The 1221st flower bloomed last year
Glory, conspiracy and blood, melting in the warm sunshine. The station hall has transformed into multiple functions, including museums, displaying the era of Oriental Express; entertainment clubs, rotating dance performances twice a week, and such a Turkish tea room. There is only one person in the so-called waiting hall, waiting for the car. △
Or are tourists who fall like clouds to meet the legendary stories? Oriental Express is a special train that ran across Europe more than a hundred years ago. The 1930s were his prosperous period and he became famous for his luxury and comfort. There are endless royal families, nobles, merchants, scholars, diplomats and celebrities in various countries.
The Orient Express has changed its route many times, but the main directions are generally the same. It goes from Paris (sometimes crossing the sea to London) through Munich, Vienna, Bucharest, Belgrade, Varna, Bulgaria and other places to reach the mysterious Istanbul. The Orient Express originally meant an international train to the East.
After the interpretation and dissemination of literary works, it is now used to refer to passionate foreign travel or luxury tours. At present, the station is only responsible for passenger transport services from Istanbul to Europe. Not far from Sirkegi Railway Station is the Galata Bridge. People fishing on the bridge regardless of time or season, just blindly.
This is their own tea samovar. When Yunluo was curious about this object, the enthusiastic locals actually asked Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to have a drink. Along the way, I can't remember how many simple and enthusiastic people they met, and they made Yunluo's trip to Türkiye full of beauty.
The world-wide selfie mode is also a look at the eminonu Pier and the Galata Tower. It is so kind-hearted that while giving Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi an hour, it also gave Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi a clear sky. The forecast rain has not appeared. Golden Horn Bay and Galata Tower are under this clear sky.
In the last time when Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi were about to leave, the most beautiful appearance that Yunluo saw was shown. I don’t know if it should be said that God pity Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi, or if it should be said that God loves Istanbul and Türkiye is truly a European enjoyment. Prices and accommodation in Asia are cheap.
Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi were looking for the whole trip on booking. Except for the first stop Pamukkale, which was booked before departure, the others were determined based on the itinerary the night before. This is also one of the tips for saving money. Booking accommodation that cannot be cancelled is cheaper. There is no way, are you poor? Save as much as possible.
This time, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi tried the B&B. It was not only elegant, but also easier to get close to and understand the locals. It was very good. 1. Pamukkale melroseviewpointhotel, booked on booking, $54 per night. The newly built family hotel, the housing is very clean and the Mediterranean style decoration.
The restaurant terrace has a good view. The owner is very enthusiastic and sends you to the scenic spot and bus station for free. The disadvantage is that the dinner is greasy and expensive. The overall review is good. Recommended 2. Selcuk rkmezhotel. $50/night. In the center of the town, away from the bus station.
The railway station and various attractions are not far away. In front of the door is the ancient Roman stone pillars from a thousand years ago. There are many small restaurants and supermarkets around, and it is convenient to eat and shop. The boss is very enthusiastic, the boss's son is very handsome, and the thoughtful service and chat are quite heartwarming. The conditions are too simple. The overall evaluation is average. 3. Alacati Sultankonak Family Hotel.
$69/night. Very good family hotel, owned by a Swiss Airlines retired employee. The furnishings at home are also very particular. The hall is chatting around the fireplace and drinking tea and watching antiques. Breakfast is specially made. It is full of tables covered with lace lace tablecloth. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, there are hammocks, beauties, and rocking chairs in the yard.
There is also a huge cushion that seems to be unintentionally placed casually. Everything is very satisfactory, except for that dog. You should know that Yunluo is a very afraid of dogs. Also, this is more suitable for self-drivers. After all, the hotel is a bit far from the town. The overall evaluation is very good, and it is highly recommended. 4. Crocus: mehveshanimkonagi.
This is the inn that Yunluo most yearns for before his departure, and it is also the most expensive in all the itineraries in Turkey. It exceeds the hotel in Istanbul. $89 per night. The quaint houses, quaint decorations, and a quaint lifestyle. You have to take off your shoes as you enter the door, and the whole building is covered with carpets (that is a Turkish carpet).
After checking in, I went directly to the room without a key. There was only a symbolic lock on the door, which could be opened inside and outside. When I went out, I just closed the door symbolically, indicating that someone lived there. The breakfast was made by the boss's wife himself. It was very rich. The overall evaluation was very good, and I highly recommend it. 5. Istanbul: Diamondroyalhotel.
$158/2 nights. The room is very small, and you can't put anything else when you open your suitcase. It should be newly renovated and it's quite clean. The bathroom equipment is relatively new. It is located behind the old railway station, very close to the light rail station. Walking to the Old Palace, Sophia Cathedral, Blue Mosque, and the Pier, and the Galata Bridge.
Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi ordered a twin room, and gave a big room, apologized for sending a red wine and a large fruit plate. The staff were enthusiastic, but not professional enough. With the surrounding area being 100 US dollars per night, the cost-effectiveness is considered high. The overall review is good, recommended.
