Earth, Ears and Turkey
Without hesitation, I put myself on the finger of the journey. I am not tired.
"The weather forecast says it will snow in London. Getting up in the morning is another winter without snow. " Go to the airport at noon, the destination is Istanbul, maybe it will snow in Turkey ~
Itinerary: Istanbul)-Antalya)-fethiye)-Cottonburg)-Capadocia)-Istanbul.

A trip to Turkey
Sultan Ahmed Mosque
The Blue Mosque has one more pillar than the ordinary mosque, a total of six. According to legend, only the mosque in Mecca, the holy city of Islam, can build six minarets. When building the Blue Mosque, the architect obeyed Ahmed I's "Golden" command, but the sounds of "Golden" and "Six" were very close. Therefore, the Blue Mosque has six minarets.
There are birds hovering over the blue mosque at night.
I like the color of the tiles inside.
Tips Blue Mosque, formerly known as Sultan Ahmed Mosque, as one of the ten wonders of the world, is a must-see for Istanbul. This blue mosque needs no nails. It has a rigorous structure and a unique appearance. It has experienced several major earthquakes in 400 years. 260 small windows, more than 20,000 blue tiles, hundreds of carpets and many Arabic calligraphy works are important attractions of the temple. You must take off your shoes and headscarf when entering the mosque. If not, it doesn't matter. The mosque will provide it.

Topkapa Palace Museum
On the way to find Topkapa Palace, I met a beautiful alley and a beautiful Turk.
realart？
It seems that Turkey, like Greece, is a country that loves cats.
Who is that "Catwoman"?
Topkapa Palace Road hasn't arrived yet.
We stopped and walked along the stone road.
The cats around us also follow us.
The outer wall of Topkapa Palace is also a landscape.
In the Forbidden City in Topkapa, an interesting light was found.
When we came to Turkey, light became the object of our play.
It should be said that if you find the right partner, you can play anywhere.
Come on, how about playing hide-and-seek with the light?
The sun will catch up with the night.
Soon,
I want to be chased by another group of darkness.
Life should be as colorful as this tile. Even if it is not brilliant enough, it must be brilliant.
The little one is a little hazy and beautiful to me.
Praise that I caught the little expert ~
Praise the posing superfine product ~
In this parallel world, the little one is the giant.
Blue sky, white clouds and half the green trees.
Out of Topkapa Palace,
It's getting dark

