Crocus City is located north of Ankara, the capital of Turkey, about 3 hours' drive away. It is considered a particularly independent attraction. Because it is not easy to get there, many people choose not to visit it in order to save a day and a half. After the actual visit, I feel that this world heritage site located in the Anatolian Plateau is still worth visiting. The unique Ottoman style town witnesses the prosperity of the past❤️ It only takes about half a day to walk around the entire town with slow photography. Currently, there are only about 1,000 residents left. They mainly operate B&Bs and commercial restaurants. Most of the locals have moved to the new area. Looking down from the commanding heights, you can see the unique three-story buildings with red tiles and white walls densely dotted throughout the small town, giving it a neat and orderly feel. I was lucky enough to take aerial photos on the plane flying to Ankara (very proud) Slowly walking down the steps are various shops and restaurants. The unique souvenir here is the three-story small house made of wood. You can buy a few and hang them on the wall at home. They are very cute❤️ # Crocus City #100 Ways to Travel #RedWall #TurkeyMustGo #Aerial Photography

🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities:

Located in the central northern part of Turkey, Safranbolu gets its name from being a production area for saffron flowers 🪻. The reason this townscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site is because the houses from the Ottoman Empire era, dating back to the 11th century, are still well-preserved. You can see with your own eyes the "caravanserais" often mentioned in world history. These were once used by travelers along the Silk Road stretching from China to Anatolia, and now they have been converted into hotels. It's quite charming that these facilities continue to serve as places for lodging across the ages ✨. Hıdırlık Hill is a breathtaking spot where you can view the entire town (as shown in the first photo). The reddish-brown roofs, white walls, and houses with large windows that seem to allow good ventilation are laid out like a miniature model, making it endlessly delightful to gaze at... 🏠♡ Shoemakers and blacksmiths have also passed down their crafts through generations, and as you stroll through the town, you'll come across many such shops. There are hardly any pushy vendors, allowing you to enjoy a relaxed and leisurely time. Long-distance buses are available from Istanbul, so be sure to visit this charming town ✨.

The gummies neutralize the bitterness of the coffee Achieved a very harmonious taste Order a cup of coffee and enjoy it under the grape trees~ Admire the city's architectural beauty and watch the people passing by Very pleasant If you like the taste of coffee, you can buy a bag of coffee powder and a copper coffee pot.

There is also a surprising highlight here: 🐈There are so many cats, and they are super friendly! They will rub against your feet generously, and some will even jump onto chairs to drink tea with you. They are not afraid of strangers at all. When taking photos, she would quietly enter the frame and accidentally become a little model. For cat lovers, this is heaven. There is also a small clock tower and several ancient mosques in the town. Walking up the hillside, you can reach an observation deck from which you can overlook the rooftops of the entire Safranbolu City.

I recently traveled to Safranbolu and stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Safranbolu. My experience was so impressive that I couldn't help but share it with everyone. 🧹Soundproofing/Hygiene: A Double Treat of Quiet and Cleanliness Upon entering the hotel room, my first impression was its cleanliness. Every corner of the room was spotless, the bed was neatly made, the desk was gleaming, and the bathroom was odorless, with all the fixtures sparkling. The hotel's soundproofing was also exceptional. Closing the door instantly shut out the outside world. Whether it was the traffic on the streets or the hustle and bustle in the corridors, I could hardly hear a thing. At night, I was able to sleep soundly in such a quiet environment and wake up refreshed. This dual experience of tranquility and cleanliness greatly relaxed my tired body and mind. 🏘️Room Type/Layout: Well-Planned and Comfortable The hotel offers a variety of room types, and I stayed in a standard room this time. The room layout was very reasonable. There was a small entrance area with a luggage rack for convenient storage. Further inside, the bed was located on one side of the room, soft and comfortable, with a delicate bedside table next to it, equipped with a lamp and a telephone. On the other side was the work area, with a spacious desk and a comfortable chair, making it convenient for office work or handling other matters. The room also had a leisure corner with a comfortable sofa and coffee table, perfect for reading or enjoying tea. The use of space in the entire room was just right, neither cramped nor empty, creating a warm and comfortable feeling. 🛌Amenities/Facilities: Excellent Quality and Everything You Need The hotel's amenities and facilities were top-notch.

The hotel's multiple restaurants and bars offered a wide variety of food and drinks, allowing guests to enjoy delicious meals in a pleasant dining environment. 💰Average Cost: High Value for Money My stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Safranbolu cost around 800 yuan per person (including accommodation and dining).

The Hilton Garden Inn Safranbolu, with its attentive service, high-quality facilities, and comfortable environment, added many wonderful memories to my trip.
