The sun came out and of course I had to go out for a walk. I walked to the top of the mountain. The scenery on the mountain was also good, and I felt closer to the sky. It was almost evening, and the sun was gradually setting. Suddenly, it felt easier to go up the mountain, and it was very slippery to go down the mountain. The topography of Goreme Town. I feel that the small cars here have a retro feel.

I bought a night bus to Pamukkale at 20:00, so I went to eat after checking out and waited until the bus was almost ready. I could store my luggage at the station for free. I bought a ticket for Suha, but the bus that came was Pamukkale. I don't know if these two companies have a cooperative relationship. The bus was delayed for half an hour and arrived at Pamukkale at about 6 am.

It was the first time I took such a long bus ride. I felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep well. Moreover, the bus had to stop at more than a dozen stations in the middle of the night and wash the bus every time it stopped. They really love cleanliness. Although free food and water were provided on the bus, I had no appetite in the middle of the night. Although there was wifi, the signal was not very good and the in-car TV could not be watched.

The bus does not stop directly at Pamukkale, but transfers to a small car after arriving in Denizli, which their staff will arrange. Why choose such a long bus? Because there is no direct flight from Goreme to Pamukkale, you have to transfer in Istanbul, and the airport near Pamukkale is more than 60 kilometers away from Pamukkale. It is more convenient to take a bus than tossing around like this.

We arrived at Pamukkale Station at around 6am. We could store our luggage there and buy tickets for the next stop. The owner was very friendly and humorous. He would chat with us about gossip and say "hello" in many different languages. Pamukkale doesn't open until 9am.

So during this time, I can find a toilet to wash my face and brush my teeth, and then find a restaurant to eat. There is a restaurant next to the station that tastes good. The owner is Korean, and there are many Koreans here. Since I didn't sleep all night, I didn't want to take the bus to play by myself, so I found the owner at the station and booked a one-day tour.

60tl includes lunch, three or four attractions and all tickets, and a guide's explanation, starting at 9 am and ending at 4 pm. This is quite generous. Yunluo passed by a travel agency when he went to the toilet. The man actually knew Chinese, and then chatted for a few words. He asked Yunluo if he wanted to join a one-day tour. Yunluo asked about the price and he said 70tl per person. Yunluo refused at that time.

The main purpose of coming here is the Pamukkale scenic area. The adult ticket for Pamukkale is 25tl, ​​and the ruins of Hierapolis are also included. Opening hours: 9:00-19:00. The first thing you see after walking a distance from the gate is the ruins of Hierapolis. There is a feeling of arrival.

It takes about ten minutes to walk in from the gate. If you think it's far, there are shuttle buses in the scenic area, 2tl per person. The weather is very good, the clouds are very low, and it turns out that you can also play paragliding here. The ruins of Hierapolis and Pamukkale are in two directions. If you come down to play, you have to take off your shoes. It is recommended to wear a pair of socks, otherwise your feet will hurt.

Pamukkale is also quite big. It will take more than an hour to visit it. However, some places are not allowed. You need to pay attention to safety. No matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop girls from taking pictures. You can soak your feet when it's cold. The water temperature is very comfortable. The weather is only about 4 or 5 degrees. Some Europeans and Americans soak in bikinis directly, which is a bit exciting.

The white walls look like big pieces of cotton, and with the big clouds, it looks magical. If you have enough time, it would be nice to watch the sunset here, but I didn't sleep all night. I decided to go back to the hotel to rest after filming. Snow-capped mountains can be seen in the distance, which is very beautiful. There is also a hot spring between the ruins of Hierapolis and Pamukkale.

There is a cafe, restaurant and shop inside. The adult ticket for the hot spring is 32tl, the ticket for children aged 6-12 is 13tl, and the storage fee is 5tl. The hot spring pool is quite large and the water is relatively clear. Under the water are the ancient ruins, and you can see many Roman columns in it. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the hot spring pool to the ruins of Hierapolis.

