Section 117: Bamboo Horse No Longer
Of course, when the sun comes out, you have to go out for a walk and go to the top of the mountain. The scenery on the mountain is also good, and it feels closer to the sky. It is almost evening at this time, and the sun is gradually setting. Suddenly, it feels easier to go up the mountain, and it is snowy and slippery down the mountain. The landform of Goreme Town. It feels like the small cars here have a retro flavor.
I bought a night bus to Pamukkale at 20:00 in the evening, so I checked in and went to have a meal. I waited until the night to take the bus and I could store my luggage at the station for free. I bought a ticket for Suha, but I came to Pamukkale. I don’t know if the two companies have a cooperative relationship, so the car was delayed for half an hour. It was almost 6 o’clock in the morning when I arrived in Pamukkale.
The first time I took a car for so long, I felt very uncomfortable in the middle of the night, and I had to park more than a dozen stations in the middle of the night, so I had to wash the car once when I stopped. How clean they love it. Although the car provided free food and water, I had no appetite in the middle of the night. Although there was wifi, the signal was not very good and I couldn't watch the on-board TV.
The bus does not stop directly at Pamukkale, but transfers to the bus after arriving at Denizli, and their staff will arrange it. Why choose a bus that has been so long? Because Goreme does not have a direct flight to Pamukkale, and it has to be transferred from Istanbul. Moreover, there are more than 60 kilometers from Pamukkale airport near Pamukkale. It is not as convenient as a bus for such a struggle.
I arrived at the station of Pamukkale at around 6 o'clock in the morning, and it was the station of Pamukkale. The luggage can be stored here. If you want to buy the station's + long + wind + literary + learning, c⊥fwx tickets are also OK. The boss is very enthusiastic and humorous. He will talk to you about gossip and say a lot of "hello" from various countries to say hello to you. Because Pamukkale does not open until 9 o'clock.
So during this period, you can find a toilet to wash your face and brush your teeth, and then find a restaurant to have dinner. There is a restaurant next to this station that tastes good. The owner is Korean, and there are quite a lot of Koreans here. Since I didn’t sleep all night, I didn’t want to take the bus to play by myself, so I asked the boss to book a 1-day tour at the station.
60tl includes lunch, three or four attractions and all tickets, and there is also a tour guide explaining. It starts at 9 o'clock and ends at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. This restaurant is quite kind. Yunluo passed by a travel agency when he was going to the toilet. The man actually knew Chinese. After a few chats, he asked Yunluo if he wanted to take the 1-day tour. Yunluo asked the price and said that 70tl each person, but Yunluo refused at that time.
The main purpose of coming here is the Pamukkale Scenic Area. The adult tickets for Pamukkale are 25tl, and the Herapolis ruins are also included. Opening hours: 9:0019:00. The first thing you see when you walk through the gate is the Herapolis ruins. I feel like you are coming.
There is also a road in the gate, which takes about ten minutes. If you feel it is far away, there are shuttle buses in the scenic area, 2tl per person. The weather is very strong and the clouds are particularly low. It turns out that you can also play paragliding here. The ruins of Herapolis and Pamukkale are in two directions. If you come down to play, you need to take off your shoes. It is recommended that you wear pairs of socks, otherwise your feet will hurt.
The Pamukkale is also quite large. It will probably take more than an hour to go to after the whole trip, but some places cannot be visited. You need to pay attention to safety. No matter how cold the weather is, it cannot stop the girl from taking photos. If it is cold, you can soak your feet, and the water temperature is very comfortable. The weather is only four or five degrees, and some Europeans and Americans are soaked in bikini, which is a bit exciting.
The white walls look like large pieces of cotton, and with large clouds, it looks amazing. If you have enough time, you will definitely be good to watch the sunset here, but you haven't slept all night. After taking the film, hurry back to the hotel to rest. You can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, which is very beautiful. There is also a hot spring to soak between the ruins of Herapolis and Pamukkale.