Taksim Square
Grand Bazaar is one of the largest indoor markets in the world, with 26 branches alone! All kinds of scarves, clothes, jewelry, lighting jewelry and famous blue eyes are really dazzling. I forgot to take pictures when I was shopping, haha ~
Taksim Square (Taksi Mei Dan)
here
I ran into a particularly beautiful restaurant.
The lighting is beautiful and the barbecue is great.
here
On the oldest tram in Istanbul
A mother and her daughter smiled at me.
here
The little guy chasing pigeons also gave me the most charming smile.
Smiling can always lengthen the distance between strangers in an instant.
It's worth more than anything.
"baa ha" (hello) and "goo goo" (goodbye)
We're just laughing. You know how to laugh.
Infection.
After a two-day trip in Istanbul, we flew to Antalya at noon. Because the airport is too far away, we used almost all the means of transportation in Turkey, asked everyone who could understand English, and finally arrived at the hotel by bus, subway and foot. People who know a little English here will try their best to help us. When I got off the plane and changed to a bus, I met a girl on the bus. She said it was much better for foreigners here than for locals. Help us tell the driver where our next stop is. On the subway, I met a boy who called us for a hotel and told us how to take the bus and walk in broken English.
It is late at night, but we are not afraid or nervous. In this strange city, I feel the kindness of people. Arrive at the hotel and prepare for a walk in Antalya the next day.
Tips The most developed means of transportation in Turkey is passenger cars, followed by airplanes and finally trains. The bus online booking system has not been developed yet. It is recommended to buy hospitality vouchers in advance after arriving in Turkey.
Second stop: Antalya Antalya is located on the Mediterranean coast, surrounded by countless mountains. We strolled in this quiet city without making a strategy. Along the way, I met small gift givers, beautiful seascape, lovely children, kind people, happy newcomers and charming sunset.
Best season: April-July is the best. The sunshine time in Antalya is as long as 300 days throughout the year. The Mediterranean climate is a good season for sunbathing and various sea activities.
Hey! We are playing shirts.
Maybe you will meet a little surprise around the corner.
Look up at the blue sky
The blue sky is endless.
The blue sky makes people dream.
During the trip, a temporary decision may bring you better memories.
Come to a very beautiful and historic pier,
I wouldn't have met these lovely and handsome children if I hadn't decided to board the boat temporarily.
They said, can we have one? I said, why not?
A natural little model. The little guys' facebook is still in my diary.
Why Whyistheairinheresonegative?
The younger one said that the photo without face is the most beautiful ~ Scissorhands ~
I said, show your face. How about black and white?
I got off the boat and went to look for the beach. As a result, I lost my scarf. )
"I want to eat Ma Genan," said the little one. It's too expensive.
So along this tortuous road,
The beach is near and far.
Cars roared past us.
We envy but can only move on.
Carecci Historic District
The sudden appearance of the happy couple,
Look at my camera.
Encounter uncertain beauty on the journey,
This is what all travelers want.
Hello, sunshine.
Shadow and Sunset Antalya is a very quiet city, which has brought us many small surprises as a transit point.
We arrived in fethiye in three hours by car from Antalya.
Ghost Town
Third stop: fethiye came to fethiye for two purposes, gliding and going to Cotton Castle.
Kajakko Yi (Kajakko Yi)
An uninhabited abandoned ancient city, hundreds of damaged stone houses stand in the depression on the hillside.
The locals said that going deep along the ruins,
You'll reach the black beach,
The legendary Dead Sea.
At first, there were signposts to guide us.
Then, slowly, the sign became blurred.
There is no road ahead and we seem to have lost our way.
Just like in life, it is impossible for people to show you the way everywhere.
You must explore and discover for yourself.
If you can't get in, quit smartly.
I fell and my shoes were dirty.
Waiting for the bus on the roadside, the locals said that the next bus is estimated to take an hour.
Then we decided to try giving a thumbs up,
Hitchhiking
Bea hitchhiking ~
Fortunately, we caught up ~ even if we are not on the road,
The driver still drove us all the way to our destination.
Heidenitz beach
The bay surrounded by mountains is calm, also known as the "dead sea", and paragliding is a must-experience project.
Seeing them flying in the air, we are ready to act. How about flying?
Waiting for gliding.
Little guy.
The little one kept screaming as soon as it flew out.
Ah ah, she shouted in the sky.
Ha ha ha, I laughed on the mountain.
The wind has changed and I can't fly.
The coach looked at the pendant around my neck.
Satellite shape.
I joked that this is magicball.
He asked seriously, can you realize your wish?
I said, of course.
He made a wish.
I gave it to him, magic ball.
I wonder if his wish has come true?
Anyway, my dream has come true.
Nature doesn't want me to fly today,
I have no choice but to go home.
I was satisfied with the beautiful scenery for free.
Tips Before gliding, photos and paraglider prices should be discussed together.
The next morning, there was good news. The wind changed. You can glide before going to Cotton Castle. When I was in the air, it reminded me of the windy weather in Miyazaki Hayao. The Mediterranean is at my feet. For an instant, I felt that these guys were particularly brave and wanted to learn to glide. But when it landed, it was completely eliminated this year. I feel dizzy. . .
End the flight and go to the next stop, cotton fort.
pamukkale
Fourth stop: travertine in Cotton Castle.
Taking off your shoes and stepping on it is actually very uncomfortable.
The water is cold.
We started playing with sunshine again.
How about a photo?
Although you can't see the snow,
But this is as white as snow,
I like it too.
Continue to play hide-and-seek with the sun.
Our little model
Hey hey, my feet are so ugly.
Lei torres site
Little us, the world.
One step at a time makes people practical.
Come on, smile. With small shoes, my shoes will always be supermodels.
Come out of Hilapolis.
Let's meet the sunset again.
To the coach station, we have to go to the next destination.
cappadocia
I think I will never forget this station in my life.
Unfortunately, it was a student holiday and all the tickets were sold out. But fortunately, we met another enthusiastic uncle. Uncle seems to be in charge here. He helped us from company to company, and almost everyone in the station used to find us two seats. The buses here are very strict, and they definitely don't look overloaded. Strangers are also actively giving us advice. We were going to give up, and the person in charge told us to stick to it for a while, maybe there will be a place.
From 8: 00 to 1 1: 00, finally, I got on a different bus and set off.
Tip: Go from one side of travertine to the other and keep going up, and you will find Hilapolis.
Fifth stop: Capadocia arrived in Gorem town at 6 o'clock the next morning. Yesterday, the person in charge of the station greeted the master and asked him to teach us how to transfer. Snowflakes are scattered outside. At this time, I really want to sleep in the hotel.
Upon arrival at the hotel, our room was unexpectedly upgraded to a deluxe suite. The first time I lived in a cave house, the room was still so big that we slept soundly here. Have enough rest, and then go to see Capadocia.
One morning, I fell asleep beautifully in the cave. Next, we will explore this land that looks like the surface of the moon.
This guy must have jumped out of a rock.
Blue eyes full of trees
There is also a strange IT next to it.
Ugly enough to take pictures.
The stars are so beautiful at night.
Too bad I was.
I can't shoot stars yet.
Gorem open-air museum
Outside the museum, the little man gave me a beautiful picture.
The world in the mirror is the other way around.
Corner of the museum.
After seeing the museum, we walked back along the path and met the hot air balloon vendor.
The ceiling of the whole shop is covered with hot air balloons.
Innocent, we each brought a hot air balloon,
We will go to the highest point to take photos with them.
The advantage of non-tourist season is that the whole surface of the moon is ours.
We didn't take a hot air balloon.
But that night, these two hot air balloons
Bring us wonderful memories.
Who says we haven't been in a hot air balloon? After playing here for a long time, I met two Turks, one of whom is an English major. We had a nice chat. I didn't expect to meet them when I went to the bus station by bus.
Return to Istanbul by coach in the evening.
Between the old city and the new city of Istanbul,
Took the only photo of that day.
The little one finally gave me the roast chicken I wanted on the first day of hunger.
It's not delicious hahaha.
On the same day, we flew back to England and ended our trip to Turkey.
The recent unstable situation in Turkey makes me particularly want to write about Turkey less than a year ago. At that time, people laughed brightly.
-The end-
