Great trip beginning with Lara waterfall which is a river flowing down to the sea. A beautiful view 💕 Secondly, we went to the market to see Sultan Diamond 💎 which changes it’s color due to the light. This treasure can only be seem in Turkey. 3rd photo is a cruise tour from Antalya’s Old town. It was so exciting and we took so many photos with beautiful ocean backgrounds. And the next stop we went to Konyaaltì beach to have lunch. The restaurant was nice. After that we went to the mountain. Rode a cable car, watched whole Antalya city from the top. And finally, we stopped at the Düden waterfall garden. A beautiful garden with waterfall, bat cave, rock bridge and many more sites to see. All thanks to the agency, everything was perfect ❤️ #awesomepic #antalya #citytour #duden #oldtown #larawaterfall #sea #konyaalti #cablecar

Gazibegendi Park is a place where you can see all Kusadasi town from a hill. It is a beautiful spot to take pictures and have a nice, very reasonably priced, meal in the cafe owned by the Kusadasi Municipality with an amazing view. When you arrive to the park, the first thing you see is the statue of Ataturk, sitting and looking at the view. It is very impressive. One of the best moments of the day to see the view from the hill at sunset. So many travelers are going there at sunset to take pictures and enjoy the wonderful scenery. #mountainview #themepark #cafe #summervacation #beaches #staycation #awesomepic

I tried this coffee shop/ restaurant last year in 2020 as most locals and foreigners in Antalya come here. Back then the experience with food and drinks was awful (ordered a salad and Turkish tea as clear as water). Recently in 2021 I’m back in Antalya and told myself to give it another shot. I ordered San Sebastián Cheesecake and it was very hard and dense. Chocolate syrup was obviously reheated again and again and mixed with water to liquify. Turkish tea this had more color but still tastes like water :( It was not worth another try. #food #cheesecake #antalya #wintergetaway #tigeryear2022 #staycation #beachlife

Antalya is one of the most attractive tourist cities in Turkey because of its unique geographical location on the Mediterranean coast. Antalya has beautiful natural places and historical sites. The region covers 600 kilometres of coastline with gorgeous sandy beaches, hidden coves and beautiful bays. Antalya is the country’s second biggest tourist destination after Istanbul. Antalya is not only about beaches, it is also a classically beautiful city, rich with history and traditional Turkish food. The city is bustling with markets, shopping malls, fancy hotels, cafés, restaurants, bars, beach clubs and etc. There’s so much to discover in this sunny, seaside city such as: Old Town (Kaleici), Old Harbor, Hadrian’s Gate, Perge Ruins, Aspendos Ruins and Theatre, Termessos Ruins, Duden Waterfalls and many more. #historicplaces

The Duden Waterfalls are one of the most visited sights around Antalya city center. Duden Waterfalls is a group of waterfalls, there are Upper Duden Waterfall and Lower Duden Waterfall. The Upper Duden Waterfall is pretty impressive and it is located in a beautiful national park Duden at a distance of 12 km from the Antalya city center. It is easy to get there by taxi or a city bus. The Upper Duden Waterfall can be seen from behind too as there is a cave where tourists have access. The view is really impressive! There are also few restaurants just next to the waterfall where you can sit and enjoy the view. #themepark

The Basilica of St. John is a cathedral located above the burial place of John the Apostle. The cathedral is located on Ayasuluk Hill, below the fortress, near the center of İzmir province. On the day we went, the cathedral was closed, so we only took pictures of the surrounding area. The church is small and in ruins due to its age. According to legend, during his lifetime until his death, he preached Christianity. Before his death, other apostles visited St. John, and on the following Sunday, St. John continued to preach Christianity before he entered the cave of his church, which was lit by a strong light that prevented his disciples from getting any closer. When the light faded, he disappeared with it. It is said that St. John did not die, but lay beneath his tomb, and every time he breathed, he stirred up the dust around his altar, which made them holy. For this reason, the dust, called manna, was said to be able to heal the sick. #waitingfordeparture

