The shape of the fountain's pool is still clearly visible, and behind the pool was originally a two-story wall with shrines and statues. The pediment of the main building is engraved with statues of mythological figures such as Artemis and Aphrodite.

A few steps further, you will come to the Romans' favorite baths. The Romans attached great importance to the underground drainage system, which can be seen from this multifunctional bath. Going southwest from the baths is the stadium and theater. The theater is well preserved and can accommodate about 14,000 people. It is a Greek-Roman mixed building.

However, there is a Roman-style semicircular venue between the auditorium and the stage for the orchestra to perform. ) Asian faces are really popular. A group of beautiful girls surrounded Yunluo's friend and asked for a photo. It was so funny. These three naughty kids were imitating the sculptures in Roman mythology. After the visit, we drove straight to Antalya.

I hadn't booked accommodation in Antalya before, but I saw a hostel called Agathalodge&more on Booking the night before. It was very new and I liked the decoration style. I searched for rooms on the same day and they were only 36 Euros. Parking in Antalya is quite troublesome. There is a parking fee collection facility at the entrance. Tell them which hotel Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are staying in, and they will let you in for free. The roads are very narrow.

For the first time, the navigation system unreliably led Yunluo into a small alley where only humans could walk. Photographer Chen got off the car to look for the Agata Hostel, but was told that it was full. He could only go to several nearby hotels to inquire about prices. The courtyard of the villaperlahotel was also very beautiful, with a swimming pool, and the tables and chairs were tastefully arranged.

The public space upstairs and downstairs is very large, and it is very romantic to bask in the sun, read a book, listen to music, etc. in the afternoon. The room and bathroom are not big, but the decoration is very warm. I bargained down to 40 euros per room (including breakfast), and later I checked booking and found that the online quotation was 99 euros. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo Walkin are less than half the price.

It was a bargain. The most recommended thing is their restaurant. After checking in, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found a private seat by the swimming pool for lunch. It was the first time for Yunluo to eat such delicious pasta, which definitely overturned Yunluo's previous prejudice against pasta. The iron plate dishes also tasted very good.

There were violin and singing performances during dinner time. I don't know why the girl who played the violin was kept here. She played terribly and every song was out of tune. But the old man who sang later was very nice, and many famous songs were arranged in a very tasteful way. The breakfast was also good, served by the boss's mother herself.

Although this hotel does not have its own parking space, the owner will take you to find a free public parking space in the old city. Antalya is not a city that was founded long ago. In the 1st century BC, King Attalus II of Pergamon began to build the city here. In the following 2,000 years, Rome and Byzantium were established.

The Ottoman Empire and other empires successively occupied Antalya. Various cultures took turns to perform here, giving Antalya a unique charm. Tourists were bustling. There were also many teams shuttling through various alleys. The winding cobblestone roads shuttled between the remaining city walls, and every turn was full of surprises.

Arriving at a square by the Mediterranean Sea, tourists were sitting quietly on the embankment. The beautiful sails, yachts going back and forth, and the scattered white houses. Children concentrating on fishing formed a beautiful scenery in front of them. Yunluo was strolling along the coast with his friends, and the mother of a boy took the initiative to hand bread to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

I invited Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to taste it together. I couldn't refuse their kindness and took a small one. I quickly found an exquisite keychain from my bag and gave it to the boy to express my gratitude. It was a simple sharing. We felt kindness and warmth. The afternoon in Antalya was comfortable and quiet.

This is life. From Roman Harbour, we took a detour to the main road outside the old city, passing by Republic Square Cumhuriyetmeydani. It was Saturday that day, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the road. From a distance, we saw a stage where a road show was going on. When we got closer, we found that it was the 15th Antalya International Children's Art Festival.

On the stage, children's delegations from all over the world wore traditional costumes and performed songs and dances. The youngest was only 3 or 4 years old and very cute. Off the stage, there were people painting, selling colorful flags, and walking on stilts. It was like a lively gathering. Photographer Chen also joined in the fun and asked to have his face painted.

Originally, I drew this for children. Seeing that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are international friends, I made an exception and drew a cat. In the evening, I had a French meal at Agatha. It was a little expensive, but the atmosphere was so good that it was worth it. After breakfast, I strolled around leisurely.

The only attraction we visited was Hadrian's Gate (Roman Emperor Hadrian visited this place in 130 AD and left behind this triple arch built of white marble. The shape of the gate is similar to the Roman Arc de Triomphe. There are 4 Corinthian stone columns in front of the gate, which are very exquisite.

There used to be a statue of Hadrian above the city gate, but it no longer exists. There is a tall tower on each side of the city gate, which belongs to the Roman and Seljuk periods respectively. ) After checking out of the hotel, we rushed to our next destination: Kusadasi. Naranshiqi and Yunluo did not book a hotel along the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea before departure.

