerly known as Hellespont, and in Turkish as Canakkale bogazi. Dardanelles Strait. The strait connecting the Marmara Sea and the Aegean Sea, belongs to the Turkish inland sea, and is also one of the boundaries between Asia and Europe. It is a part of the famous Turkish Strait. It is often referred to as the Turkish Strait together with the Marmara Sea and the Bosporus Strait.
Take a look at this professional photographer ~ ~ it's really cold~~
We'll be on the other side in about 20 minutes~~
Look at the waves on the shore. What's the little black spot in the water?
Today's windmill is full ~ ~ ~ it's windy ~ ~ ~ whoosh~~~
Deng Deng ~ ~ today's protagonist "Troy City"
About Baidu:
Troy is also known as "elion". Ancient Greek colonial cities. It was built by the ancient Greeks around the 16th century BC. It is located in the southeast of Hellespont Strait (Dardanelle Strait) at the western end of Asia Minor peninsula. In 1998, it was listed in the world heritage list according to the selection criteria of cultural heritage. There was also the famous Trojan War here, and the Trojan horse was also produced in this war. Later, the war was adapted into the film Troy and put on the screen. On April 24, 1184 BC, Troy fell.
Do you know how strong the wind is? Look, there's no one~~~
Because the wind was so strong, we trotted around the ancient city to get warm at the souvenir shop at the gate. Maybe because we didn't walk around carefully, we all chose souvenirs as souvenirs~~
There are many kinds of souvenir shops outside famous tourist attractions in Turkey with reasonable prices. It's a good choice for those who have souvenirs.
Accompanied by the whirring wind, we end today's journey, with the beautiful sunset, to the Aegean seaside hotel.
Day 4: the town of hilinger, the ancient city of Ephesus
In the early morning, I took a picture of the Aegean Sea. I wanted to stay in Greece to see the Aegean Sea, but I did show your beauty in Turkey~~
In fact, there is no "Hillinger town" in our itinerary. Today is the fur shop, the ancient city of Ephesus and the road~~
Who knows why the tour guide added an additional scenic spot to us. After visiting, he remembered, ha ha, thank you very much~~
The road to "Hillinger town" is really hard to walk, a small village in the mountains~~
It was green before entering the mountain, but it turned into snow-white later~~~
Small town, very quiet, our arrival, just some chirping sound~~~
The town produces its own wine. The boss warmly lets everyone taste it. It's delicious and inexpensive. 20lt is a bottle~~
Most of the shops on the street buy handicrafts. This should be the cheapest gathering place for handicrafts in Turkey this time ~ ~ don't miss those who come here~~
After lunch, I visited the fur shop. Let's take two pictures of Turkey's handsome and hot girls~~~
Today's focus is "the ancient city of Ephesus" ~ ~ we arrived in the afternoon, the weather was fine ~ ~ ~ we really lived up to the day we were scratched yesterday~~
What's more, as soon as we entered the gate, we were welcomed by stargazers. We saw all kinds of mews guarding the ancient city of Ephesus along the way~~
Do you still remember the billboard in "flower sister"
This is the title of Song Xi's group of "sister of pattern" -- toilet
About Baidu:
Ephesus (Turkey): one of the most important cities in early Christianity. Ancient Anatolia was an Ionian Greek city founded by Athenian colonists in the 10th century BC. The city is located in Ionia, from the mouth of the Chester to the Aegean Sea, and is part of the panionian alliance.
Goodbye ~ ~ feline ~ ~ goodbye ~ ~ Ephesus~~
Keep going, beautiful scenery all the way~~
Day 5: Cotton fort, on the way
About Baidu:
Located in the southwest of Denizli City, Turkey, it is a famous hot spring resort. There are not only thousands of years of natural hot springs here, but also such strange cotton like hills. In Turkish, Pamuk means cotton and kale means castle, so Pamukkale is called cotton castle.