There are also some shops next to the ruins of Hierapolis, and you don't need to buy tickets separately here. Spectacular buildings, many people sit on the edge to enjoy the scenery in the distance. If you are physically fit, you can also come down to play. The feeling of looking up from below is different. The recommended time to play in Pamukkale is 3-4 hours. If you want to soak in hot springs, you can stay longer.

Since the hotel Yunluo and Nalanshiqi booked was in Denizli, which was about 20 kilometers away from Pamukkale, Yunluo and Nalanshiqi went to the station to retrieve their luggage and took a bus to Denizli. There is a shuttle bus from Pamukkale town to Denizli Station every 5 minutes, and the fare is 3.5tl per person. If you want to take a taxi, it will cost about 50tl.

After arriving at Denizli Station last night, I immediately bought a ticket to Bodrum the next morning, also from Pamukkale. The ticket price was 40tl and the journey took about 5 hours. Since there were fewer people going there in the off-season, all the buses going there were minibuses, and they even merged into one bus because there were fewer people along the way.

Although it is a small bus, there are still services, free food and drinks, and free wifi. Domestic buses should learn this, haha. Since Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi live opposite the station, it is very convenient. After breakfast, they took the 7:00 bus. Since it snowed again last night, they sat in the bus and watched the snow scenery all the way.

The car stopped at many stations along the way, and each station had a toilet. In Turkey, toilets are charged, 1-1.5tl. It should be noted that the car will drive around on some mountain roads. If you are prone to motion sickness, it is recommended to bring motion sickness medicine. After a 5-hour drive, we finally arrived at Bodrum Station. Since the hotel we booked was next to the pier, it took about 20tl by taxi.

It was already noon when we arrived. After checking in, we found a random restaurant to eat. After eating, we just strolled around the pier. After strolling, we realized that this was not a good time to come, because in winter, the wind at the seaside was particularly strong, blowing my face. Because it was off-season, all the ships were parked at the pier, and there were no entertainment activities outside the port. Of course, if you want to charter a boat to go out to sea, you have money to be willful.

The boss will satisfy you. There are some seafood for sale next to the pier, which may be the local vegetable market. There is also a castle attraction to visit, and the ticket price is 25tl. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi didn't have much interest and didn't go in to see it. After visiting the pier, we went to the town to walk around. There were white houses everywhere. It just lacked a bit of blue.

There are white houses in the distance. Bodrum is not very big. You can walk around the town center for 20 to 30 minutes. Some handicraft shops on the street are very romantic. You can walk around freely and find different surprises. Istiklal Street I only stayed in Bodrum for half a day. I took a flight back to Istanbul the next morning. I will return in the evening.

Bodrum Airport is called Milas Airport, about 35 kilometers away from Bodrum. Since there is no shuttle bus to the airport, I asked the hotel to send me to the airport, which cost 100tl. Since I bought Pegasus Airlines, I didn't know the flight was cancelled until I arrived at the airport, and there was no email notification of the cancellation. It was too much. There were 5 flights a day, and 3 flights were cancelled.

Maybe it was because there were too few passengers in the off-season. Only the earliest and latest flights were left. Since Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi booked a flight at 16:40 in the afternoon, they could only change to a flight at 23:00 in the evening. They waited for more than 7 hours in vain at the airport. It was the first time I encountered such a miserable situation. I originally wanted to change to another airline.

But the situation was the same as Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, all flights were available after 22:00 at night. This lesson taught Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to ask the hotel to help you check the flight status information of the airport before departure. There were also many pigeons to feed in the square. Because it started to rain after snowing, the ground was very wet.

I had thought that I could have a big meal when I arrived in Istanbul early. But I stayed at the airport and ate bread, because Pegasus Airlines only stops at Asian airports. It was almost 1 a.m. when I finally arrived at the hotel in Istanbul, so I decided to go to bed early. There is a bus from the Asian airport that can go directly to Taksim Square, which costs 12tl, because this road is very congested during the day.

It takes about 1.5 hours. It was very fast at midnight, and it only took 50 minutes to get there. Because the hotel where Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi stayed was not far from Taksim Square, so they took a taxi to the hotel after arriving at Taksim Square. The next day, they woke up and went to Taksim Square and Independence Street for a stroll. Taksim Square is the beginning of Independence Street.

