The temperature in Safranbolu is lower than in Taiwan. It gets colder as the night goes on. How to take beautiful photos of the streets Ottoman mansion A casual shot is a beautiful landscape painting It was already cold when I came to Safranbolu in October. Wear a down jacket on the street When I go out shopping at night, I also wear a scarf The origin of the name "Saffron City" is quite simple, it is because of the abundance of saffron in the past. In the past, Safranbolu rose to prominence due to its convenient transportation location, located on the only way for east-west trade, connecting the busy trade between Europe and Asia. The Saffron Town was selected as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994, which further demonstrates its unique historical status👍 #TravelCoolExperience #Romantic #Couple Travel #Turkey #Turkey #travel #travelholic #100 Ways to Travel #Overseas Travel #safranbolu

If you've ever wandered the streets of Istanbul, İzmir, or any Turkish town, you've probably noticed them—majestic, independent, and surprisingly friendly. Turkey isn’t just a paradise for travelers; it’s a paradise for cats🐈⬛🐈⬛. From the ancient ruins of Ephesus to the bustling Grand Bazaar, thousands of cats 🐈⬛roam freely, lounging on historic stones, throughing between café tables, and even napping in mosques. But why does Turkey have so many cats? 🐾 A Deep Cultural Connection – Cats 🐈⬛have been cherished in Turkish society for centuries. Islamic tradition speaks of the Prophet Muhammad’s love for cats❤️, and today, many Turks continue to care for them with food, shelter, and kindness🥰. 🐾 A City’s Furry Residents – Unlike in many countries where strays struggle to survive, Turkish cats are adored. Locals and tourists alike leave out food and water, and some neighborhoods even build tiny cat houses to protect them from the weather. 🐾 A Unique Travel Experience – In Turkey, don’t be surprised if a cat jumps onto your lap while you sip Turkish tea or curls up next to you at a park bench. They’ve become part of the landscape, blending seamlessly with the country’s vibrant atmosphere.

So, next time you find yourself in Istanbul, take a moment to appreciate the city’s most charming locals—the cats! 🐱✨ #CatsOfTurkey #TravelWithCats #IstanbulCats #istanbul #cats #turkey #animallovers

Hello 🌞 I'm very happy that the article I posted about my trip to Turkey has received a much bigger response than I expected 🇹🇷 I received a lot of questions, and one of them was, "Can I go to both Istanbul and Cappadocia in one trip?" So I wrote an article about it this time. First of all, there are no direct flights from Japan to Cappadocia, so I think you will go to Cappadocia via Istanbul, so it is possible to go to both at the same time. When I visited last year, I took a relaxed schedule, so I spent a lot of time in Istanbul, but if you are mainly going to Cappadocia, you can transfer to a flight to Cappadocia from Istanbul, or you can stay in Istanbul for 3 nights and Cappadocia for 2 nights. As for Cappadocia, I was lucky to see hot air balloons, but it seems that the probability of them flying is low, so if you absolutely want to see hot air balloons, I recommend staying in Cappadocia for more than 3 nights! (I heard that the balloons didn't fly for about three days after the day I saw them, and my friend returned without seeing them 😿) Also, you can't ride the balloon on the day you move to Cappadocia, so you need to stay at least one night. However, there are only a few things you can do in Cappadocia other than the balloon, so many people join the Red Tour or Green Tour after the tour. With this tour, you can cover almost all the tourist sites in Cappadocia in one go, so if you set aside more time for the balloon ride, you might end up with nothing to do if you miss out on seeing everything... This is all about luck 🥹 Balloon tours vary depending on the season, but they cost from 15,000 to 50,000 yen. Green tours and red tours are around 8,000 to 10,000 yen. Balloon tours range from cheap to expensive, but if you go too cheap, you may fly quite far from the city center and there may only be a few balloons around, so it might be a good idea to carefully consider the price and reviews ✨———————————————————————————▪︎Tao/Current university student/Hobby is traveling abroad/Studying abroad in three countries: Canada, the Philippines, and Dubai#Overseas travel trip #Turkey #Istanbul #Turkey trip