I'm very excited today. I just came to Turkey because of "cotton fort". I've seen some strategies before, saying that "cotton fort" in winter is different from what you think ~ ~ ~ I admit that my heart really cooled after watching it, but I have to see for myself. Seeing is believing ~ what I want to present is a real "cotton fort" in February~~
The tour guide said that today's journey is very tense. We have to take an 8-hour bus. In addition, in order to see the most beautiful side of "cotton fort", let's start on time at 7:00 in the morning. Everyone agreed. It seems that everyone is as excited as me~~
In the early morning, a hot-air balloon rose from "cotton fort", and the mood rose~~
We seem to be the first wave of tourists to enter "cotton fort"~~
Because of the time, we didn't go to the ancient city ruins near the "cotton fort"~~
The sun rises ~ ~ Golden ~ ~ so: the early bird has food~~
At first sight, some parts of "cotton fort" have dried up ~ ~ we keep going inside to find water~~
See that steaming place ~ ~ that's the hot spring ~ ~ walking~~
On the side, you have to take off your shoes and socks to enter the hot spring. This is to protect the limestone above from discoloration~~
When I first went in, I didn't get used to it. It was rather cold~~
When your feet are cold, you can quickly stretch into the hot spring ~ ~ it's so comfortable~~
Standing in the warm water ~ ~ looking at the foot of the mountain ~ ~ that's a comfort ~ ~ it's worth it ~ ~ it's worth it to come to Turkey~~
Steaming hot spring water~~
Although one side is dry, but I believe the arrival of summer "cotton fort" will be more beautiful~~
Brave people have been going to the depths, so that we can go all the way to the foot of the mountain. We didn't go because of the time~~
In the back, there is also a bath. It's said that Cleopatra and Anthony had a private meeting~~
Soaking in the bath, you can see the ancient city in the distance~~
Do you remember the pool where Zhiling and Xueyi swim? This is it~~
Ha ha ~ ~ ~ the big rooster Ma Tianyu likes in "pattern sister" ~ ~ Shenyong~~
The sun rose, played about 2 hours ~ ~ although did not enjoy, but still surging~~
I thought it would be boring to start a day's journey, but today is really a harvest of "snow-white" day, with boundless snow all the way ~ ~ ~ what is "relaxed and happy" ~ ~ what is "boundless" ~ ~ excited all the way, I really don't think the 8-hour drive is boring~~
Lunch at noon ~ ~ barbecue ~ ~ chicken ~ ~ one for each ~ ~ super delicious ~ ~ see that bowl of white pudding, no, it's very delicious ~ ~ I ate two bowls~~
The snow was thick outside the restaurant~~
Keep on going to a post station, an ancient post station. I forgot its name. We're going to "kapadochia" soon~~
The hotel kapadochia stayed in is not a cave hotel, but it's also very good ~ ~ ~ behind is the red river~~
Day 6: cappadoccia - carpet shop, underground city, open air museum of Graeme
We're going to be in cappadoccia for two days, probably because of the balloon ride. Because, we originally arranged to start at 6 a.m. today and take a hot-air balloon. At 7 a.m., we announced that we could not fly today because of the weather, so we had to fly tomorrow instead. I feel that it's fate to sit in a hot air balloon~~
So a group of people who got up early began to walk around the hotel~~
Because there are so many ducks, geese and geese, I went to the hotel and took out a lot of bread to feed them. Because of this, the staff of the hotel said ~ ~ ha ha ~ ~ ~ for you, is it easy~~~
Play to 10 o'clock, began today's journey, the first stop carpet shop ~ ~ first visit, then sale, pure manual, very expensive to say~~~
Staff are throwing carpets all over the room ~ ~ invite me to tea~~
But it's really beautiful ~ ~ it's taken secretly~~
Finished today's task of entering the store, arranged a meal with local characteristics at noon, and ate canned beef in the cave~~
Don't look ordinary, but it's really delicious ~ ~ I don't like meat~~~
I forgot, I forgot. I went to the "underground city" in the morning. Because it was too narrow and short of oxygen, I didn't remember it~~
About Baidu:
The houses of the underground castle are planned as bedrooms, workshops, kitchens, weapons depots, storage rooms, wells and cemeteries. The entrance and exit of each floor are equipped with "mechanism", and a large round stone wheel is set above the entrance. If there is an enemy situation, start the switch, and the stone wheel will automatically roll down to block the entrance. Each floor is connected by a ladder, and dozens of vertical holes have been dug for the secret escape. Every time you walk, you will find a long, deep and high cylindrical hole. The head and tail are dark, but there is a breeze blowing in. This is to change the air hole to keep fresh air in the hole.