There are so many places to attract people. In fact, every coastal town has its own characteristics. Kusadasi was also locked through the Googlemap satellite cloud map the night before. I resolutely decided to give up Pamukkale and continue to start the seaside vacation mode (it is a beautiful port town, and it is also called "Bird Island" because of its small area like a bird.

Kusadasi is built along the coast, following the undulating terrain, overlooking the bay, with blue sea and silver waves in the bay, and the scenery is extremely spectacular. Kusadasi is most famous for its wonderful beaches and leisure seaside promenade, becoming the most attractive coastal resort in the Aegean region, Turkey and even Europe.

Every summer, this place attracts countless tourists from all over the world. When the car drove to the small town of Tavas, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stopped at the gas station to refuel and rest, and then went to a small restaurant across the road for lunch. The town is really small, with only a few stores.

The roast chicken hanging at the door of this small restaurant attracted Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's appetite, so they ordered a roast chicken, vegetable salad, bread, and a carbonated drink called Zafer (Victory). It was an absolutely cheap and good lunch. The waiter in the restaurant didn't speak English, so a guest helped translate for ordering and paying the bill.

This person seemed to be Danish and opened a veterinary hospital in this small town. Under his recommendation, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo decided to go to Aphrodisias, one of the most famous attractions nearby. (The ancient city of Aphrodisias is one of the better preserved ancient sites in Turkey.

The archaeological work of the city was guided by Turkish archaeologists, and many ancient monuments have been preserved. The history of this ancient city can be traced back to the Bronze Age in 3000 BC. It reached its peak in the Roman era. From the gate of the Temple of Aphrodite, the theater, and the market.

This can be seen in the style of the stadium and other buildings. Because the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, guarded the city, the city was named after her. From today's perspective, the craftsmanship level and marble building material quality of the ancient city of Aphrodisias are higher than those of other cities of the same period.

The aesthetic concept is also different from that of the ancient city of the same period, which seems to be related to the patron saint of the city.) According to lonelypla, "You can take a trailer or tram from the main road 500 meters down the mountain to the entrance of the scenic spot. If you drive here yourself, you have to pay an extra TL5 for parking."

When the car was about to turn up the mountain according to the sign on the road, it was discovered that the road up the mountain had been blocked by railings. Only a unified vehicle similar to an electric car could enter. Passersby were told to park their cars in the parking lot across the main road and take a unified vehicle to get to the entrance.

At this time, Yunluo's Garmin navigation showed that the Aphrodisias scenic spot was somewhere 2km along the main road and turned left. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo decided to explore the road according to the navigation instructions, hoping that there might be an entrance there. The navigation led Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo into a very small village.

Until it was blocked by an iron fence, and next to it was a farmland. According to Director Chen's observation, the iron fence had obvious signs of being climbed over. There was also a large hole at the other end that was big enough for a person to pass through. Everyone speculated that this might be Aphrodisias, where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were going. It was the old entrance.

After Director Chen went in to take a look, he took Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo and successfully evaded the ticket. From the map, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo entered the scenic area between the stadium and the Temple of Aphrodite, and the current entrance is in the museum. This is the most complete and shocking stadium monument Yunluo has ever seen.

The stadium was built in the 2nd century and is 224 meters long and 72 meters wide. The outline is still very clear and the seats are still intact. It shows the superb architectural level of the ancient Romans. At that time, the Romans used this venue as both an arena and a hippodrome, which could accommodate 30,000 people. Walk to the gate archway tetrapylon.

We met a group of students who were doing extracurricular activities with their teachers. They were like star chasers and enthusiastically took photos with Yunluo's friends. We stayed in Aphrodisias for 2 hours, which was really great. It was already evening when we arrived in Kusadasi, and there were a lot of cars when we entered the coastal section of the city.

Park on the roadside near the yacht pier. There is someone managing the parking lot and the fee is 2 liras per hour. When we walked to the beach, we caught up with the beautiful sunset. There was a lighthouse, fishing, clouds, and seagulls. The scene was so beautiful that we couldn't bear to leave. After the sun went down, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo hurried to find a hotel.

Hotels with sea views are ridiculously expensive. We drove halfway up the mountain and saw a hotel called Panorama. An old man took Yunluo to see the house. The lights in the corridor were a little dim. The huge 5-story house was empty without a single person. Overall, it was quite clean. The asking price was 10 Euros for a single room and 20 Euros for a triple room.

All of them have private bathrooms, hot water, and balconies with sea views. I was too embarrassed to bargain. I was too lazy to look for other options because it was cheap, so I just chose this one. The Grand Bazaar is just down the ramp, and it is very close to the cruise ship dock. The location is good. The panorama is not in vain. It is really great to enjoy the entire Aegean Harbor from the restaurant on the fifth floor.