I hate museums, but I like to tour the ruins of entire cities, so I enjoyed seeing the traces of the buildings built white with limestone. In particular, the fact that the roads were made of pretty stones one by one seemed so romantic. 📍Ephesus #2019Travel#Must-See Ruins#Safe Travel

🇹🇷Wandering in the Kingdom of Stars and Moon｜Antalya｜Going to the Sea⠀ ⠀ After lunch, I returned to the hotel to take a short nap and did not go out again until around 5pm. As it was getting dark, we had not originally planned to go out on a boat that day, but we happened to meet the boatman who said that the boat would leave soon, so we decided to take an impromptu boat trip on the Mediterranean. ·⠀ Compared to the Bosphorus cruise in Istanbul, the Mediterranean cruise in Antalya is more expensive, probably because the boatman quoted the price in the same way as seafood, and the boat was about to set sail, so I didn't bargain deliberately; in the end, the price was $35TL (about HK$45) for a 45-minute cruise. ⠀ ·⠀ Perhaps because the time at sea was short, I felt that the time at sea was both fulfilling and brief. I vaguely remember that the boat was traveling at a very fast speed, and I felt very happy watching the sapphire blue and green sea water being splashed repeatedly. The boat sailed for a while, slowed down for a while at the main tourist attraction, Düden Waterfalls, and then turned back along the way. ⠀ ·⠀ As the boat sails towards the waterfall, the crew will take photos for each group of guests and provide navy hats as photo props. Of course, they will sell you photos before you get off the boat; I especially appreciate that they will stick the photos on a wooden photo frame in the shape of an anchor ⚓️, with the word Antalya printed on the frame. Such a memorable souvenir is only $30TL, which is absolutely worth the money! ⠀ ✁…………………………………………………………⠀⠀ #angeljourni #LittleDrifting #Turkey #TravelInspiration #ScenicScenicPhotographyGuide #MostCoolTravelExperience #KolCheck-inHotspot #OverseasTravel 20190521｜Antalya｜Day8

🇹🇷Wandering in the Kingdom of Stars and Moon｜Antalya｜Seaside Restaurant⠀ ⠀ When the night bus arrived in Antalya, it was only around 7 o'clock in the morning. It took nearly an hour to get to the hotel. Fortunately, I was able to check in early, unload my luggage and take a short rest. ·⠀ Slept until noon, planned to walk around and have lunch. Just search on the map and you'll spot a coastal restaurant. The restaurant is about 10 minutes away from the hotel and has good reviews online. No wonder the restaurant was still full of customers even though it was a slow day. ·⠀ Luckily, we only had to wait for a while before we got a table for two people near the sea. As soon as I sat down, what caught my eye was not the menu on the table, but the endless sea; to be honest, I give that sea 100 points! ⠀ ·⠀ The prices in Türkiye are not high, and you don’t have to think twice before ordering food. We ordered spaghetti, burgers, fried squid rings and beer, which only cost $153TL (about HK$200). The restaurant's food quality is good, the food is paired with a sea view, and the price-performance ratio is very high. ⠀ ·⠀ Looking at the sea that sparkles like gemstones under the sun, no matter how tired you are during the journey, you will be relieved the moment you look at the sea. ⠀ ·⠀ 📍Castle Cafe & Bistro⠀ ✁…………………………………………………………⠀⠀ #angeljourni #LittleDriftingJournal⠀ #Turkey #TravelInspiration #ScenicSightsPhotographyGuide #MostStylishTravelExperience #kolCheck-inHotspot #OverseasTravel⠀ 20190521｜Antalya｜Day8

