The feeling of my feet is indeed quite good. It feels like a super strong foot massage, and the hot spring water trickling down to my feet makes me feel very beautiful, haha. Friendly reminder: Because Pamukkale is a white calcification layer, the reflection is strong, and the sun is very dazzling and hot, so you must wear sunglasses and sunscreen.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were tanned like little black pigs because of this mistake. When you come to Pamukkale, you can't help but take photos. There are many foreigners in bikinis taking a hot spring bath. I really like this place. Above Pamukkale is the ancient swimming pool where the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis were swam.

Many people were swimming in it, but the swimming pool was open-air, and because there was no sun protection, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did not dare to go in the water. There was a place to get water next to the swimming pool, and it was said that it was the water of eternal youth.

Yunluo wants to stay young forever, haha! It was almost afternoon, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo could only reluctantly leave Pamukkale, and also took the mini bus back to Denizili Otogar, and then had lunch next to the bus station. This time, they randomly found a local shop for lunch. I feel that the local shops are still delicious and affordable.

After dinner, I bought some fruit to eat on the afternoon bus ride. This place is so cheap. Large cherries are only 2.5 liras per kilogram. After buying the fruit, I washed them at the hotel and took my luggage to the next stop. I asked the staff at the station and found out that there were no direct buses to Selcuk, but I could take a bus to Aydin first.

Then I took a mini bus to Selcuk in Aydin, and it was just in time. The staff at the station were quite enthusiastic, and this store was great. I want to popularize: 1. Turkish buses: Turkish buses are divided into different companies, just like the tickets of different airlines in China.

At the bus station, people from different bus companies will stop you and ask where you are going. The bus schedules of each company are also different. Long-distance buses are mainly from Pamukkale and other companies, and airport buses are mainly from Havas. The mini buses in the city are more flexible, and mini buses stop when you wave.

2: Toilets in Turkey. Public toilets in Turkey are basically charged 1 lira. For example, those at bus stations and tourist attractions are charged, and they are coin-operated machines, so it is recommended to keep some coins in your wallet in advance. However, toilets like airports are free, and I feel like I have earned a lot every time I go to the free toilet.

Otherwise, 1 lira, nearly 3 yuan, is expensive enough. The ticket to Aydin was bought at Isparta Bus Company. The environment of the Turkish bus is not bad. The bus is very clean and there is a touch screen behind each seat. But they are all Turkish movies or TV series. Some can be charged by USB.

A very important point when taking a bus is to confirm the destination and the place where you get off. It is very convenient that the place names there are basically transliterated, that is, you just need to ask the attendant at each stop according to the pronunciation of the Chinese characters. In addition, you can also check the road signs on the side of the road yourself, which will show how many kilometers it is to Aydin, etc., to avoid getting off at the wrong stop.

After arriving at Aydin Otogar, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo went to look for a mini bus to Selcuk, but a staff member saw a mini bus coming and said "get on", and then talked to the driver in Turkish for a while. Then the driver drove away, leaving only Nalanshiqi and Yunluo in the car.

A little weak, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo asked again and again if they were going to Selcuk, and the driver said ok, and then the sousou driver drove to the underground parking lot, and ended up helping to take Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to the parking lot where they were waiting for the Selcuk bus. Fortunately, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo waited for less than half an hour.

The minibus to Selcuk arrived, and it seemed to be the last one, luckily we caught it. After arriving in Selcuk, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo asked about the hotel they had seen online before. It was said to be near the station, and the waiter of Pamukkale Bus Company was so kind to help Nalanshiqi and Yunluo call the hotel.

Then after waiting for about 10 minutes, the hotel waiter came to receive Lan Shiqi and Yunluo. During these 10 minutes, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo just asked about the bus time for the place they were going to the next day. The hotel waiter was super nice and helped Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo carry their luggage all the way through the station. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo felt like they were in another village.

The town center has a super feel, with various small shops playing small music, and ancient monuments and museums in the distance, which makes me excited again. Selcuk, the county seat of Selcuk County in Izmir Province, Turkey, is also well-developed in tourism because of the ancient city of Ephesus nearby. The hotel is a family hotel located in the center of the town.

There is no elevator this time, but the waiter will help you carry your luggage up, so don't worry. The picture below is the scenery seen from the hotel window. After checking in, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went out to look for food, and they happened to meet a small band concert in the town. The rhythm of the small music was great.

