Section 1217 Sansheng Stone
When they approached the temple, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were put down, crossed the road, and saw this sign. ~is Temple, recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world. It was destroyed and built several times, from the initial wooden to the later large scale and magnificent marble temple, with 127 pillars, surpassing the Parthenon in the Acropolis in all aspects.
It took 120 to complete it, and it enshrines Artemis, the goddess of fertility and prolificity, and is also the goddess of the moon, named Diana, the Roman name. In the tabloid, I hate the names of Greek mythology that are both twilight and difficult to write, and are typical polytheistic worship. Those biased words test Yunluo's language and historical level once one of the largest temples in the world.
On a dark and windy night, he was set on fire. On the same day, the Macedonian king Alexander, who influenced world history, was born. Some people jokingly said that "the goddess was too busy taking care of Alexander's birth to rescue her threatened temple." Now, on this ruin, there is only a pieced together stone pillar, and there is a bird's nest on the top of the pillar.
Because there are not many relics, there are no charges here and there are very few tourists. Natasha suddenly wanted to worship, but she didn't know how to pray? Haha, under the long-term atheistic education, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi lacked basic understanding in this regard. On the way back to the town, they saw such armed personnel and did not shy away from taking photos of Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi.
The iron art gate has a star and moon sign. It was already noon after noon when I returned to the town, which was quite quiet. The lazy atmosphere made people just want to lie quietly in the sun. Looking at the sign, I knew this was one of the hotels that Yun Luo and Nalan Shiqi were considering staying. There was an unmanned open-air coffee opposite it, and Natasha was lying on a long wooden bench and refused to get up.
When I walked towards the Isabe Mosque, I looked back and saw the stone pillars that were lonely and independent among the grass, and the vast expanses of the world. There were also the ruins of this ancient Turkish bath. There were many small stalls in front of the Isabe Mosque. I liked these small bowls. The Isabe Mosque was very loose, and Natasha, who was not wearing a scarf, also got in.
Seeing that no one was checking, Yun Luo quickly took off his scarf. While visiting the mosque, Natasha expressed her wish to the high minaret directly in front of her, "It's good when can Yun Luo go up and see it." Yun Luo really admired her so much that she had nothing to say. This is Islam. I have never heard of a female imam.
Yunluo's best friend had the courage to come out of the mosque. After returning to the town, the old men were actually hungry when they were playing "mahjong" and walking to these Byzantine diversion canals. Not far from here, the hotel neighbor recommended a small restaurant called efes, ordered three side dishes and a portion of rice, and asked the boss to heat the prawns that he had not finished yesterday, as well as unlimited toast.
At this time, the sunset was hitting the ancient stone pillars. The meal cost only 20 lira. It was discovered that the Turks were very good at using tomatoes and grape leaves. After dinner, they were preparing to visit the ruins of St. John's Church and the ancient castle of St. John's Church. They were under maintenance. Selcuk was not open to the public. The sunset was particularly beautiful.
The first three days, due to public transportation beyond imagination, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi traveled in Turkey very well. Each arrival was earlier than Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi's plan, stayed for a long time, and had a lot of fun. Suddenly, the time seemed to have increased, which made Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi feel the intention of going to Cappadocia.
I asked the hotel owner and 0togar staff about the car time, and carefully arranged the itinerary to find that if I wanted to add Capa without losing the original itinerary, I would have to have at least two nights of night trains. It was too hard to think that Capa was put down again. But such consultations were not nothing. Because they recommended one that was said to be very quiet and the prices were not high.
Alacati, a place where locals in Turkey take a vacation. With the trust of the Turkish locals in the past three days, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi decisively gave up Izmir and moved to the sultankonak B&B in Alacati. At noon, they dragged their luggage away from most of the town and asked countless enthusiastic people.
Finally, I found this B&B near the road at the edge of the town. I can imagine the mood along the way. However, as soon as I opened the gate of sultankonak, the "spring flowers bloom" courtyard is so exquisite and comfortable, and all the hard work is worth it. The owner of sultankonak B&B is a retired airline employee.
This house is not an old house, it was built by the boss's wife and used for only two years in the homestay. When Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi arrived, the boss's wife and her son were not there, and there was only a "maid" who could not speak English (sorry, I couldn't find a more suitable word because I was not a waiter), and there was no check-in.
He directly led Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi to the room upstairs. Then, the maid might have called, and the boss introduced some service items of the homestay to Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi on the phone, including wifi passwords, etc. Each room has a different decorative style.
Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's room was very bold in color. After washing the white and bright red, she walked downstairs. Weletea and desserts were ready. Sitting on the sofa in a corner of the living room, drinking tea with Natasha. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, there were green grass and flowers in full bloom.
