Türkiye is back but doesn’t want to go again

It's back, but the backlash that Turkey doesn't want to go again is too great A country that spans the Asian and European continents with mountains, water and history. I can't wait to come back. Looking forward to my next trip~ Brush to earn it!~ Attractions Recommended: 1 Istanbul: Hagia Sophia. Turkey + Greece should play like this, the back strength is too big 😭 I would call this itinerary the "Guide to Crossing the Eurasian Continent"! Not only can get the blue and white romance of Santorini, but also have a guide to take us to unlock the hidden seats in Pamukkale, than ins celebrities photographed more like an alien surface, the key every day is the fairy hotel ah sisters! Sisters who plan to travel abroad during the summer holidays, please follow this line! 🌟 **Turkey Travel Guide: A Mashup of Romance and Madness! ** 🌟 --- ### **📌 Must-See Attractions Recommended** **1. Istanbul – the “drama” city across Europe and Asia** - **Hagia Sophia**: Byzantine and Ottoman “hybrids”, solemn by day and magical by night. - **Blue Mosque**: Free admission, but remember to take off your shoes (please prepare in advance if you have holes in your socks). - **Grand Bazaar Bazaar**: 3000+ shops, please bring acting when bargaining, please keep smiling when the boss says "sell at a loss". - **Transportation**: Metro, tram super convenient, bus card (Istanbulkart) a tap to the end of the world. **2. Cappadocia – the fairy tale world left by aliens** - **Hot Air Balloon Sunrise**: Wake up at 4am worth it! Never sat ≈ never been to Turkey (budget? I was able to pretend to be flying there even if I took pictures at the top of the mountain). - **Dungeons**: Short guys are friendly, tall guys please bring your own helmet (don't ask why). - **Transportation**: Fly from Istanbul to Nevshehir (1 hour), or night bus (save money but a pain in the butt). **3. Pamukkale – God’s Overturned Milk Jar** - **Pure White Calcification Pool**: Walking barefoot is like acupressure board massage, expression management failures beware. - **Ancient Roman Site**: Pretend to be a noble (remember to bring a swimsuit) while looking at the thousand-year-old pillars while soaking in the hot springs. - **Transportation**: Take a minibus from Denizli and the driver may send you a Turkish divine song. **4. Fethiye – The Pirate King’s Happy Hometown** - **Paragliding**: Dive the Mediterranean from 2000 meters, scream please control the volume (the instructor may be calmer than you). - **Dead Sea Beach**: Being able to float up without knowing how to swim, lying flat party gospel. - **Transportation**: It takes about 4 hours by bus from Pamukkale, and the scenery along the way heals people with motion sickness. --- ###**🍗 Foodie Radar: Turkey is not just about barbecue! ** - **Rotating Grill (Döner)**: Street tyrant, 5 lira can eat enough, sauces please add wildly. - **Baklava**: A sweet pastry dim sum served with bitter coffee to save lives. - **Grilled Fish Sandwich (Balık Ekmek)**: Freshly tossed and grilled at the Istanbul Pier, the fishy smell is the taste of the sea. - **Salted Yogurt (Ayran)**: Locals drink as water, tourists drink a sip pupil quake. --- ### **🚗 Transportation Tips** - **Intercity transportation**: Night bus (Metro company reliable), cheaper than airfare and can lie flat. - **Transportation in the city**: For bus cards, do not take a taxi (the driver may take you on a day trip around the city). - **Black Sea Warning**: Be careful when driving "Autumn Mountain" style mountain road, driving skills rookies please hold the old driver tightly. --- ### **🏨 Accommodation: Even poor travelers can sleep in style** - **Istanbul**: Old Town Youth Hostel (30 lire/night), and backpackers from all over the world compare who snores louder. - **Cappadocia**: Cave Hotel (choose the cheap one), experience primitive life (but WiFi). - **Fetterhiye**: tent camp by the sea, counting the stars while listening to the waves (not many mosquitoes, not really many). --- ### **💡 Friendly reminder** - **Bargaining**: Big Bazaar says to the half, the boss shakes his head and goes, he'll chase out and yell at you "friend". - **Cat Owner's Paradise**: The whole Turkish cat is a grandfather, rub the cat please Shang Gong small dried fish. - **Confusing behavior**: Turks like to chat, be patient when asking you “does xxx in China” (they probably thought the Chinese knew kung fu). --- **✨ Summary: Turkey = 1% Magic + 99% Happiness! ** budget? 500 lire a day can live as a rich man (as long as you don't buy carpets like crazy). Let's go, the thing is-- **“Turkey’s ice cream is even harder to catch than the boss’s routine!”**