Usually, I eat out and listen to music, which is very enjoyable. There is another super funny thing. Yunluo really made a fool of himself. Because his bangs were too long, he wanted to go to the supermarket to buy a pair of scissors to cut them himself, but the supermarket was closed. There happened to be a barber shop next to it, so he thought he might as well go and try it.

As a result, the clerk said that this place is only "for men". OK, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were about to leave, and he asked Yunluo if he only wanted to cut his bangs. OK, then let him cut it. Unexpectedly, this Turkish barber was really weird. First, he kept spraying water on his head, then he cut left, right, up and down.

The more Yunluo looked at it, the more haggard it looked. Then its hair became shorter and shorter, and totally uneven. It was tragic. Yunluo quickly asked him to stop, but he kept asking "no problem?". Just like that, Yunluo spent 10 liras to cut his hair into the shape shown below, which made the subsequent travel photos even uglier. Pictures speak the truth.

Nalanshiqi and Yunluo were fascinated by the fairyland-like Pamukkale; they came to Selcuk, where they were constantly surprised and frightened. The mysterious kingdom of stars and moons is full of unknowns and joy. Ephesus, which echoed the glory of the past, and the romantic Aegean Sea Ephesus-Alacati-Ilica beach got up early and had breakfast on the beautiful terrace.

I feel that breakfast is the best meal every day. Then pack your luggage and check out, then store your luggage. The guy at the front desk will help you move your luggage downstairs very quickly. Then Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went to the station in Selcuk, and someone would shout "ephesus, ephesus", and then buy a ticket to get on such a minibus, 3 liras.

Soon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at the entrance of the ancient city of Ephesus, which has two gates, up and down. The minibus arrived at the down gate, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo got off. Here is a friendly reminder: the minibus is only available at the down gate, so if you go out from the up gate after visiting the ancient city from the down gate, you can only take a taxi back.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo tragically took this route, and later took a taxi for 20 liras, for such a short distance. Ephesus is often called the Pompeii of Turkey by Westerners, but it is unfair to describe Ephesus as the Pompeii of Turkey. Ephesus is the best-preserved classical city on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.

It was also an important center of early Christianity. In terms of city size, history, economy, religious influence and many other aspects, Pompeii is hard to match. The entire ancient city is indeed very spectacular, and the prosperity of the past is faintly emerging. Several famous attractions inside are very shocking and interesting. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo ran to the nearby tour group to get an English tour guide.

It feels a lot like high school English listening, haha. The theater is magnificent and imposing. Like all ancient theaters, it is open-air and used for drama performances. In the late Roman era, gladiator performances were still held in theaters. There is a round hole and footprints on the road leading to the ancient brothel. Legend has it that you had to have enough money and your feet were larger than the footprints to enter.

This means that they were wealthy adults. It seems that people's feet were quite big at that time. The goddess of victory, the origin of Nike's logo, is a check mark shape, which also represents the victorious sports spirit. The library is a very famous tourist attraction. Only this gate sign remains. There were originally 8 goddess statues on it, but now only the bottom 4 are left.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It is said to represent "kindness", "wisdom", etc. Friendly reminder: Because the ancient city is full of stone buildings, it is very dazzling and hot, so sunglasses and sunscreen are really necessary. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, who have turned into little black pigs, really want to cry in the toilet... Back in Selcuk, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had lunch.

Then we were going to Alacati. I was wondering whether to go to Alacati or Bodrum to see the Aegean Sea. Later, I asked the hotel receptionist and he said that Alacati was a romantic blue and white town, and my impression of Bodrum was that it was a "busy" harbor. It just so happened that Nalanshiqi and Yunluo's route to Alacati was also convenient.

So Nalanshiqi and Yunluo took a bus to Alacati. This time it was the bus of Pamukkale Bus Company. The ticket seemed a little more expensive than other companies, but there were free snacks on the bus. The picture below is the bus schedule of the company posted at the bus station. Nalanshiqi and Yunluo took the 14:15 bus to Alacati and Cesme.

Arriving at Alacati, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo asked along the way and found the Greek stone house family hotel they booked. It was really so pink. Alacati, a very European-style blue and white town, has a super feel. When you come to Alacati, only when night falls can you really reveal her charming place. (To be continued...)