The white rocking chair stood quietly, the colorful cushions were scattered. The milky white dog fell asleep peacefully in the warm afternoon sun. It was so beautiful that Yun Luo didn't want to go out again. It was still a distance from Sultankonak to the town, and it seemed like a 20-30-minute walk.
As soon as I entered the town, I saw this new couple. I was invited to be a "props" for a while. The two brothers were very stylish, whether beautiful or not. They were handsome men and beautiful women, making people feel comfortable to look at. Such blue eyes and windmills are the characteristics of the town. Unfortunately, the windmills at the entrance of the town always couldn't find good light.
Therefore, when I took photos without a single photo, I must be the ubiquitous freshness and literature of the town. There are too many wedding sand photos here. There are no lanes and no lanes in front of the door. There are no flowers in front of me. Walk through alleys after shops after shops, and spent the afternoon in a small town. Take a look here, sit there, like this, and like that.
Relax leisurely. So I know why Alacati, without beaches and without historical sites, attracted so many tourists. Alacati is famous for its "copycati" and is a resort for local Turkish people. The cobbles here are not blindly imitated. In history, there were really some Greeks who fled from the other side of the sea to escape from the war.
Later, the war ended, and these foreign talents returned to Greece in the 1920s. The people left, but left a lot of Greek-style buildings. These buildings were abandoned for many years. Until the beginning of this century, someone converted the shaky Greek stone house into a boutique hotel.
So Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi, the "Lijiang" who became the Turkish country, found a scarf woven with silk and cashmere in a small shop, which felt soft. The store didn't know how to speak English, but this smart young man actually used the translation software on his mobile phone to introduce to Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi, how many obstacles have been eliminated in modern information.
I really like this photo, alleys, gravel roads, flowers, sunset and long shadows, tranquility and comfort, all expressions of tranquility and comfort. Yunluo also wants to have a store when it is not busy, so he sits at the door of the store and chats with his best friend and then returns to the sultankonak B&B. The boss lady and her son are back. There is also a pair of locals who are driving on their own.
The boss's wife was very enthusiastic and agreed with Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi for the next day's breakfast time, and asked Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi what they like to eat. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi showed great interest in the construction and decoration of the house. The boss's wife patiently introduced Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi one by one. From the house to furniture, from photos to vases.
It can be seen that the boss's wife is very rich. There is a photo of a young man in a prominent position in the living room. The boss's wife said that it was her husband when he was young. Although Yunluo was very curious, he did not dare to ask randomly and showed necessary cultivation. Later, the boss's son checked in for Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi.
And he cooked tea. Yunluo and Natasha were lazy in the living room and refused to go upstairs for a long time. Natasha's love for this living room was beyond words. She sat almost all the sofas and chairs and had to enjoy them from different angles. In the opposite direction, she encountered the beautiful scenery on the fifth day of Alachat Izmir Safranbolu.
Walk to portalacati from the homestay, and then take a bus to iicabeach. In the afternoon, take the bus to Otogar in Izmir, and take the night bus to Bohonghua City in the evening. There is a small wetland on the way to portalacati. The red water plants and gulls and birds fly around, which is great. Portalacati sees beautiful houses and yachts.
ilicabeach is average. Cost: 3 liras/person from the sea to Alacati, 18 liras/person from Alacati to Izmir, 55 liras/person from Izmir to Izmir wake up early and smell the fragrance of toast. The appetite is wide open and the mood is happy. When you come downstairs, you will see the table full of dishes and bowls. Natasha is like a queen and is very particular about dining tableware.
I like the calves that serve seasonings and olives. The boss and her son come here from time to time, add some hot tea or ask what else to add, or know if the food is used to eating. They also introduce that these foods range from bread to jam, and the various flavors of olives, mostly homemade.
Two local residents who had breakfast while talking were in a hurry to go downstairs with their luggage and coats to chechout in the living room. The boss's son quickly handled the matter. The two residents were next to the fireplace, wearing coats and talking to the boss's lady sitting on the sofa.
The scene was like an ordinary morning. Young people who were eager to go out to work were tidying themselves up while chatting with elders who stayed at home. Alacati was known as the third surfing center in the world. Even when they arrived in such a famous place, they always had to check it out by the beach. Natasha also emphasized that she had not walked on the beach when she came to the Aegean Sea.
He didn't have close contact with the Aegean Sea and looked quite unwilling. The boss's wife and her son introduced that the beach was 3 kilometers away, and suggested that Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi take a taxi in the town. Thinking of Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi having enough time, and Yunluo and Natasha often hike, 3 kilometers was too easy.