🇹🇷Wandering in the Kingdom of Stars and Moon｜Antalya｜First meeting⠀ ⠀ The moment I met Antalya, I knew I would fall in love with this city. ⠀ ·⠀ If Istanbul is a must-visit; Cappadocia is where you long to see hot air balloons all over the sky; Fethiye is where you can have an exciting paragliding trip; and Pamukkale is where you discover after visiting that it is not as pure white and soft as cotton - then meeting Antalya can be considered a beautiful accident. ⠀ ·⠀ Antalya is a city near the Mediterranean Sea. In terms of popularity, it is certainly not as well-known as Cappadocia and Pamukkale. Even Asians are not very familiar with this city, but it is a tourist hotspot for foreign tourists. ⠀ ·⠀ I stayed in Antalya for just two days and hardly saw a single Asian face. Perhaps because there aren’t many Asians, there’s an illusion of escaping to a country called “unknown”. ⠀ ·⠀ The sea here is so blue that even the air seems exceptionally fresh. ⠀ I missed you, Antalya; always looking forward to coming back again. ⠀ ✁…………………………………………………………⠀⠀ #angeljourni #LittleDrifting #Turkey #TravelInspiration #ScenicScenicPhotographyGuide #MostStylishTravelExperience #kolCheck-inHotspot #OverseasTravel⠀ 20190521｜Antalya｜Day8

[Mediterranean port city, Antalya, Turkey] Part 1 Antalya is a port city located in the Antalya Bay in the southwestern part of Turkey. The photo above is the Marina Port (Old City Marina), which is said to have the most beautiful view in Antalya. You can see the Mediterranean Sea and the port at a glance. The scenery in front of you is so beautiful that you can't help but stare at it for a long time. If you go down to the bottom of the port, you can see the Mediterranean Sea closer. The sky, the sea, the castle, the palm trees, and even the season in the photo is December winter, but it was so warm that there were people swimming. There are many parks near the Marina Port, not only tourists but also Antalya citizens were enjoying their leisure time in the nearby parks. From couples dating to citizens paragliding, it was truly peaceful. Turkey, especially Antalya, is a place that helped me completely get rid of the image I had of Turkey as a 'conservative', 'Muslim country'. These days, there are even people who 'live in Antalya for a month'. If I get the chance, it's the number one travel destination I want to visit again. #Turkey#Antalya#Mediterranean #turkey#antalya #土耳其#安塔利亚 #trippal

Going to Antalya to feel the sunshine of the Mediterranean Antalya, is a beautiful coastal city on the Mediterranean side, with blue-green emerald-colored water in the port of the town, with a bright eye and A variety of hospitable locals. In addition to the superior natural environment, there is the Antalya Archaeological Museum, which displays various artifacts from the Paleolithic and Ottoman Empires, including the Apollo statue, the sculpture of the son of Zeus, Hercules, and the still intact Turkish for 400 years. The hand-made carpets are stunning, and the museums introduction also reveals the history of Santas living in Antalya.

Turkey|Antalya Antalya is a port city in southern Turkey. It was built in the second century BC. During the Eastern Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire, it was already one of the important ports in the Eastern Mediterranean, so the whole The ancient city has a deep trace of history. The climate is still typical of the Mediterranean climate. However, there are about 300 sunny days in a year. The annual sunshine is sufficient. The once important economic and trade port has now become a tourist city, except for historical sites. You can swim and surf in the summer, and you can go skiing in the winter. The small city can receive tens of thousands of tourists a year, far below the price of Europe, but it has all the elements that other Mediterranean resorts should have, so here Basically one of the cities that Turkey must travel to.

The scenery of the pier is attracting us, so we slowly walk towards the beach. Antalya is located on the Mediterranean coast, where the coast is like an emerald. The dock is docked with a wide variety of boats, and the free-spirited friends should be much cheaper on board the cruise. There are many types of cruise ships, and the appearance is also very strange. There are all kinds of pirates, which are very fun. In addition to the cruise ship, I also saw some small yachts and simple fishing boats, which should be used for fishing. It is conceivable that the morning in the morning should be full of fishermen and very lively. There is a long dam at the dock, sitting here to enjoy the scenery, listening to the sea breeze, so good. There are a lot of lovely people near the wharf , who are ashamed to ask the tourists who want to take photos with you, the old people who are dedicated to fishing, the humorous and hustle and bustle of the boatman, etc. They add a beautiful landscape to the coast. The scenery is beautiful, but to remind the little friends, there are all kinds of melon seeds here. The Turks really like to eat roasted seeds and nuts and nuts. It is a happy life for them to enjoy the shells. As a Chinese, we must travel to ensure our own quality.