For dinner, I went to the seaside and found a restaurant with a long history. When I came to a port city, I always wanted to eat some seafood, but there was basically no live seafood here, very few shrimps and crabs, and they were basically mainly sea fish. The Turkish way of cooking seafood is also very simple. It was a waste of natural resources. According to lonelypla's introduction.

Nalanshiqi and Yunluo decided to drive to Dilek Peninsula National Park (Dilekmilliparki), 26 kilometers south of Kusadasi. The navigation did not choose the fast D515 road, but drove along the seaside town. The Aegean Sea under the sunshine is infinitely charming, and the colors are simply fascinating.

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

We parked our car and took photos at a hillside with a wide view of the Aegean Bay. Next to it was a private house. There was a semi-open restaurant, and the flowers in the garden were full of the breath of life. The blue sea, the yellow rapeseed field, and the red house, there is no more gorgeous color combination than this.

Dilekmilliparki National Park, car admission, 12 liras/car (including entrance fee). The park has an elegant environment, few tourists, and one beach after another, with rocky beaches instead of sandy beaches. It is very close to Samos Island in Greece. From the map, it is almost adjacent to it, and the scenery is first-class.

When Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo entered the bushes, they saw a group of wild boars. They were not big. At noon, they found a quiet beach for a picnic. A local couple at the table next to them also drove to the picnic. The car stereo played beautiful and romantic music. In order to sit comfortably, they took out the prepared cushions from the trunk.

This is the rhythm of enjoying life. Just as Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were quietly enjoying the sea breeze at the beach, a big wild boar swaggered in from the bushes in the distance. Common sense told Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo that wild boars are somewhat aggressive, so Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took pictures of it curiously.

While keeping a distance and ready to escape at any time. The wild boar just came out to take a leisurely walk and find something to eat. It didn't even look at Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, and didn't pay any attention to them. It left so arrogantly. In the afternoon, when the sun was scorching, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo planned to find a teahouse to rest.

We unanimously decided to go to the house we passed by in the morning. With Director Chen's accurate memory, we found it very easily. There was no tourist at all in this place. I really don't know how they can do business with this store. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo ordered coffee and black tea and wrote postcards facing the Aegean Sea. It was really pleasant.

In the evening, Director Chen took Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to the northernmost Hotel Kismet for dinner. This is a four-star hotel with accommodation and catering. The hotel is in an excellent location and can see the entire yacht harbor. The night view here is really beautiful. Kusadasi-Izmir-Fucada Kadi Fikale Castle-Konak

After reluctantly leaving Kusadasi, Foca continued along the coastline towards Izmir. Many people choose Izmir because it is the third largest city and second largest port in Turkey. It is Turkey’s main industrial and commercial center and can be said to be the most modern city in Turkey. At the same time, the prices there are also very high.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did not choose to stay in Izmir, but just stayed there for a while based on the principle of not missing it if passing by. They arrived at Kadifekale Castle at around 10 am. Parking was free. They were used to climbing to a commanding height to overlook the entire city every time they arrived in a city.

Such a country with blue sky, white clouds and clear air is definitely a pleasure. When you first see Izmir, you will be shocked by the densely packed houses. After driving down the mountain, you will find the most famous Konak Square in the center of Izmir. It is not easy to find a parking space nearby. The open-air parking lot costs 8 liras.

With bread and fruit bought from the vendors at the entrance of Kadifikale Castle, I found a shady place in Konark Square to eat. The buildings around the square should be government agencies, and there are also many business buildings around. It happened to be noon, and many white-collar workers in formal suits came out of the buildings to look for food.

Many children were playing and chasing pigeons in the square, and people were coming and going, making it very lively. Walking north from Konak Square along the harbor, you will reach the wide seaside boulevard, which is the most leisurely and romantic place in Izmir. The boulevard is dotted with palm trees, and ferries are shuttling tourists across the Aegean Sea.

This is also the best place to watch the sunset over the Aegean Sea. Unfortunately, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo couldn't wait until nightfall, so they had to set off to find a more ideal harbor town in their minds. In the afternoon, on the way to Foca, the navigation once again led Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo away from the main road.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo chose to follow the navigation without hesitation, expecting that it would give Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo another surprise. Sure enough, in a quiet town whose name Yunluo couldn't even remember, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found a primary school with some kind of activity being held on the playground.

The school gate was open, and there was no guard at the gate. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo trembled as they entered the audience with their cameras. Because Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo looked so special, they immediately attracted the children's strong curiosity. When Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo raised their cameras and pointed them at them, the children were so excited. (To be continued...)