It was also sunny outside, so I just thought it was just to bask in the sun more, so I decided to walk. The boss's wife wrote the English name (ilica) of the seaside for Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi, and pointed it to Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi. After leaving the town, I walked along the road and sang, and first saw a small apron and helicopter.
Then there is such a windmill. It seems that wind is really an important resource here. When you encounter a wetland on the road, there is a small piece of red aquatic plants. Although it is not as large as Panjin Hong Beach, it is better than water and water birds. Ecological balance is the place where Yun Luo and Nalan Shiqi are the most incomparable to people now.
After sitting by the water for a long time, watching the Ou Bird fly around and imagine freedom. Not long after moving forward, Natasha excitedly announced that she had seen the masts. Sure enough, she turned a bay and saw these colorful houses. Looking at the signs on the building fence, she knew that this was a project that had not been fully built, with a scenic wall named "portalacati".
The other side of the beautiful house is directly facing the sea. Yachts of various colors are parked on the small pier in front of the house. You can go out to sea and sail long by pushing the door. This is the dream life of many people. Although the scenery in the bay is beautiful, I have never seen surfing or beaches. I believe Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi have not found the right place.
So I asked the staff in the villa area for advice and took out the English place name written by the homestay owner. Unexpectedly, the direction they pointed out was exactly the direction of the homestay where Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi set off. Later, I returned to the homestay and talked about this experience with the boss lady. The boss lady pointed out that Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi were minibus stations.
So Yunluo regretted not studying hard when he was a child and did not master the basic travel tool of English. These are all later stories. After Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi understood the general location, they hurried back. On the road, a private car owner who was traveling took the initiative to stop the car and told Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi where he was going.
Asked Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi if they wanted to take a ride. Yunluo suddenly thanked the locals for their kindness. Although Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi were different from each other and did not get a ride, their favorability towards Turks increased by several percentage points. Walking to the edge of the town, Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi asked people nearby again.
Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi's very bad English, as well as the English that locals hardly know, made Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi not communicate on the same track at all. At this time, there was another private car. The owner's English was good and told Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi that the road was not close, so he could take his car.
But looking at the three powerful men in Kong Wu in the car, Yun Luo did not dare to get on the car. Later, in this small range, Yun Luo and Nalan Shiqi could not find out the truth. The owner of the convenience store asked Yun Luo and Nalan Shiqi to move forward, and the waiter of the coffee shop asked Yun Luo and Nalan Shiqi to move backward, but in short, he couldn't get the point.
When he had no idea, a passing van drove over, and the driver asked Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi if they needed help. It was too necessary. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi gave the place name written to his boss's wife. The driver next spoke a fluent English, how many meters forward, turn right, and cross a few intersections.
After so long asking for directions, Yunluo and Natasha were a little confused, and they nodded their heads in doubt. Maybe it was Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi's lack of positive response, or maybe it was because the road was really difficult to express. The driver stopped introducing and signaled Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi to get on the bus. He wanted to send Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi over.
Seeing the driver with a kind look on his face, he was another person, and more importantly, he had a little collapse in asking for directions in this remote area. Yunluo and Nalan Seqi got on the van. The van first passed the homestay, then passed the town, and drove in the direction that was completely related to "portalacati".
After chatting with the driver, I realized that he was a surf coach. 3 kilometers was too simple for getting to know the road and driving. After a few words, the coach parked the car at an intersection and told Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi to cross the road. Walk straight for up to 5 minutes and you can see the beach.
He also told Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi that there were minibuses here to return to the town. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi said thanks and got off the car and crossed the road. They found that the van had fallen at the intersection and drove back towards the road when they came. Finally, they reached ilicabeach, Natasha took off her shoes excitedly.
The close contact with the Aegean Sea may be due to the gloomy weather. The sea in ilicabeach is not particularly beautiful. Compared with the "portalacati" in the morning and the unknown wetland, Yunluo prefers the beauty of encountering the opposite road in the morning. He takes the minibus back to the town and passes through the city.
I went to the town for a leisurely afternoon tea time. I picked up my luggage at Sultankonak B&B and took a car back to Izmir. The building in Izmir is quite dense and is worthy of being the third largest city in Turkey. The city has a large city, but the air quality is not satisfactory and is obviously not transparent enough.
I planned to store my luggage in 0togar and take a bus to see the konak bell tower. After entering the city, the unique noise in the big city made Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi cancel this plan, bought barbecue and tea in 0togar, checked WeChat, and waited to take the night train to the red flower. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi bought tickets when they were transferring in Izmir yesterday.
Chapter completed!
