Chapter 305: Two in the Morning

Rainbow Steps, Taksim Square, Istiklal Avenue, Qasimpasa Stadium. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Grand Bazaar, University, Ancient City Wall, Kola Church, Golden Horn, Bosbrus Ferry, Spice Market. Morning: The Museum of Islamic Art has taken its own screenshots to mark the place where it went this time, and the positioning cannot be said to be 0% accurate.

That's roughly right, ugly is ugly. The official Bosbrus Sightseeing Ferry is on the pier on the left side of the old place facing the Galatai Bridge! Map [itinerary]: Hadrian's Gate - the old place - the Roman harbor.

The map of the old place of the Aspendos ruins is Hadrian's Gate at the top right, and the whole area is the old place, and most of the tourist hotels are concentrated here. The place of the red triangle is a free museum, which is relatively small. [Itinerary]: Fish Market - Pier next to the Fish Market (during the day).

Paragliding - Beach Park - Pier next to the fish market (at night) Didn't have enough time to go to Kayaco Stone Village. Ephesus route: - Aiden - Selcuk - Ephesus Izmir [Izmir itinerary]: Izmir - Cesme - Ilica ilica - Izmir, last flight.

Domestic transportation Turkey is a country with a relatively developed public transportation system (except for the train is not as good as the bullet train high-speed rail system in the snowfall country), in addition to the train, the country flew twice, and the rest were all solved by buses and subways. The price of oil in Turkey is high, taxis are expensive, because of poverty, there is no experience in renting a car for self-driving and taking a taxi, please feel free to do so.

Amway's website for checking the bus routes between cities in Turkey before going abroad, you can check the bus and the plane (the information of the bus is incomplete but still very useful), which is convenient for planning the trip and booking tickets. 1. Aircraft (see the ticket section above for details, European airports---, 186.82RMB/person.)

Izmir ---European Airport, 341.4RMB/person, onurair airlines) Second, the train has not taken a train in Turkey this time, one of the regrets. After visiting Ephesus, you can take a train from Selcuk to Izmir, which is very cheap and goes directly to Izmir Airport, which is a very good choice for those who do not plan to stay in Izmir.

Because Xueluo and Liu Jingshu had too much luggage and needed to store it at the bus station, they didn't choose the train. TCDD Turkish train ticket Izmir 3, tram, subway focus is coming! How can you travel without public transportation! This is also the most direct way to integrate into the life of the locals. The following is written by city: [] Many strategies are mentioned.

There are two airports in Turkey, one is the European airport, that is, the airport (or Ataturk airport), and there are many international routes. The transportation related to the airport in Asia is not covered in this trip, please refer to the strategies of other gods. Because it is the last stop of the trip, and because of the old place, the subway is developed.

There is no airport bus involved, only the website left before the guide, which has the time of the airport bus: European airport pick-up: slightly expensive. The airport bus (havatas) goes from the airport to the old places in Europe: leave the airport and look for the directions of the metro and walk to the metro station, and you can see the map of the entire bus system.

Office card (buy a one-way ticket can also be, 4LT/person, apply for a card, etc.), take the subway line M1 to Zeytinburnu and get off with the flow of people Tram1, get on the bus in the direction of Kabatas to Cemberlitas or Sultanahmet station, and if you live near Taksim Square in the new city, you must take Tram1 and then transfer to other lines, see the map for details.

Please note the two black dash lines (yellow circles in the picture) between the green line and the dark blue line (Tram1), which are F1 and F2 lines: Taksim (Taksim Square) - Kabatas (Tram1 terminal) is the original F1 line, and Sishane (the end of Istiklal Street).

Karakoy (Tram1 line), now a newly opened F2 line. Before going to Turkey, the strategy only said that there was one, only 1 station, that is, F1, and now there is F2, which is a lot more convenient. Every 3 minutes, the LED screen counts down, and climbs a slope of several hundred meters after starting. Although there is only one stop on the road, it is really super tiring to walk on your feet, and you can save the effort to climb the hill by car.