Regarding transportation to and from Istanbul and to Izmir, it is a plane, and from Izmir to Denizli, it is a train. The others are all taken intercity buses, and there are minibuses to the scenic spot. In Istanbul, it is mainly a tram. The bus transportation in Turkey is very developed, with many routes and short intervals.
The road conditions and car conditions are very good, and the management is scientific. No matter how long the distance is, the bus stops at the rest stop every 2 hours. The driver goes to smoke a cigarette, drink tea, and rest. The tram blue line in Istanbul is very useful, Grand Bazaar, Suleiman Mosque, Blue Mosque, Sophia Cathedral.
Topkapa Palace, Sirkegi Railway Station, Yeni Mosque, Spice Market, Eminonu Pier, Galata Bridge, Galata Tower and the New Palace are all on this line. Of course, Yunluo and Nalanshuqi are often walking, because Pamukkale, Kusadas, Selcuk, and Saffron City are not big.
Walking completely meets the needs, and Istanbul's attractions are relatively concentrated, with walking and public transportation. In Istanbul, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi discovered art steps, which is one of the top ten art steps in the world. As for food, as the third largest food country represented by mutton, and also the kingdom of spices, "eating" is naturally a must-have item for Turkey travel. Personally, it is a taste of high to low.
Grilled fish burger (Emino Pier in Istanbul), grilled fish (at the seaside), stew with rice (Selcuk), bagels (including naan and bread), barbecue (in various places), pudding, sea red rice, lamb meatballs, grilled corn, and roasted chestnuts. In addition, eating a grape leaf beef roll in rosé is a local specialty, which is generally.
The roasted potatoes must be very close to Russia, so I didn't try them. The desserts are also local Turkish specialties, not sweet. The special ice cream is more expensive than ordinary ones, and it is not as delicious as ordinary ones. It's just fun. The pomegranate juice is very healthy and completely freshly squeezed. Turkish tea should be tried, especially the apple tea is slightly sour, which is very delicious about shopping cashmere scarves.
Pure cotton knitted products, various fruit teas, olive oil skin care products, essential oil soaps, spices, fudge and Turkish carpets, silver tableware, and various plates are all local features. Blue eyes (also known as evil eyes) are everywhere and are very beautiful, but I didn't dare to buy it because I read a little gossip. Overall, the prices in Istanbul are higher than those in other places.
Especially handmade, in Saffron City, items of the same texture in Alacati are much cheaper. But no matter where they are, Turkish carpets are not cheap. There are small bottles of pomegranate sauce. Similar to light soy sauce, with barbecue, etc., it is more distinctive and not expensive, with 2.9 lira per bottle.
Experts who like cooking can buy it for a different taste. Regarding the expenses, Turkey's prices are more expensive than Southeast Asia and cheaper than Europe. Excluding air tickets, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi are US$700 per capita in Turkey, including accommodation and transportation (excluding flight tickets from Istanbul to Izmir).
The expenses also depend on personal situations, especially accommodation. Luxury and frugality are very different. Talking around is very rare and popular in Turkey. Turkish men have the openness of Europeans, but they do not have the arrogance of Europeans, and never hide their love for Asian women.
Especially for single women who travel, young and old. After understanding this, it may be helpful for everyone to deal with the chat. First, don’t think you are so charming. Second, don’t think that the other party is so abrupt. Yun Luo met several chats in Türkiye as a small behind-the-scenes.
The first time I went to the Ancient City Theater in Pamukkale, I only went to Turkey for more than 10 hours. I first had to take a photo, and then I said a lot of things Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi couldn't understand in English or Turkish. I followed Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi not far away and asked Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi to see this and that one.
Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi showed no interest from time to time, and just wanted to get rid of him early. The second time at the beach of Kusadasi, the man praised Yunluo for being beautiful, and said that Yunluo looked like ladygaga, never associated himself with fashion, and was very useful for the moment.
After Yunluo introduced him, Yunluo politely extended his hand to express "nicetomeetyou". He didn't want the other party to shake hands, but kiss. Western etiquette still cannot afford it. Yunluo said that he did not have it in the next Facebook. The third time on Independence Street in Istanbul, Yunluo was filming street scenes.
The man posed for the photo, which made Yunluo mistakenly think that it was because of the locals who liked to take photos and acted well. After Yunluo finished taking photos, he asked to see the photos, and Yunluo showed them to him. He first praised Yunluo for his good skills, and then said that the scenery was very good, the people were beautiful, and so on, so he also took photos of Yunluo.
He also said that he had to send Yunluo a photo to Yunluo and asked Yunluo for his phone and email. Yunluo generously showed him the phone number on his phone. Yunluo believed that he would definitely not know Yunluo's area code. Then he said that his home was nearby and wanted to invite Yunluo to have a cup of tea. Yunluo expressed his gratitude and said that he had no time.
He was unwilling to say that he only took a little time. After 9 days of traveling in Türkiye, Yunluo also had experience in this, and he still politely expressed that his friends were waiting for Yunluo.
He expressed respect and said he would call Yunluo. This was a technically stolen chat. Natasha joked about this. Another thing I want to say is that in Turkey, there was only 9 days when crocus was not met, which shows that the local folk customs were simple.
