Although this scenery is not as good as the morning in the golden pine forest of Serbia a few years ago, it still makes people like Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, who have lived in the city for a long time, feel open and transparent, and they can't help but like and be satisfied. The morning sun is reflected on the calcified pool of Pamukkale, and there is also the minaret that cannot be avoided. So early, someone is already eager to get close to her.

Morning in a small mountain village. Yunluo told Natasha that this kind of white wall and red roof is also a traditional residence, and I guess the Saffron is no more than that. "Then shall we still go?" Her response was quite quick. In fact, Saffron was the route that Yunluo insisted on. That is, when he arrived in Turkey, he naturally could not miss the living fossil of the Ottoman Empire.

Yunluo chose Saffron for this reason and gave up Cappadocia, which is the most like the moon on earth. I hope Saffron will not disappoint Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. In fact, as long as the weather is good, any kind of building looks comfortable. After a quick checkout, the boss drove his private car to take Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to the bus terminal of Pamukkale Company.

Whether it was sending Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to the scenic spot yesterday or sending Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to the bus station today, it was all free. This made Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi feel like they owed the boss something, so they told the boss that they would give a good review on booking and recommend it to colleagues who would travel to Turkey in the future.

The Pamukkale bus terminal is very small, with only one large room where the ticket office and waiting area are located. The waiter carefully put luggage tags on the luggage and placed them in the luggage compartment one by one. Then everyone got on the bus, sat down according to the seat number on the machine-printed ticket, and drove off.

During the three-hour journey from Pamukkale to Selcuk, the waiter brought us water and snacks. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi planned to go to Selcuk first, check in at the hotel, and then find out the route to the Aegean Sea in Kusadasi to wait for the sunset. Here is a timetable in front of the Pamukkale bus station, which may be helpful for those who go there in the future.

In the past two years, Pamukkale has become a tourist hotspot. Not only minibuses go to other places, but also large companies such as Pamukkale and Metro have set up points in the area, and buses go all the way to the small village. It was this timetable that made Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi discover that this bus can go directly to Kusadasi.

So, the capable and active Natasha left Yunluo to take a nap on the seat and ran to the front to ask the driver and the waiter for the route. When she came back, Natasha confidently told Yunluo the new itinerary. When she arrived in Selcuk, she didn't need to go to the hotel first, but to store the luggage in the business hall of Pamukkale Company at the bus terminal, and then take a minibus directly to Kusadasi.

It is a very time-saving trip. The minibus is actually a Mercedes. First encounter with the Aegean Sea. After leaving Selcuk, we picked up tourists on the roadside. The roads in Turkey are really well built, flat and wide.

In addition, it is not far from the sea, and there are more green trees on both sides of the road, making the scenery more beautiful. After passing a villa area, we began to enter the winding mountain road, and the Aegean Sea suddenly appeared at a bend without any warning. The deep blue is infinitely charming. I don't want to delete this photo no matter what, even though it is crooked.

Although the framing and proportions are not ideal, it records the first sight of the Aegean Sea with falling clouds. Seeing it will remind you of the excitement when you first met the Aegean Sea. Entering the small town, the Aegean Sea disappears among the green trees and buildings. The minibus stops at a street corner in the city. Ask for the time of the last bus back to Selcuk.

Yunluo and Nalanshiqi walked all the way to the seaside. Tip: Here you should ask how to get to the seaside, not the beach, because there are few beaches here. As a famous resort, Kusadasi is larger than Pamukkale, where Yunluo and Nalanshiqi arrived yesterday, and more modern than Selcuk, where Yunluo and Nalanshiqi just passed.

The people are also different from those in inland areas such as Pamukkale and Selcuk. They are relaxed, active and happy. I saw such a sign on the pedestrian street. It was so big. What kind of giant must it be? All pedestrian streets are the same. There are shops and restaurants on both sides of the road. There is such a retro building in the middle of the pedestrian street. I don’t know what it is for.

There are many family hotels on both sides of the road, and the ground floor is an open-air cafe with many tourists. Imagine how lively it would be in the hot July and August. Turkish carpets, and a Chinese restaurant next to it. Haha, Chinese people are everywhere. The colorful steps deep in the street attracted Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi.

Yunluo is a person who has a lot of yearning for stairs, especially such winding and colorful ones, so she ran up and down and took many photos. A few days later, she saw more colorful stairs in Istanbul. Yunluo was glad that she walked from small to large, from colorful to gorgeous, and gradually got better. Yunluo was happy every time she saw them. The pedestrian street ended at the beach.

The Aegean Sea outside Greece. There are many different opinions about the origin of the name of the Aegean Sea. One says it comes from the ancient city of Aegea; another says it comes from the Amazon queen named Aegea who was buried in the sea; and another says it comes from an ancient king named Aegeus who jumped into the sea after mistakenly believing that his son had died in battle. In short, none of them are beautiful enough.

Due to a highly-rated TV show in China and a previous TV series, the Aegean Sea is seen as a symbol of romance and love by Chinese people, and Santorini is the first choice for honeymoons in China. When talking about the Aegean Sea, it is always associated with Greece. In this body of water, most of the islands belong to Greece on the west coast, and a few belong to Turkey on the east coast.