Tram1 covers almost all of the attractions in Europe. I still remember that the snow fall is marked, but how to pass it down is so small. In the 3 and a half days, all of them were solved with a subway card and foot walking, and the following is a screenshot of the photo after the card [card] came back.

It can be done at the airport subway entrance, the machine has a Chinese interface, 10TL banknotes are stuffed into the machine, 6TL is the card fee, and 4TL is in the card. The first time you swipe the card is 2.3TL, and you can get a discount for transfers, 1.63TL. One card can be used by more than one person, but the second person does not enjoy the discount. Whether there is a discount or not, you can tell by listening to the sound of swiping the card.

Almost every station has machines for top-up, which is very convenient. There are several ways to go to the old place at the airport, because at that time, I met the enthusiastic students of the University of the Mediterranean and the help of private car owners, and took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to Hadrian's Gate by bus and private car, so there was no direct guide to provide.

But after research, it is clear that there are two ways to have buses and trams: 1. HAWALIMANI IN THE LOCAL LANGUAGE OF THE TRAM MEANS AIRPORT, AND THE AIRPORT CAN BE REACHED DIRECTLY BY TRAM FROM HADRIAN'S GATE, YOU CAN GO OUT OF THE AIRPORT TO ASK THE LOCALS FOR THE LOCATION OF THE TRAM STOP, IF THERE IS NO CARD, THE LOCALS CAN HELP SWIPE THE CARD, AND THEN GIVE CASH.

2. After the bus leaves the airport, there is a big red bus on the right hand. Google can locate the driver to stop near Hadrian's Gate. 4TL/person, also swipe the bus card. As for taking a bus from other cities to Otogar, you need to go to Hadrian's Gate, which is more convenient, and you can get out of the station directly by tram.

Tram stop at Hadrian's doorstep. The bus card provided for tourists is a one-time card, like a paper card-like texture, can be recharged 5 times, can be used by tram and bus, 5 times used up to throw it, the back of the card has English instructions. Exit Hadrian's Gate at the old place and walk along the railroad tracks to the left for about 200 meters, and you will see a ticketed cabin.

The card is available for processing, including 10TL of travel fees. Of course, you can buy it at many small grocery stores down the street. And Ephesus, Cesme and other places public transportation is solved by large and small cars, and it is written in the bus part. 【Izmir】Izmir's public transport system is also relatively developed, and ferries, trains, and subways can be solved with bus cards.

After taking the CESME bus from Cesme to the airport, I couldn't help but study the public transportation of Lower Izmir because I had enough time, took the subway to the city, and walked to the beach in the center of the city to see the Aegean Sea at night before returning, so there is a public route in Izmir. Take the metro from Izmir Airport to the city center of Izmir.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu get off at alsancak, and the left hand side of the station is the aforementioned TCDD train station, and it takes ten minutes to walk from there to the seaside, and there are a lot of restaurants along the way. The picture below is the route map for free pick-up at the subway ticket office: from the airport to Alsancak, 6TL/person round trip.

It's also a card like a piece of paper. It's just that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu received 12TL for two people when they went to the city center, and when they came back, they only needed 6TL for two people, and they reconfirmed with the conductor that it was 6TL, and they were confused, and they didn't know which one was correct. Let's find out which one it is.

Fourth, the bus and minibus want to say that in addition to the toilet in Turkey, what impressed me on this trip is the bus of Turkey! Indeed, as the previous guide said, the price of long-distance buses and the service of airplanes. There is free water, drinks, snacks provided, there is a small TV in the seats, the key is that the bus environment is not a little smelly, clean!

Let's reiterate three. Bus companies mainly include METRO, PAMMUKALE, etc., and there are other types that I can't remember the name. The station in Turkey is called Otogar, and the counters of the bus companies are almost all side by side.

Soliciting customers is very enthusiastic, you can come forward to ask the price, different companies, different shifts, there is no big difference in the price, choose the right time for yourself to buy. There are also many ticket agencies on the street, and you can book them when you see the logos of these companies. I took a few buses and minibuses on this trip: [――].

METRO company bus, 35TL/person, more than 4 hours to arrive. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went to Otogar to buy them. Inside Otogar Station, I only took a picture at that time and the staff stepped forward to stop it. Behind the national flag are the counters of various bus companies. CONTACT DETAILS OF METRO.