It is a café, restaurant and shop. The tickets for adults of hot springs are 32tl, and the tickets for children of 612 are 13tl, and the storage is 5tl. The hot spring pool is quite large, and the water is relatively clear. The water is the former monument at the bottom of the water, and you can see many Roman columns inside. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the hot spring pool to the ruins of Herapolis.
There are also some convenience stores next to the ruins of Herapolis, where you don’t need to buy tickets separately. There is a spectacular building, and many people sit on the edge to enjoy the scenery in the distance. If you are in good physical strength, you can also come down to have fun. The feeling of looking from bottom to top is different. It is recommended that you spend 34 hours on the Pamukkale. If you want to soak in the hot spring, you can take a longer time.
Since the hotel booked by Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi is in denizli, which is about 20 kilometers away from Pamukkale, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi go to the station to get their luggage and take a bus to denizli. There is a shuttle bus to denizli station in Pamukkale town, which is available every 5 minutes. The ticket price is 35tl per person. If you want to take a taxi, it will be fine, it will cost about 50tl.
After arriving at the denizli station last night, I immediately bought a ticket to Bodrum the next morning. It was also from Pamukkale Company. The ticket price is 40tl and the journey takes about 5 hours. Since there are fewer people going there during the off-season, everyone in the past was minibus, and a car was merged due to the few people in the middle.
Although it is a small car, there are still services, free food and drinks, and free wifi. You have to learn this domestic bus, haha. Since Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi live opposite the station, they just come out, so it is very convenient. After breakfast, take the bus at 7:00. Since it snowed again last night, I sat in the car and watched the snow scene.
There are many stations in the middle of the car. Each station has a toilet. There are charges for use in the toilet in Tuguo. 115tl. If you need to pay attention, you have to drive around the mountain road. If you are sick, you recommend bringing motion sickness medicine. After a 5-hour drive, I finally arrived at the Bodrum Station. Since the hotel I booked is next to the dock, I took a taxi for about 20tl.
It was already noon when I arrived. After checking in, I found a restaurant to have dinner. After eating, I took a casual look at the dock. After walking around, I felt that it was not a good time to come. Because in winter, the wind on the beach was very strong, and my face was blowing. Because of the off-season, all the boats were parked at the dock and there were no entertainment activities to leave the port. Of course, if you want to charter a boat to sea, you will be rich and willful.
The boss will satisfy you. There are some seafood for sale next to the pier, which may be a local vegetable market, and there is also a castle attraction to visit. The ticket is 25tl. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were not interested and didn't go in to see it. After visiting the pier, they went to the town and went around. The white houses were everywhere. There was a little blue.
There are white houses in the distance, but the bodrum is not very big. I stroll around the town center for twenty or thirty minutes. Some craft shops on the street are very romantic and walk around as they please, with different surprises. I only stayed in the bodrum for a long time, and took a plane back to Istanbul the next morning. I went back to the evening.
Bodrum Airport is called Milasairport, about 35 kilometers away from Bodrum. Since there is no shuttle bus to the airport, I asked the hotel to send the plane to 100tl. Since I bought Pegasus Airlines, I found out that the flight was cancelled when I arrived at the airport, and there was no email notification. It was too much. There were 5 flights a day and 3 flights were cancelled.
Maybe because the number of passengers in the off-season was too small, only the earliest and latest flights were reserved. Since Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi booked a flight at 16:40 pm, they could only change to a flight at 23:00 pm. They waited at the airport for more than 7 hours in vain. The first time they encountered such a miserable one. They originally wanted to change to another airline.
But the situation is the same as Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. All flights only took place after 22:00 pm. This lesson tells Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi that it is recommended that the hotel help you check the flight dynamics of the airport before departure. There are also many pigeons to feed in the square, because it started to rain again after snow, and the ground was very wet.
I originally thought that I could have a big meal when I arrived in Istanbul early. As a result, I stayed at the airport to eat bread. Since Pegasus Airlines parked at Asian Airport, the hotels that arrived in Istanbul were almost 1 a.m., so I should take a shower and go to bed early. There is a bus at Asian Airport that can go directly to Taksim Square, 12tl, because this section of the road is very congested during the day.