There is a statue in the middle, and the tram ends here. I found that people here don't like to hold umbrellas when it rains, and most people walk in the rain. Turkey uses the lira, and the RMB cannot be directly exchanged there, so you need to exchange US dollars or euros in China and bring them there to exchange. Euros and US dollars can also be used directly in Turkey, but they are not omnipotent.

Only some hotels have hot air balloons available. If you want to take your card to withdraw money locally, you need to find a bank with a green leaf logo to withdraw money. Only this type of bank supports UnionPay. Airport---Istanbul has two airports, one is the European airport called Ataturk, which is closer to the city, about half an hour's drive away.

Most international flights stop at this airport, and it is also the main base of Turkish Airlines. Another airport is located in Asia, called Sabiah, which is far from the city, about an hour's drive away. Many low-cost airlines stop at this airport, such as Pegasus Airlines, and some Turkish flights also stop at this airport. There is no direct bus between the two airports.

You need to take the airport bus to transfer at Taksim Square. The bus fare from the European Airport to Taksim Square is 10tl. You can also take the subway, but you need to transfer. The bus fare from the Asian Airport to Taksim Square is 12tl. Currently, there is no subway at the Asian Airport. Bus---There are many bus companies in Turkey.

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

The buses with better reputation are Pamukkala, Metro and Suha. There are ordinary and luxury buses. Ordinary buses have 4 seats in a row, and luxury buses have 3 seats in a row. The ticket price is determined by the type of bus and distance. There is free wifi on the bus, but the signal is not very good. In addition, there is a TV on each seat.

But Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi can't see it from their seats. In addition, free food and water will be distributed. Why take a bus when there is a plane? For example, there is no direct flight from Pamukkale to Goreme, and you need to transfer in Istanbul. It takes a lot of time to transfer back and forth. It is more convenient to buy a bus ticket and take it there.

Taxi---Taxis in Istanbul are mainly yellow and run on gas, so the trunk space is relatively small. Two 24-inch suitcases are already full. I have read many guide posts saying that drivers like to take detours. Maybe Yunluo was lucky and didn't encounter such a situation. A taxi from the European Airport costs about 50 TL, and from Taksim Square about 70 TL.

Subway - Istanbul's subway is relatively developed. At the European Airport, there is the M1 subway line that goes directly to Aksaray Station. If you want to go to the Blue Mosque, you need to transfer to the T1 line. Please note that you have to walk a distance when transferring from Aksaray Station to T1. Although they are marked together on the subway map, it takes four or five minutes to walk. The tickets cannot be used together and you need to exit the station and buy separate tickets.

If you don't buy a bus card, the fare is 4tl regardless of the mileage. If you buy a bus card and recharge it, you can get a lot of discounts. Istanbul Metro is not like Yunluo and Nalanshiqi. You need to swipe the card to enter and exit. They only need to swipe the card to enter and exit. There is a coin-operated machine next to each subway station.

The design is relatively small. The machine supports 5, 10, 20tl banknotes, and of course coins. The machine accepts 4tl. You can buy it by pressing a button. The method is similar to the automatic machines that sell beverages in Yunluo and Nalanshiqi. The subway map is attached below. Accommodation: Istanbul Marriott Hotel Sisli Hotel.

The location is not far from the Sisli Station of the M2 subway line, which is a three or four minute walk away. It takes about 70tl to take a taxi from the European Airport. If you want to be rich, you can take a helicopter directly to the top floor of the hotel. The hotel provides this service. Advantages: the rooms are relatively high, you can see a good city view, and they are close to the subway station.

It's only 2 stops to Taksim Square, and there's a huge shopping mall nearby, right outside Sisli subway station, so it's very convenient for eating and shopping. Disadvantages: expensive, and WiFi is charged. Goreme---Doorscappadocia Hotel is relatively new, located at a higher point in town, so the view is good. (To be continued...)