There are many holiday resorts along the coast of Turkey, attracting tourists from all over the world, and Kusadasi is one of them. Whether tourists or locals, they all look relaxed and happy, as if they are living a very comfortable life. When they meet these beauties on the road, they take pictures of each other, take pictures together, and then leave emails.

They said hello to Yunluo and Nalan Seqi in Korean when they said goodbye. Is it that Yunluo and Nalan Seqi look like Koreans, or is the influence of Korea increasing, or more precisely, the influence of Korean dramas increasing. There is a long and narrow seaside avenue along the sea, with the sea on one side and shops on the other side, as well as squares, coffee shops, snack bars, etc., which is suitable for walking.

On this late autumn day, the weather is fine, the sun is shining, the sea breeze is blowing, and the temperature is cool. It is very pleasant to walk. This sculpture must be the landmark of the city. The uncles are gathering in the Aegean Sea, the sun is shining, and they are drinking wine. Natasha was invited to take a group photo and was invited to attend the party. The sea can be seen at every intersection.

For people like Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi who have lived in the inland for a long time, it is such a luxury. The melon whose name is unknown is more juicy than Hami melon. Not so sweet. Later, it became the main fruit of Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's journey. Here, we also saw a boy wearing Turkish national costumes, sitting in a car decorated with flowers.

Walking along this avenue by the sea with the sound of music. It was already past 5pm when we arrived at the pier. There was a large and beautiful shopping mall by the sea, with people coming and going, very lively and high-end, and a cruise ship docked at the shore. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi also wanted to join in the fun, but they didn't expect that there was someone guarding the door.

You have to show your card to enter. I really don't know what kind of card I have to show. I guess it might be a membership-based business center, so I just continue to stroll along the beach. After turning around the beautiful shopping center, I saw this small island. I took out the guide and found out that it was the Kusadasi Ancient Castle.

After checking the time and the position of the sun, we decided to visit the castle and wait for the sunset. The island is connected to the mainland by a dike. The castle occupies the limited space on the island to the maximum extent. There is only some space in front of the main gate corresponding to the dike, and the rest is inside the wall. When Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi arrived, the gate of the castle was closed. I don't know if it was because it was late or for other reasons.

I didn't understand Turkish or Turkish. I couldn't figure out the situation. When the sun set, I met a tourist from Russia. Natasha, who was invincible in Russian, finally came in handy. I had a pleasant chat with the tourist and got to know him clearly. The Russian came on a cruise ship, departing from St. Petersburg and traveling around the Mediterranean.

We visited the shore during the day and travelled by boat at night. We have already been to Istanbul and will go to Antalya tomorrow. If it weren't for the tourist who wanted to board the boat, this harmonious chat would have ended. Yunluo, who knew nothing about Russian, went to play with the local children while Natasha was chatting with the Russian.

Sometimes I went to see if the fishermen had caught anything, and sometimes I just sat on the rocks and stared blankly. But soon my freedom was broken, and the locals came to ask for a photo. The Turks are really interesting. This was the second day after entering Turkey, and I don't know how many times I have been photographed.

The Aegean Sea is really romantic. There are so many newlyweds who come here to take wedding photos. It is really beautiful. There are also couples who go fishing. It is not too many. Then there is the beautiful sunset. The town is very lively at dusk, especially the seaside. After watching the sunset, I walked back to the fish market by the pier. I bought seafood and then processed it in the small restaurant next to it.

This seafood dinner cost more than 70 liras. I also want to say that the Turkish people are very considerate. It was the end of October and it would be very cold after the sun went down. When Yun Luo subconsciously hugged his arms, the waiter quickly brought a blanket and thoughtfully told the nearby windows to close. After dinner, the wind started to blow, so we didn't stay in the town for long.

It was almost 10 o'clock when they got back to Selcuk by minibus. When they remembered that there were only 2 rooms left in urkmezhotel when they made reservation yesterday, Yunluo and Nalanshiqi were worried that the hotel would not reserve a room for them because of their late check-in. After picking up the luggage at the bus station, the staff at the station called the owner of urkmezhotel.

The boss's two sons soon came to the station to pick up Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. It took less than 10 minutes to walk to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's second stop in Turkey. After checking in, the boss also gave them 2 cups of Turkish tea, which were quite cute little cups. I saw them in the supermarket later and was tempted to bring a set back.

Take a minibus from Selcuk to Ephesus and visit the ruins of Ephesus; get off at the Temple of Artemis when returning to Selcuk to see the ruins of the temple; then walk to see the ruins of the Isabey Mosque and the Church of St. John. Ephesus is the largest existing ancient Roman site and is recommended by five stars.

The Temple of Artemis is recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is famous and I feel a lot. The other two places are not very interesting. Cost: 5 liras/person for round trip from Selcuk to Ephesus, 30 liras/person for Ephesus tickets, 20 liras/person for the ruins of St. John's Church. It was another sunny morning. The breakfast at urkmezhotel was quite rich.