It took about 15 hours, and it was soon in the middle of the night, and it was 50 minutes away. Because the hotel where Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi stayed is not far from Taksim Square, I went to Taksim Square and took a taxi to the hotel. The next day, I woke up and went to Taksim Square and the Main Street to stroll around. Taksim Square is the end of the Main Street.
There is a statue erected in the middle, and the tram is also the end point. People who find it don’t like to hold umbrellas when it rains, and most people walk in the rain. Turkey uses lira, and the RMB cannot be exchanged directly there, so you need to exchange US dollars or euros in China and take them there. Euro and US dollars can also be used directly in Turkish countries, but it is not omnipotent.
Only some hotels can use hot air balloons. If you want to bring the card to the local area to withdraw money, you need to find a bank with a green leaf to get the money. Only this kind of airport supports UnionPay. There are two airports in Istanbul, one is the European airport called atuturk, which is relatively close to the city, about half an hour's drive away.
Most international flights stop at this airport and are also the main battlefield of Turkish Airlines. Another airport is located in the Asian region called Sabiah, which is relatively far from the city and is 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 train between the two airports.
You need to take the airport bus to transfer at Taksim Square. The bus fare from European Airport to Taksim Square is 10tl. You can also take the subway. However, you need to transfer. The bus fare from Asian Airport to Taksim Square is 12tl. At present, there are no subway connections at Asian Airport. There are many bus companies in Turkish countries.
The best reputation is pamukkala, metro and suha. Buses are divided into ordinary and luxurious types. The ordinary ones are 4 seats in a row, and the luxurious ones are 3 seats in a row. The fare is determined based on the model and distance. There is free wifi on the car, but the signal is not very good. In addition, there is a TV in each seat.
But Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi couldn't see it, and they also distributed free food and water. Why do you have to take a bus if you have 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 go around this way. It is better to buy a bus ticket directly to take a ride.
Taxi in Istanbul is mainly yellow, and they are all burnt, so the trunk space is relatively small, and the two 24 suitcases are full. I read many posts before that the driver likes to detour, and maybe Yunluo is lucky but has not encountered it. I took a taxi from the European airport to about 50tl, and the taxi to Taksim Square about 70tl.
The subway in Istanbul is still relatively developed. There is an M1 subway direct to AKSAray Station at the European airport. If you want to go to the Blue Mosque, you still need to transfer to T1. You need to pay attention to the fact that you have to take a long way to transfer to AKSAray Station. Although the subway map is marked together, it takes four or five minutes to walk. Tickets cannot be used together. You need to leave the station and purchase tickets separately.
If you don’t buy a bus card and buy a ticket, you will have a 4tl mileage. If you buy a bus card and recharge, you can get a lot of discounts. Istanbul Metro is not like Yunluo and Nalanshuqi, like the domestic subways that require swiping cards to enter and exit. They only need to swipe cards in and out, and they don’t need to swipe cards again when they come out. The machine that buys coin inputs is next to each subway station.
All are designed relatively few. The machine supports 5, 10, 20tl banknote purchases, and of course it also supports coins. The machine collects 4tl at a time. You can buy it by pressing a button. Methods such as Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, which sells beverages in China. The subway map is attached below. Accommodation: Istanbul istanbulmarriotthotelsisli Hotel.
The location is not far from the sisli station on the M2 subway line. It takes three or four minutes to walk, and takes a taxi from the European airport about 70tl. If you want to be rich, you can take a helicopter 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 you will find the subway station.
There are only 2 stops to Taksim Square, and there is also a super big shopping mall nearby. Just come out at the sisli subway station, it is very convenient to eat and shop. Disadvantages: it is expensive, and the Wi-Fi charges are charged. The hotel in Goreme Doorsof Cappadociahotel is relatively new, and it is a relatively high place in the town, so it is good to see the scenery. (To be continued...)