I always thought that happiness is in the distance, in the future that can be pursued. Later I discovered that those who have hugged, holding hands, singing songs, shed tears, and loving people, the so-called past is happiness.
At 5:00 in the morning, the alarm clock woke up naturally before it rang. The jet lag fell too fast, so I got used to it so quickly. The sky was gradually turning white. The Aegean Sea was still asleep. The air was very fresh.
When I get up and have breakfast, it is not very delicious. Yunluo is afraid of it. 30tl. Turkey has a long sunshine, so the fruit is very juicy and sweet. Many locals on the beach are running along the Aegean Sea during morning travel, and Yunluo is willing to do so.
Today I am going to the ancient city of Iphiso. I heard that it is very well preserved. It is a representative work of ancient Greek architecture. Then take your luggage and set off. Go south, from Canakkale to Izmir.
Izmir izmir is a medium-sized city built on the mountain with a population of 5 million and a very high-rise building, but there are almost no high-rise buildings in the whole city. There are many gas stations in Turkey and many brands, and the oil price should be relatively cheap for Turks. It is less than 4TL.
After lunch, we arrived at the ancient city of Ifiso. This is an ancient city built more than 2,300 years ago. But its construction level is no less than that of today. The entire ancient city is round, with residential areas in the center and surrounded by various urban facilities. The opera house is not large above the marble avenue and can only accommodate about 200 people.
European-style marble pillars were seriously damaged in the earthquake. Only a few still stood tall, but they were in danger. You can't touch them. If you overwhelm it, you won't be able to estimate the value, and you can't afford to work in Türkiye for the rest of your life.
Walking on this marble-paved main city road, you can imagine the prosperity here. The city's public hall, the Pritanéon sacred fire platform, is still well preserved. The sacred fire guarded by the goddess Vista, symbolized by Ifeso, has burned for centuries. This is a symbol of the city. The fire of the fireplace is not extinguished and the city is prosperous. Once it is extinguished, a new location will be selected to build the city.
The work of looking at the stove was quite sacred at the time. It must be the children of nobles and wealthy people. Women watch the fire, men send firewood, and work for 30 years before they get married and have children. It can be seen that the effort is great. Ifiso has all the facilities, the hospital has its own logo. This logo has been used by the Turks to this day and can be seen in ambulances.
Ifiso has a large square, just like now, where people can date and meet. It is worth mentioning that there is also a statue of the goddess of victory in the square. The soldiers will touch her breasts before going to war, so her breasts have changed from c to a. God is a kind of faith, and God is an incarnation, and it is no wonder that people worship.
The Avenue of Celebrity is similar to the current Hollywood Avenue of Fame. In order to commend people who have made outstanding contributions to the city, their statues are placed on both sides of the Avenue to inspire the social atmosphere. This road is guarded by Herracles, who is given eternal because he is a half-god and half-man.
Ifiso had the earliest Turkish bath. What’s amazing is that floor heating was already there at that time. The earliest public toilets equipped with toilets were also here. The two are good places for women and men to gossip. Ifiso also has a brothel and a gladiator for people to entertain.
What I saw at this time was the library at that time, which was very complete, with a three-story high brand door. The stone carvings were meticulously carved and the color was a little yellow, but it did not affect its majestic temperament. The city logs of the time were preserved here to help Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi learn more about Yifeiso.
Only when you look up at the snow-white marble arches and penetrate the blue sky with your own eyes, will you understand why Iphiso is the glory of ancient Greek civilization. Pavement, statues, buildings, all the snow-white marble, carefully carved.
The mosaic patio and the vast amphitheater make people excited, and the city center is a two-story marble library. If you don’t come here in person and look up at the white marble columns from the gaps between the corridors and penetrate into the blue sky, you can’t even experience the pure worship of human wisdom and gratitude to your ancestors!
With a heart full of reluctance, I walked on the boulevard leading to the exit and was about to leave Ifeso. The streets are no longer lively. There are more marks of time and many stones are placed in a mess. They cannot find their place back then. In a thousand years, civilization will not disappear and will still be immortal.
In the evening, I came to Grandbelish in Kusadasi, Kusadasi. There was such a nice sea view hotel in such an introverted village, which surprised Yunluo and Nalan Seqi.
The beautiful Aegean Sea sunset is quiet and intoxicating. Stepping on the soft beach, letting the sand flow through the toes, itchy. The sea surface is shining golden, and the feeling of gold is full of eyes. Is it willing to grow old here with Yunluo?
I woke up early in the morning and wanted to see the sunrise, but I forgot that the sun rose and set in the east, so naturally there was no sunrise on the sea. The sky in the Aegean Sea was red by the morning sunlight, shy and cute, and the white chairs on the beach were standing in rows. Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi went to the villa area behind and met the big yellow dog who was playing together on the beach the day before. It actually recognized Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi and ran over to follow them all the way.
After finishing his trip to Turkey, Nalan Shuqi left alone. Yun Luo flew back to Xihu City, Jiangnan Province, and went directly to Qiantang County with An Qingju.
