From 1465 to 1853 it was the official residence and main residence of the Ottoman sultans in the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoTopkapi Palace, once a venue for state ceremonies and royal entertainment, is now a major tourist attraction in the region. Topkapi Palace translates to "Cannon's Gate", and it is named after the cannons that used to be placed in the bunker.
The palace also includes the main hall and the harem, the harem is an additional ticket, the whole palace and the Yunluo Grand Palace may be a little inferior to the Grand Palace Museum, but it is completely European style, and the location is excellent, you can overlook the Bosphorus in all directions. Hagia Sophia, in Greek, means wisdom of God.
It is a religious building located in present-day Istanbul, Turkey, with a long history of nearly 1,500 years, famous for its huge dome, and is a model of Byzantine architecture that "changed the history of architecture". It has to be said that different religions blend well in this city, and the two buildings stand opposite each other in this way, harmonious and beautiful.
But Hagia Sophia requires tickets, and you can queue up to buy tickets and then enter directly, unlike in China, where you usually queue up at the ticket office, and then go to the entrance to enter. The above is the famous crying stone pillar, Sister Chi Ling, they also took a shot here, legend has it that the thumb is placed in the hole in the middle and then can be rotated clockwise to get happiness, many people line up here.
Friendly reminder: The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are very tall buildings, and you should always look up at them, so people with bad cervical spine can bring a plaster before coming out. Diagonally across the path from Hagia Sophia is the Basilica Cistern, which is also mystical because of the evil god Medusa, the gorgon who is imprisoned here.
In Greek mythology, mortals would turn into stone statues if they looked at her. On one side of the water palace, the head of the banshee is pressed under two huge stone pillars. One faces down, and the other faces downwards. Exactly why it was placed in this way is unknown. Listening to this myth, go to the end of the water palace and see Medusa. It's a bit of an eerie feeling.
And when he turned his head, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's selfie sticks disappeared, Nalan Shiqi said: Could it be that Medusa wants to petrify herself and look at her eyes and forehead through selfies. At lunchtime, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked along the road to the Grand Bazaar. I found a kebap, the first Turkish kebab meal, and the main reason for choosing this one was that it had big wifi.
The wifi that came out to rent this time was simply terrible and extremely slow. Kebap is a general term for barbecue, and in Turkey kebap is also divided into various skewers, meatloaf, pickles, etc., and the meals ordered here are all served by one person. Plates such as grilled meats, salads and rice are included, and each restaurant starts with a free flatbread or scone.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo ordered the eggplant roast beef below. After dinner, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo followed the street signs of the Grand Bazaar and ran to the Grand Bazaar, less than 1 km away, the Grand Bazaar means bazaar, which mainly sells handicrafts, including blue eyes (legend has it that in order to attract the attention of demons, blue eyes can ward off evil spirits, and demons will see blue eyes first.
Almost every house in Turkey will hang blue-eyed ornaments), various lamps, carpets, and other Turkish characteristics. But I feel that there are not many things that can actually be bought and used, and they can be bargained. After visiting the Grand Bazaar, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are already tired, but the route back is probably less than 2 kilometers if you walk.
If you take T1 to go or walk 1 kilometer to sit again, in short, it is more embarrassing, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked back frantically, just passing by the Golden Horn Bridge in the Bosphorus, but their legs are no longer obedient. The Bosphorus, also known as the Istanbul Strait, is a narrow waterway that connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara.
Together with the Dardanelles Strait and the Sea of Marmara, the Turkish Strait (also known as the Black Sea Strait) and the strait separating the Asian and European parts of Turkey bought large cherries on the way, which is worth more than 7 yuan a catty. Back to the hotel it was already past 5pm Turkish time.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were about to rest for a while before going out to forage for food, but Jet Lag Jun directly let Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo sleep until the next morning. Istanbul's Old Town, where Islamic music is played every day, has an air of history. The particular building is full of religious content, but she is unbiased and integrates openly and beautifully.
Exist. Fashionable and European-style Istanbul New Town, proud and charming ** Street - Taksim Square - Galata On the second day of Istanbul, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked around the new town, and the hotel is near these attractions in the new town. So it's OK for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to go on foot.
**The main street is the main street in the center of Istanbul, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo came out too early, and the shops on both sides have not yet opened. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked along ** Street, and at the end of their walk to the side was Taksim Square. Taksim Square, the equivalent of Istanbul's square.
It is one of the most important city centers in Istanbul, one of the commanding heights. It's home to Istanbul's liveliest shopping street, as well as the world's shortest metro. But compared to the squares of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, Taksim Square is too small, almost like the city hall square of a domestic city.
But it's a mecca for Turkish fans. The small tram that shuttles from ** Street to Taksim Square is undoubtedly the most feeling here. Taksim Square is also the transportation hub here, because in the afternoon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had to take the airport bus to Sabiha Airport in Asia to take a plane, so they went to find a place to take the airport bus in advance.
I have to say, it's better not to ask your peers for directions, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo asked two taxi drivers, and they said "finish" to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, saying that there was no airport bus. Later, there were many hotels next to it, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went to ask the hotel front desk, only to know that the place next to it was to take the airport bus, and it ran every half an hour.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo got on a small tram from Taksim Square back to the other end of ** Street, and then went to Galata. There are a lot of small shops with a lot of feel along the way, playing small Turkish music, and it is quite artistic. Galata Tower, located on the other side of ** Street, offers a panoramic view of the whole of Istanbul.