#TravelEurope I've fallen in love with Turkey, the city of charm. 🇹🇷 A city of architecture that combines two poles of culture. A city with many beautiful photo spots, kind people, and fat cats that cat lovers must love. Take a boat trip to see the magnificent view of the Bosphorus Strait. Go up in a balloon to see the cool view in Cappadocia. Experience the amazing hot springs in Pamukkale. See the ruins of ancient civilizations in the ancient city of Ephesus. Finally, try the steak of the famous salt-sprinkled legend Saltbae in Istanbul. As for traveling between cities in Turkey, we recommend taking a domestic flight. You may spend a little more money, but you don't have to sit in the car for many hours. Because each city that is a main tourist attraction is quite far from each other! Overall, Turkey is another country that we have fallen in love with. With many beautiful tourist attractions, kind and friendly people, cool weather, and fat cats in every city, all of these make Turkey another country that is charming and we want everyone to come and experience it. #100WaysToTravel #Turkey #Istanbul #Cappadocia #Pamukkale

UK student reading week trip to Turkey (return post)|||I went to Turkey with a good friend during reading week. The e-visa only took 10 minutes to apply for, and it wasn't too far away, so we both agreed on it. Because of the recent terrorist attack in Turkey, we were a little worried, so we decided to join a local tour group for some peace of mind. We didn't need to plan anything and could just relax and enjoy the trip. . We only had a week, so we only spent five days in two cities: Istanbul and Cappadocia. We visited some classic attractions, such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and Goreme Town. We also tried some activities, such as a Bosphorus cruise, hot air balloon ride, and a ride in a popular vintage car. Overall, the five-day itinerary was well planned, and we had a great time! . 📝Some tips 1. Women need to wear a headscarf and cover their arms and legs when entering the Blue Mosque. 2. Students should bring their student ID cards, as many attractions offer discounts. 3. Don't exchange money at the airport, as the exchange rate is high. Wait until you get to the city center. 4. If you want to take a hot air balloon ride, book in advance and check the weather. 5. Watch out for dual pricing and don't get ripped off. 6. Bring a warm coat, as the temperature difference between morning and evening in Cappadocia is huge. It can be very cold in the morning when watching the hot air balloons. . 👉Tour experience We were satisfied with the whole trip. The car was a seven-seater, so we could sit or lie down comfortably. The driver drove steadily, and I didn't feel carsick at all. The hotels were star-rated and very clean, and we stayed in a cave hotel for one night. At the attractions, the guide would give us a brief introduction, and then we could take photos and check in at our own pace. It was very free and easy. If you're still wondering where to go during reading week, Turkey is a great choice!

Pamukkale is Turkey's "new generation of beauty" The most dreamy tourist spot Located in Denizli, Turkey, it is also a well-known hot spring resort, the only limestone landscape listed on the World Cultural Heritage List. Before coming to Turkey, Pamukkale was the spot I least expected, mainly because the internet said the difference between the picture and the real thing was too big, and some people even said the water smelled bad🥲 The reality was super beautiful that day!! Okay!! It became my most unforgettable memory point in Turkey, without one. 😍 ♨️The white Pamukkale with mountains and water, known as "the most beautiful hot spring in the world", has been a hot spring resort since the Greek era, and it is said that Cleopatra once bathed here. The local guide said that Pamukkale is estimated to disappear completely in ten years, mainly due to the initial unreasonable development, wastewater discharge, so we are lucky to see it now! Also, be sure to go to the adjacent ancient Greek city ruins of Hierapolis, which is also part of this World Heritage 🏛️. "Hierapolis" comes from Greek, meaning "holy city", which objectively explains the history of this ancient city. The ancient city of Hierapolis was founded in the 2nd century BC by the ancient Greek Pergamon Kingdom, and after continuous improvement by the ancient Romans, it reached its peak of prosperity. However, even the most powerful humans cannot resist the power of nature. A nearly perfect ancient Roman city turned into ruins after a unprecedented earthquake, leaving only ruins. 🤯 Romantic and decadent, probably the best description of Pamukkale. Barefoot on the white stalactites of Pamukkale Feel the fairyland created by nature This is romantic💕 Walk to the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis at the top of Pamukkale Rocks are everywhere, and the ruins stand quietly on the top of the mountain overlooking the world It always makes people feel desolate and tragic This is decadent😕 🚗Transportation: Take a minibus from Denizli Bus Terminal to Pamukkale, the ticket is about 4.5 lira, the journey is about 30 minutes, and there is a bus every 15 minutes. 🧾Ticket: The ticket price for Pamukkale is 700 lira, Turkish bath and sightseeing bus are charged separately, or you can choose to buy a hot spring joint ticket. 🚶Travel time: Spring and autumn are the best, early in the morning or near sunset, is the best time to visit Pamukkale.

