"Travel - Türkiye" The place where you can get a visa in half an hour is also the place where dreams begin!

If you forward this koi, you will have good luck in the future! October is a bad month for you. . Turkey, a place where you can get a visa in just half an hour, is also the place where dreams begin!

Ahem, it’s very smoky when I wake up, so it’s more practical to write travel notes at home.

A few days ago, my best friend posted a lot of beautiful photos in WeChat Moments. It turned out that she went to Turkey.

Before she planned to go, many people warned her that due to political factors, Turkey has become more sensitive now, and told her not to go. She felt sorry for those who had already booked air tickets and hotels, so she gritted her teeth and went. When she came back, she told me that the streets and alleys were actually very safe, and the locals were very warm and friendly. I was really relieved for her.

I have never dared to go to Turkey, so I conducted an interview with my best friend and collected a lot of information about Turkey. I will share with you the things to do in Turkey!

Why do you want to go to Türkiye?

Dandan said: The actual reason is that I originally wanted to go to the UK, but a friend joined me temporarily, and it was too late for her to apply for a UK visa, so on a whim we chose the one that can get the visa in one and a half hours. Country, Turkey!

Is it so easy to get a Turkish visa? !

Dandan said: I went to Taobao and took a photo of the first page of my passport to them, and then they went online to apply for an electronic visa, and they got it half an hour later!

Is Turkey as dangerous as the legend says? After all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has classified Turkey as a sensitive area, and the Canadian and American foreign ministries have banned Chinese people from traveling there...

Dandan said: When I went there, the boss of my unit did not let us go. , saying that the political situation is very dangerous, and there is still a virus in the local area. A colleague from their branch was infected with the virus and died locally.

Do you still want to go? Have you ever worked too hard for money? . .

Dandan continued: After going there, you will find that the locals are very enthusiastic and like girls with Asian faces. When you go there, you feel like a star walking on the street. There will be many local people asking to take photos with us. I felt it was still very safe, and when I went there I asked the local escort if Turkey was safe, and the local escort said it was very safe. So why are there so many negative news about Turkey? The local companion Xiaoxiao said that he didn’t know very well.

Have you encountered ISIS?

Dandan said: We still met, but they came up to take a photo with us.

(Everyone’s travel trajectory is different, please do not imitate here... The picture is of ordinary Turkish people, not ISIS)

What impression does Turkey give you?

Dandan said: Turkey is really beautiful, especially Cappadocia, in the small town of Goreme, where hot air balloons are launched. Before I went there, I thought it was impossible to have so many hot air balloons, and the photos must have been photoshopped in post-production. But after I went there, I discovered that it was really beautiful, almost like a dream.

What are some fun places?

Transportation in Turkey is very inconvenient. Basically, you have to return to Istanbul to transfer anywhere, unless you choose to take a bus.

The journey usually takes about 10 hours, and it is all at night. Our time schedule is tight, and we are all girls, so we did not choose to take the car. After we went to Goreme (the location of the hot air balloon), we really wanted to go to Pamukkale, but if we wanted to go to Pamukkale, we would have to go back to Istanbul to take a flight, so we had to give up Pamukkale.

Antanlia is a beach that is very beautiful and also requires a transfer.

In Istanbul, you can see many unique local mosques and mountaintop cafes. You can enjoy the entire Turkey and the coastline. It is really beautiful.

What is the recommended itinerary for Türkiye?

Dandan said: 12 days is enough. If you don’t rush, you can basically go around the entire Turkey. Türkiye is still worth having fun. We went there for 6 days this time, and the total cost of air tickets and hotels, including rough calculations, was less than 10,000.

Historically, Turkey was once the center of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. It has a long history of 6,500 years and 13 different civilizations.

Cappadocia is about 260 kilometers away from Ankara, the capital of Türkiye. Millions of years ago, three volcanoes erupted successively, covering the Cappadocia area with volcanic ash.

The rocks roll forward in waves, changing from white to pink to dark purple as the sunlight changes. When filming the first "Star Wars" movie, Cappadocia deservedly became the preferred filming location for the movie's exteriors because of its resemblance to the moon's surface. The unique karst landforms are filled with breathtaking beauty, making countless travelers dream of it. This is Cappadocia, which was once selected as one of the top ten beautiful places on earth by the American "National Geographic" magazine.

Since then, Cappadocia has become the favorite of Hollywood directors, and the first scene in Jackie Chan's movie "The Secret Service" was also shot here.