The boss's son was very enthusiastic and talkative, expressing his interest and love for China. Natasha, in a good mood, combed her hair with interest, which won the boss's son's praise. There are still many historical sites in the town of Selcuk. They are also well protected and look very neat.

On the way from the hotel to the bus station, I took a few photos and will visit more carefully when I return from Ephesus in the afternoon. There is a minibus from the bus station in Selcuk to Ephesus, which leaves every 20 minutes and costs 2.5 liras per person. It takes more than 10 minutes to arrive. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi arrived relatively early, and there were not many tourists.

Ephesus was incorporated into the Greek territory in BC and reached its peak in the second century AD. It had an area of ​​2,000 hectares and a population of 250,000, becoming the largest metropolis in Asia, the capital of the province of Asia Minor, and the third largest city in the world after Rome and Alexandria. The Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian, and the Grand Theater are all products of this period.

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

At that time, Ephesus was near the sea and had a pier. It was once a prosperous city with thousands of ships competing for sailing. Later, due to the silting of the river, Ephesus is now 10 kilometers away from the sea. In addition to the damage caused by the earthquake, the most important reason was the migration of the political center. After Constantinople became the new power center, Ephesus completely declined.

The Grand Theatre was more spectacular than the theatre in the ancient city of Hierapolis, but also more modest. Yunluo bravely climbed to the height of the midfield and sat on the stone steps that had existed for thousands of years. He listened to Natasha's impromptu singing in the middle of the stage. Later, a group of tourists from China came. Inspired by the singing, they sent out a representative.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were invited to sing another song. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi thought of "Yunluo Loves You, China" at the same time, so this difficult song was sung in such a bright morning, in such a vicissitudes of life theater. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were like three sopranos. They were quite passionate.

The song ended with constant applause, and then "The Clouds Falling Motherland" was played, which attracted the Chinese people to echo in unison. Several Western backpackers were also very happy and clapped their hands vigorously to show their enjoyment. Just as they were in high spirits, a group of local tour groups came. They said they wanted to listen to the explanation. So, the "performance" ended here.

Otherwise, it would become a song medley for the Spring Festival Gala, and it would be a revolutionary song. I didn't expect Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to be so patriotic. This theater holds an art festival in July and August every year. There are really many cats in the ancient city. The standard photo of the Celsus Library. The ruins of the Celsus Library are the symbol of Ephesus, an ancient Roman building.

Celsus was the richest man in the area and served as the governor of Asia Minor. This was his mausoleum. After his son succeeded to the throne, he built this magnificent library on the mausoleum to commemorate him. The library has 12,000 volumes of books. This facade is a later facade with two floors. The four sculptures on the lower floor represent kindness, knowledge, thought and virtue.

I can't figure out what these two sculptures of Yun Luozhao represent. There are patches on the sculptures. The archway next to the Library of Celsus leads to the old market. This was not only a market but also the largest slave market in the world at that time. Listening to the English explanation, I really couldn't keep up with his speed.

I only heard that everyone who enters must take off their shoes and compare the size with the footprint. Only those whose feet are larger than the footprint can enter, otherwise they are not allowed to enter. I really don't understand what kind of place this is and what purpose it serves. After returning, I searched the Internet and found out that this stone is very special and is said to be the earliest billboard in the world.

It's just that the content is a bit pornographic. It's the sign of a brothel, and only adults can enter. And this brothel is very close to the gorgeous library. The broken stone columns and statues of the Gorgon Medusa in Hadrian's Temple guard a very smooth marble road. I walked on it carefully, thinking how many people would fall if it rained.

This wealth has no regard for pedestrian safety. On this ancient road, many famous people who have influenced history have walked, including Roman emperors, Christian saints, and the seductive Egyptian queen. The statue of the goddess of victory (Nike) and the fountain of Trajan are relics that have been there for thousands of years.

Yunluo, who has never been to Egypt, Greece, or Rome, thinks Ephesus is worth seeing. It is also a popular lesson in architecture. He finally understood that the Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian columns scattered along the valley are quite large. It is also said that this is the largest ancient Roman relic in the world. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi can only see 20%, and 80% is still underground.

Waiting to be discovered. Show all | Reply to travel expert Meili Xiong Follow Meili Xiong Posted on 2014-11-16 19:27 Finally saw the recognized world wonders Artemis Temple-Isabel Mosque-Selcuk Ancient Castle. Walk along the avenue that runs through Ephesus to the gate on the top of the mountain. From here, 6 kilometers away is the Virgin Mary's cottage.

But there is no public transportation on this road, so you can only take a taxi to go there, return or go to other places. Calculating the time, I decided to give up. I returned to the gate at the foot of the mountain by the original road, and continued to take a minibus to see the Temple of Artemis. An uncle at the bus station warmly greeted everyone to sit on the chairs in the shade, and promised that the next bus would call Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi.

A Dutch uncle was already sitting on the bench. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi talked about flowers. Yunluo learned that the Dutch uncle said Turkey is the origin of tulips, and the English word for tulip is tulip. The Dutch uncle complained a little about the climate in Turkey, which is too dry. He told the minibus driver where Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were going. (To be continued...)