Should you look for a budger holiday (not so literally!) offering that diversity of experiences and activities, Turkey is the country. Each city has its own unique vibe - Be it the Aisa connecting Europe via the busy Bosphorus bridge in the city of Istanbul, or the cave houses of Cappadocia or the natural thermal travertines of Pammukale. Go Turkey! #istanbul #cappadocia #pamukkale #turkey

Göksu Şelalesi is a place located just under two hours by car from Konya city, Turkey. It has covered tables where you can have a picnic, so it's recommended for those who want to spend a relaxing weekend with family and friends. There is also a restaurant on the premises, so you can enjoy it even if you come empty-handed. The water in the river is clear and blue. Refresh yourself by getting splashed with the waterfall's spray and feeling the negative ions all over your body. It may not be a place you can easily go to, but it is also recommended for those who are tired of sightseeing in the city. #Turkey #TurkeyTrip #EnjoyingNature #NaturalScenery #AmazingScenery #AmazingSceneryVisiting

Places to visit in Turkey📷 1️⃣ Pamukkale People who have been there once say that you don't have to go there, but if it's your first time to Turkey, you absolutely can't miss it👀 When you actually go, the size of the natural hot springs is smaller than you think, and it doesn't look like a huge white glow, but it's still mysterious and beautiful✨ If you're a little late, it'll be crowded with group tourists, so you definitely need to go to Open Run🙏🏻 2️⃣ Antalya Even if you don't like resorts that much, this place is different! The luxurious vibe makes you feel like you're going to ride something luxurious🥰 There are a lot of pretty resort restaurants and cafes on the beach, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The Mediterranean is the best👏🏻 3️⃣ Cappadocia A place you must go to see the balloons rising with the sunrise💕 There aren't many days when the balloons rise, so if you really want to ride a balloon, you need to do it at least 5 days, and you're likely to ride it at least once. Of the 3 days we spent, the last day was the last day of the balloon ride. But the trap is that it's much prettier to see it from outside than to ride it yourself🤦🏻‍♀️ 4️⃣ Oludeniz If you go to Fethiye for paragliding, you must visit Oludeniz right next door🌊 Swimming in a quiet and comfortable small beach and drinking hot chai tea with two sugar cubes at an ocean view cafe makes me feel like I'm on vacation☕️ 5️⃣ Istanbul My favorite city that needs no introduction, Istanbul🫶🏻 It's also a food paradise with exotic scenery that forms the border between Europe and Asia and heavenly flavors like Kaymak, kebab, and cezve💕 #TravelPlan #TurkeyTravel #Pamukkale #Antalya #Cappadocia #Istanbul

#TurkeyTourism #Turkey #HistoryMuseum #Grade I Historic Building Hagia Sophia Located in Istanbul, Turkey, this old religious building, formerly known as Hagia Sophia, has a history of nearly 1,500 years. It is famous for its huge dome and is a model of architecture that changed the history of architecture. It was originally called Hagia Sophia Museum and was renamed Hagia Sophia Cathedral⛪️ or Mosque🕌️. No matter which name is correct, it is the most accurate and the historical legacy is the real meaning. This is a magnificent cathedral with a rich history. Although you have to wait in a long line to visit, it is still worth experiencing this historical and cultural architectural museum. #Historical Monuments #Historical Buildings #Historical Museums #World Cultural Heritage

When you come to the Guo Limei Open-Air Museum, as the name suggests, it is very unique with the open-air environment. The entire 99-piece group really looks very good when you climb down.

You must come to visit this reason

The bread in Turkey is very special. This is a very special hot spring resort. The whole white area looks endless and beautiful. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall next to it is also very unique. It is a super beautiful enjoyment to appreciate the two kinds of communities. Don't forget that you must not leave the country when you go to Türkiye.

This hotel is a very unique cave hotel in Turkey. Living in a cave, in addition to experiencing the style of an iron man, you can also experience a different temperature. The scenery here is really beautiful. When you drive out, you will see the whole beautiful scenery. There are also some water resources that can be used. This is a very good Turkish hotel. I recommend that you must come here to cook if you have the opportunity.

Have you ever thought about watching the sunrise from a hot air balloon? The most classic itinerary in Turkey is to watch the sunrise early in the morning. It's really early in the morning, and you're not sure whether the wind direction is suitable for hot air balloon rides. But when you see the sunrise from the sky, you may feel that everything is worth it. I highly recommend that you meet and see the unique beauty of the clinic, take beautiful photos, and give yourself an unforgettable journey memory.