At the top of the tower is an elevator on 7 floors, and then a short wooden staircase is reached, and the top is very small, and there is only one person in each place around the tower. The ticket price seems to be 25 lira, which is a bit expensive. It's almost time. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went back to the hotel to pick up their luggage, just in time to take the small tram to Taksim Square again and then transfer to the bus, saving their luggage.
But the problem is that you can't buy tickets in cash on the bus here, so you can only get a bus card. Then the self-service card vending machine only charged 10 lira, so Nalan Shiqi ran to the side and there was a lottery ticket seller for change, but he didn't come back for half a day, and later learned that the Turkish lottery ticket seller won the prize and didn't give the prize, Nalan Shiqi came back depressed. Was pit 5 lira.
But fortunately, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo successfully caught the tram. Turkish Lottery Scratch Card: After getting off the bus, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's bus card is useless, and there is still 5 lira in it, but there is no way to return it, Yunluo told Nalan Shiqi that Yunluo was going to sell it, and as a result, Yunluo exerted his strong small trader mind.
Sold the bus card smoothly to the other two tourists who were going to take the tram, 5 lira, hahaha! As foodies, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo couldn't leave Istanbul like this. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found a more professional-looking kebap shop and ordered a variety of barbecue platters, including chicken, beef patties, beef cubes, fat beef, and mutton mixture.
Then I bought the famous Turkish ice cream, and the guy who sold the ice cream would "tease" you a little bit, and pretended that the ice cream fell on the ground when it was handed to you, which was quite funny. After eating their fill, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went to take the airport bus, noting that there are two airports in Istanbul, and the European side is Ataturk Airport.
The Asian zone is Sabiha Airport, which is far away, so you should pay attention when arranging your trip. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are going to the airport in Asia. The airport bus has a timetable and then takes Pegasus Airlines from the airport in Asia to Denizli (the province where Pamukkale is located). Airport Limousine Bus Timetable.
Pegasus Airlines' baggage check-in is 15kg per person, and the baggage weight of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo has been well controlled, which is the same as in China. Nalan Shiqi and Yunlu landed at the airport in Asia, changed their registration cards, checked their luggage, and then went to the boarding gate, the plane was delayed by an hour, and it seems that foreign countries are the same, often delayed.
Pegasus Airlines is a low-cost airline. There is no water and food on the plane, but fortunately, it takes more than 1 hour to fly to other cities in Istanbul, which is fine. Then there are flight attendants and flight attendants who will push carts on the plane to sell things, which are often expensive. Upon arrival at Denizli Airport.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took their luggage and went to the city, they didn't check how to get there before, they asked the Turks next to them when they got off the plane, and then said that there was a car to deniziliotogar (Denizli bus station means), ok, this is it, just booked a hotel near the bus station, so to go to Pamukkale or transfer to other places are very aspect.
About the bus drove for nearly an hour, arrived at Deniziliotogar, and then to find a hotel, wifi is not reliable, can not be found according to the map, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo asked all kinds of people on the side of the road, fortunately, the Turks are still very enthusiastic, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo through a bus station hall to arrive at the Yildirim Hotel.
yildirimhotel said: Nothing other than convenient location. Yunluo was booked on Ctrip the day before, I have to say that Ctrip still needs to be improved, the booked double room, but only one person can be filled in when filling in the occupancy, well, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo said that they can only stay alone, otherwise they will add money, and it is OK.
As a result, according to the price of Ctrip, it is not as cost-effective as staying directly in the hotel, but I finally found it, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were logically cheche The next day, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo appreciated the arrogance and charm of Istanbul New City, and then came to Denizli, dragging their tired bodies.
But still full of passion in their hearts, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo fell asleep, looking forward to tomorrow's Pamukkale. After getting up in the morning, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo first packed their luggage, then checked out after breakfast, and then left their luggage at the hotel, because they didn't know when they would finish visiting Pamukkale.
I have to say that the hotel in Turkey and the security is still trustworthy, the luggage storage is actually the luggage in the hotel lobby, I heard that some friends also store the luggage at the bus station, so this saves the luggage to go shopping. In addition, it is worth commending that the breakfast in Turkey is still good, and basically the hotel will have free breakfast.
It is recommended to choose a hotel with breakfast when booking a hotel, otherwise it will be very troublesome to go out to eat by yourself. After packing up, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo crossed the road to Deniziliotogar, and asked the staff that it was the bus to Pamukkale, and reminded everyone that the Turkish English seems to be "teen" and "ty" are not very different.
So when asking the time, remember to confirm, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo heard him say that the 70th entrance downstairs is the minibus to Pamukkale, in fact, after looking for it again, they found that it was the 17th entrance. The minibus to Pamukkale is basically Mercedes, only a few minutes, 35 lira per person, very convenient.
It took less than half an hour to get to Pamukkale. Pamukkale is not only home to thousands of years of natural hot springs, but also to this strange cotton-like hill. The Turkish word pamuk means cotton, and kale means castle, and the springs have been calcified and precipitated over thousands of years as they flow from the rocks 200 meters above the plains.
Forming layers of semi-circular white stairs, it looks like large cotton flowers standing on the hills from a distance, so Pamukkale is called Pamukkale. Get off the minibus, there is a small road on the right, go up all the way and cross the road to Pamukkale, after getting off the bus there are Turks who will enthusiastically tell you how to get to Pamukkale.
In about 5 minutes, a fairyland-like place comes into view. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were so excited! The picture above is the back of Pamukkale, there is an entrance to the right, after buying a ticket, there is a way to climb up to the top of Pamukkale, to near the calcareous layer, you have to slip in, there will be staff watching.