I almost forgot to write about the method of getting to the ruins of Aspendos by public transport: the ruins are far away from the city, considering the jet lag and long-distance flights, this trip abandoned Sidai and the ancient city to the west, and only went to the ruins of Aspandos. Aspendos is more than 40 kilometers away from the city, and I asked the landlord at that time to understand that it was said to be a chartered car.

Ask the cost of a few hundred dollars, directly veto, study public transportation. Thanks to the help of the local enthusiastic bus driver, there are the following strategies: 1. Take the tram to the EXPO station (it is also the terminal of the tram, pay attention to whether you can get to the EXPO, although some flights are in the same direction but turn to the airport.

Don't get on the bus blindly), get off the bus and go to the right on the overpass, get off the overpass to the side of the road and wait, see that there is a white bus that is a little smaller than the long-distance bus is the minibus, beckoning to stop, and tell the driver to go to Serik Serik Town. 6TL/person, stop at Serik Town Station and get off.

The minibus to the Aspendos ruins is waiting for the station in situ, 3TL/person, every hour. There is an old man on duty in the small kiosk at the station, and he is very enthusiastic to tell you the departure and frequency, please calculate the time, and the return journey is the same. 2. Take the bus directly from Otogar bus station to Serik Serik for 10TL per person.

Get off the bus and wait for the minibus to Aspendos. This is the access to the Otogar metro station. After checking the number of trains to EXPO at the subway station and waiting for the train, you can sit directly at the terminal EXPO and come out to see this colorful overpass, go to the right on the overpass, and go down to the street lamp on the right in the picture and stand under the car to serik.

Serik Serik town, a fork in front of the station. From here, take a bus to the ruins of Aspendos. Coming out of the ruins also goes straight back from here. The white bus of the size shown in the picture is called a minibus. [――Ephesus]:――Aiden, PAMMUKALE company bus, 40TL/person, 3 hours to arrive.

I bought it in Otogar and said hello directly from the station at that time. Aiden-Selcuk, wait for the first minibus to Selcuk in the early morning at Aiden station, 8TL/person. Selcuk-Ephesus, direct Selcuk station and other minibuses to the entrance of Ephesus scenic spots, 2.5TL/person.

The return trip is the same. This is the first train from Aiden station to Selcuk, after getting off the bus from Pammukale, there is this car on the basement floor next to the station, it is easier to find, you can ask the people at the station with photos. At that time, I was so sleepy that I didn't leave any other photos. [Selcuk - Izmir]: Buy tickets at Selcuk station, minibus, TL / person.

to Izmir Otogar. [Izmir - Cesme - ilica - Cesme - Izmir Airport]: Izmir - Cesme, look for cesme company in Otogar, Izmir, only this company has a car to Cesme, 17TL / person. Cesme -- ilica.

The three small places are directly in Otogar with minibuses to each other, Cesme goes 4TL/person and the other is 3TL/person. Cesme-Izmir Airport, also by CESME, goes directly to the airport, 25TL per person, and if there are fewer people in the off-season, it will be directly sent to Izmir Airport by bus and car.

Below is the contact information for CESME in each location, and the name and address above can be directly googled to find the location of the station. This is the contact information of METRO company, I was going to Aiden at that time, and compared it with PAMMUKALE, the price is the same, the departure time is different, and METRO is not selected, and it is provided to those who need it.

Museum Pass & Ticket & Paragliding & Strait Ferry 1, Museum Pass There are several types of Turkish Museum Passes, there are local cities with their own museum passes, and there are Turkish countries with the entire country. Turkish Museum Pass, 185TL, silver-gray card face, valid for 15 days. I only came across this thing in Ephesus, and I didn't buy it at the time.

There are many scenic spots, especially museums, and the museum card is relatively affordable. 85TL/person, valid for 5 days, go to a few more attractions and earn it back. (Not available at the Basilica Cistern, Royal Palace of Dolmabahce, Galata Tower, separate tickets are required.) Yicheng Museum Pass: 2. This trip is in addition to the Museum Pass.