Afternoon, "said the Graeme open air museum“
About Baidu:
The original names of reme were korama, mertiana, Makan and afgerar. When its vicinity became an important tourist destination, the tourist center of cappadosia, it was renamed greme for practical reasons. In 1985, gremee National Park was listed as a world heritage site. Gremay's location was a settlement in ancient Rome. Christianity was popular in the area at that time, and many rock churches can still be seen today. Gremay has many ornate grotto churches, such as Tokali Kilise and elmal? Kilise, azize Barbara kilisesi, yilanl? Kilise, karann? K Kilise, and & cecedil; ar?kl? Kilise), and many houses and pigeonhouses carved into the rock.
Out of the Graeme open air museum, the tour guide said that he took us to the highest point to see the whole picture of kapadochia~~
Day 7: cappadoccia - hot air balloon; Ankara - father of the nation Memorial
Get up early today, wait ~ ~ ~ today can fly ~ ~ ~ too excited La ~ ~ today is Valentine's Day ~~~
”Valentine's Day "hot air balloon ride is not too hi skin ~ ~ ~ February 14, 2015 ~ ~ * 8*
Layup ~ ~ take off ~ ~ that's a little nervous ~ ~ thought it would be very fast, in fact, it's slow. If you close your eyes, you don't feel moving~~
Our driver, serious all the way, said nothing ~ ~ ~ do you want to be so cool ~ ~?
A hot-air balloon flying is nothing, but a bunch of hot-air balloons flying, which is called a spectacular ~ ~ accompanied by the newborn sun ~ ~ the light, the ball ~ ~ ~ matching that is called a good-looking ~~
One hour's flight time was not very enjoyable, and the balls in the sky fell down one after another~~~
After coming down, there was a small ceremony, drinking champagne and issuing certificates. I also flew over the hot air balloon~~
Hot air balloon tips:
The weather in February is not very cold. I can wear it normally. I'm afraid of the cold. I don't feel very cold ~ ~ maybe I'm too excited. I totally forget the reason. If you are really afraid of the cold, you should bring your own "warm baby" instead of sticking it.
We have completed the key project of "hot air balloon". Our main journey is basically over. We will take a bus to Ankara, the capital, and leave for home tomorrow.
There is a street park in Ankara, which is very common. After less than 10 minutes, let's talk about it~~
Street View of Ankara in the car~~~
Just off the field~~
National Father Memorial Hall
About Baidu:
The father of Turkey memorial was built in Ankara. It was built in memory of Kemal, the founder of the Republic of Turkey.
Ataturk was born in 1881. His real name is Mustafa Kemal. He was a soldier who led the anti-government movement in Turkey after the first World War. In 1920, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey was convened to establish an interim government in Ankara. The monarchy was abolished in 1922. In October 1923, the Republic announced this, and moved its capital to Ankara to become the first president of Turkey. After that, religion and politics in Turkey began to separate. For example, many rights formulated according to the Islamic scriptures were abolished, which made Turkey move towards modernization and independence, and made some domestic political reforms.
Ataturk is the honorific title given to Kemal by Congress in 1934, which means "father of Turks". Kemal died in 1938.
We were just in time for the 4 p.m. ceremony when many Turkish natives silently escorted the wreath~~
I met two new couples. They are the most beautiful~~
Turkey time, this is the end, go home tomorrow. Finally, I put a piece of Turkish food, which is really suitable for the taste of my picky child ~ ~ ~ Turkey, you are worth experiencing~
Completed on April 24, 2015, happy birthday to dear little girl * 8*