This is the landmark of the Library of Celsus, which is also the attraction of a large number of travel enthusiasts who like us to appreciate and explore a history that is not hidden: this year only allowed men to enter. The library, originally hidden inside a tunnel leading to the brothel, provides an excuse for men to return to the land they are really interested in. The wife also thought that her man could study tirelessly in the library for a whole day. The size of the library was then the second largest in Asia Minor. It had a collection of 12,000 books, second only to the city of Bergama. The building faces the east, so the reading room can make the most of the morning light. The library has survived fires and earthquakes, and its front door is still standing. The most recent renovation was in 1970. The four goddesses are clearly visible in the porch of the gate, behind the stone pillars, representing wisdom, destiny, learning, and virtue. Currently seen as a replica, the authenticity is hidden in the Vienna Museum in Austria.

The romantic St. John's Church is a very old Gothic church in the old town. On the way to the Old Town Square from the Palace Castle, you can see the beautiful St. John's Church. This Gothic building, with its dark red spires towering high, is very different from the surrounding architecture. The top of the church, arranged in red and pink, looks like a huge harp, which is particularly eye-catching. In addition to the exquisite and beautiful appearance, the history of this church is also quite legendary. It used to be a very old building. It was born in the 13th century and has been transformed into a larger scale. However, unfortunately, the church was destroyed by fighters during World War II. The church that I see now is rebuilt by the descendants according to the style of the church that year. The entire church is red in appearance and is decorated in a classic style. Especially with a historical background about it, there is an inexplicable tribute to it. It not only brings together the wisdom of the local people, but also the people's good wishes for peace. Next to the church in St. John, there is also a Temple of Grace Temple. Although the two seem to be closely intertwined, the styles are quite different. Next to the Temple of Grace Temple is the late Renaissance, it seems a lot simple, but the "Angel's Gate" carving on the door of the church is amazing, the whole sculpture is exquisite, and it is only wonderful. The interior of the church is bright and elegant. Many newcomers will hold weddings here, which shows that in the eyes of local people, they still have a very high status.

Standing on Turkey's Aegean Coast, I finally understood what it means to witness a truly breathtaking view. The sun slowly sinks below the horizon, its golden-red rays painting the entire ocean, with shimmering waves resembling countless scattered gold fragments. Time seems to stand still in that moment. Even more magical is the transformation when the sun sets and the moon quietly rises. The Aegean Sea takes on a different mood. The night colors the waves silver-white, a gentle breeze brushes the surface, and the only sounds are the waves and the beating of my heart. Sitting at a local seaside café, I ordered a cup of Turkish red tea and quietly watched the sky transition from golden hues to deep blue. The moonlight reflecting on the sea felt like a serene poem. The sunset here is not just a view but a ceremony; a soulful moment in the journey and my deepest longing for the Aegean Sea. Highly recommended for those seeking inner peace and the beauty of nature's harmony. 📍 Location: Turkey's Aegean Coast (Kuşadası, Çeşme, and other spots offer great views) 🕒 Best time: 5 PM to 8 PM

Originally I always thought that Turkey in winter would not be as out of the circle as those posted online The experience of traveling to Turkey in winter is not bad at all!                    —— First ❄️winter in Türkiye It feels like a charter everywhere Tourists are really rare❗️ To know about Turkey as a popular travel destination in the world The level of crowding during peak season is unimaginable Especially big IPs like Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, and Pamukkale It will ❌ spoil your travel experience to a large extent When there are fewer people Instead, it magnifies your feelings about the scenery and humanity in the local area You may even overturn previous perceptions of the country For example, in peak season you have to force yourself to grab a photo spot📷 Now you can have your own full city sunrise🌅 This is the advantage of reverse travel✨ Secondly, Turkey in winter is not as cold as you think⛄️ Waterfront cities like Istanbul, Antalya It's almost 10 degrees or so 1 thin down jacket + rush jacket is enough Kapa is colder but almost the same as Shanghai And now out of season to Türkiye The value for money is really pulled full Whether it’s airfare ✈️ or hotel 🏨 It's half cheaper than the peak season! Completely for a luxury getaway at a super affordable price!

We took a bus from the ancient city of Ephesus in Izmir to a small town on the Aegean Sea in Turkey. We didn't stay long because we were just passing by, but we did enjoy the sea view on the beach. The Aegean Sea is a romantic sea for Chinese people, and we thought we could only enjoy its beauty in Greece. It is actually a long and narrow bay between western Turkey and Greece, and part of the Mediterranean Sea. The streets of the town are clean and tidy, with hotels and inns everywhere, and beautiful beaches. It is a typical tourist destination. The key is that it is very close to the ancient city of Ephesus, and passengers from all over the world who want to visit the ancient city have to disembark here and transfer to a car to visit. It is both a tourist attraction and a transfer station, and you can see many foreign tourists vacationing on the beach.

|||Who can say no to Turkey? Who can resist Türkiye? You can get a visa on arrival in 10 minutes. You can go anywhere you want! The Mediterranean coast is picturesque, and the strange rocks and underground cities of Cappadocia are like a fairyland. The ancient cities of Hierapolis and Ephesus have witnessed thousands of years of changes. It is beautiful, but there are also many pitfalls. Here are some of the pitfalls in Turkey: ★1. Never pick up a shoe brush that has fallen on the road! A common scam is that after you pick up a shoe brush, the shoe shiner will ask you to lift your feet to the shoe shine rack, apply a spoonful of oil to the shoes, and then directly ask for 400 liras (about RMB 100) 2. Taking a taxi is really bad. For example, when you take an Uber, when you arrive at the destination, the meter shows more than 400 yuan, but the actual platform charge is more than 1,000 yuan, plus additional fees. The tour guide said that Turkish taxis also overcharge passengers, regardless of whether they are local or foreign. ★3. If someone approaches you, don’t pay any attention to him, as they are the ones who are trying to lure you to black bars and rip you off. ★4. Don’t pay attention to strangers who ask for directions. The tour guide said it’s common to see scammers in pairs, one pretending to ask for directions while the other takes the opportunity to pick up your bag. Avoiding the above pitfalls, I had a lot of fun. Let me share my 11-day itinerary~ ★In the first three days, I flew from Shanghai to Istanbul, and then to Izmir. I visited Sirince (drank many kinds of fruit wine), the ancient city of Ephesus (an important commercial center in ancient Rome), Pamukkale (very beautiful) and the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis (very spectacular). I also experienced roasted lamb and a hot spring bath. It is really comfortable to soak in hot springs in winter. ★On the 4th and 5th days, we took a bus to Fethiye on the Mediterranean coast to see the Dead Sea, the Blue Lagoon (the sea water is sapphire-colored) and the old town of Paspatur (with many Turkish specialty shops), experienced paragliding, and walked along the coastal highway D400 that crosses the Dead Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Aegean Sea to the small town of Kaş (medieval style), experienced the special grilled fish lunch, and arrived at the old town of Kaleici Antalya. ★On the sixth day, we were in the Tenac Mountain area (where we saw many strange-shaped rocks), and we also visited Konya, the "birthplace of the whirling dance," and the Mevlana Museum, and arrived in Cappadocia (the stone forest was spectacular). Days 7-8 in Cappadocia mainly involved hot air balloon rides, experiencing traditional Turkish costumes and food in local residents' homes, visiting the Ancient Rome Open Air Museum, fairy chimneys and Derinku Underground City, eating clay pot meals, and a thousand--the fairytale town at night is really romantic! Fly to Istanbul at night~ ★On the ninth day, we visited the Blue Mosque and the ancient Roman Colosseum, and tried the special barbecue lunch. All three meals are group meals, so there is no problem filling your stomach. Some group members are not very used to barbecue, but I personally think it is quite delicious. ★Free activities on the tenth day (climb the Pierre Loti Mountain by cable car + cruise the Bosphorus Strait. Europe is on the left and Asia is on the right. The architectural styles on both sides of the Strait are very different. You can feel the cultural integration across Asia and Europe) ★ Day 11: I reluctantly returned to my country~ $I went alone, and I was afraid it was unsafe, so I signed up for a tour that my classmate had participated in before. It cost me over 10,000 yuan (air tickets, five-star hotels, three meals, and tickets to attractions)
